Harvok Warranty
Australian Consumer Law

You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.
Harvok Warranty
Harvok warrants to the Owner that it will during the Harvok Warranty Period, at its option, repair, replace or adjust free of charge at the premises of Harvok or a Harvok 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.
No individual (including any agent, employee or representative of Harvok) is authorised to make any representation or warranty concerning the Harvok Warranty except to refer to this document.
Any warranty or representation other than set out in this document, whether written or verbal, is hereby expressly excluded and negatived.
The Harvok Warranty is a contract entered into between Harvok and the Owner. The rights and title to or benefits under the Harvok 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 Harvok Warranty extinguishes on the sale, transfer or disposal of the Owner’s right, title and interest in the Van or Part.
Exceptions
Each of the following will constitute an exception in which case the Harvok Warranty will cease to apply:
- tears, punctures, shrinkage, softening or fading of fabric items such as canvas, canopies, cushions, mattress and uphol stery;
- 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 Harvok;
- Harvok 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 Harvok in the Harvok Owner’s Manual or in other communication by Harvok to the Owner;
- 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 Harvok 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,
- 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 Harvok or a Harvok 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 Harvok 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.
Supplied Parts
Any Parts which are not manufactured or imported by Harvok (“Supplied Parts”) are not covered by the Harvok 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.
- Subject to any statutory rights the Owner may have which cannot be excluded, Harvok assumes no responsibility or liability for defects in workmanship or operation of Supplied Parts. Harvok will make reasonable assistance to the Owner in contacting the manufacturer or importer of Supplied Parts to make a warranty claim.
- Notwithstanding clauses 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3, the Harvok Warranty will cover defects in workmanship of Harvok only in respect of the installation of any Supplied Parts.
Harvok Warranty Period

How to Claim
The Owner must notify Harvok in writing detailing any defects for which a claim under the Harvok Warranty is being made.
The Customer must submit a detailed claim which includes:
- proof of ownership of the Van (by either proof of purchase directly from Harvok or vehicle registration papers from the relevant government department);
- a detailed description of the alleged defect;
- the cause of the alleged defect;
- good quality detailed photographs of the defect,
- deliver the Van, or affected Part if it can be safely removed from the Van, to Harvok or a Harvok Approved Service Repairer;
- allow Harvok to remove any damaged or defective Part to allow for further investigation and testing; and
- cooperate with all reasonable requests of Harvok.
The cost of delivery and collection of the Van to and from Harvok or a Harvok Approved Service Repairer are an Owner’s responsibility, unless the defect covered by the Harvok Warranty prevents the Van being safely delivered by the Owner.
In the event the Van becomes inoperative or unsafe as a result of a defect which is covered by the Harvok Warranty, the Owner must:
- immediately cease use of the Van; and
- contact Harvok as soon as reasonably practicable possible to arrange for the Van to be inspected and carry out the required service or repair.
If requested by the Owner, Harvok may carry out repairs or services for a defect covered by the Harvok Warranty on-site at the location of the Van on payment by the Owner of a call out fee determined by Harvok.
Harvok will not reimburse any repair work carried out by a person other than a Harvok Approved Service Repairer and/or without prior express, written consent of Harvok.
General

Harvok is not responsible for loss of time, inconvenience or other loss resulting from a defect. The Harvok Warranty covers only the repair, replacement or adjustment of the Van found by Harvok to be defective and covered by the Harvok Warranty.
After delivery of a Van or Part subject of a claim under a Harvok Warranty to Harvok or a Harvok Approved Service Repairer, if Harvok determines the Van or Part is free from a defect covered by the Harvok Warranty then Harvok may recover the cost and expense of inspecting, investigating and testing the defect from the Owner.
The Harvok 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.
To avoid warranty issues, service schedule guide as outlined in the Owner’s Manual should be followed.
If the Van is used in harsh conditions (such as beach and off-road environments or in extreme climatic areas), or with care less and reckless driving habits then additional or more frequent maintenance services may be required. Costs, maintenance items and other wear and tear items not covered by the Harvok Warranty include:
