PREAMBLE

This Complaints Procedure (hereinafter referred to as the "RP") regulates the procedure for filing a complaint about the services provided by the Service Provider (hereinafter referred to as the "Complaint Procedure") between the Service Provider, RUMAPEX s.r.o., (hereinafter referred to as the "Lessor") and the End Customer – a consumer, who is a natural person who, when concluding and performing a consumer contract, does not act within the scope of his/her business or other business activity (hereinafter referred to as the "Lessee").

The RP regulates the complaint procedure in particular in accordance with Section 18 (1) of Act No. 250/2007 on Consumer Protection, Act No. 40/1964 Coll., the Civil Code (all the above-mentioned acts, as amended), as well as other generally binding legal regulations of the Slovak Republic.

RP applies to all the services of the landlord provided by the tenant.

For the purposes of RP, a complaint means the application of liability for service defects and the settlement of the complaint and the subsequent termination of the complaint procedure.

Article 1

Prevention

1.1      Before renting, it is necessary to read the general terms and conditions (hereinafter referred to as the "GTC") of the lessor.

1.2      By concluding a contract for the provision of services, the Lessee agrees with the Complaints Procedure and confirms that he has been acquainted with its contents.

1.3          When taking over the vehicle from the person authorized by the lessor, it is necessary to thoroughly inspect the vehicle and make sure that any damage found on the vehicle is recorded in the vehicle's acceptance report.

1.4 When taking over a vehicle from a person authorized by the lessor, it is necessary to carefully read the vehicle information provided in the vehicle registration certificate and in the vehicle manual. 1.5             If the lessee was involved in a traffic accident, he is obliged to submit to the lessor a completed accident report, signed by all participants in the accident. If the tenant was not at fault for the accident and does not have an accident report, the landlord has the right to claim damages and lost profits from the tenant.

1.6     If the vehicle was damaged during the rental as part of one insurance claim, but the vehicle is damaged from two or more sides, it is necessary for the renter to document the accident site photographically. The photographs are then provided to the landlord to prove that the damage occurred during one insured event, otherwise the landlord has the right to claim compensation for each damage separately. 

1.7        Crediting the funds to the tenant's account after canceling the deposit can take up to 7 working days, depending on the time required by the processes in the tenant's bank. If no facts were found during the inspection of the vehicle for which the deposit should be held, the cancellation of the deposit is carried out by the lessor's employee immediately after taking over the vehicle from the lessee via the POS terminal. In case of an uncredited deposit back to the tenant's account, we recommend contacting the bank that issued the payment card to the tenant.
