This difference in funds will be refunded to the Sub-lessee's payment card used to pay the Remuneration or to the bank account reported by the Lessee. The Lessee reserves the right to not refund funds to the Sub-lessee per the previous sentence.
5.3.2 Every commenced day is used as a day in the case of fees and other payments to which the Lessee is entitled for every day of use of the Rental Vehicle (daily rate), etc. The categories to which the Subjects of the Contract belong (H, K, M, P, S) change for some Subjects of the Contract depending on whether the lease or operating lease lasts, even if only partially, during the summer season, i.e. during the months of May, June, July , August, September (from 1 May to 30 September) and/or whether it lasts, even if only partially, outside the summer season, i.e. during the months of October, November, December, January, February, March, and April (from 1 October to 31 April). The categories to which the Subjects of the Contract belong, during the summer season and outside the summer season, are listed in the “Price list of daily rent”, which is divided into two parts according to these seasons. The categories of Subjects of the Contract also change during the term of the lease or during the term of the operating lease (if the lease or operating lease lasts during the summer season and outside the summer season and vice versa), thereby changing to the category of Subjects of Vehicles with relation to Fees, charges, sanctions, etc. For clarification, it is not the classification of the Subject of the Contract into the category on the first day of the lease or operating lease that is decisive, but the classification into the category on the given day of the term of the lease or operating lease. The method of calculating the final amount of the Fee based on the coefficients depending on the occupancy of the Subjects of the Contract in the relevant category specified in the following sentences of this clause of the GTC (General Terms and Conditions) does not apply to the Subjects of Contract Objects that belong to category “P”. The resulting amount of Remuneration for the rental or operating lease of the Rental Vehicle for the selected Rental Vehicle is defined as a multiple of the rental price or operating lease price for the Rental Vehicle per the Tariff and the corresponding coefficient based on usage of the Rental Vehicle at the selected time. The coefficient is 1 if the Lessee generally offers only one (1) Rental Vehicle in the selected Rental Vehicle category. If the Lessee generally offers two (2) Rental Vehicles in the selected Rental Vehicle category, the first in such category is assigned a coefficient of 0.75 on the Rental Vehicle Reservation and the second in such category is assigned a coefficient of 1.25 on the Rental Vehicle Reservation. If the Lessee generally offers three (3) Rental Vehicles in the selected Rental Vehicle category, the first in such category is assigned a coefficient of 0.75 on the Rental Vehicle Reservation, the second in such category is assigned a coefficient of 1 on the Rental Vehicle Reservation and the third in such category is assigned a coefficient of 1.25 on the Rental Vehicle Reservation. If the Lessee generally offers four (4) Rental Vehicles in the selected Rental Vehicle category, the first in such category is assigned a coefficient of 0.75 on the Rental Vehicle Reservation, the second and third in such category are assigned a coefficient of 1 on the Rental Vehicle Reservation and the fourth in such category is assigned a coefficient of 1.25 on the Rental Vehicle Reservation. If the Lessee generally offers five (4) Rental Vehicles in the selected Rental Vehicle category, the first in such category is assigned a coefficient of 0.75 on the Rental Vehicle Reservation, the second in such category is assigned a coefficient of 1 on the Rental Vehicle Reservation and the third, fourth and fifth in such category is assigned a coefficient of 1.25 on the Rental Vehicle Reservation. The coefficients per the previous sentence apply in kind to Rental Vehicles categories in which the Lessee generally offers six (6) and more Rental Vehicles in the selected Rental Vehicle category and therefore the first in such category is assigned a coefficient of 0.75 on the Rental Vehicle Reservation, the last, second-to-last, and third-to-last in such category (with a balance of 3 and fewer Rental Vehicles in the given Rental Vehicle Category) are assigned a coefficient of 1.25 on the Rental Vehicle Reservation, and a coefficient of 1 is used for all vehicles from this Rental Vehicle category in a different order on the Rental Vehicle Reservation.
5.3.3 Every Remuneration is an amount in the Euro currency and inclusive of VAT, unless it is stated that it is an amount without VAT, while the VAT rate is determined by generally binding legislation valid in Slovakia and will be specified separately in the Lessee’s tax record.

