Carpets wider than 3 metres can only be washed by the Contractor folded, and the Contractor will not accept any Customer complaints arising from creasing. The Customer acknowledges that the Contractor uses environment-friendly, approved cleaning products. The efficiency of these products is very high; in case however, it should require some not environment-friendly and more aggressive cleaning products to remove the stain, the Contractor shall not apply such products in case of the Customer’s express instruction not to do so.

The Contractor shall make every reasonable effort to clean the entrusted carpets with the best possible results; however, the Contractor cannot guarantee removal of stains.

The Customer acknowledges that in case of carpets smaller than 1 m2, the Contractor will charge the price of the complete square metre, and in case of carpets of round, oval or other shapes, the Contractor will charge the price of the area corresponding to a square or a rectangle of the same size.

Heavily contaminated, blemished or stained carpets are cleaned at an extra charge of 300 Ft/m2.

In lack of an invoice, the value of mid-price garments of similar type and quality manufactured domestically shall be considered.

In case the value on the invoice submitted by the Customer is regarded by the Laundry as disproportionately excessive, or in case – in lack of an invoice – the Customer does not agree with the estimate of the Laundry, the Laundry shall consider an the expert opinion of an official appraiser.

5.2. The damages shall amount to the following percentages of the value of the item:

70% in case the item has been purchased within three months;

The amount of damages shall not exceed the value of the item.

5.3. In case a garment composed of several parts gets wholly or partially damaged or lost (multiple-part units, costumes, furniture cloth, sets of bed linen, etc.), damages for the whole composition are only possible if all of its parts were submitted for cleaning. Otherwise, the damages may only cover the particular element of the garment that was handed over.

5.4. The Laundry is not liable for damage in case the Customer does not request a thorough check of its clothes at the time of acceptance of the clothes for service, or hands over the clothes in one, unseparated large package to the representative of the Laundry.

The parties shall amicably settle the potential complaints and a protocol about the complaint is to be prepared that shall be mutually signed by the Laundry and the Customer.

6. Late takeover

At acceptance of the clothes for service, the representative of the Laundry and the Customer mutually agree on the time of performance, which is binding on both parties. In case the Customer does not take over the subject matter of the service at the agreed time, or cancels the takeover within 4 hours before the agreed time, the Customer shall pay 1000 Ft as penalty fee for default. The Laundry has the right to waive the penalty payment in justified cases. The Laundry shall keep the clothes for 6 months after completion of the service in case the Customer does not check after them. Following the 6-month waiting time, the Laundry will offer the items that have not been taken over to charity organizations.

7. Personal data handling

The Laundry keeps and handles personal data only for the purpose of performance, feasibility and continuous improvement of the services as well as processes such data for the same reasons.
