the shipment that is dropped in one of the shipment collecting boxes provided by the service provider is collected from the box, and the time of collection is confirmed by a written signature;

there is a written contract, agreement, offer or order, signed by both parties

1.3. Amendment of the Contract

Amendments by the Shipper
The Shipper may require the modification of the mailing address, as well as a modification in the additional services. DHL must be advised in writing of any such request, with reference to the waybill number verifying the acceptance of the shipment for transportation. DHL will make all necessary arrangements to fulfil the requirement, but shall not be held liable for damages in the event of failing to do so.

Amendments by the Receiver
A domestic Receiver may only initiate the modification of the mailing address by providing the waybill number and the accurate particulars of the person, requesting the modification. DHL records the request in writing or through DHL On Demand Delivery (ODD) system and acts accordingly, provided the shipment is not yet out for delivery. If the shipment is already out for delivery, DHL shall attempt the modification of the mailing address the following business day. DHL shall not be held liable for damages in the event of failing to do so.

In accordance with Art. 16. § Par. 4 of the Postal Services Act, according to the Receiver’s request DHL is entitled to deliver the shipment to the Receiver’s neighbor if the Receiver is not available at the time of the delivery.

1.4. Termination of the Contract

The service contract shall be terminated upon the successful completion of the service undertaken. The Contract shall also be terminated if the shipment is deemed undeliverable, in the event that:

• the shipment cannot be delivered or returned to the Shipper, for reasons beyond DHL’s control;
• the Shipper waives the return of and orders the destruction of the shipment;
• the transportation charge has not been settled.

Unless otherwise instructed by the Shipper, DHL stores undeliverable shipments for a period of 6 months and then destroys them.

The Contract shall also be terminated upon the Shipper claiming the shipment back prior to its departure from the country of origin. In such cases DHL will refund the transportation charge.

2. INQUIRIES, COMPLAINTS, CLAIMS

A. Inquiries
DHL Customer Services provides information free of charge to the Customer and anyone authorized by the Customer about the execution of the services rendered by DHL within 1 month from the business day following the day of collection.

The Customer may raise any concerns, or lodge a claim relative to DHL’s services either verbally (by calling 06 1 2 45 45 45), or in writing (post, fax, e-mail, the website of DHL Express Hungary Ltd.) to Customer Services, as well as in person at DHL’s shipment collection points, pursuant to the relevant effective Laws.

B. Complaints
Only those applications shall be regarded as complaints, where the Customer claims that the service provided by DHL, or the work done by a DHL staff member, does not meet the statutory requirements or those included in DHL’s regulations. The complaint may be aimed at the infringement of individual rights or interests. No inquiry initiated by the Customer with the purpose of obtaining accurate information about the forwarding and delivery of a shipment shall be considered as a complaint.

Complaints related to the shipment may be made within a limitation period of six (6) months from the day of collection. In case of a complaint pertaining to an activity or behavior, the limitation period is thirty (30) days from learning about such an activity or behavior, but no later than six (6) months from the occurrence thereof.

Complaints can be made to DHL Customer Services by telephone or in writing, or through the website www.dhl.hu. In addition, Customers are entitled to write their complaints in the “Customers’ Book” that is made available at our customer service locations; the service provider treats these complaints as written complaints, registering and investigating them accordingly.

DHL investigates all complaints and will make every reasonable effort to ensure that the complaint is handled and answered as soon as possible, but no later than within 30 days from submission. Complaints are settled individually on the basis of the contract between the Customer and DHL.

After investigating the complaint, DHL notifies the Customer in writing, without delay in the case of domestic services, and within 15 days from receiving information from the appropriate source abroad in the case of international services.

If the complaint is rejected, the Customer always receives a detailed explanation in writing.

DHL keeps a log of incoming written complaints and their settlement, an annual report on which is presented to the National Media and Infocommunications Authority by no later than March 31st of the following year. This report is also published on the corporate website.

C. Making claims
Claims may only be made by the payer (that is, the shipper in the case of domestic and export shipments, and the customer in the case of import shipments) unless the payer assigns this right to another party in writing.

A partial loss or damage of the shipment – if it is visible from the outside of the packaging – shall be reported by the receiver immediately upon delivery to the courier making the delivery and it shall be recorded in the delivery documents. Failing to do so forfeits the rights to any claims made later. If the partial loss or damage of the shipment is not visible from the outside of the packaging, it shall be reported to DHL Customer Services in writing (post, fax or e-mail), or registered in writing at DHL’s central office (1185 Budapest, BUD International Airport 302. building) with a limitation period of three (3) days from delivery.

