The Administrator may, at its discretion, elect to agree with You a value for Your Vehicle where the parts and labour cost of the repair exceeds the market value of Your Vehicle at the time of failure. The same will apply where the parts needed for repair are no longer available.

B.Breakdown Assistance (attended by a national breakdown specialist), which includes; Roadside, Recovery and At Home

All arrangements for Breakdown Assistance and relevant telephone calls will be handled by our chosen third party breakdown specialist (the Breakdown Provider). The Breakdown Provider or one of its contractors will attend Your Vehicle in the event of a valid request. We reserve the right to change the Breakdown Provider carrying out the services detailed within this Section 5.B at any time.

How to obtain assistance

If Your Vehicle has a breakdown, please follow these simple steps:

• Telephone the Breakdown Provider on the following number: 0330 018 3448 (calls from mobiles may be charged at network operator’s premium rate, telephone calls will be handled by the Breakdown Provider and may be recorded and/or monitored).
• Advise the operator of the location of the Vehicle, the nature of any fault, and provide any other information requested by the operator; and the number of the phone You are using.
• Ring the Breakdown Provider back (on the free number) if You get going before the patrol arrives. Only accept help from the patrol or contractor that has been sent to assist You by the Breakdown Provider.
• Do not go ahead and make Your own arrangements, as the Breakdown Provider cannot arrange reimbursement of costs incurred without prior authorisation.

Roadside

Roadside is available for the Vehicle detailed in Your Plan Schedule. Roadside operates in the United Kingdom only.

If You are stranded on a public highway (or other accessible road or area to which the public has the right of access) because the Vehicle has a breakdown, We will arrange for a contractor to assist You who will try to repair the Vehicle at the roadside.

Roadside includes labour at the scene of the breakdown but not labour at any garage to which the Vehicle is taken, unless such labour is covered under section 5.A (Maintenance Inspection and Repair) or 5.D (Routine Servicing) of this Agreement.

If the Vehicle cannot be repaired at the roadside, or if repairs are unwise, the Breakdown Provider will arrange for the Vehicle and up to 8 people to be taken to a destination of Your choice within ten miles. If You have no preferred destination, the Breakdown Provider will arrange for the Vehicle to be taken to a nearby garage. If You wish the Vehicle to be taken to any other destination, the Breakdown Provider will use reasonable endeavours to assist if You pay for the towage costs for the whole distance.

If You cannot readily get to the Vehicle, the Breakdown Provider will arrange, if practicable, to have it towed to a place of safety and stored until You can collect it.

Please note: The Breakdown Provider will not arrange to tow or transport any Vehicle, which, in their reasonable opinion, is loaded beyond its legal limit. If the Vehicle is in a position where the Breakdown Provider cannot arrange for work to be undertaken on it or tow it, or wheels have been removed, they can arrange to rectify this but You will have to pay the costs involved.

Roadside does not cover:

1. Routine servicing of Your Vehicle or the cost of parts. These may however be covered by the Administrator under section 5.A (Subscription Warranty (Maintenance Inspection and Repair)) or 5.D (Routine Servicing) of this agreement.
2. The cost of fuel or other supplies.
3. Replacing tyres or windows
4. Missing or broken keys. The Breakdown Provider will try to arrange the services of a locksmith if You pay them direct.
5. The cost of ferry crossings, road tolls and congestion charges.
6. Vehicles being demonstrated or delivered by motor traders or used under trade plates.
7. Contaminated fuel. However, the Breakdown Provider will arrange for the Vehicle to be taken to a local garage for You to arrange and pay for any work carried out.
8. Any vehicle storage charges before, during or after any assistance provided by the Breakdown Provider.
9. Assistance following an accident, fire, theft or vandalism or other incident normally covered by a motor insurance policy. The Breakdown Provider can arrange assistance if You pay for the cost of assistance. (You may be able to recover these costs under the terms of Your motor insurance policy).
10. If there are animals in the Vehicle, their onward transportation is at the sole discretion of the Breakdown Provider and is carried out solely at Your risk. The Breakdown Provider will not insure any animal or livestock in transit, during any onward transportation.

Recovery

Recovery has the same features and limitations as Roadside but with the following variations:

If the Breakdown Provider cannot arrange for the Vehicle to be repaired locally within a reasonable time, they will arrange for the Vehicle and up to 8 people to be taken home or to another single address. If there are more than 5 people, this may require two separate vehicles. An adult must accompany any persons under the age of 16.

Recovery does not cover:

1. Use of the services having the object or effect of avoiding repair costs. For example, if a vehicle can be repaired in a reasonable time, the Breakdown Provider may not arrange recovery but arrange for repair instead.
2. Recovery, which is required because the Breakdown Provider have previously arranged a temporary repair, which has not subsequently been properly repaired by You.

At Home

At Home allows You to use Roadside services within 1⁄4 mile of home or the place where You normally keep the Vehicle.

At Home does not cover:

a.         rectifying failed repairs attempted by You or someone on Your behalf.

General terms applying to Breakdown Assistance:

1. Roadside, Recovery and At Home covers United Kingdom registered vehicles only.
2. The Breakdown Provider cannot procure services for Your Vehicle if it is unattended.
3. The Breakdown Provider does not guarantee to procure services in whole, or in part, if the Breakdown Provider or its contractors are prevented from doing so due to any circumstances beyond their reasonable control.
4. The Breakdown Provider and its contractors reserve the right to refuse to give service if anyone in Your party behaves in a threatening or abusive way to their staff or contractors.
5. Your telephone calls to and from the Breakdown Provider and its contractors may be monitored and recorded for the purposes of staff training and quality assessment. This complies with Oftel regulations.
6. If the service You require is not included within Roadside, Recovery and At Home, the Breakdown Provider will try, if You wish, to arrange it at Your expense. The terms of, and any payment for, any such services are a matter for You and the supplier, and the Breakdown Provider will not act as an agent for You or the supplier.

7. Vehicles, which have broken down as a result of taking part in a motor sport event, which takes place off the road and/or is not subject to the normal rules of the road, are not covered.

Nothing in this document gives You any rights against the Breakdown Provider.
