1.5 Service will not be provided to a member who in our view is abusive, threatening or violent to any 24/7 staff member or contractor, or who attempts to receive service by deception. Should a member behave in this way we may, after full investigation;

1.8 Roadside Assistance is only available on any sealed or designated road that the service provider deems to be safe. Roadside Assistance is only provided where the weight of the vehicle is less than 3.5 Tonnes gross and the length of the vehicle is less than 5.5 metres.

1.9 If your vehicle requires a tow, we can assist you in making arrangements for the transportation and or storage of any additional items other than your vehicle (e.g. caravan, car-trailer, horse floats etc). This service will be at the driver/member's expense - payable upon request of service.

1.10 There may be rare instances where a service provider is not available to assist you (remote areas). In these instances you will be required to arrange your own rescue or recovery at your own expense.

1.11 Any charges for batteries, excess towing, salvage, emergency fuel, locksmiths, holding yards, toll costs or “Emergency Join- Up Fees” etc. must be paid by the driver/member to the service provider at the time of service (failure to pay any of these charges will void your membership).

1.12 We will not authorise or pay for any service performed/ carried out prior to the commencement date of the membership.

1.13 If you are not in attendance with your vehicle at the time when the service provider arrives the service cannot be supplied and one call-out will be deducted from the member's’ call-outs. Further call-outs related to the same breakdown will be considered a separate call-out.

1.14 Roadside Assistance is provided in the event of an unexpected mechanical breakdown. It does not cover vehicle maintenance or permanent repairs. Temporary repairs may be made at the request of the member/driver to mobilise the vehicle (where able). However, regular maintenance or any mechanical repairs, major or otherwise, is the member’s responsibility and will be at the member's expense.

1.15 We will attempt to transport all passengers with the vehicle, provided that each person can be legally transported in the tow truck. In the event that we are unable to transport all passengers we will assist in organising alternate transport, such as a taxi, at the member’s expense.

1.16 Once a call-out has been provided for a breakdown, any subsequent call-outs arising from the same breakdown will be provided at the member’s expense payable at the time of the call-out. This includes towing for a vehicle that has been towed after hours to the member’s home, a holding yard or other place of safety and subsequently requires further towing for the same breakdown.

• e) a vehicle that has been involved in or suffered damage as a consequence of an accident, flood, theft, fire or malicious damage.
• f) a vehicle which has been modified in ways that in our view increase the possibility of it sustaining damage during Towing , or in ways that make damage-free towing difficult, unless such modifications are removed prior to Towing. This includes modified or factory released accessories;
• g) a vehicle which has been driven or transported to any licensed motor vehicle repairer;
• h) any parts, labour or other costs related with the repair of a vehicle;

1.18 In the event the member insists the vehicle be broken into to recover keys locked inside the vehicle, no responsibility or liability is taken by 24/7 or its contractors for any damage to your vehicle that may occur as a result. Due to contractor limitations, this service may not be available in all cases.

1.19 If a member makes use of all the service call-outs in a membership year, you will be required to pay a service fee by credit card at the time of the call for each additional service request. Unused call-outs may not be carried forward. Four and Five Star Plans have no call-out limits, subject to section 1.20 below.

1.20 If a member has received and continues to request Roadside Assistance or Towing for a vehicle repeatedly on an unjust and excessive number of instances in a year we may refuse to provide further Roadside Assistance or Towing and will then offer an alternative service at the member’s expense – payable upon request of service.
