Costs for the use of the ALKISOFT platform.
ALKISOFT is a payment platform whose purpose is the systematization, organization and cataloging of vehicles through a system that works through the Internet and allows visitors to the website https://www.alkilautos.com to request the reservation of vehicles for rental and use within the territory of the Republic of Colombia or country where the service is offered.
The COMPANY uses three (3) ways to charge for the services offered through the platform:
- Total prepayment of the operation: Under this modality, the user who makes the reservation request must proceed to the immediate payment of the reservation services and even the rental that has been requested. The payment must be made through the means of payment offered by the COMPANY to the user at the time of processing the reservation.
- Partial prepayment of the reservation cost: Under this modality, the user makes the payment of a portion that corresponds exclusively to the vehicle reservation request service and is obliged to pay the rest of the value (the rental value) to the rental company at the moment of receiving the vehicle or when the company requires it for the payment.
- Payment at Destination: Refers to the method of payment by which the user makes the payment at the time of taking the service from the rental companies, either at the time of starting or at the end of the service.
The choice of one of the three (3) above payment methods, corresponds exclusively to the COMPANY and depends directly on the agreements it has made with the rental companies that have been linked to the platform. It could be that sometimes the COMPANY gives you to choose between the three (3) options, between (2) two of them or simply tell the user which is the form of payment chosen for your request, this depends as mentioned above of the agreements reached with the rental companies.
The value of the reservation and rental of each vehicle depends on different variables, among which are the territory where the vehicle will be picked up and delivered, the number of days it is reserved, the extra hours, the range, line, model, type of bodywork and others that distinguish the chosen vehicle, the accessories that are requested as equipment of the reserved vehicle, the additional services and others that at the consideration of the COMPANY and/or each rental company may affect the price. You can check the total value of the rental with the reservation included before requesting the service through the website https://www.alkilautos.com . The values shown on the platform already include taxes for services provided in the Republic of Colombia, for services abroad, the user will be informed if the rate includes taxes or not.
When the platform presents the rental value in a currency different from the Colombian peso due to the origin of the user, it is possible that at the time the prices are charged to the credit card the rental amount may vary due to the exchange rate from foreign currency to local currency. For the purpose of charging for services priced in foreign currency, it shall be understood that the invoice shall be issued based on a value equal to that resulting from multiplying the value in foreign currency by the value of the exchange rate of such currency against the peso on the day on which the user is effectively confirmed that the reservation has been made.
Additionally, it is possible that given certain circumstances you may incur in the payment of additional amounts to those established at the time of booking, such situation may arise in cases such as the following:
- You request additional services to those requested at the time of the vehicle reservation request.
- After having made the reservation, you request that the rented vehicle be received at a different place than the one where it was delivered.
- You show up to receive the vehicle at a different time than the one agreed at the time of the reservation request. If you show up to receive the vehicle outside the schedule established at the time of making the reservation request, due to delays in your flight itineraries, you must also pay the additional charges that apply for late delivery attributable to the user. The COMPANY does not assume responsibility for delays in flights and other related, that is a risk that corresponds to assume the user and therefore should be considered at the time of deciding to use our services.
- You show up to deliver the vehicle outside the schedule established at the time of booking.
- The others that are established in these terms and conditions and/or in the leasing contracts signed by the user with each rental company.
The additional costs are defined in the lease agreements signed by the user with the rental company, in these terms and conditions and in other legal documents that are presented to the user for acceptance.

Risks derived from the use of the ALKISOFT platform.
- For the provision of the service..
Taking into account that the ALKISOFT platform works under an intermediation modality for the rental of vehicles, it could happen that despite the large number of vehicles that we have available for booking through the different rental companies, at the time the user enters the platform, it does not allow you to rent the vehicle you want.
Similarly, it is possible that the user requests the reservation of a vehicle and the same turns out to be unavailable after completing the entire procedure indicated by the platform.

The user is not entitled to consider the vehicle reserved until he/she receives the confirmation from the COMPANY. Likewise, it could happen that in very specific cases, once the reservation is guaranteed, the user shows up at the rental company and the vehicle is not available due to speeding, untimely car repair, accident or other related issues.
Finally, taking into account that this is a technological platform, it is possible that the COMPANY may sometimes disable access to it in a controlled and temporary manner with or without prior notification to users for maintenance or updating work.

Risk mitigation measures deployed by the COMPANY.
- Regarding the risks derived from the provision of the service.
The COMPANY constantly tests the service offered through the ALKISOFT platform to ensure its availability and reliability.
Likewise, the COMPANY is in constant communication with the rental companies to establish the availability of their vehicles and once it receives the reservation request, it initiates the process with the rental company that owns the chosen vehicle to ensure that it is assigned to the user. In any case, it is possible that at the time of processing the reservation of the vehicle to the rental company, the car is already rented, in this case we will proceed to assign for the same time a vehicle of similar qualities through the same or another rental company and will notify the user of the news to determine if you want the reservation to materialize or if on the contrary wishes to desist from the process of the same.
As it could happen that on the day of delivery of the reserved vehicle, the chosen rental company does not have the vehicle available due to a traffic stop, untimely automotive repair, accident or other related, in such cases we will proceed to offer one available within the ranges that the RENTER has to the user to rent it and if the user does not agree, we will proceed with the refund of the money. Our standards indicate that this type of situation should not be frequent and it is the commitment of the RENTER that this type of situation is kept to a minimum.
Additionally, it is possible that on certain occasions and due to unforeseen or unforeseeable situations the rental company may be forced to make changes to the accepted reservation, in that case the user will be notified immediately proposing a solution, which if not accepted will result in the refund of the money paid by the user. The COMPANY is not responsible for assuming additional costs or damages that the user indicates that may be caused by the change of the reservation since the user knows that this is an imminent risk of using the platform and decides to accept that in case it materializes, he/she will be fully indemnified in all moral and patrimonial aspects with the mere return of the money previously paid.
