rial or workmanship during the warranty period expressed in
paragraph 1(b). All replaced parts shall become the property
of the Company.
(c) LIMITED WARRANTY - Corrosion Perforation.
The Company warrants to the original owner and each
subsequent owner during the warranty period set forth in
Paragraph 1(c), that if corrosion perforation occurs on the
chassis or composite body structure of a Lotus motor car,
within the warranty period expressed in Paragraph 1(c),
the parts or components affected by such perforation shall
be repaired or replaced, without charge for labour or parts.
Provided, however, that:
a) the Lotus car must be brought to an authorised Lotus
dealer for inspection at least one time each year; and
b) the Lotus car has been used and maintained in a normal
and reasonable manner.
c) corrosion perforation is not due to any or all of the following:
an accident; abuse; damage; installation of an accessory;
chemical substance; an act of nature; fire; or salvaged car.
(d) OBTAINING REPAIRS.
All warranted repairs will be effected at Lotus Dealers upon
presentation of suitable evidence of eligibility. A reasonable
time must be allowed for the dealership to perform necessary
repairs, and customers are requested to allow such a reason-
able amount of time. It is not Lotus Cars USA's responsibility
to provide the customer with a loan car during these repairs.
The provision of a loan car should be discussed with the
dealer.
