3. KLAVENESS TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR THE LAST HOTEL USAGE

  1. Shipment of lasts for storage at Klaveness's last hotel is free of charge. If you wish to use this offer, don't hesitate to contact your salesperson at Klaveness for more information. Klaveness offers an insurance recovery refund during transportation according to the transport company's shipment agreement. Standard recovery refunds from shipping companies are low. The client can get higher coverage by choosing the extra insurance. Please get in touch with our customer service for more information.
  2. Storing of lasts in the last hotel is free of charge as long as the lasts are in use. If a pair of lasts has not been used for the past 24 months, Klaveness will notify you which lasts have not been used and will be invoiced for further storage. Klaveness will do this on an annual basis once per year, during the month of May. The client may at any time have the last returned to the clinic. Standard freight costs will apply. Klaveness can also dispose of the last free of charge by instruction of the client. 
  3. The lasts are stored in storage racks and tracked in our Microsoft Dynamics-based archive. Upon arrival, all last will be scanned, and a digital copy of the last will then be stored in Klaveness's secure cloud server. This procedure will ensure that the last is not lost in case of fire, theft, or loss for other reasons. The digital file will be securely stored according to high digital standards of file storage. The digital copy of the last will be deleted when a customer decides to either have the last returned or disposed of.
  4. The last hotel follows European regulations for patient anonymity. It is, therefore, essential that all lasts are marked with reference numbers only and not with names that can be tracked to a person.
