Article 1: Data for determining rent
- All amounts mentioned in this contract are in euros (€).
- The parties declare to accept as correct the number of kilometres, which the odometer (not: the trip meter) indicates as travelled.
- The Hirer agrees to any petrol tank level stated or to be stated in this rental agreement on departure and return with the car. In the event of any failure to do so, the petrol tank shall be deemed to be full on departure. The foregoing does not affect the principle that the car is accepted and must be returned with a full fuel tank, unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing.
Article 2: Costs during the rental period
- During the tenant's time in possession of the vehicle, all costs related to the use of the car including petrol, oil, storage, tyre repair, etc. shall be borne by the tenant.
- Any towing and transport costs of the car and/or its occupants will be borne by the renter.
Article 3: Repairs
- Repairs to the car without the lessor's consent are at the expense and risk of the lessee.
Article 4: Car papers
- The renter is liable for damage due to loss of accompanying documents, such as registration certificate, insurance certificate (green card) and any border documents.
- As long as the lessee has not returned the car papers in full to the lessor after returning the car to the lessor, the lessor suffers business loss, for which the lessee is liable under section 8.
Article 5: Insurance
- The hirer declares to be familiar with the fact that no other insurances have been taken out in respect of the car than those expressly mentioned. Any other or further insurance policies that may be desired by the hirer, such as any so-called passenger insurance, must be taken out by the hirer himself and at his own expense.
- As the lessor hereby declares, the expressly mentioned third-party insurance meets the requirements set by the Motor Insurance Liability Act (WAM). This third-party insurance does not cover liability for damage caused to the driver of the car (see section 4, subsection 1 WAM), nor does it cover damage arising from participation in speed, regularity or agility trials and competitions, for which the exemption referred to in section 148 of the Road Traffic Act 1994 has been granted (see section 4, subsection 3 WAM).
Article 6: Report on collision
- In the event of damage or loss, whether or not caused through the fault of the hirer and/or the driver of the vehicle and occurring in relation to the vehicle and/or any document belonging to it and/or any (other) item belonging to it, or caused to any third party, the hirer is obliged to immediately notify the lessor by telephone and furthermore to confirm this in writing, submitting a situation drawing and listing witnesses and further details relating to the incident. The lessee is obliged to follow the instructions given by the lessor and, if possible, to have the incident recorded by the police. If the lessee fails to give the aforementioned notice and fails to follow the aforementioned instructions, the lessee shall be liable for any damages incurred by the lessor as a result of this failure.
Article 7: Damages
- The hirer shall be liable for all damage (including any loss and the loss of profits referred to in Article 8) caused to the car and its accessories during the hire period and any consequential damage, whether or not (in deviation from Article 7A:1600 paragraph 1 of the Civil Code) the hirer is at fault, and irrespective of whether such damage occurs in or outside force majeure, except insofar as such damage is covered by the hull insurance.
- The lessee shall indemnify the lessor against all damages of occupants or third parties, for which the lessor might be liable under the law and for which no coverage might be found under the third-party insurance by the lessor.
- The lessee indemnifies the lessor against all fines, transactions and administrative sanctions, etc., which may be imposed on the lessor in connection with crimes and violations committed by the lessee and/or the driver and/or passengers during the rental period. The lessee shall bear the full risk, responsibility and liability for such fines, transactions and administrative penalties in relation to the lessor and, as far as possible, also externally. In addition, administrative fees may be charged for fines, transactions and administrative sanctions.
- Paragraphs 2 and 3 do not apply if the hirer proves that the amounts owed by the lessor are a consequence of a defect in the car, which was already present at the start of the hire.
Article 8: Business damage
- Any loss of profits to be suffered by the lessor, as referred to in art. 7, shall be for the account of the hirer and shall be binding on both parties, irrespective of whether one of the parties can prove that the loss is in fact more or less (fixed at the number of repair days, multiplied by € 50, minus costs saved by the lessor). However, any compensation the lessor may receive under the hull insurance shall be deducted from this.
Article 9: Expert report
Article 10: Damages of the hirer
- The lessor shall not be liable for any costs and/or damages incurred by the hirer or the driver of the car or its occupants as a result of any damage and/or defect and/or loss to the car and its accessories or to third parties.
- If the lessee is unable to use the car during the rental period due to any circumstances whatsoever, the lessor shall not be liable for any resulting damages and costs, but the lessee shall remain liable to pay the agreed rental price.
- Art. 7(4) shall apply mutatis mutandis to paragraphs 1 and 2 of this article.
Article 11: Extension of the rental
- If the car is rented per day, a new day's rental will be charged if the car is not returned to the lessor before 8 am on the morning of the day following the rental day. If the car is used longer than agreed, the rental will continue automatically and the provisions of this rental agreement will remain in force, as long as the maximum extension of the rental time is not exceeded.
Article 12: Exceeding the rental period
- If the hired car is not returned to the lessor within the stated maximum extension of the rental period, the lessee shall owe the lessor, without any notice of default being required, an amount equal to the stated rental price and insurance premiums per day and compensation for extra km, for each day the car is returned late, plus a fine of € 50 per day and interest of 10% per year on the aforementioned amount from the day in question until the day of payment, all this without prejudice to the lessor's right to full compensation insofar as the damage is greater.
Article 13: Dissolution of the lease
- The lessor has the right to terminate the rental agreement at any time without judicial intervention if, in his opinion, the car is not being used by the lessee in a careful manner.
Article 14: Disputes
- All possible disputes arising from this tenancy agreement shall, to the exclusion of all other courts, be adjudicated in the first instance by the District Court of Maastricht, insofar as it does not concern disputes for which the subdistrict court has jurisdiction.
