Warranty

1. Australian Consumer Law
   1. Zone RV Vans and Parts are covered by the guarantees which cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. Owners are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and for compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality, and the failure does not amount to a major failure.

2. Zone RV Warranty
   1. Zone RV warrants to the Owner that it will during the Zone RV Warranty Period, at its option, repair, replace or adjust free of charge at the premises of Zone RV or a Zone RV Approved Service Repairer, the Van or Part which it finds to be defective in factory materials or workmanship under Normal Use and Condition within Australia provided that an Exception does not apply.
   2. No individual (including any agent, employee or representative of Zone RV) is authorised to make any representation or warranty concerning the Zone RV Warranty except to refer to this document.
   3. Any warranty or representation other than set out in this document, whether written or verbal, is hereby expressly excluded and negatived.
   4. The Zone RV Warranty is a contract entered into between Zone RV and the Owner. The rights and title to or benefits under the Zone RV Warranty are not capable of assignment to any subsequent owner of the Van or Part or any other person. To the maximum extent permissible by law, the Zone RV Warranty extinguishes on the sale, transfer or disposal of the Owner’s right, title and interest in the Van or Part.  

3. Exceptions
   1. Each of the following will constitute an Exception in which case the Zone RV Warranty will cease to apply:
      • tears, punctures, shrinkage, softening or fading of fabric items such as canvas, canopies, cushions, mattress and upholstery;
      • any defect is attributable, whether wholly or partly, to any Modification made to the Van, or use of a Part subject of a Modification, unless such Modification has been made by or with the prior express, written consent and direction of Zone RV;
      • Zone RV believes on reasonable grounds the Van has been:
        • Written Off;
        • used for full time or permanent residential purposes which has accelerated fair wear and tear; or
        • used for any purpose other than recreational personal use including commercial or hire purposes,
      • the Van or a Part has become defective as a result of:
        • fair wear and tear;
        • the Owner’s failure to properly maintain or use the Van in accordance with the recommendations and instructions specified by Zone RV in the Zone RV Owner’s Manual or in other communication by Zone RV to the Owner;
        • the Owner’s failure to have the Van properly, regularly and punctually serviced in accordance with the recommendations specified for the Van by Zone RV;
        • misuse or neglect of the Van or a Part;
        • normal deterioration or reduction in aesthetic or physical appearance caused by UV exposure;
        • the Van, or the motor vehicle towing the Van, being involved in a motor vehicle crash;
        • accident, theft or fire;
        • water ingress from submersion or water crossing;
        • the Van being used at excessive speeds; or
        • stone or rock strike, hail, windstorm, lightning or other weather event.
      • the Owner has not complied with all, or has done anything contrary to or in breach of any, recommendations and requirements contained in the Zone RV Owner’s Manual;
      • the Van is towed by a motor vehicle that:
        • is not suitable for the size and weight of the Van when fully loaded;
        • is unsuitable in any other material respect; or
        • has not been fitted with appropriate towing equipment,
   2. Where a defect is exacerbated, or the cost of repairing such a defect is increased, by a failure of the Owner to deliver the Van to the premises of Zone RV or a Zone RV Approved Service Repairer for the carrying out of the required repair of a defect as soon as possible after the Owner became aware, or ought to have become aware, of the defect, the Zone RV Warranty shall only cover the part of the defect that arose to the time the Owner knew, or ought to have known, of the defect.

4. Supplied Parts
   1. Any Parts which are not manufactured or imported by Zone RV (“Supplied Parts”) are not covered by the Zone RV Warranty to the maximum extent permitted by law in the following respects, which cases Supplied Parts are separately warranted by the manufacturer or importer:
      • that the Supplied Parts are of acceptable quality;
      • that the Supplied Parts are reasonably fit for the purpose for which they are represented  to be fit or for which the Owner makes known they are being acquired;
      • that the Supplied Parts correspond with any description of them;
      • that spare parts and facilities for the repair of any Supplied Parts will be reasonably available; and
      • that the manufacturer or importer of Supplied Parts will comply with any express warranty given by that party.
   2. Where they are available and supplied to Zone RV by the manufacturer or importer of Supplied Parts, Zone RV will make available copies of any warranty documents or manuals to the Owner.
   3. Subject to any statutory rights the Owner may have which cannot be excluded, Zone RV assumes no responsibility or liability for defects in workmanship or operation of Supplied Parts. Zone RV will make reasonable assistance to the Owner in contacting the manufacturer or importer of Supplied Parts to make a warranty claim.
   4. The Zone RV Warranty will cover defects in workmanship of Zone RV only in respect of the installation of any Supplied Parts.

5. Zone RV Warranty Period
   1. The Zone RV Warranty Period extending to the installation of Supplied Parts will differ for each Supplied Part and from the separate warranty from the manufacturer or importer of the Supplied Part.
   2. Table 2 sets out the Zone RV Warranty Period from Practical Completion and reference to Supplied Part which carries warranty period specified by the supplier of that part.
   3. These lengths of time may change from time to time and are outside of the control of Zone RV. Zone RV provides no warranty or representation that the periods of time of Supplied Parts won’t change.

After delivery of a Van or Part subject of a claim under a Zone RV Warranty to Zone RV or a  Zone RV Approved Service Repairer, if Zone RV determines the Van or Part is free from a  defect covered by the Zone RV Warranty then Zone RV may recover the cost and expense of  inspecting, investigating and testing the defect from the Owner.
   5. The Zone RV Warranty does not cover regular service costs, maintenance costs and wear  and tear items since they do not arise from defects in factory materials or workmanship.
