General Terms and Conditions

General conditions for work on motor vehicles and their components

The subject of these General Terms and Conditions for the performance of work on motor vehicles and their components (hereinafter referred to as the “GTC”) is the regulation of the basic business relations between the company AutoservisHaus.cz s.r.o. with registered office at Vančurova 1297, 36301 Ostrov (hereinafter referred to as the “Supplier”) and the Contracting Authority (hereinafter referred to as the “Customer”). The Customer accepts and acknowledges the following GI as binding for all performances to be carried out within the scope of work on motor vehicles, trailers, aggregates and their components, which is confirmed by signing the order sheet referring to these GI.

I. Order

1. The agreement for the repair or maintenance of motor vehicles and their components (hereinafter also referred to as the “Work Agreement” and the “Order”) is binding from the moment the customer signs the Order Form, which refers to these GTC posted in the supplier’s premises and on the website. The Customer may request these GTC from the Supplier.

2. The scope of work and, if applicable, the required completion date must be stated in the order form.

3. In cases that cannot be postponed, the agreement on the execution of the work/contract and the extension of the scope of work may also be agreed orally. The contractor shall make a record of the oral award on the contract sheet. These GTCs also apply to such cases of contract recording.

4. The works agreement authorises the contractor to award subcontracts to its subcontractors, to carry out test runs and to transport the vehicle to which the work relates.

II. Pricing data on the order sheet, contract extension, repair and maintenance cost budget

1. The supplier shall indicate in the order sheet the preliminary price of the repair, if any. the contractual price that can be foreseen in the future in connection with the execution of the contract. Prices may also be indicated in the order sheet by reference to the corresponding items in available catalogues of prices for spare parts and work. The Customer acknowledges and understands that the prices quoted in the order form are not final and are only approximate. If the preliminary total price is not quoted before the customer signs the order form, a telephone consultation is arranged with the customer after the prices of spare parts have been obtained from the supplier.

2. The execution of work beyond the agreed order requires the prior consent of the customer. In most cases, consent will be by telephone.

3. If the customer requests binding price data when placing the order, the supplier shall prepare a budget of the repair or maintenance costs after disassembling the affected part of the vehicle. In the repair or maintenance cost budget, the contractor shall list the work and spare parts with the appropriate price indication. The Supplier shall be bound by this budget for a period of three weeks from its issue. The disassembly of the affected part of the car, if the customer does not accept the submitted budget, is charged according to the rate of mechanical work specified in the currently valid price list.

III. Contract completion date

The contractor is obliged to meet the completion date indicated in the order sheet. If the scope of the work changes or expands from the original order and as a result the original completion date cannot be met, the Supplier shall notify the Customer and agree a new completion date and extend the order to include the extra work.

IV. Handover and acceptance of the contract
