This warranty does not affect the application of the statutory warranty provided for in Article 1649 bis to 1649 octies of the Belgian Civil Code. As second-hand goods are involved in this case, the Parties expressly agree to limit the statutory guarantee to a period of 12 months (1 year) in accordance with Article 1649quater of the Civil Code.

To be covered, the vehicles must be registered in Belgium, Luxembourg, France, the Netherlands or Germany and the owner must be domiciled in one of these countries. 'Domiciled' refers to the place where the owner of the vehicle has official residence.

When purchasing a My Way used car, you benefit from a warranty of at least one year (12 months) as of the date of delivery, at the authorised My Way dealer of your choice.
This warranty covers all forms of damage (including parts and labour) but excludes wearing parts, parts falling under the service plan, damage after bodywork repairs, and accessories.

This guarantee can be extended for a period of up to 24 months subject to payment of a supplement.

• Repairs covered by this warranty are those repairs that are required to bring the vehicle into line with the sales contract within the meaning of Articles 1649 bis to 1649 octies of the Civil Code, but excluding any accidents or vehicle adjustments or any faults or incidents due to normal wear and tear of the vehicle or use by the owner and/or the user that is not in accordance with the purpose of the vehicle, and the warranty does not cover normal maintenance during the cover period. This warranty is separate from the manufacturer's contractual warranty, which remains in place for the purchaser of the used car in those cases in which it applies. This warranty in no way replaces the warranty against hidden defects or the professional civil liability of the repairer and complements other agreements entered into by the purchaser.

By 'normal wear and tear' we mean the gradual deterioration in quality resulting from the inevitable effects of friction and/or corrosion that can be expected during normal use of the car, in view of the year of construction and the mileage.

By 'normal maintenance' we mean the periodic replacement of parts, the adjustment and periodic replacement of fluids, the fluids required for lubrication, cooling and vehicle braking, and the adjustment and replacement of parts by a professional garage.

Throughout the term of the agreement, maintenance shall be performed by the 'Authorized My Way Distributor' who sold you the vehicle or by a brand-authorised dealer, whereby the maintenance shall be demonstrated by means of an invoice.

By 'user' we mean the owner or the person who with the permission of the owner is using and driving the vehicle covered by the My Way warranty for used cars at the time the incident is reported or the vehicle is handed over to the repairer.

• The work or repairs undertaken by the service provider shall be performed with the permission and under the supervision of the user. For the cost of repairs and of delivery of the parts that are not covered by the insurer, we recommend asking for a quotation in advance – a service which is subject to payment in certain cases. The service provider shall be solely responsible for any work or repairs performed.
• This statutory My Way warranty for used cars cannot be transferred when the purchaser sells his/her vehicle to a professional car dealer.

The warranty may be transferred to a new, non-professional owner of the vehicle on condition that since the vehicle was purchased, it has been maintained in accordance with the requirements given in the manufacturer's warranty booklet and that the new owner accepts these conditions. Full contact details of the new owner shall be submitted within five (5) days of the date of registration to the dealer who has sold the vehicle. This also applies to a transfer taking the form of a gift or of an inheritance.

In case of total loss of the vehicle, the cover shall be automatically terminated.

In case of theft, attempted theft or accident, the damage caused by this theft, attempted theft or accident is not covered by this agreement.

Fire damage and damage arising from vandalism are also excluded.

Under no circumstances may the compensation paid in the context of a claim under the statutory My Way warranty for used cars exceed the market value of the vehicle on the day preceding the most recent claim. This limitation also applies in case of application of article 1649 quinquies of the Civil Code.

• All parts making up the chassis and the bodywork in general, as well as door hinges and door stops, the paint, the sunroof (except the mechanism and the motor), the whole of the folding roof (except its mechanism and motor), the seats (*), the carpet, all the exterior and interior lining of the vehicle, the dashboard, the console, all insulation, all interior fittings, all windows (with or without frosting), the rear-view mirror mechanism and the wheel rims.

The Replacement Car Guarantee will not cover the breakdown service or any towing if this guarantee was not invoked, unless the towing was organised by the police or on certain European motorways (e.g. in France), subject to the provision of supporting documents.

The assistance services shall be requested at the time of the events justifying the invocation of the Replacement Car Guarantee. There is no entitlement to any subsequent reimbursement or compensation payment for services not requested at the time of the situation or that were refused or not organised with the consent of those in charge of the Replacement Car Guarantee. For each request by a user, those in charge of the Replacement Car Guarantee will check whether it meets the criteria and ask him or her to provide the following information:

-              the chassis and registration number;

-              the owner's name and address, the brand and model of the vehicle, the location of the vehicle and any other additional information he or she deems useful.

The services may not under any circumstances give rise to any financial benefit to the user. Instead, they are intended to help the user, within the scope of this agreement, in case of unexpected or accidental events.

The services provided for by the Replacement Car Guarantee shall be performed when the vehicle is rendered out of action due to a breakdown (including a self-inflicted breakdown: see below).

By 'breakdown' we mean any mechanical failure of the vehicle that is the result of inappropriate assembly or a faulty part that makes normal use of the vehicle impossible, resulting in the vehicle being off the road. Below is a full list of the circumstances regarded as self-inflicted and therefore deemed to constitute a breakdown:

-              a flat tyre;

-              a problem with the battery;

-              damage caused by martens.

The vehicle is deemed off the road if the event has the direct effect that it cannot be driven any more or unsuitable for use in traffic according to the traffic regulations.
