Terms and Conditions

1. Scope
 1.1  This Premier Protection Plan (the “Plan”) is a fixed price protection plan offered by Zung Fu subject to the directions and recommendations of Mercedes-Benz (the “Manufacturer”) notified to Zung Fu from time to time. The Plan is for your Mercedes-Benz vehicle in Hong Kong specified herein (the “Vehicle”) within the period and for the fee set out in Schedule 1 hereto (the "Fee"), and is subject to the Terms and Conditions ( the “Terms and Conditions”) herein.
 1.2  The Plan provides protection to the Vehicle sold by Zung Fu for the parts and labour cost of repair pertaining to the failure of all mechanical and electrical parts. This is on the basis that the failure of a component is sudden and unforeseen, arising from any permanent mechanical or electrical defect, (for a reason other than wear and tear, normal deterioration or negligence) that may cause a sudden stoppage of its function, necessitating immediate repair or replacement of the component before normal operation can be assumed.
 1.3  All repairs and related work arising under the Plan must be carried out at one of Zung Fu’s service centres, in accordance with the Manufacturer’s recommendations as notified to Zung Fu from time to time.
 1.4  All claims under the Plan shall be subject to examination by Zung Fu. In the event of an unsuccessful claim, the cost of examination would be borne by the Customer.

 2.1  The Vehicle must have been serviced by a reputable service centre once every twelve (12) months or every 12,000 kilometres, whichever comes first. A service interval in excess of twelve (12) months or 12,000km will invalidate this Plan. Zung Fu recommends that such servicing should be carried out at one of Zung Fu’s service centres, which are the only authorised Mercedes-Benz service centres in Hong Kong.
 2.2  The Vehicle is at all times properly used, maintained and operated in accordance with the Manufacturer’s operating instructions, capacity limitations and the procedures set out in the owner’s manual unless otherwise mentioned in the Plan.
