SERVICE PLANS

Volvo Terms and Conditions

1. Introduction

This document sets out the terms and conditions relating to the purchase of a Volvo Service Plan (Volvo Service Plan).

Volvo Service Plan is provided by Volvo Car Australia Pty Ltd ABN: 18 004 830 611 (Volvo).

Volvo Service Plan may be purchased from participating Australian Volvo retailers (Participating Volvo Retailers) for eligible Volvo vehicles up to 12 months from the first date of vehicle registration in Australia (or, in the case of an unregistered vehicle, up to 12 months from the date of delivery to the first purchaser), subject always to the relevant vehicle not having had its first service performed at the first service interval identified on the Volvo Service Plan Certificate (VSP Certificate).

Volvo Service Plan applies only in respect of the vehicle identified on the VSP Certificate issued at the point of sale of Volvo Service Plan (the Vehicle). Volvo Service Plan is only transferable upon the private sale of the Vehicle. A Vehicle’s entitlement to Volvo Service Plan will be recorded in Volvo’s electronic files relating to the Vehicle.

In circumstances where a Volvo Service Plan has been validly purchased (Original Service Plan), then it may be possible for you to later purchase a “top up plan” (if such top up plan has been made available by Volvo) for such service intervals determined by Volvo that are subsequent to the service intervals covered by the Original Service Plan (Top Up Plan).

You may be denied the right to purchase a Top Up Plan where you have not complied with the terms and conditions governing the Original Service Plan. Further, you will not be able to purchase a Top Up Plan where the Vehicle has already been serviced at a service interval that would be covered by the Top Up Plan.

For the avoidance of doubt, a Top Up Plan is a Volvo Service Plan for the purposes of these Terms and Conditions.

2. Eligibility period

Volvo’s obligations under Volvo Service Plan commence on the date set out in the VSP Certificate for the Vehicle and shall continue until the closing date or closing kilometres, whichever occurs first, as specified on the VSP Certificate for the Vehicle (Eligibility Period).

For the avoidance of any doubt, the Eligibility Period commences as follows:

(a) from the date the Vehicle was first registered in Australia; or

(b) in circumstances where a Top Up Plan has been purchased as contemplated by section 1 above, from the expiry of the Eligibility Period of the Original Service Plan until the time of the final Service Interval depicted on the VSP Certificate for the Top Up Plan.

Your right to redeem Volvo Service Plan cover for the Vehicle expires immediately upon expiry of the Eligibility Period.

Refunds are under no circumstances payable in the case that you do not redeem Volvo Service Plan within the Eligibility Period or where you are unable to redeem the Volvo Service Plan cover for the Vehicle for any reason, including (without limitation) in circumstances where the Vehicle is damaged beyond repair during the Eligibility Period.

3. Coverage – inclusions

(b) such preventable treatment as Volvo considers necessary.

You must also:

(a) comply with the instructions in the Volvo Owner’s Service Booklet and take steps to minimise any Vehicle damage in the event of Vehicle defect or failure; and

(b) maintain, operate and use the Vehicle in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and within the specified operating limitations.

6. General

Volvo Service Plan applies in addition to any statutory rights or remedies that you may have, including under the Australian Consumer Law. These Terms and Conditions do not in any way exclude, restrict, limit or modify those rights or remedies. Any rights and benefits which you enjoy in terms of the new vehicle warranty conditions will not be affected by the provisions of Volvo Service Plan.

The carrying out of work/service on the Vehicle under Volvo Service Plan may result in the loss of any user generated data electronically stored within the Vehicle (including data, songs or files stored on the Vehicle’s hard drive). Please ensure that you have made a copy of any such data in an alternative media before delivering the Vehicle for any work under Volvo Service Plan.

These Terms and Conditions may be amended from time to time. Amendments will be published on the Volvo website www.volvocars.com/au and will take effect immediately on publication.
