Basis of Service

No variation to this Agreement shall be binding unless agreed in writing between the authorised representatives of the Customer and Hon Car Service.
When using either the Hon Car Service website or calling Hon Car Service by phone to make a booking you represent that you are at least 18 years of age, and if you live in another state or country, you are of the age necessary to enter into contracts according to the laws of your home state or country.
Sales literature, price lists and other documents issued by Hon Car Service in relation to the Services are subject to alteration without notice and do not constitute offers to sell the Services which are capable of acceptance.
An booking made by the Customer may not be withdrawn cancelled or altered prior to acceptance by Hon Car Service and no contract for the sale of the Services shall be binding on Hon Car Service unless Hon Car Service has issued a quotation which is expressed to be an offer to sell the Services or has accepted an order placed by the Customer by whichever is the earlier of:
- Hon Car Service`s written acceptance;
- performance of the Services;
- or Hon Car Service`s invoice.
Any typographical, clerical or other accidental errors or omissions in any sales literature, quotation, price list, acceptance of offer, invoice or other document or information issued by Hon Car Service shall be subject to correction without any liability on the part of Hon Car Service.

Booking process and conclusion of contract

The customer can select services from the Hon Car Service's range in a so-called booking form by clicking the "Book Now" button.
By clicking the "Book Now" button, the customer makes a binding offer to purchase the services. Before pressing the button "Book Now" button, the customer can change and view the data in the booking form at any time or cancel the booking process altogether.
After pressing the button "Pay Now", Hon Car Service shall send the customer an automatic booking confirmation by e-mail or SMS, in which the customer's booking is listed again. The customer can print this booking confirmation via the "Print" function. The booking confirmation does not constitute an acceptance of the customer's booking, but only confirms that Hon Car Service has received the customer's booking.
A valid contract between Hon Car Service and the customer is only concluded upon the transmission of an booking confirmation to the customer. In the period between the submission of a binding offer until the receipt of the booking confirmation, but for a maximum period of 72 hours, the customer remains bound to his offer. Hon Car Service will declare within this period whether the customer's offer is accepted.

Hon Car Service's right of withdrawal

The customer agrees that Hon Car Service may withdraw from the contract without being obliged to compensate any damages, in particular in the following cases. Hon Car Service may exercise the right of withdrawal informally during the collection of the vehicle, or before the collection of the vehicle by means of a written declaration (e-mail or SMS is sufficient):
- in the opinion of Hon Car Service, the vehicle subject to the contract is too badly damaged or not suitable for the agreed service to be carried out as agreed;
- in the opinion of Hon Car Service, the vehicle subject to the contract does not meet the safety or other requirements that can usually be expected of a vehicle registered for road traffic;
- in Hon Car Service's opinion, there are indications that the customer is not the owner of the vehicle or a person authorised or entitled to dispose of the vehicle by the owner;
- Hon Car Service believes that there are other indications that the vehicle is connected to a criminal offence;
- in the opinion of Hon Car Service, there are important reasons why the proper fulfilment of the service and/or the processing and execution of the contract cannot be expected.
In the event of withdrawal, Hon Car Service will reimburse the customer 100% of any payments already made, minus any expenses incurred by Hon Car Service.

Prices and service costs

All prices and service costs stated on the Seller's website are inclusive of the applicable statutory value added tax.
Hon Car Service reserves the right, by giving notice to the Customer at any time before delivery, to increase the price of the Services to reflect any increase in the cost to Hon Car Service which is due to any factor beyond the control of Hon Car Service (such as, without limitation, any foreign exchange fluctuation currency regulation, alteration of duties, significant increase in the costs of labour, materials or other costs of transportation), any change in performance dates, quantities or specifications for the Services which are requested by the Customer, or any delay caused by any instructions of the Customer or failure of the Customer to give Hon Car Service adequate information or instructions.
The price is exclusive of any applicable value added tax excise, sales or taxes or levies of a similar nature which are imposed or charged by any competent fiscal authority in respect of the Services, which the Customer shall be additionally liable to pay to Hon Car Service.

General information on the provision of services, service descriptions

All service descriptions in catalogues as well as on the website of Hon Car Service do not have the character of an assurance or guarantee. All contracts concluded between Hon Car Service and the customer are service contracts.
If the service is not provided or fails due to the fault of the client or due to reasons within the client's influence (e.g., no-show on collection), Hon Car Service may withdraw from the contract without granting a grace period. In this case Hon Car Service is entitled to demand 50% of the agreed fee from the client.
Hon Car Service is entitled to hire a subcontractor (Mechanic, service station) to provide the service on behalf of the customer. If the provision of the agreed service is not possible for reasons for which the subcontractor is responsible (delivery problems, etc.), Hon Car Service may withdraw from the contract without compensation. In this case, Hon Car Service will inform the client immediately and, if necessary, propose the provision of a comparable service. If no comparable service is available or if the customer does not wish a comparable service, Hon Car Service will - if possible - commission another subcontractor with the service on behalf of the customer or withdraw from the contract.

