The personal access code is confidential, personal and non-transferable. The User is responsible for keeping it secret and not disclosing it to third parties.

DROP&WALK shall not be liable for access carried out using the User’s personal code when such access results from the loss, disclosure, transfer or improper use of the code by the User or by third parties for reasons not attributable to DROP&WALK.

During the paid period, the User may open the locker as many times as necessary, provided that the service is operational and these General Terms and Conditions are complied with.

9. LUGGAGE COLLECTION, OVERSTAY AND ADDITIONAL CHARGES

The User must collect their belongings before the end of the paid period.

If the User does not collect their luggage on time, the system may automatically apply additional charges from the first minute of delay. The overstay will be charged according to the current standard hourly rate for the reserved locker, for each hour or fraction of an hour of additional use, until the belongings are actually removed.

The maximum overstay period without DROP&WALK’s express authorization is 2 calendar days from the end of the paid period.

The User may request an extension or regularization of the booking, which will be subject to availability, payment of the corresponding amounts and confirmation by DROP&WALK.

10. UNCOLLECTED LUGGAGE AND SUBSEQUENT CUSTODY

Once the maximum overstay period has elapsed without express authorization, DROP&WALK may open the locker, remove its contents, reasonably document or inventory them and transfer the belongings to a safe place of custody.

Whenever possible, DROP&WALK will inform the User of this situation using the contact details provided in the booking.

Additional costs for management, opening, removal, custody, transfer and, where applicable, return or shipment of the belongings shall be borne by the User.

DROP&WALK will keep the removed items for a maximum period of 30 calendar days from the first notification to the User. Once this period has expired, if the User has not collected the belongings, has not replied to communications or has not paid the corresponding costs, DROP&WALK may handle those items in accordance with applicable law.

Perishable, dangerous, illegal, unsanitary items or items that may affect the safety, hygiene or operation of the premises may be removed immediately and, where applicable, handed over to the competent authorities or handled in accordance with applicable law.

11. OPENING OF LOCKERS BY DROP&WALK

DROP&WALK may open a locker without the User’s prior authorization where there are reasonable grounds related to security, hygiene, an emergency, suspicion of improper use, the deposit of prohibited items, a request from authorities, technical malfunction, maintenance needs, system blockage or the need to free a locker occupied outside the paid period.

Whenever possible, DROP&WALK will document the opening and inform the User of the incident through the contact details provided.

The opening of a locker shall not imply that DROP&WALK assumes responsibility for prohibited, undeclared, unverified items or items deposited in breach of these General Terms and Conditions.

12. CANCELLATION, CHANGES AND REFUNDS POLICY

The User may request cancellation of the booking before the service begins. In that case, DROP&WALK will refund the amount paid, except for administrative costs or payment processing fees, if these were clearly indicated before contracting.

If cancellation is requested after the service has begun, no refund will be made, without prejudice to DROP&WALK’s possibility, as a commercial courtesy and subject to availability, to offer a change of date, location or locker size.

Once the paid period has begun or the access code has been used, the service shall be deemed to have started and no refund will be made for total or partial non-use, except where attributable to DROP&WALK or where applicable law provides otherwise.

Where legally applicable, the User shall have the right of withdrawal within the deadlines and under the conditions provided by consumer protection regulations. However, if the service begins before the end of the legal withdrawal period at the User’s express request and the service is performed in whole or in part, the User acknowledges that they may lose that right in the cases provided by law.

Requests for cancellation, change or refund must be sent to info@dropandwalk.com or to customer support by WhatsApp at +34 691 106 147, indicating the booking number, the email used for the booking, telephone number, name and city of booking.

DROP&WALK will make all reasonable efforts to deal with reported incidents as quickly as possible.

In incidents that prevent access to luggage for reasons attributable to DROP&WALK, the company will try to resolve the incident within an indicative maximum period of 2 hours from effective receipt of the communication, except in cases of force majeure, technical impossibility, lack of provider availability, causes beyond DROP&WALK’s control or lack of cooperation by the User.

Where the incident cannot be resolved immediately and is attributable to DROP&WALK, the company may offer a reasonable alternative solution, including a change of locker, technical assistance or, where appropriate, shipment of the luggage within mainland Spain at no additional cost to the User.
