Specification of the authorisation

We provide services according to the rules of legal representation. This is based on the cooperation of the parties. It comes from the nature of this legal relation that the office is obliged to handle your case professionally and carefully. In case of an application for registration the final decision is made by the authorities therefore the office has no responsibility in this regard. It is our policy that we do not accept cases where there is a conflict of interest in respect of our existing clients. In such cases (e.g. at an opposition against our clients) the office refuses the authorization request and refunds all effected payments. In case you feel that your matter is not treated appropriately, please turn directly to the manager of the head office. We thoroughly investigate any complaint. The operation of the office is ruled by the HU Law No. XXXII of 1995 on patent attorneys.

Generally Georg Pintz & Partners accept mandates where one of the languages of the procedure is English and there is no conflict of interest in the representation. The mandate can be revoked any time however any costs incurred up to that time shall be charged to and paid by you. Mandates given by using online forms are processed within a short period of time. There is no possibility for reimbursement of fees once the application is forwarded to the authorities since the mandate is completed and the authorities do not reimburse the official fees. It is not possible to amend the applications unless it is allowed by the applicable law.

Georg Pintz & Partners does not receive or handle any information relating to your card, our office receives only a short message about the payment from the bank. The bank has a secure 128-bit encrypting key to protect the communication channel. VeriSign certified K&H bank to use this 128-bit key, based upon which it ensures the application of SSL-based encryption. This encryption method is applied in 90 % of today\'s global e-commerce. The browser program used by you (Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator) encrypts the cardholder\'s data before transmission. This means that the information given by you gets to the destination in an encoded form and no unauthorised party is able to interpret or to use it.
