[A1]Will we have such access? [SD2]We might have in the future, so it is better to have it included. For example we can offer yearly subscription for 10eur, where customer can register other electronics he buys and have them all managed from one interface. [A3]Shouldn’t we have 30 days? [SD4]Yes, but there is a possibility, that customers will abuse our system and we will have high rates of returns within 30 days. For such cases, we will be able to charge him short term rentals fees, if we choose to. [A5]So the price includes 2 parts? [SD6]Legally yes. He must pay for the services and the deposit. But we will use his deposit to pay for the supplied services, so he makes only one payment, but from that one big payment we deduct many small payments regularly = every year 0.02eur [A7]Not 30 days? [SD8]This is a legal term for Slovakia, each country is different and we must comply with local laws about the 100% money back guarantee according to the law. If we don’t say that, then customers in slovakia are able to return the item and get full money back within 90days. [A9]2 working days count from which date? [SD10]From the time he made his claim and paid a deposit for the replacement or from the time he returned his item. = Customer calls you he has faulty iPhone. There are generally two ways how to exchange the phone for him. 1) we send him a new phone and in let’s say 10days he must return his broken phone. For that we must get a security deposit, as he will have two phones with him. When he returns the broken phone, then we send him back the second deposit. 2) he returns us the faulty phone and we send him a new one, no second deposit is needed [A11]All customers should have accounts [SD12]All customers must have an account. It is created automatically when he makes order [A13]Can we do that? [SD14]It is a legal requirement. You can visit the website only if you agree to their terms. Once you don’t agree, you shouldn’t use their services and products. This is generally used legal term against hackers, etc. [A15]Review should be visible to the public after company confirmation [SD16]Yes, when a customer makes a review on our website, you must aprove it before it is visible to the public

I don’t know how to add comments in to the text, so I will put me feedback here:
sd@turbado 13:17 on March 30, 2014 Permalink | Log in to Reply
1) my idea is, that before the text of the general conditions, we would include:
CONTACT DETAILS: local turbado’s contact details and company details. and in the contract we can add at one point that the local representative/agent is the local turbado company, but acts only as an agent, doesn’t have any contractual responsibilities towards the client, only towards Turbado EU LLC (separate contract)
2.4) there is only one contract. the short term rental, for the moment, is included as protection against possible over abuse of our system, then we can charge the malicious customers a fee for short term rentals, if we choose to.
2.4) I agree with you, I changed it now to: The deposit amount is determined in the offer at Turbado.eu web shop. The basic contract contains the following services as benefits:
2.4.2) this is defined by the local laws in each country. The law says, in general, that the seller must accept all returns, and pay full money back, no questions asked. In case the item is damaged, we can ask the customer for compensation, but we must give him money back first. This is the law in Slovakia, please check specific terms in your country
2.4.5) I added the word contracted: refunding the price of contracted goods; this is to say, that he must return the product, not the service we provide. the contract will be still alive for the product, as someone else will use that product. customer will get money back for returning the product itself, not for terminating the service contract.
2.4.5) good point. I changed it to: The goods or products are delivered to the recipient’s address using a courier service, if no other form of transport is agreed, in general on the next working day from the date of expedition.; Orders are processed for expedition within next business day after payment receipt of confirmation of expedition.
2.4.5.) good point, I changed it to: lifetime guarantee of a refund of part of the deposit after returning the product based on conditions determined in advance, guaranteed repair or replacement with the same or similar model within two working days after receipt of the faulty product, conditions apply
2.11) the actual contract stands from several parts: first is our offer displayed on turbado web shop, second are these general business conditions GBS and third is a customer’s acceptance of offer + GBS and the receipt of order from him. Signed on distance = that’s why there is a 14-30 days 100% money back guarantee. GBS is just a part of the contract, not the whole contract.
3.1.2.1.) now we only have standalone registration form. all websites of Turbado, that are not yet operational, accept registrations and we will let know the interested customers once we are functional in their countries. there is a contract for using our website and agreeing with its terms. so when a customer registers, he accepts the general conditions. and a service contract is signed by the customer, when he makes an order on our website and agrees to it (doesn’t return the product in 14-30days). It might be off-putting, but all websites have general conditions and you must agree to those conditions = get into a contract about using the website, to actually be able to use the website in full. it is a general legal requirement common to all websites

Stefan, please help me interpret these:
8.3.”” If the invoiced part of the price does not reach the provider’s bank account (???) by the twentieth (20th) day from date of issue of an invoice and if the amount of deposit paid is insufficient, the contract on the provision of paid services becomes invalid and ineffective and the provider ceases providing the paid services to the recipient and temporary access by the recipient to the paid services will be cancelled””
9.6. “The recipient of services undertakes to backup their data” (we should declare how)
11.5 “as a vexatious execution of rights by the recipient,” what is this?
12.2.d.”for the fact that they are suitable for the recipient’s intended purpose” what purpose is this?
f. “in case of email communication, information included in emails is not secure (encoded).” what’s the point?
13.19 “For services, there is a 14-day guarantee period and if a claim is not made within this period, the guarantee period ends. ” – I don’t understand the function of this.

8.3) it means that in case your deposit is insufficient to cover the yearly rental, or that the customer doesn’t pay at all the deposit, then the contract becomes invalid = as if it never existed
9.6) there are many ways how to backup, we can provide examples, I agree. for that you can write a blog how and where to backup 🙂 go ahead
11.5) it means that our company becomes a victim to a user’s malicious actions
12.2 d) each user has his own idea what the website does. we are not responsible if the user of the website interprets our web, services, any content in the wrong way
12.2 f) email communication, by its nature is not secure = anyone can access it, read it, modify it on the way. we are not responsible for any changes of the content of the email if any modification has been made after we sent it
13.20 (13.19 is a different point): From legal point of view = what the law says, is there is a 24 months manufacturer’s warranty for physical products and goods, but only a 14 days provider’s warranty for services. So if you get a haircut, you only have 14 days to make a claim. Same goes with any services provided, but we extend that period to 24 months at Turbado

I have changed these points:
2.4.5.) added the word MINIMAL amount of 0.02eur
and this sentence: The cost of deterioration and aging of goods provided will be invoiced according to conditions above once the product is returned and inspected by the Provider of Service
6.2.4) added: the Price List, usually a fixed amount of €0.02 per annum and a fee for deterioration and aging of goods provides once returned and inspected by lessor

2.4.5) removed the word MINIMAL = it is not a legal term, as it must be a fixed amount.
and I added in the next sentence the words: and the invoiced amount will be deducted from the deposit paid.