Each preparation and subsequent sending of the reminder to the Sub-lessee is subject to a fee per the Tariff if the Sub-lessee is a legal entity. The Lessee’s entitlement to the fee per the previous sentence is not established in the case of a Consumer Contract.

12.7.1 In the event that a legal relationship has arisen between the Lessee and the Sub-lessee from a Consumer Contract or related to a Consumer Contract, the parties may use alternative dispute resolution in the event of a dispute (hereinafter as “ADR”). This has no prejudice on the ability to seek redress through the courts.
12.7.2 If the Consumer is not satisfied with the manner in which the Lessee resolved its claim or believes that the Lessee has violated their rights, the Consumer has the right to contact the Lessee with a request for redress. If the Lessee rejects the Consumer’s request per the previous sentence or does not respond to such request within 30 days of the date of it being sent by the Consumer, the Consumer has the right to file a petition to commence ADR pursuant to the provisions of §12 et seq. of Act No. 391/2015 Coll. on Alternative Resolution of Consumer Disputes and on amendment of certain acts (hereinafter as “Act on Alternative Resolution of Consumer Disputes”). An ADR entity may request payment of a fee from the Sub-lessee who is a Consumer to commence such alternative dispute resolution up to a maximum of EUR 5 (five Euros) inclusive of VAT. The Consumer may file such petition in paper form, in electronic form, or verbally written into the record, or use the form available on the website of every ADR entity (e.g. SOI, Spoločnosť ochrany spotrebiteľov (S.O.S) Poprad, and the like). All documents related to the given dispute and that function as evidence of the circumstances described in the petition must be attached to the petition.
12.7.3 The Consumer has the right to select an ADR entity. The current list of ADR entities and more information on alternative resolution of consumer disputes, in particular ADR options and conditions, are provided on the website of the Ministry of Economy of the Slovak Republic at: https://www.mhsr.sk/obchod/ochrana-spotrebitela/alternativne-riesenie-spotrebitelskych-sporov-1
12.7.4 A Consumer may also choose to select an online dispute resolution platform to resolve a dispute available at: https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/odr/main/index.cfm?event=main.home.chooseLanguage
12.7.5 ADR commences at the petition of the Consumer filed with an ADR entity. ADR must be completed within 90 calendar days from its commencement. This period may be extended by an additional 30 calendar days, including repeatedly, in the case of particularly complex disputes. ADR ends
- by concluding an agreement between the parties to the dispute (voluntary),
- upon the issuing of a reasoned opinion,
- by postponing the petition (i.e. the consumer declares their intent terminate their participation in the alternative dispute resolution),
- upon the death or declaration of death in the case of a party to the dispute who is a natural person,
- upon the winding up without a legal successor of a party to the dispute who is a legal entity,
- upon deletion of an authorised legal entity from the ADR list.
12.8 The Lessee does not guarantee non-stop, i.e. uninterrupted access to the Portal or the security and flawless operation of the Portal. The operator is not liable for any damage resulting from the use and making access to the Portal, including potential damage resulting from downloading data and other materials published on the Portal, for damage caused by operational outages, malfunction of the Portal, computer viruses, or damage resulting from the loss of data.
12.9 If any provisions of the Contract or hereof, or of any other contract, become invalid or unenforceable, such fact has no prejudice towards the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of the Contract or hereof, or of any other contract. The parties in such case commit to replace the invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid and enforceable provisions that as closely as possible approximate the legal significance and effect as the provision to be replaced.
12.10 All contracts concluded in writing between the Lessee and the Sub-lessee may only be amended in the form of written addenda, whereby such addenda must be signed by both the parties.
12.11 The Sub-lessee hereby agrees that the Lessee is authorised to assign its receivables, rights and obligations hereunder, and under the Contract to a third party. The assignment of receivables, rights and obligations takes effect upon the conclusion of a written contract between the Lessee and a third party. The Lessee commits to notify the Sub-lessee in writing of the assignment of any such receivables, rights and obligations.
The T&C enter into force and effect on the date of their publication on the Lessee’s Portal (www.auto-prestige.sk) at: „https://www.auto-prestige.sk/vseobecne-obchodne-podmienky/“, i.e. on 19 June 2026.
