7.2.1 the Family Member permits us to seek suitable references and to carry out appropriate enquiries,

7.2.2 he attends a meeting with us should we require one and

8.6 Where we review our charges so that you pay a separate charge for a service which was previously supplied and paid for through the Pitch Fee, we shall be obliged to reduce the Pitch Fee by an amount equivalent to the cost to us of supplying that service.

9. Moving the Caravan

9.1 Within the Agreement Period, we may wish to move the Caravan to another part of the Park and this clause sets out the basis on which we may do that, for example because we are redeveloping an area of the Park, or installing some facility or are required to comply with a Local Authority Site Licence condition or for access to an area of the Park which cannot reasonably be gained by any other route.

9.2.1 We are allowed to move the Caravan for the purposes of    redevelopment and/or maintenance of the Park and when this      happens we will give you at least 28 days’ notice in writing. If the   Caravan has to be moved because of some emergency or because of works to be carried out by a third party over whom we have no   control such as a water supply company or other utility company, we will give you as much notice as we can.

9.2.2 We will ensure that any temporary move to an alternative pitch of similar quality will be as short as reasonably practicable for the   redevelopment and/or maintenance work.

9.3 We will be responsible for all reasonable costs incurred in moving the Caravan.

9.4 Following the movement of the Caravan, we are entitled to return the Caravan to its original Pitch or to site it permanently on another pitch. If the consequence of the redevelopment or maintenance work is that the original pitch is less pleasant, or if the move is permanent, we must offer an alternative pitch of similar quality to the original pitch as it was before the move.

9.5 Any dispute arising under clause 9.4 above as to the pleasantness of the alternative pitch or the question whether the original Pitch is of similar quality by reason of the development may be referred to the Independent Surveyor under clause 16 of this Licence Agreement. This does not restrict your right to seek dispute resolution through the courts.

The Licence Agreement may come to an end in any of the following ways,

10.1 By you giving us notice in writing of your wish to end it.

10.2 Because the Agreement Period has come to an end.

10.3 By the sale of the Caravan or by you losing ownership of it.

10.4 By us terminating it because you have broken your obligations under this Licence Agreement.

11. When we may terminate the Licence Agreement

11.1 If you are in serious breach of your obligations under this Licence Agreement and the breach is not capable of being remedied or is such that it causes a breakdown in the relationship between you and us (for example violence or intentional damage to property), we may serve upon you reasonable notice in writing to terminate this Licence Agreement. In deciding what period of notice is reasonable, we shall have due regard to the nature of the breach.

11.2 If you are in breach of any of your obligations under this Licence Agreement which is capable of being remedied (for example such as a failure to comply with the behaviour standards in clause 5 or a failure to repair the Caravan (clause 4.6) or to pay Pitch Fees or any other accounts promptly (clause 4.3)) or any other accounts, we may write giving you warning, specifying the breach and asking you to remedy the breach within a reasonable and specified time. If you do not   comply with that warning and the breach is either serious and/or mounts to persistent breaches of obligation which taken individually would be minor but which taken together cause a breakdown in the relationship between us, we are entitled to write to you to end the Licence Agreement and to require you to make arrangements with us for the removal of the Caravan from the Park within 28 days.

12. When you may terminate the Licence Agreement

You are entitled to bring this Licence Agreement to an end by writing to us giving us not less than two months’ notice. However if we have broken our obligations to you under this Licence Agreement and if as the result you are entitled to end this Licence Agreement you may give us a lesser period of notice but should still give us as much notice as possible.

13. The consequences of termination of the Licence Agreement

13.1 You will arrange with us for the removal of the Caravan and all other property of yours from the Park within one month after      termination of this Licence Agreement however that comes about. In accordance with clause 4.11 above any work in de-siting or removing the Caravan must be done by us or through our contractors for which you agree to pay us our reasonable costs. Payment of our costs in the movement or de-siting of the Caravan will not be sought if we are proven to be in serious breach of our obligations under this      Agreement.

13.2 If following termination of the Licence Agreement you fail to arrange the removal of the Caravan through us, we are entitled to remove it ourselves after giving you not less than 14 days’ notice in writing of our intention to do so. If an Independent Surveyor confirms to us that the Caravan is not capable of selling for a sum sufficient to cover the costs of removal and sale, then you authorise us to dispose of the Caravan as we see fit and you will repay to us the costs we incur (acting reasonably) in removal and disposal of the Caravan.

13.3 Where you have terminated the Licence Agreement, we will repay to you at least on the scale set out below any Pitch Fees (excluding rates) and other charges which you have paid us for a   period after the Licence Agreement has ended, less any sums properly due to us. Where the number of months since the payment date to the end of the month of termination is:

Months since due payment date Percentage refund due

Up to the end of May 80%
Up to the end of June 60%
Up to the end of July 40%
Up to the end of August 20%
After 31^st August each year No refund

The scale of percentage refund payments set out above does not prejudice any further action you take against us if we are proven to be in breach of our obligations under this Agreement.

13.4. Where we end the Licence Agreement, we will repay to you on the same scale set out in the table 13.3 above.

13.5 We have the right to retain the Caravan until you have paid any undisputed sum due to us on termination of this Agreement.

14.2 Any changes made after the signing of this Licence Agreement will not affect anything to which you are entitled under this Licence Agreement.
