Likewise, insurance deductibles, expert appraisal and Vehicle repair costs for damage not covered by insurance, as well as the Rental Company’s operating losses while the Vehicle is immobilized, in accordance with the provisions of Article 1732 of the French Civil Code, shall be borne by the Hirer. Deductibles can range from 1,500 to 3,000 euros depending on the category of Vehicle rented, unless the Hirer opts for a deductible buy-back as mentioned in the Special Conditions, in which case the amount of the deductible will be divided by 3.
8.5.

It is expressly agreed that the amount of the guarantee taken by bank imprint shall under no circumstances constitute a guarantee limit, the Renter retaining the right, where applicable, to sue the Renter in order to obtain full compensation for his loss.
9.3. The security deposit taken by bank imprint will be released at the end of the contract or a maximum of 30 days after the end of the contract, when the Tenant has fulfilled all his obligations under this contract. Failing this, it will be allocated, in whole or in part, to the payment of any sum listed above owed to the Rental Firm by the Tenant.

Depending on the vehicle offered, the rate offered to the customer will be lower or equal to that of the Vehicle initially booked.
The customer will have the option of accepting the replacement vehicle, cancelling the reservation and being reimbursed for the deposit paid at the time of booking, or postponing the rental.
ARTICLE 15 – FORCE MAJEURE
Performance of the obligations incumbent on each of the parties hereunder may be suspended by the occurrence of an event constituting force majeure.
A force majeure event is any event beyond the control of either party, which could not be reasonably foreseen when the Contract was entered into, and the effects of which cannot be avoided by appropriate measures, preventing the performance of the obligation of either party within the meaning of article 1218 of the French Civil Code and case law. The party invoking force majeure must inform the other party in writing without delay of the duration and foreseeable consequences of the event constituting force majeure.
ARTICLE 16 – NULLITY OF A CLAUSE
The nullity of a clause of these General Rental Conditions does not imply the nullity of all the other clauses herein, which therefore remain valid.

The data collected will be communicated only to the following recipients: the insurer in the event of a claim or the authorities in the event of a fine.
