1.2 Where the vehicle belongs to a private owner or another owner who offers it through the WeDriver platform, the Lessor is the vehicle owner named in the booking confirmation no. ………………………. In that case WeDriver acts as an intermediary: it operates the platform, verifies the driver, receives the payment and deposit on behalf of the owner, keeps the handover report and pays the owner its share. WeDriver is then not a party to the rental and is liable for the condition and availability of the vehicle only to the extent provided in the general terms and conditions and by law. The rights and obligations of the Lessor under this agreement then apply to the owner.

1.3 Lessee: ………………………, date of birth: ………………………, driving licence no.: ………………………, e-mail: ………………………, tel.: ……………………… (the “Lessee”).

1.4 The driver is the Lessee and, where applicable, another person entered in the agreement or in the handover report with the Lessor’s consent (the “Driver”).

2. Subject matter

2.1 The Lessor lets to the Lessee for temporary use a motor vehicle without a driver: ………………………, registration plate: ………………………, VIN: ……………………… (the “Vehicle”), together with the documents, keys and equipment listed in the handover report. The Lessee undertakes to pay the rent and the other amounts due under this agreement.

2.2 The Vehicle is intended for the carriage of persons and luggage on roads. The Lessee acquires only the right to use the Vehicle, not ownership or any other right in rem.

3.1 The rental is agreed for a fixed period from ……………………… to ………………………, ……………………… days in total.

3.2 Place of pick-up: ………………………. Place of return: ……………………….

4.2 The rental price is paid in advance by payment card through a secure payment gateway. The Lessor does not process or store card data. Business customers with an approved framework agreement may be invoiced with the agreed payment term.

4.3 Fees and charges that are not part of the rental price (e.g. excess kilometres, refuelling, cleaning, administrative fees) are charged under the current price list published on the website or at the amount of the costs actually incurred, and may be deducted from the deposit.

4.4 The invoice (tax document) is issued electronically and is available in the Lessee’s account and by e-mail.

5. Deposit

5.2 The deposit is provided by blocking the amount on the Lessee’s payment card, no later than at pick-up of the Vehicle. If the deposit is not blocked, the Vehicle will not be handed over and this is treated as cancellation of the booking by the Lessee under Article 15.

5.3 The Lessor may retain from the deposit or charge the Lessee the costs actually incurred, in particular damage to the Vehicle, the excess, kilometres over the limit, fees under the price list and fines. If a claim exceeds the deposit, the Lessee shall pay the difference within 14 days of the settlement statement.

5.4 If the Lessor has no claims against the Lessee after the Vehicle is returned, it shall release the block without undue delay. Crediting of funds and release periods depend on the card issuer’s bank.

5.5 Where the Lessor is the vehicle owner, the amount of the deposit may be set by the owner, and damage exceeding the deposit is dealt with according to the booking confirmation and the owner’s insurance.

6. Mileage limit, fuel and charging

13.1 At pick-up and at return of the Vehicle a report is drawn up recording the odometer reading, fuel or charge level, equipment, documents and visible damage, supplemented by photographs. The report is confirmed by the Lessee and the Lessor (or a person acting on its behalf), including electronically.

13.2 Damage and defects not recorded in the handover report are deemed to have arisen during the rental unless the Lessee proves otherwise. The Lessee must inspect the Vehicle at pick-up and note any obvious defects in the report.

13.3 The Vehicle is handed over in roadworthy condition, with a valid technical and emissions inspection and with basic equipment.

14.3 If the Lessee does not return the Vehicle within 24 hours after the end of the rental without agreement with the Lessor, this is treated as unauthorised use. The Lessor may locate the Vehicle, arrange its return at the Lessee’s expense and report the matter to the criminal law enforcement authorities.

15. Cancellation of the booking and consumer withdrawal

15.1 The Lessee may cancel the booking free of charge no later than 24 hours before the agreed start of the rental. The amount paid is refunded by the same payment method without undue delay. For later cancellation or failure to collect the Vehicle, the cancellation terms stated in the booking confirmation and in the general terms and conditions apply.

15.2 The Lessor may cancel the booking in the case of an obvious pricing error, unavailability of the Vehicle (damage, breakdown, downtime) or if the Lessee does not meet the conditions of the agreement; in that case it shall refund the amount paid in full and offer reasonable compensation.

15.3 A Lessee who is a consumer acknowledges that, for a contract for the rental of a means of transport for a specific day or period concluded at a distance, the right to withdraw from the contract within 14 days without giving a reason does not arise within the meaning of Act No. 108/2024 Coll. on consumer protection (Slovak Republic). Details are set out in the separate information on the right of withdrawal published on the website of the WeDriver platform. The consumer’s rights under this Article and under the law are not affected.

16. Liability for damage and force majeure

16.2 The Lessor is not liable for items left in the Vehicle, for damage suffered by the Lessee or third parties as a result of the Lessee’s breach of obligations, or for indirect damage and loss of profit, to the extent permitted by law. Liability for personal injury and for damage caused intentionally or by gross negligence is not excluded.

16.3 Neither party is liable for failure to perform an obligation caused by circumstances excluding liability (force majeure), in particular natural events, war, terrorist attack, strike, official measures or closure of borders. The affected party shall inform the other party without delay. If the impediment lasts longer, either party may withdraw from the agreement and the Lessor shall refund the proportionate part of the price paid for the unused period.

17.1 The personal data of the Lessee and the Driver are processed by WeDriver in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) and Act No. 18/2018 Coll. on personal data protection (Slovak Republic), for the purposes of concluding and performing the agreement, verifying the driver, invoicing, protecting property, handling damage and complying with legal obligations. Details on processing, legal bases, retention periods and the rights of data subjects are set out in the privacy policy published on the website of the WeDriver platform.

17.2 The Vehicle may be equipped with telematics (location, odometer, lock status). The data are processed only to protect property, to invoice kilometres, and for safety, assistance and handling of damage, during the rental and to the extent set out in the privacy policy.

17.3 Where the Lessor is the vehicle owner, WeDriver provides the owner only with the data necessary for handover and return of the Vehicle and for handling damage. The Lessee may not use them for any other purpose.

18. Governing law, dispute resolution and final provisions

18.1 This agreement is governed by the law of the Slovak Republic, in particular the Civil Code and Act No. 108/2024 Coll. on consumer protection. Where the Lessee is a business, the Slovak Commercial Code (Obchodný zákonník) also applies to the extent the legal order permits.

18.2 Disputes shall preferably be resolved amicably. A consumer may first contact the Lessor with a request for redress at info@wedriver.cz. If the Lessor rejects the request or does not reply within 30 days, the consumer may submit a proposal for alternative dispute resolution to an alternative consumer dispute resolution body (the list is kept by the Ministry of Economy of the Slovak Republic; e.g. the Slovak Trade Inspection). The European Commission’s online dispute resolution platform has been discontinued and cannot be used. Supervision is exercised by the Slovak Trade Inspection. The right to apply to the competent court is not affected.

18.3 The parties serve notices on each other electronically at the e-mail addresses stated in this agreement and in the booking; a notice is deemed delivered on the business day following dispatch. The Lessee must notify any change of contact details.

18.4 If any provision of the agreement is invalid or ineffective, the remaining provisions stay in force. Amendments to the agreement require written or electronic form; an already confirmed booking is governed by the version of the general terms and conditions in force at the time of its confirmation.

18.5 The agreement is concluded in the Slovak language. Translations into other languages are for information only; in the event of a discrepancy the Slovak version prevails.
