Article 3 – About the Company
- We are Montarist – a company, that provides you with an App, making your road journey through payable roads within the EU states easy and comfortable. The App helps you to form a request (in other words – make an offer) to the country’s official body in order to buy a digital vignette(s) – an electronic analog of a toll sticker, which You purchase to be allowed to use payable highway of EU countries available at App. The vignettes shall be purchased prior to travel, and they have the duration of their validity (from several days to a year depending on the state and Your choice).
- Please, take note that Montarist only facilitates You in entering into agreements with the country’s official bodies that issue vignettes for the toll on Your behalf. Therefore, by accepting these Terms You have a right to enter into an agreement with the country’s official body that issues the vignette. The Montarist Services constitutes an invitation to the User to submit an offer to conclude on behalf of the User an agreement with the appropriate country’s official body to buy the vignette for the User.
- Only when the ordering process is completed in the “Payment” area after entering the customer data by clicking on the order button “Pay” and paid, there is a legally binding offer of the User to conclude an agreement with the appropriate country’s official body. Until then, the User has the option of canceling the ordering process and making corrections at any time.
- The vignette applied for will only be issued by the authorities responsible for this in the travel country, delivered by Us to You electronically (by email and in App), and at no additional cost. Only the responsible authority of the appropriate EU state decides on the issue of a digital vignette based on national regulations. Montarist has no influence whatsoever on the decision of the authorities to issue the digital vignette, except for the transmission of the necessary data provided by the User to apply for the issue of the digital vignette. Montarist does not carry out a preliminary check as to whether a vignette can be issued on the basis of the User’s data communicated to Montarist.

- The User has an obligation to inform themselves independently about the conditions and the use of the digital vignette in the travel country. Only the travel information published by the respective travel country provides binding information about the requirements and conditions of the digital vignette.

Montarist is not obliged to inform the User of changes to the requirements for the digital vignette in the respective travel country after the digital vignette has been issued.

Montarist is not liable for delayed processing by the national authorities. Insofar as Montarist states processing times for issuing digital vignettes in its App, these are the processing times specified by the national authorities for processing the digital vignette. By specifying the processing times, Montarist assumes no liability or guarantee that the appropriate national authority ends the processing of Your application during the stated period.
