5. The duration of the agreement and the start of the period

The agreement starts as soon as Global Cars has received the offer signed by the contracting party. In case of an offer which is sent electronically (scanned, e-mail, web form, etc.), 'signed' means the acceptance required for that form.

6.1 The contracting party has 14 days to pay the invoice, calculated from the day of receipt of the invoice. When not meeting this obligation, the contracting party will receive a payment reminder. If Global Cars has not received the said amount within 7 days, Global Cars will proceed to demand payment. For the reminder, as follows reminder costs will be charged over the outstanding amount: 15% over € 2.500,- and 10% over the remaining amount with a minimum of € 40,- plus 2% penalty interest over the outstanding amount, calculated from 15 days after receipt of the invoice.

9. Choice category

9.1 Global Cars takes into account as much as possible the chosen class or category of car of the contracting party. If the chosen class or category of car is not available, the contracting party will receive, in consultation with the contracting party, an alternative through a lease budget/self service lease.

9.2 During the entire period of use of the vehicle, Global Cars reserves the right to change the vehicle and replace it with a vehicle of at least the same category or give an alternative in the form of a lease budget/self service rental. The contracting party must cooperate at all times. The contracting party must take into account that the car will be changed at least once a year, regardless of which term the contracting party has chosen.

10. Mileage, kilometre price and entry restriction

10.1 Every 3 months after execution of the contract, the contracting party provides Global Cars, if so requested by Global Cars, with the exact odometer reading of the vehicle.

10.2 If it appears that the actual mileage, including replacement mileage, deviates more than 10% from the agreed monthly mileage, Global Cars is entitled to charge any additional mileage per month, thus: mileage / 12 months = monthly mileage. If the monthly kilometres deviate more than 10% from the agreement, Global Cars is entitled to correct them per month. Even if the contracting party would drive less, the more kilometres will have to be paid provisionally. Upon return, the kilometres are settled according to the agreement.

10.3 The extra kilometre price is €0,15 per extra kilometre.

10.4 The Contractor is not entitled to a refund or reduction of the contract if you drive fewer kilometres.

11.4 The minimum class for replacement transport is class Compact (Volkswagen Up or equivalent).

11.5 Security Deposit.  The contracting party will pay a security deposit to the supplier.  This security deposit will be paid before the delivery of the first car.  At the end of the lease, this deposit will be returned if there were no accidents with the car, or no outstanding unpaid fines.  If the lease is renewed, the security deposit will stay with the supplier, for the duration of the next lease.  The security deposit depends on the class of the car. If the new lease is for a higher class, the contracting party will just have to pay the difference in order to increase the security deposit.

12.3 The contracting party or driver must have held a valid driving licence for at least one year.

12.4 The acts and omissions of other drivers of the car are, for the application of the terms of the agreement, for the account of the contracting party as if it were his/her own acts and omissions. The contracting party of Global Cars of the car is therefore liable for other drivers.

12.5 If the car is stolen, the renter is not liable for what happens to the car after the theft. The condition is that the contracting party (or the other driver of the vehicle) immediately reports the loss of the car to the police and reports the theft.

13. Good housekeeping and accessories

13.1 The contracting party should treat and maintain the car with care and due diligence. Global Cars has the right to perform intermediate checks. If the car is in an exceptionally bad condition (Global Cars is the deciding party in this), Global Cars has the right to reclaim the car immediately without any right to replacement, and the contract with Global Cars ends immediately and irrevocably. For the created damage the contracting party is fully responsible and the full damage will be recovered by Global Cars from the contracting party.

14.9 The requirements and legalisation of a foreign certificate vary per country. Contractor is obliged to consult the embassy of the country concerned. The Contracting Party itself is responsible for the correctness and timely receipt of the declaration of foreign origin.

15.2 If damage to the car has occurred, the car may not be driven on if this could worsen the damage. If the car is in a dangerous position or obstructs traffic, it may of course be moved.

15.3 The contracting party must request the police to draw up an official report of the event. In such situations the contracting party will always refrain from making any promises from which an acknowledgement of any obligation to pay compensation could be derived and, in general, from everything which could harm the interests of Global Cars, the supplier and its insurer.

