Introductory provisions
These Terms and Conditions (the Terms) govern the legal relationship between the Service provider and the User / Customer in relation to the use of the Website, the quote-request process and — where a contract is concluded — the installation work.
The Service provider's activity is the distribution, on-site surveying, configuration and installation of premium pergolas, awnings and shading systems manufactured by RGM Italia (Italy) in Hungary. The Website is not an online shop: no direct purchase is made through it, only free quote requests. Each specific contract is always concluded separately, in writing.
On matters not regulated by these Terms, Hungarian law — and in particular the laws listed below — applies.

Website
The website at the riczu.hu domain and its subdomains.
Quote request
A free, non-binding initial enquiry submitted by the User through the contact form on the Website.
Quote
An itemised, fixed-term written offer issued by the Service provider — typically after an on-site survey.
Contract for work and services
The written agreement entered into between the Customer and the Service provider on the basis of the accepted Quote and covering the installation.
04
Scope of services
The Service provider offers the following main services:
Bioclimatic pergolas
Motorised louvre-roof systems
RGM Italia bioclimatic pergolas (the CLIMAX line) with motorised, tilting aluminium louvre roofs — distribution, on-site survey and installation.

Glazed enclosures
Season-extending add-ons
Glass walls, panoramic and side-closure systems (MIRADA, glass windows) for existing or new structures.
The exact technical content, configuration and installation scope of each project is defined individually after the on-site survey.
05
Quote requests and communication
The User may submit a free, non-binding quote request through the contact form on the Website. The form requires a name and at least one contact channel (phone or email), plus the indication of the planned project type (bioclimatic pergola, pergola awning, awning / glazing).
By submitting the form, the User acknowledges the Privacy notice and consents to the Service provider contacting them at the submitted channels.
A quote request alone does not create a contract or any payment obligation. The Service provider reserves the right not to accept certain requests on grounds of capacity or professional judgment, and will notify the User of this in writing.
06
Contract conclusion process
- Quote request: the User submits the form on the Website or contacts us directly via email or phone.
- Callback: we get back to the User within 1–2 working days to clarify the brief.
- On-site survey: we carry out a free on-site survey by prior arrangement (within Hungary).
- Written quote: based on the survey, we send an itemised, time-limited quote (usually valid for 30 days) within 5–15 working days.
- Contract: upon acceptance, we sign a written contract for work and services covering the technical scope, the contract price, the payment schedule and the delivery deadline.
- Deposit and production: design, fabrication and scheduling start once the contractual deposit has been received.
- Installation and handover: installation takes place by the deadline set in the contract, and is closed by a written handover protocol.
07
Pricing and payment terms
The contract price is set individually for each project and listed item by item in the quote. Prices are quoted in HUF and — unless stated otherwise — include materials, fabrication, on-site installation and the professional warranty. VAT is shown separately.
Payment schedule
Typical structure
Typically: 40–50% deposit on signature (to start production), 40–50% on commencement of installation or interim handover, the remainder on successful handover. The exact schedule is set out in the quote and the contract.
Invoicing
Electronic invoice
The Service provider issues electronic invoices within the statutory deadlines and sends them to the email address provided by the Customer. Invoices are submitted automatically to the Hungarian Tax Authority's online invoicing system.
Late payment
Default interest
In case of late payment the Service provider charges default interest under the Hungarian Civil Code; for non-consumer Customers this is the central bank base rate + 8 percentage points (Civil Code, Section 6:155).
Refund
Deposit refund
If the contract ends through no fault of the Customer before production starts, the Service provider refunds the deposit (less any documented costs already incurred) within 15 days.
08
Performance and handover
The installation deadline is set in the contract and runs from the receipt of the deposit required for production. The Service provider is entitled to partial performance by prior arrangement with the Customer. Handover is recorded in a written protocol that lists any defects, missing items and the deadline for their remedy.
The Customer is responsible for providing the on-site conditions needed for installation (access, electrical supply, an unobstructed work area and any administrative permits). Delays caused by their absence are not attributable to the Service provider and extend the deadline accordingly.
09
Right of withdrawal and termination
A quote request submitted through the contact form does not constitute a contract, so the 14-day right of withdrawal under Government Decree 45/2014. (II. 26.) does not apply at this stage.
The contract covers products manufactured to the Customer's measurements and configuration. Under Section 29(1)(c) of Government Decree 45/2014. (II. 26.), the Customer is not entitled to the 14-day right of withdrawal even if they qualify as a consumer — the Service provider notifies the Customer of this separately, in writing, at the time of contract conclusion.
Either party may terminate the contract in writing, with reasoned notice, in the event of a material breach by the other party (Hungarian Civil Code, Section 6:249).
10
Warranty and guarantee
Statutory warranty
Civil Code, Section 6:159
The Service provider is liable for the installation conforming to the contract and statutory requirements at the time of performance. The limitation period is 2 years for consumers and 1 year in non-consumer relationships.
Product warranty
Civil Code, Section 6:168
Consumers may enforce defect claims directly against the producer (the Service provider) for installed manufactured products within 2 years of being placed on the market.
Statutory guarantee
Decrees 151/2003 and 181/2003
Where the relevant government decrees impose mandatory guarantees — e.g. on certain durable consumer goods or on residential construction work — we provide the statutory guarantee.
Contractual guarantee
Project-specific term
Depending on the materials and technical content, the Service provider grants a contractual guarantee of typically 2–10 years. The exact term and conditions are set out in the individual contract.
11
Complaints and remedies
Complaints should primarily be sent directly to us at ajanlat@riczu.hu or on the phone number listed above. The Service provider investigates and responds in writing within 30 days.

The Customer may use the design solely for the subject matter of the contract concluded with us; using it for installation by a third party or for resale is not permitted.
13
Limitation of liability
The Service provider compiles the information on the Website with reasonable care. Prices, lead times and technical parameters shown are indicative only; a binding offer is always issued in writing after the on-site survey.
The Service provider is not liable for damages arising from the use of the Website, its temporary unavailability or the outage of third-party services (e.g. hosting or email). Installation liability is capped at the contract price; liability for damage caused by ordinary negligence is excluded to the minimum extent permitted by the Hungarian Civil Code, and in consumer relationships to the extent permitted by law.
