CONDITIONS
BOOKING
Mikabacken AB owns the snowmobiles and rental contracts are signed with Mikabacken AB. The rental service is mediated by South Lapland Snowmobile AB and all correspondence regarding reservations, payment, etc. is handled by South Lapland Snowmobile AB.
The person making a reservation, hereinafter called ‘the customer’, is responsible for checking the booking confirmation and making sure that the confirmation is consistent with the desired reservation. We as providers will send the booking confirmation by email after the reservation has been made. The reservation applies to us as providers as well as to the customer as soon as the reservation has been made.
Payment (by cash, card, or invoice*) must be made before the snowmobile is delivered to the customer. The customer is responsible for the payment up until the rental contracts are signed.
* If you would like an invoice, please notify us by email at least 10 days before the date of delivery of the snowmobile.
⦁ Review your booking confirmation and make sure that the dates for delivery and return, and that the number and type of snowmobiles/sleighs/clothing etc. are correct.
RENTING AND DRIVING
Rental contracts are signed before delivery of the snowmobile and the person driving the snowmobile, ‘the driver’, will sign the contract. If the person who made the reservation will also be the driver of the snowmobile, this person is subject to the conditions for both customer and driver. The driver is the one responsible for any payment after the rental contracts are signed.
To rent a snowmobile with us, the driver must meet the licence requirements for driving a snowmobile. It is the driver's responsibility to be aware of these requirements. To read our summary of the licence requirements, please click here → Licence requirements. In general, if you have the right to drive a snowmobile in your own country, you also have this right in Sweden. Of course, your licence should be valid.
The driver is responsible for the snowmobile and must comply with the applicable legislation and other regulations. The driver needs to have knowledge about prohibited areas and drive the snowmobile responsibly and safely so that no damage is inflicted on themselves, others, or the environment. If the driver does not comply with legislation or other regulations, the snowmobile is withdrawn without repayment of the remaining rent.
The driver is financially liable for any damages incurred on the snowmobile, sleigh, equipment, or the environment. The deductible for vehicle damage or theft is SEK 10,000 - SEK 20,000 (otherwise in accordance with applicable insurance terms). If the key to the snowmobile is lost or damaged, the driver will be charged SEK 500 for transcoding and replacement of the key.
If the driver, somehow, damages the snowmobile so that it can not be operated or rented out, the driver will be charged for the full rental period. If we can offer another equivalent snowmobile, the driver can be offered to continue to drive a snowmobile during the remaining rental period without being charged for more than the original rent. If the snowmobile, because of the damage, still is not possible to rent out after the rental period and we as providers can prove loss of rental opportunity with another customer, the driver will be charged a downtime cost of SEK 500 per day until the snowmobile has been repaired.
The provisions on drunk driving also apply to snowmobiling. The vehicle insurance is not valid if an accident occurs while the driver is under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or if the snowmobile sinks while driving over ice-covered waters. In this case, the driver is responsible for any costs.
Driving is at your own risk!
⦁ Make sure you have a valid licence. Refresh your memory regarding traffic rules and legislation. Drive sober and in a responsible and safe manner. Stick to marked trails and make sure you have good knowledge of where you are allowed to drive. Show respect for others and for the environment!
CANCELLATION
Cancellations must be made by email to info@slsnowmobile.com so that they are documented. Please, feel free to call us if you have any questions.
If the reservation is cancelled within less than 5 days before the time of rental, the customer will be charged half the rental cost. If cancellation is made within less than 2 days to the time of rental, the customer will be charged the full rental cost. Regardless of when the cancellation is made, the customer will not be charged if the cancellation is made for a specific reason (such as extreme weather assessed by the rental service or illness substantiated by a medical certificate), as long as the rental period has not yet started.
If we as providers can not provide the snowmobile or other equipment in the promised condition or at the time agreed upon and we are not able to offer any other equivalent option, the customer or the driver has the right to terminate the contract and receive compensation minus the cost corresponding to what the driver has already utilized.
⦁ If you need to make a cancellation, please do so by email and in ample time.
