A professional CAFLER driver will collect the vehicle at the place indicated by the User, with a margin of fifteen (15) minutes with respect to the agreed time slot.
The vehicle’s tank must have sufficient fuel to carry out the service and may not be on reserve. Otherwise, it shall be understood that the User cancels the service.
The vehicle must have valid compulsory insurance, registration certificate and technical data sheet. These documents must be handed over to the professional CAFLER driver at the time of vehicle pick-up. Otherwise, it shall be understood that the User cancels the service.
CAFLER shall not be responsible for any valuables left in the vehicle.
CAFLER shall not be liable for electrical or mechanical failures of the vehicle during the pick-up and delivery journey, in which case the User must bear the cost of the tow truck service, whether to return the vehicle to the User or to move the vehicle to a workshop, at the User’s choice.
At the time of pick-up, the vehicle will be visually inspected by the professional CAFLER driver, who will take photographs of the front, rear and sides and will note any possible damage or issues.
The User certifies that they are the sole and actual owner of the vehicle or, failing that, that they have authority over it, that they are of legal age and in turn have sufficient capacity to grant CAFLER sufficient authorisation to provide the service and thereby give their approval for the movements and actions necessary to carry out the contracted service.
4.3 Provision of the service
Once the vehicle has been picked up, a CAFLER driver will drive it to an ITV station, at CAFLER’s choice, so that it undergoes the relevant inspection.
The vehicles picked up may be used by the staff of the ITV station within its premises, if necessary, in order to carry out the inspection corresponding to the contracted service.
4.4 Delivery of the vehicle
In the event that the inspection is unfavourable, CAFLER will contact the User to inform them, and the User may decide between requesting that CAFLER deliver the vehicle to a CAFLER partner workshop or that it be returned to the User.
If the User chooses to take the vehicle to a CAFLER partner workshop, when the workshop studies the fault, it will send a quote to CAFLER for it to validate. Once validated, it will be sent to the customer for acceptance or rejection. In the event that it is accepted by the User, the workshop will repair the fault and CAFLER will take it back to pass the ITV, with no additional cost for the service.
Both if the User wishes the vehicle to be returned directly following an unfavourable ITV inspection, and in the case of rejection of the quote provided by a workshop in the CAFLER network, it shall be the User’s responsibility to repair the faults and, should they request a second pick-up of the vehicle to present it again for the ITV inspection without the station charging for it again, the User must request it before the deadline for carrying out the second inspection expires.
In the event that, following an unfavourable inspection, the User chooses to accept the quote for the repair of defects provided by a CAFLER partner workshop, once the repair by the workshop is completed, CAFLER will contact the User to arrange a new time slot to present the vehicle for a new inspection at an ITV station.
In the event that the inspection is unfavourable and the User’s vehicle is not declared fit to circulate, the User shall bear the cost of the tow truck service, whether to return the vehicle to the User or to move the vehicle to a workshop, at the User’s choice.
In the event that the inspection is favourable, or being unfavourable the User chooses to have the vehicle returned directly, the return of the vehicle will be carried out by a CAFLER driver to the same person who handed it over, and at the same place where it was picked up, within a maximum period of two (2) hours from its pick-up.
Once the car has been delivered to the User, the CAFLER driver will again visually inspect the vehicle and take photographs of the front, rear and sides.
The User may request CAFLER to send the photographs to their email address.
5Warranties and complaints
CAFLER does not undertake that the result of the inspection at the ITV station will be satisfactory. Therefore, CAFLER assumes no warranty in this regard. This exemption from liability does not affect the legal rights the user may hold against the workshops associated with CAFLER, in the event that complementary services related to such workshops are contracted.
CAFLER shall not be liable for electrical or mechanical failures of the vehicle during the pick-up and delivery journey.
The vehicle, both at the time of pick-up and upon its delivery after the inspection at an ITV station, will be visually inspected by the professional CAFLER driver, who will take photographs of the front, rear and sides and will note any possible damage or issues.
CAFLER shall be liable for the penalties for driving infringements that the State Security Forces may impose on the vehicle during the transfer, as a result of the driving carried out by the driver. CAFLER shall not be liable for any other penalties imposed on the vehicle and/or its owner, for example, by way of illustration and not limitation: defects in the vehicle such as driving with a blown bulb, driving with the ITV inspection expired, etc.
In the event that, following the inspection of the vehicle at an ITV station, the vehicle presents damage or issues that did not exist at the time of vehicle pick-up, the User may require CAFLER to be liable for them, for which purpose the corresponding report shall be issued addressed to the insurance company contracted by CAFLER.
By using the Web, the User accepts and acknowledges, without limitation, that CAFLER is not responsible for, nor offers any warranty in respect of, the services provided by CAFLER’s partner workshops.
The foregoing does not affect the Buyers’ legal rights against the workshops.
In the event of an incident with the service provided by a CAFLER partner workshop, the User must contact the workshop directly, following the complaint procedures available at the workshop.
CAFLER holds a civil liability policy contracted with an insurance company that covers civil liability for damage, theft or destruction of the motor vehicles in its possession during the custody of the vehicles. Excluded from said policy are objects or goods deposited inside the vehicles, manufacturing defects, defective repairs or hidden damage, imperceptible due to a lack of care in the conservation of the vehicle. For this reason, and given the difficulty of detecting small impacts or cracks in the windows of vehicles, and the possibility that these become visible with the change in temperature produced during transfers, etc., CAFLER declines all liability with regard to this type of damage.
