In case of theft, robbery, loss or major damages, the requesting company is obliged to testify at the closest "ministerio pĪblico" (public ministery), and ask for a legal document which notifies said mishap in order to proceed with our insurance coverage claim. If no documents are presented to us, the requesting company is obliged to cover the cost of the equipment and materials.

In case of theft, either partial or total loss, accident or damage of radios and walkies talkies (they are not covered by our insurance policy), the hiring company will be responsible for all the risks mentioned above.
