If the deposit is not paid by the tenant, the landlord is not obligated to allow the tenant to undertake any rides. The decision on the deposit is at the landlord's sole discretion, particularly considering the history or payment morality of the individual tenant. If the customer has a flawless payment record, the deposit will be refundable three months after it has been made. The deposit does not accrue interest. The landlord is authorized to offset any claims arising from the tenant according to the lease agreement or in connection with it, against the deposited security deposit and to settle these claims from this deposit.

The registration is only valid if the lessee has filled in the correct details. The Lessee is obliged to fill in a functional and true e-mail address and telephone number during registration and to keep them up to date (i.e. in case of a change, the Lessee is obliged to update the data in the mobile application without undue delay). The e-mail address and telephone number serve as the primary communication channels between the Lessee and the Lessor. Completed registration is conditioned by stating the identity of the tenant, including a scan of a valid ID card and driver's license, and at the same time by depositing a valid payment card such as Visa or MasterCard, through which the rental is paid after its termination. When adding a payment card, the amount of CZK 1 is deducted to verify the validity of the card, which is immediately returned. Payment card details are not processed in any way by the Lessor. The data is securely stored at the bank providing the payment gateway: ČSOB, as, IČ: 00001350. If the withdrawal of the amount of CZK 1 cannot be carried out, it is not possible to use the application functions, especially car reservations. If the entire registration is successfully completed, reservations can be made at any time. When booking, a calendar is used that displays the currently available cars for the selected period, including their location and approximate rental price. By pressing the book button, the car is reserved and the NS is automatically closed, which is valid for the entire reservation period. The price for the loan is listed in the price list on the website www.godrive.cz.
The lessor is entitled to require a refundable deposit of CZK 3,000 from each new lessee, which will be unilaterally charged to the lessee's credit card on the first ride. On the basis of an individual assessment of the riskiness of the tenant, the landlord is entitled to increase the deposit up to CZK 10,000.00, and the tenant will always be informed of this increase in advance. The security deposit shall be used to pay any claims of the lessor against the lessee arising from the lease agreement, including but not limited to rent, contractual penalties, damages and other financial obligations. In the event that the Lessee fails to pay the required security deposit, the Lessor shall not be obliged to allow the Lessee to drive.
The decision on the amount of the security deposit is entirely within the lessor's discretion, taking into account in particular the payment record and the history of use of the service by the lessee. If the lessee has a problem-free payment history, the security deposit is refundable after three months from the date of deposit. The security deposit shall be refundable within 15 days of receipt of the tenant's request for its return, by wire transfer to the tenant's bank account. The lessor is entitled to require the lessee to prove his identity and verify the ownership of the bank account to which the deposit is to be returned. The security deposit is not subject to interest.
The lessor is entitled to unilaterally set off its claims against the deposit, especially claims arising in connection with unpaid rent, fines or damages caused by the lessee. The unused part of the security deposit that has not been used to pay claims is refundable within 15 days of receipt of the tenant's request for its return, by wire transfer to the tenant's bank account. The lessor is entitled to require the lessee to prove his identity and verify the ownership of the bank account to which the security deposit is to be returned.
1.2. In the event that the Lessee reserves a vehicle with the lessor, but does not pick up the vehicle in accordance with the Reservation or NS, or cancels the reservation later than 60 minutes before the start of the reservation, he is obliged to pay the Lessor a contractual penalty of up to CZK 200 depending on the number of reserved hours. The minimum cancellation amount is therefore the current hourly rate for the loan. Cancellation more than one hour before the start of the reservation is free of charge.
A contractual penalty is an amount agreed by the parties in the event of a breach of a specific contractual obligation (hereinafter referred to as the "contractual penalty").

To this amount shall be added a lump sum compensation for the costs of damage to the vehicle ("lump sum compensation") up to a maximum of CZK 10,000. In the case of total damage, the deductible is increased to CZK 25,000.
In the event of an accident involving another road user, the Lessee is obliged to draw up an accident report with the other party, which is available in the vehicle. Failure to make a record may result in a contractual penalty of CZK 2,000 and a possible obligation on the part of the hirer to pay the difference between the full and the incomplete insurance benefit if the insurance company refuses to pay the full amount of the damage due to the lack of an accident record.
Lump sum compensation is a fixed amount charged to the Lessee over and above the Lessee's deductible and is intended to cover the costs associated with the administrative and operational handling of the claim. This compensation is applied up to CZK 10,000 and includes in particular:
-
administrative costs associated with the settlement of the claim, including communication with the insurance company and documentation,
-
costs of assessing the technical condition of the vehicle and quantifying the damage,
-
costs related to the reduction of the operability of the vehicle, including lost profits and any compensation to customers,
-
any other operating costs, such as towing charges or the cost of providing a replacement vehicle.

1.6. The Lessee is obliged to reimburse the Lessor for any damage to the vehicle up to the amount of the Lessor's deductible on the insurance claim, if the insurance company provides such insurance claim.

This block is cancelled after the booking is completed, or the amount actually spent is deducted from the blocked amount and the remaining amount is refunded.

During this period, the Lessee shall have the option of paying the amount due by topping up the credit card or by transferring the amount to the Lessor's account, which may be requested by email or telephone.
