Terms and conditions Canoe Center Svanskog

Applications

The following terms and conditions apply to all offers, bookings and contracts regarding all rental items rented through Kanot Center Svanskog.

Scope of contract

We are not a tour operator but provide our customers with rental objects as rental property (rental contract). The rental contract basically only includes the provision of the agreed rental items and – depending on the booking – the transfers. Any support beyond this is not the subject of the lease agreement.

Liability

We are not liable for personal injury or property damage caused to you or third parties by the use of the rental items. The use of the rental items is always at your own risk. When using canoes and motorboats, it is mandatory to wear life jackets. These are flotation devices that do not guarantee safety in case of fainting. You are fully liable for the condition of the material during the rental period. The rental items are to be returned complete, cleaned and in perfect functional condition.

In the event of lost or stolen rental items or in the event of a total loss, the replacement value must be replaced by the renter. In the case of damaged rental items, the cost of repair must be reimbursed.

We recommend that tenants take out liability insurance including “rented movables”, or extend an existing policy accordingly. Some liability insurance offers the addition “incl. rented movable property” for low prices.

Canoe Center Svanskog accepts no liability for loss or damage to private property.

The given tour examples for canoe, motorboat and bicycle are tour suggestions that have been tested and compiled to the best of our knowledge. However, no guarantee or liability can be assumed for the correctness of the information. There is no legal claim to feasibility. The tour proposals are undertaken or carried out by the renter at his own risk.

We are not liable for delays for which we are not responsible (traffic jams, road closures, accident, etc.). We are not liable in cases of force majeure, i.e. situations that may arise from a weather situation, closures of the water by an authority, etc. The instructions of our staff must be followed.

According to the Navigation Act “Sjölagen”, everyone who drives a boat must be considerate of the surroundings. He must have a good knowledge of the sea and know the rules and safety regulations that apply to the waters and boat in which he moves.
No driver’s license is required for our boats. The renter of a motorboat assumes full responsibility for the passengers including liability for any damage caused.

The motor boats Linder Fishing 440 are expressly not allowed to be used on the open Lake Vänern. In extreme weather conditions (continuous wind force 3 – 4 and above) the use of motorboats is prohibited.

Contract conclusion

By making a booking, the Customer makes a binding offer to Kanot Center Svanskog to conclude a rental agreement.
The customer’s booking can be made in person, by telephone, in writing or by e-mail and is legally binding. For confirmation, the customer receives a written rental agreement. A minimum age of 18 years applies for the conclusion of contracts. By booking, the customer accepts these terms and conditions. The registrant of a group acts as the representative of the other participants. In case of booking without prior notification, these terms and conditions are accepted with the conclusion of the written or verbal rental contract. After receipt of the booking confirmation, the total amount is to be paid within 14 days, stating the respective purpose of use, unless otherwise agreed separately.

Duty to cooperate

Upon transfer to the deployment or pick-up location, participants will assist with loading and unloading of rental property and personal private property. The tenant is obligated to do everything reasonable to contribute to the elimination of the rental disturbance in the event of any performance disturbances that may occur. The tenant is obliged to comply with applicable environmental and nature conservation regulations. All weirs are to be bypassed. Please silence on the water and consideration for anglers and nature. The renter and each of the associated tour participants agrees to refrain from excessive consumption of alcohol during a tour. Persons who are obviously under the influence of alcohol or drugs before the start of the journey are excluded from the contract.

Pick up and drop off times

The pick-up and drop-off times are regulated separately for the rental items (canoe, motorboat, bicycle and motorcycle). Your contractual claims may be completely extinguished if the takeover time is exceeded by more than one hour, e.g. if the tenant is committed to a subsequent contract. The return date is binding. Extensions are possible only after consultation with the landlord. If rental items are returned before the end of the contract period, there is no right to a partial refund of the rental fees.

Deposit

For the rental of motorboats a deposit of at least SEK 2,000 per boat is required. For the rental of other equipment, we reserve the right to request a reasonable deposit as well.

Cancellation conditions

You can withdraw from the lease at any time. The withdrawal must generally be declared in writing. We demand compensation for the administrative expenses incurred as well as for the loss of sales/income likely to result from the withdrawal. We have calculated this compensation claim as a lump sum according to the proximity of the time of withdrawal to the start of the rental period in a percentage ratio to the rental price as follows:

• for each cancellation of the rental agreement a cancellation fee of 500,– SEK is to be paid.
• 90 days to 60 days before the start of the rental period 10% of the rental amount plus cancellation fee of 500,– SEK
• 59 days to 30 days before the start of the rental 30% of the rental amount plus cancellation fee of 500,– SEK
• 29 days to 15 days before the start of the rental period 50% of the rental amount plus cancellation fee of 500,– SEK
• from 14 days until the start of the trip 100% of the rental amount.

We recommend that our customers take out private travel cancellation insurance, e.g. due to illness. Rebookings are generally excluded.

Appendix

The leaflet “Allemansrätt (Everyman’s Right)” will be handed out at the beginning of the rental period and is part of these GTC.

The place of jurisdiction is Säffle.

Invalidity of individual provisions

The ineffectiveness of individual provisions does not justify the ineffectiveness of the rest of the rental agreement. If you have any questions about these rental conditions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
