The complaints procedure regulates the way of applying consumer claims resulting from the responsibility of the service provider for deficiencies and defects of the service provided and handling the complaint.

Rights from liability for service errors covered by the warranty period shall expire if they have not been exercised within the warranty period

The consumer has the right to complain if he was provided with services of a lower scope or lower quality than was previously agreed upon or as usual.

In writing to: SHOOTING ACADEMY sro, Hláváčiková č. 15, 84105 Bratislava

Orally: at the time and place of service provision.

Procedure for making a complaint

If the consumer discovers the reasons and facts that may be the subject of a complaint, he is entitled to file a complaint immediately, without unnecessary delay, with the service provider. In the case of an oral complaint submission at the place of service provided, if the complaint is not dealt with in full immediately, the service provider is obliged to write a document of receipt of the complaint with the consumer.

The consumer is obliged to submit proof of payment for the service when making a complaint. Rather, the service provider shall provide a document on receipt of the claim, in which the objective circumstances of the claim are stated.

Filing a complaint on the spot will allow for the removal of the claimed defect immediately, as the evidence and objectivity of the assessment becomes more difficult with the passage of time, and thus the possibility of properly handling the complaint.

When making a complaint, the consumer is obliged to state the subject and reason for the complaint.

If the consumer proves the documents related to the complaint, these facts will be stated in the document on receipt of the complaint.

The proof of receipt of the complaint shall be signed by the service provider. The consumer will receive a copy of the receipt of the complaint, while confirming receipt and agreement with the content of the complaint by signing.

The processing of the complaint will be carried out immediately, in justified cases within 3 days. If this is not possible, especially if a complex technical evaluation of the state of the service is required, the consumer is informed about the deadline for handling the complaint no later than 30 days from the date of application of the complaint.

The status of the claimed service

The consumer is obliged to file a complaint immediately, without unnecessary delay.

The use of the service to a lesser extent caused by the consumer himself or another consumer cannot be considered as a service provided incorrectly.

Consumer cooperation in handling complaints

The consumer, as a participant in the complaint procedure, is obliged to provide the necessary cooperation in resolving the complaint, in particular to provide information, submit documents proving the factual situation, specify his requirements in terms of reason and amount, etc.

If the nature of the claim requires it, the consumer must allow the service provider to verify the validity of the claim.

Method of handling the complaint

If the consumer asserts the right of liability for service deficiencies, the service provider is obliged to decide on the claim after proper examination of the factual and legal circumstances.

The service provider can deal with the complaint on the spot within the scope and amount of the paid price of the service, or by providing substitute performance in the same amount.

When assessing the legitimacy of the consumer's complaint, the service provider is obliged to issue a document on the handling of the complaint, which, among other things, also states the date and method of handling the complaint.

In cases where the complaint is judged to be fully or partially justified, the handling of the complaint consists in the free removal of the deficiency, or in the provision of a substitute service, or, according to the agreement, in the provision of an adequate discount on the price.

In cases where the complaint is judged to be unfounded, the consumer is informed in writing of the reasons for rejecting the complaint.

Final provisions

This complaint procedure is valid from January 1, 2014 and cancels the validity of previous complaint procedures.
