For user complaints regarding non-compliance with this Code of Conduct by Vanners: info@hellovan.es.
For complaints from Vanners in relation to non-compliance with this Code of Conduct by users purchasing its services or other Vanners: vanners@hellovan.es
The use of the aforementioned services automatically binds the users and the Vanners to the full acceptance without reservation of this CODE OF GOOD CONDUCT, which contains the following reciprocal obligations.
Perform the service diligently and under the conditions agreed between the parties themselves.
To meet the other party's requests as far as possible and as long as they are not exaggerated or excessive.
Keep the other party duly informed in the event of any inconvenience or news that may be relevant to the performance of the services.

7. Service development
The user who is interested in acquiring the services of a Vanner must, through any of the platforms offered by HelloVan, follow the contracting steps and pay the price quoted.
Unless expressly agreed otherwise and purchased by the user through any of the platforms, the service to be provided by Vanner will be the transport of purchases and their subsequent assembly at the purchaser's home. Additional services such as the return of purchases or delivery of used goods to clean points must be purchased and paid for by the user through the platforms in order to be enjoyed.
The choice of the Vanner will be made by the user from the possibilities offered by the platform, being the only responsible for the good or bad choice of the same. For the purpose of obtaining a better user experience, HelloVan offers mechanisms of valuations and publication of comments that help in the choice of the Vanner but that in no case can be considered as a recommendation to follow in an obligatory way.
HelloVan will provide users with different means of payment from among several possible ones, and the user can choose the one that is of interest to them. The possible commissions or other financial expenses that third parties pass on to the user for the realization of the payment will be of exclusive account of the user, not being able to claim any amount in this concept to HelloVan or to the Vanner.
From the moment in which the user pays for the service, he/she will have acquired the same, being subject to the return policy that can be found in point 10 of these conditions.
Once payment has been communicated, Vanner will carry out the service as soon as possible in accordance with the obligations contained in these conditions and taking special care to respect the Code of Good Conduct referred to in the previous point.
In the case of the Express service, the Vanner is obliged to give sufficient advance notice to the shop manager in order to inform him of all the conditions necessary to carry out the service sufficiently quickly. Such notices shall be given both on arrival and on departure from the establishment.
Only those Vanners who are in any of the car parks of establishments approved by HelloVan together with their companion, their Van and in a position to deliver the purchases as soon as possible will be able to carry out the Express service. HelloVan will give guidelines to the Vanners upon their express request as to which car parks are valid for this purpose.
Once the service has been carried out, Vanner will show the user the purchases before transmitting them and will issue the document of conformity so that it can be signed. A valid and truthful signature of the document of conformity shall be a mandatory requirement for the delivery of the purchases.
The user shall have the right, upon express request addressed to Vanner, to check the good condition of the purchases for a period of one minute, after which he/she must decide whether to sign the document of conformity or not to do so and not receive the purchases made. The client shall be solely responsible for checking the purchases and ensuring that they are in good condition and without errors, faults or missing parts.
The correctly signed document of conformity will serve as proof and proof of the correct delivery of the purchases and of the user's consent and acceptance of the good performance of the service. Under no circumstances will the user be able to complain to Vanner about the incorrect performance of the service after signing the document of conformity.
In the event of damage, errors or losses in the purchases or in some of the components after the purchase of the HelloVan service, the effects will be as follows:
- If the damages, errors or losses are caused by the manipulation of the Vanner or by any other error attributable to the same HelloVan will open an incident for the purpose of investigating and resolving the conflict, reserving all the sanctioning and legal actions that may correspond to each of the users.
- If the damages, errors or losses are caused by factory defects or other origins that have nothing to do with the service developed by Vanners, the affected user will be the only responsible for making the claims that he/she considers convenient. In this sense, HelloVan will promote a policy of help and support to the user to these effects, without this could imply any assumption of guilt for the originated damages.
The service will be considered to be completed for all purposes once the user signs the document of conformity and Vanner, always subsequently, delivers the purchases to Vanner.
8. Transmission of personal information between users
The users and Vanners agree to provide the personal information that is necessary for the sole purpose of performing the service. This personal information, which may include ordinary contact details such as home address, telephone number or e-mail address, may be used solely and strictly for the purpose of facilitating the performance of the service by both parties.
Both Vanners and other users undertake to protect and safeguard the personal information of other users, refraining from transmitting it to third parties and from using it for purposes other than those necessary for the performance of the services offered on the platforms. Vanners and other users shall be solely responsible for any particular breach of the laws in force regarding the transmission or protection of personal data.
9. Information published on the platforms in relation to the development of services
HelloVan's rating service will be used by the platforms in order to improve the user's experience of using the applications and the website. HelloVan encourages its users to post comments and/or ratings about Vanners with whom they have had a service relationship through the Platforms. However, Vanners are not permitted to comment on or post reviews of each other, nor are users permitted to comment on or review Vanners with whom they have not performed any services. All reviews will be visible and published on the platforms immediately, once it is verified that they comply with these conditions and HelloVan's own company policies.

- Agree that any ratings, experience levels or reputation that are extracted by HelloVan may be shared with third parties.

In the same way, HelloVan reserves the right to expel from the platforms in a temporary or definitive way all those Vanners and other users that have a negative valuation by the rest. In any case, a negative rating will be understood as that which is less than two fifty on a scale of five (5.00) points.
10. Exclusions of liability
The conclusion of agreements between Users of the APPs to offer or demand services is the result of previous free agreements celebrated between adults (Vanners and users), who act under their full and sole responsibility.

In a special way, HelloVan excludes itself expressly and irrevocably of any responsibility for the causes that are exposed below.

- HelloVan is not responsible for the bad performance of the services by the Vanners or the rest of the users. The function of HelloVan is to put in contact third party professionals (Vanners) with other users who may require the use of its services, without accepting any responsibility for any damage or harm that may derive from this contractual relationship. In no case HelloVan will act as judge or party in any extrajudicial or judicial procedure related to the claim of responsibilities for the contractual relationship between Vanner and user.

- HelloVan is not responsible for any damage or harm caused to any user that may derive from the performance of criminal conduct or conduct considered illegal under the legal regulations of the Kingdom of Spain.