Collection of the vehicle

The collection of the vehicle from the customer will take place within the timeframe agreed between the customer and Hon Car Service. Hon Car Service will endeavour to comply with the agreed time periods. Hon Car Service will inform the customer of any delay that occurs. If the customer fails to appear at the time of collection of the motor vehicle, Hon Car Service will refund the customer 100% in the event of withdrawal, less any payments already made by Hon Car Service to the subcontractor and any expenses already incurred by Hon Car Service.
The customer agrees to remove all valuables that are not permanently attached to the vehicle from the vehicle prior to Hon Car Service taking possession of the vehicle. Hon Car Service is not liable for the loss of valuables left in the vehicle by the client.
The customer undertakes to hand over the registration certificate to Hon Car Service when handing over the vehicle. In case of a police check, Hon Car Service shall be in possession of all necessary vehicle documents. If Hon Car Service suffers damage due to incomplete vehicle documents, defective or missing equipment of the vehicle or if the vehicle is not in a roadworthy condition, Hon Car Service will charge this damage to the customer.
Hon Car Service will make a picture documentation (photo or video) of the vehicle to be taken over in the course of the collection of the vehicle. This measure is necessary in order to exclude misunderstandings with regard to any existing damage to the vehicle to be taken over and thus corresponds to a legal interest of Hon Car Service. For this purpose. Hon Car Service will store these images until the statute of limitations for threatened claims for damages and warranty claims has expired. The customer declares his express consent to this procedure. The customer confirms that he/she has received the information required by the GDPR or agrees to receive this information upon collection of the vehicle.
A handover protocol will be drawn up between Hon Car Service and the customer upon collection of the vehicle or online, which will identify any damage to the vehicle. The customer is obliged to actively point out any damage to the vehicle and not to conceal any damage or defect to the vehicle from Hon Car Service, in particular those that impair its functionality. The damage recorded in the handover protocol shall be deemed to have been objectified between the parties. However, the customer may not subsequently invoke a conclusive character of the defects recorded in the handover report. The handover report shall also record those areas which cannot be conclusively examined for any damage due to, for example, dirt on the vehicle.

Return of the vehicle

The customer and Hon Car Service agree on a period of time within which the vehicle is to be returned. However, the customer acknowledges that the exact duration of the work to be carried out by the subcontractor or the services to be performed by Hon Car Service itself cannot be agreed upon or predicted with sufficient certainty in all cases, and that unforeseeable delays may also occur in inner-city traffic.
Hon Car Service will endeavour to meet agreed dates for the return of the vehicle. However, if unforeseen circumstances arise that make it impossible to meet the deadlines, Hon Car Service will provide the customer with a new date for the service/restitution. Hon Car Service will inform the customer in due time about the expected date of the actual return of the vehicle and about delays by e-mail, SMS or telephone. The customer declares to waive claims for compensation, unless the delay is due to grossly culpable or intentional behaviour on the part of Hon Car Service. The amount of the claim for compensation is limited to the amount of the fee agreed for the service.
The customer is generally obliged to be personally present at the return of the vehicle on the agreed date of handover or on the date specified.
Hon Car Service and the customer shall also sign a handover protocol upon return of the vehicle. Upon return of the vehicle, the customer must inspect the vehicle and immediately report any damage or defects in the service provided. Later complaints cannot be considered.
Hon Car Service will take pictures of the vehicle when it is returned in order to avoid any misunderstandings regarding possible damage to the vehicle. Hon Car Service will store these images until the statute of limitations for potential claims for damages and warranty claims has expired.
Should the customer so desire, Hon Car Service will park the vehicle at a location specified by the customer and deposit the keys at a location specified by the customer at the customer's risk and expense. The customer acknowledges and agrees that Hon Car Service will also create a photo documentation of the vehicle in this case in order to exclude any misunderstandings regarding possible damages to the vehicle. Hon Car Service will store these images until the statute of limitations for potential claims for damages and warranty claims has expired. A handover protocol is not required in this case. However, the customer is obliged to notify Hon Car Service of any damage or defects in the service provided to the vehicle within three working days.

Pick-up & delivery service

Hon Car Service offers a pick-up and delivery service to take the customer's vehicle to a Mechanic and then return it to the customer. The customer remains completely in control over the selection of the desired Mechanic and its commissioning. The date, type and scope of the service and any deviations / additions to the originally agreed service of the Mechanic that subsequently emerge are agreed exclusively directly between the customer and the Mechanic.
If the Customer has ordered Additional Services, the Customer waives the defence against Hon Car Service that a specific service of the Mechanic was not agreed upon as well as the defence that a specific service of the Mechanic was not properly performed or that an excessive amount was charged by the Mechanic.

Payment modalities, offsetting prohibition

The customer may choose from the available payment methods within the framework of and before the conclusion of the booking process.
Hon Car Service is not liable for non-execution, incorrect execution or late execution of payment transactions. If the customer's account is debited in the course of a payment via an online payment method, but the amount is not received by Hon Car Service, or if other irregularities occur in the course of an online payment, Hon Car Service will refer the customer to the payment service provider selected by the customer during the payment process or to the customer's bank. A payment shall not be deemed to discharge a debt until the amount instructed by the customer is received in Hon Car Service's account.
If online payment is not possible, the customer has the option to pay in cash or by card after the service has been provided.
If third-party providers are commissioned with payment processing their terms and conditions apply in addition to the present terms and conditions.
The customer is only entitled to set-off if his counterclaims have been legally established or acknowledged by Hon Car Service. Cash expenses incurred by Hon Car Service on behalf of the client are in any case excluded from set-off. The customer may only exercise a right of retention if the claims result from the same contractual relationship.

Customer's Default

- cancel the order or suspend any further performance of Services to the Customer;