15.4 Non-fulfilment by the contracting party of the obligations referred to in the previous paragraphs of this article will result in the contracting party being fully liable for compensation towards Global Cars.

15.5 In the event of damage, as referred to in Article 14.1, the contracting party is obliged to report this immediately as indicated on the green card or insurance documents and to request, in a timely manner, an instruction which is binding on the contracting party as to the company which will repair the damage.

15.6 Costs and damages not included in the price or not covered by insurance, as well as payment of fines etc. arising from or related to the use of the car, are at the expense of the contracting party.

This receipt must be signed by the person who delivers the car on behalf of Global Cars and the contracting party. Contractor must be able to present a valid driving license.

16.4 The registration number is not in the name of the contracting party, but in the name of the supplier of the car.

17. Returning the car

17.1 The contracting party must return the car on the last working day of the period. If the last day or days of the period fall on a weekend or holiday, this means that the contracting party must return the car prior to the weekend or holiday(s). The contracting party will therefore not be able to use the car on that last day or days of the period. For this, the contracting party can not ask for compensation or reimbursement from Global Cars.

17.2 The contracting party must make an appointment for the return of the car with Global Cars or its representative in time before the end of the period. Global Cars or its representative then notifies the contracting party where to return the car. If the contracting party does not return the car in time, the contracting party is still obliged to pay the period price until the car is returned, increased with 75% from the day the contracting party should have returned the car. This surcharge shall not apply if the contracting party is unable to return the car because it has been stolen or declared a total loss and the contracting party has reported this in time. In that case, the contracting party must return the items belonging to the car, such as keys and the vehicle registration certificate, and cooperate in the collection of the car.

17.3 Upon return of the vehicle, an employee of Global Cars or its representative or of the company where the vehicle is to be returned, assesses together with the contracting party whether the car is damaged, clean and whether all accessories, parts and documents delivered with the car are present. The result of this assessment shall be recorded in a collection report. The contracting party is not obliged to be present at the assessment, but if a difference of opinion arises about the correctness of the collection report, the contracting party must prove that the report is incorrect.

17.4 The contracting party shall be liable for any damage, contamination or missing accessories and documents found when taking back the car. It shall first be established whether the damage or contamination has already been reported by the contracting party to the party specified on the green card or insurance documents. If that is the case, the damage is/will be dealt with in accordance with the regulations set out in these Terms and Conditions.

17.5 If the damage has not been reported, Global Cars or its representative assesses whether it is for the account of the contracting party.

18. Third-party clause

18.1 Contractor declares to be aware and as far as necessary to agree with the fact that the ownership of the car can (come to) rest with a third party or that the car can be (or will be) pledged to a third party, as security for the payment of all that this third party can or may owe Global Cars.

18.2 Notwithstanding the existence of the present agreement, the contracting party will surrender the car to the third party at the first request, without the contracting party being able to invoke any right of retention, if and when the third party demands surrender of the car on the grounds of non-fulfilment of Global Cars' obligations towards the third party. As a result of this claim, the present user contract is legally terminated with immediate effect. Delivery as aforementioned must take place at the office of the third party or at a location specified by the third party.

18.3 If the situation referred to in Article 17.2 arises and the third party wishes to continue the use of the car by the contracting party, the contracting party is obliged, at the first request of the third party, to conclude a rental agreement with the third party for the remaining term of this user agreement and under the same conditions.

18.4 The parties fully exclude the applicability of Sections 7:226 and 7:227 of the Dutch Civil Code.

18.5 The third party clause included in articles 17.1 to 17.4 cannot be revoked by the contracting party, nor by Global Cars.

19. Change of address

If the contracting party moves, the contracting party needs to report his new address to Global Cars. If the e-mail address changes, the contracting party should report this also to Global Cars. Until that happens, Global Cars can send all messages destined for the contracting party to the last address and/or e-mail address given by the contracting party. A new phone number should also be reported by the contracting party to Global Cars. These changes should be communicated in writing or by e-mail.
