General terms and conditions
- Rates
- The rates are listed in the second step of the reservation process. The process may be terminated at this point. All rates include taxes and charges. Prices are displayed in euro, and will also be charged as such.
- Payment
- We accept credit card payments.
- Reservation confirmation, issuing of voucher
- The customer confirms the correctness of entered personal data with the completion of the reservation. The reservation is valid when the customer has received a confirmation from SPORT MIKE. The customer is responsible for checking all information for correctness. Differences, discrepancies, or other problems must immediately be brought to the attention of SPORT MIKE.
- Withdrawal, Cancellation
- Bookings must be cancelled in writing and are possible under the following conditions:
- - 15% of booked materials or services will be retained for cancellations made 10 days or more before the first day of rental.

- Picking up and returning gear
- The customer is welcome to pick up reserved gear from 3:00 p.m. on the day before first day of rental. Please note that you must have a photo ID. The gear must be returned before end of business on the last rental day. Should you decide to keep the gear longer, you will be charged the difference to local rates. These charges are payable directly in the shop. Should the gear, or parts of the gear, be returned late without a prior notice, the SPORT MIKE reserves the right to charge a late fee. The customer is responsible for returning the gear in a complete and perfect condition.
- Upgrading/downgrading categories
- You may upgrade the rental gear category by paying the difference. If you downgrade to a cheaper category, SPORT MIKE will not reimburse the difference.
- Usage
- The customer may only use the rented gear for it's intended use and functionality. Yu are entitled to free replacement in the same category of the rental gear should it show preexisting defects or damage. Should this not be possible, both parties have the right to cancel the rental agreement. The rental gear may not be passed on to third party, and we expressly point out that unauthorized ski switching can cause serious injuries (because of binding adjustments, etc.). The customer is solely responsible for protecting the gear from theft or mix-ups – the gear is not insured. The customer is therefore also responsible for reimbursing SPORT MIKE for repair costs and present value should the gear break, be damaged or by theft. Exemption: Prior assumption of liability agreement with the rental store.
- Damage, breakage and theft insurance for rented gear
- If the customer checks the "insurance" option, the following conditions apply:
- Object of the agreement
- The customer is generally responsible for reimbursing the renting party for damaged, broken or stolen equipment. The object of this agreement is that SPORT MIKE assumes partial liability for damage or theft of rented equipment.

- Release from obligation to perform
- The agreement is valid for the equipment and for the time period stated in the reservation confirmation. SPORT MIKE is not liable for incidents (like damage/theft) that occurred during extended use according to agreements made later. SPORT MIKE is only liable for the value of originally rented equipment, also in case of damage/loss of category upgraded equipment. The customer is liable for the difference.
- Exclusion of liability
- If the rental equipment is abused, misused, used improperly or in a way not intended, SPORT MIKE assume no liability for damage or loss.
