Terms of Sale

1. We are pleased to accept your order as set out above. You are encouraged to take time to read all the details of this Purchase Agreement and the related Licence Agreement. If you decide not to proceed within a period of 5 days from the date of this order, you can cancel by giving us notice in writing without penalty.
Where you have breached the agreement by cancelling outside the 5 day "cooling off" period, we will be entitled to recover our losses incurred in consequence.

2. We will notify you in writing when the Caravan is sited and ready for use. Any date given for the Start Date is approximate only and we shall not be liable for any delay if this occurs as the result of any cause beyond reasonable control.

3. We expect you to pay the balance due for the purchase of the Caravan within 28 days after we have notified you under clause 2 above that it is ready for use. If you do not pay the balance due within 28 days after the day we inform you the Caravan is ready for use. We reserve the right to charge interest at 4% per annum over base rate from time to time of a London clearing bank (in Northern Ireland, a Northern Irish Bank) nominated by us to cover the period from the end of that month until payment actually takes place.

4. If the rate of value added tax changes between the date of your order and the date of completion we will make the necessary adjustments to the amount of value added tax charged to you.

5. Risk of damage to or loss of the Caravan and ownership of the Caravan shall pass to you upon payment of the balance due actually taking place. You should therefore make your insurance arrangements to come into effect from that time. Please check your Licence Agreement to ensure you meet the insurance requirements and ask us about cover that may be available through our agency.
