Article 7
Method of using the rental services:
7.1. The customer visits the lessor’s rental office during working hours or the lessor delivers the bicycle/bicycles to the customer’s desired pickup location. The customer presents a valid personal document, agrees with the lessor’s representative on all rental details, signs the Bicycle Rental Agreement, and correctly completes and signs the Handover Report. If a group of customers wishes to rent several bicycles, these documents can be signed by one renter on behalf of the group, but they must also provide the lessor with all necessary identification details of all renters.
7.2. Upon handing over the bicycle, the renter and the lessor’s representative will inspect the bicycle together. Upon receiving the bicycle, the renter confirms its condition by signing the Handover Report or acknowledges a minor permissible defect if it is due to regular wear and does not pose a risk to operating the bicycle. The renter is obliged to report any defect on the bicycle and cycling equipment that they notice before leaving the rental office.
7.3. The renter who takes over a bicycle in good and technically sound condition must return it in the same condition at the agreed place (considering permissible wear, such as expected dirt on the bicycle).
7.4. The renter agrees to return the rented bicycle on time and no later than the agreed time as stated in the Rental Agreement.
7.5. In the event of a delay in returning the rented bicycle, a contractual penalty is applied – the rental price for an additional day.
7.6. The renter who returns the rented bicycle or equipment in non-working or damaged condition may exchange it for another, fully functioning one, until the end of the rental period. In this case, the renter must immediately inform the lessor of the reasons for the damage to the bicycle. Such a bicycle or equipment exchange is made based on the availability of bicycles and equipment at the lessor, regardless of whether the replacement bicycle or equipment has different characteristics from the exchanged one. If the lessor has no replacement bicycle (equipment) available, they are not obliged to refund the renter if less than 2 hours remain until the end of the rental. Otherwise, they will refund the renter a proportionate share of the rental fee based on the rental time. The lessor follows the rules outlined in this point if the returned bicycle or equipment is not damaged due to the renter’s intentional actions.
7.7. Upon returning the bicycle or/and equipment, the renter and the lessor will draft and sign the Handover Report and record any damage to the rented and returned items. If the renter refuses to sign the Handover Report or disagrees with the lessor’s findings, the latter has the right to act in accordance with the provisions of these general terms, especially those related to the payment of damages and the security deposit.
7.8. Upon picking up the bicycle, the lessor may require the renter to pay a deposit of €100 in cash. The deposit will be returned in full if the rented bicycle is returned undamaged and on time.
7.9. If the deposit is not sufficient to cover the repair or replacement of the bicycle, the renter is obliged to fully compensate the damage caused to the lessor.

9.2. In the event of any damage to the bicycle resulting from improper use of the bicycle or equipment, the renter must pay the lessor compensation for the amount of damage caused. The damage is assessed by the lessor’s representative upon return of the bicycle and equipment, in accordance with the price list for new bicycles and equipment, considering the regular wear and tear of the bicycle and equipment until the moment it was handed over to the renter. The repair price list is published at STF d.o.o. and on the website http://ihunt-rent.si.
9.3. In the event that the renter steals or does not return the bicycle and cycling equipment, or returns it irreparably damaged, they must pay the lessor compensation equal to the value of a new bicycle and cycling equipment according to the price list for new bicycles and equipment.

9.5. In the event that a third party steals the bicycle or cycling equipment from the renter or the bicycle and equipment is damaged in a traffic accident investigated by the police, the renter must provide the lessor with a copy of the police report and a theft report and must pay the lessor a deposit within 5 days from the day of the theft, equal to the price according to the price list for new bicycles and equipment, considering the regular wear and tear of the bicycle and equipment until the moment it was handed over to the renter. The deposit will be refunded to the renter only in case of the return of the stolen equipment. Otherwise, the amount will be retained as agreed compensation.
9.6. The bicycle remains under the renter’s full and exclusive responsibility until the lessor receives a copy of the crime report.

By concluding the rental agreement, the renter explicitly agrees not to object to the lessor’s decision from the previous sentence. The lessor may enforce the rights under this condition.
10.2 The renter may terminate the contract at any time and return the bicycle (equipment) to the lessor if the bicycle or equipment has a material defect that prevents smooth and safe use, and the lessor does not have a replacement bicycle or equipment. In this case, the lessor will refund the rental fee and any other additional payments proportionally to the time the renter was unable to use the bicycle (equipment).
10.3. If the lessor determines at any time during the rental period that the use of the bicycle is contrary to these terms, the lessor may unilaterally terminate the rental relationship, and the renter is obliged to immediately return the bicycle.