Claims related to a delayed delivery of time definite shipments shall be made to DHL Customer Services in writing (post, fax or e-mail), with a limitation period of fifteen (15) days from delivery.

Claims related to lost or destroyed shipments shall be made to DHL Customer Services in writing (post, fax or e-mail), with a limitation period of six (6) months starting on the fifteenth (15th) day after the collection of the shipment. If DHL learns about the loss or destruction of shipment through complaint management, and DHL’s reply is received by the Customer less than 30 days before the end of the limitation period, the limitation period is automatically extended by 30 days from receiving the reply.

DHL investigates and assesses all claims and notifies the claimant on the results in writing, within 30 days from the submission of the claim.

If DHL deems the claim justified, the notification will contain, along with the statement of this fact, the expected date of the settlement of the claim, which cannot be later than 60 days after the date of the notification.

If DHL disputes the legal basis or the extent of the claim, it sends a written reply to the claimant, stating the reasons for doing so, describing the regulations governing claims and informing the claimant that Act CLV of 1997 on consumer protection entitles them to initiate a legal dispute at an arbitration board.

If the claimant made their announcement, report or claim to DHL according to the rules and within the limitation period described in this chapter, and the claim was either disputed by DHL or it was deemed justified by DHL but reimbursement was not completed within 60 days of delivering the notification thereof, claimant hall be entitled to make their claim in the courts, with a limitation period of one year from the collection of the shipment. The period of the arbitration that is initiated by a consumer legal dispute is excluded from the limitation period.

3. PRICING

Transportation charge

The Customer is charged for using DHL’s services. The transportation charge is calculated based on the country of destination, and the content, size and weight of the shipment. In addition to the charge thus calculated, additional payment is due for additional services.

The charges in effect for basic, custom and additional services are found in the Published Tariffs (Appendix Services and Tariffs in effect).

DHL advises Customers of any changes effected in the service charges by publishing them at Service Point outlets, on the website of DHL Express Hungary Ltd. or via post and/or e-mail, 15 days in advance.

Methods of payment

Bank transfer
Transportation charges may be settled via bank transfer provided an Account Opening Form (Annex 3.) has been completed, or a written agreement has been entered into with DHL.

DHL issues an itemized invoice to the Customer on the execution of service. In the case of an Account Opening Form signed by both Parties, the invoice is issued on a weekly basis, in the case of a written agreement entered into with DHL, the invoice is issued either weekly or monthly. The Customer shall transfer the value of the invoice to DHL no later than the payment deadline indicated on the invoice.

Should the Customer fail to settle the payment by the deadline, DHL Express Hungary Ltd. shall be entitled to a default interest for the late payment period pursuant to Section 6:155 of the Civil Code.

In this case, DHL may impose on the Customer all legal and other costs incurred during the course of the recovery of the debt.

Should the Customer fail to settle the payment by the deadline, DHL reserves the right to revoke the discount stipulated by the written agreement held with the Customer, and to invoice future services at full price as per the tariffs in effect.

Failure by the Customer to meet the payment obligation will be considered as a severe breach of contract and may result in the immediate termination of the services being rendered.

Payment in Cash
Transportation charges may be settled in cash at the time of shipment collection, or by credit card at a Service Point outlet or in a DHL office.

Payment by Third Party
Responsibility for the transportation charges may be assumed by a Third Party, but only in the case of a standard Import Express service. This payment method is offered only to customers holding a DHL account number. In such cases, DHL requires the Customer to complete a declaration of liability in which the Shipper agrees to assume responsibility for all transportation charges in the event of the Third Party refusing to do so.

Discounts
On the basis of a separate agreement or offer, DHL may grant payment conditions and prices more favorable than those incorporated in the tariffs in effect to customers frequently sending larger volumes of shipment.

4. DATA PROTECTION REGULATIONS

In accordance with the Postal Services Act, DHL acts as a data handler, using the data acquired during the provision of its services and forwarding them when it is stipulated by law or made possible by the prior, appropriate and voluntary consent of the data owner. The objective of data handling related to the services described in these Standard Terms and Conditions is the execution, settlement, proof and subsequent review of services, as well as provision of data to the authorities and for other reasons stipulated by the Postal Services Act. Unless the Law or the data owner states otherwise, DHL stores such data until the end of the calendar year following the year of the collection of shipment, and then it destroys the data. Within this framework, and in the interest of reaching the objective of the aforementioned data handling, DHL shall be entitled to forward data to other data handlers or data processors located in third countries.

DHL only asks for customer data that are necessary for the provision of its services. DHL may only learn about the content of the shipment to the extent allowed by the Postal Services Act.
