Bailey. Any replacement parts are covered for the
unexpired term of the Warranty Cover.
Term
2. The initial duration of the Bodyshell Integrity
Guarantee is six (6) years and the duration of the
Manufacturer’s Warranty is three (3) years in both
cases starting from the original purchase date of
the vehicle. It is a condition of the warranty that
an annual service is performed on the vehicle
in accordance with the service plan. Failure to
comply with this term will invalidate the warranty.
3. The unexpired term of the Warranty Cover on
your vehicle may only be assigned, transferred
or novated to subsequent owners with Bailey’s
consent (not to be unreasonably withheld) and
on payment to Bailey of a transfer fee of £35.
Transfer can only be made within the first three
months (3) of subsequent ownership and full
documentary evidence that the vehicle has been
serviced annually must be provided at the time
of assignment in accordance with the terms and
conditions detailed above.
Repairs
4. The Unicorn caravan must undergo a full annual
service and inspection, including a moisture
survey, carried out, subject to paragraph 5 below,
by an Authorised Service Centre. The final annual
service in the warranty period must be carried
out before the end of that warranty period, but all
other annual services may be carried out within
six (6) weeks either side of each anniversary
of the original purchase date. The original VAT
invoices must be retained as proof that these
annual inspections have been carried out.
5. During the first three (3) years of the Warranty
Cover, all annual inspections and repairs must be
carried out either by Bailey itself or an approved
Bailey Service Centre or Agent. Thereafter, due to
the technical nature of an Alu-Tech constructed
caravan, annual inspections and repairs may be
carried out by any workshop or repair centre
approved by the National Caravan Council that has
attended Alu-Tech training courses at the Bailey
factory.
6. Where an annual inspection identifies that
repairs to the vehicle are necessary, the Unicorn
caravan must be made available for repair within
six (6) weeks of the date of inspection for the
purpose of carrying out the repair work.
7. No repairs, including the fitting of any
replacement unit, may be undertaken or
commenced under the terms of the Warranty
Cover unless prior written authorisation is
obtained from Bailey via an authorised Bailey
Retailer or Service Centre. No liability will exist
with regard to any warranty claims not authorised
in this way.
8. Bailey reserve the right to examine the vehicle
before any repairs commence or any replacement
part is fitted.
Registration & Use
9. The Warranty Registration Form must have
been sent to Bailey within six (6) weeks of the
original purchase date. It is the responsibility of
the Bailey Retailer to forward this information to
Bailey. This is part of the terms of trading that the
Bailey Retailer has with Bailey.
10. The Unicorn caravan shall:
(a) only be used for its ordinary and intended
purpose and shall not be subjected to any
treatment or conditions which could reasonably
be foreseen to cause or result in damage to the
vehicle or excessive wear and tear;
(b) only be towed by a private car or private 4 x 4
vehicle; and
(c) not be put out to hire, reward or any
other commercial use, nor used in any race,
competitions or rallies whether timed, official or
otherwise.
Exclusions & Liability
11. Bailey’s liability under this warranty shall
be limited to supplying the reasonable costs of
labour and materials required for the repair or
replacement of faulty parts or components. Bailey
shall be entitled to charge for any repair work
which is necessitated by virtue of any loss or
damage caused by your negligence or default or
incurred as a result of any modifications you have
made to the vehicle. This warranty does not cover
repair costs other than labour and materials.
12. The Warranty Cover does not include:
(a) repair or replacement of parts, components,
seams or panels which are not part of the original
construction of the Unicorn caravan, or which have
been tampered with or undergone unauthorised
modifications, or which have been repaired
otherwise than by an Authorised Service Centre;
(b) parts or components other than those
specifically listed in the Bodyshell Integrity
Guarantee and Manufacturer’s Warranty
descriptions set out above;
(c) general maintenance or components failing due
to fair wear and tear or normal deterioration;
(d) repairs necessitated by lack of routine or
regular maintenance. Particular attention is drawn
to the Owner’s Manual and Service Handbook
supplied with the caravan and any maintenance
instructions or notices published from time to
time by Bailey relating to the proper care and
maintenance of vehicles; or
(e) structural degradation or other damage caused
by water ingress through non-permanently sealed
seams or joints (such as, without limitation,
around windows, hatches, doors and rooflights),
beyond the initial 24 months of the Manufacturer’s
