GENERAL RENTAL CONDITIONS

The Hirer accepts this offer without reservation and undertakes to comply with the contractual provisions set out below.

The company Get Bike Location (hereinafter referred to as "the lessor") reserves the right to assess the ability of the lessee (hereinafter referred to as "the lessee") to use the equipment made available.

1) Purpose of the contract

The purpose of this contract is to hire, with a commitment, the equipment described in the Rental Contract. It cancels and replaces all previous agreements, written or verbal, relating to the said equipment. As soon as the hirer signs this contract, he/she is committed to the lessor. It should be noted that the hirer's prior signature constitutes an application for hire. Any stipulations modifying the clauses and conditions of this contract will be considered null and void unless they result from a written amendment signed by an authorised representative of the lessor. The hirer certifies the accuracy of all information provided to the lessor for the purposes of drawing up this contract. Rentals include insurance, assistance, maintenance and labour as described below.

2) Ownership

The equipment made available remains the exclusive property of the lessor for the entire duration of the contract. Hire transfers legal custody of the equipment until it is returned by the hirer to the lessor and after a general inspection of the condition of the cycle has been carried out by the lessor in the presence of the hirer.

3) Place of use

The bicycles must be used in the region in which they have been hired. Their storage location must be declared so that maintenance can be carried out.

4) Sub-letting

The hirer may not transfer the hire contract or sublet the equipment except with the written agreement of the lessor.

5) Conditions of availability and maintenance

The Hirer acknowledges that the equipment is hired on an "as is" basis.

The customer acknowledges that the equipment is hired in perfect working order and undertakes to comply with the terms of use, maintenance and repair.

The customer is in no way authorised to carry out any technical intervention on the equipment. If necessary, the customer must inform the hire company, which will repair or exchange the equipment depending on availability. In the event of unavailability, the amounts corresponding to the period of immobilisation will not be due. Only repairs and insurance excesses will be payable in the event of the hirer's liability.

If the hire contract does not indicate any particular fault or damage under the heading "Condition of the equipment on departure", only the hire company will be able to judge whether a repair is a matter of maintenance due to normal wear and tear, a hidden defect or damage suffered by the equipment during the hire period and which would therefore be the responsibility of the customer.

6) Duration of commitment

The hirer undertakes, by means of this contract, to hire the equipment for a period to be determined in accordance with the quotation provided or the reservation made online.

7) Prices

The applicable prices are those shown on the quotation on the day the order is placed. The prices displayed are only valid on the day of the order and have no effect for the future.

The prices shown on the quotation are in euros, inclusive of all taxes and exclusive of delivery costs. Any month begun is due for calculation on a pro rata basis for the number of days consumed for delivery. Any month started is due in full for collection.

During a rental period, prices may be revised in accordance with the production price indices for French services to French businesses (BtoB) - CPF 77.11 - Rental and leasing of cars and light motor vehicles.

8) Method of payment

Payments due by the Hirer under this Agreement, for any reason, including but not limited to rent, taxes, and termination payments, will be made by direct debit. The method of payment will be chosen by the Hirer without specification of further details of the direct debit process.

The monthly instalments must be paid by the tenant on the dates indicated, in accordance with the conditions laid down when the contract was signed. The hirer undertakes to meet these deadlines without exception, thereby ensuring the continuity of the rental agreement and compliance with the agreed financial terms.

9) Invoicing

Invoices will be sent to the Hirer electronically and will also be accessible via a personal space, the login details of which will be communicated to the Hirer by email following the first payment. The Hirer expressly consents to the receipt of invoices by these electronic means, thus facilitating rapid and secure access to his/her invoicing documents.

10) Default of payment

Agreed payment dates must be strictly adhered to, with no possibility of delay for any reason whatsoever, including in the event of a dispute.

In the event of non-payment on the due date, late payment penalties will be automatically applied, without the need for prior formal notice. These penalties are calculated on the basis of a rate equal to three times the legal interest rate, applied independently of the pursuit of recovery of the sums due in principal.

We nevertheless encourage the hirer to contact the lessor in the event of any financial difficulties that may affect payment on time.

11) Servicing and maintenance

Maintenance of the rented equipment is an essential part of our rental service. The lessor will inform the lessee of the need for preventive maintenance and the replacement of wearing parts that may occur during the rental period. This communication will include maintenance instructions, as well as the terms and frequency of planned maintenance operations.

The lessor reserves the right to specify the type and frequency of parts that may be replaced, depending on the use and type of equipment hired. The lessee will be kept informed and must facilitate access to the equipment to enable the necessary maintenance operations to be carried out.

The hirer will be notified of the schedule of maintenance operations, whether periodic or following wear and tear, and must ensure that the equipment is accessible in accordance with the instructions provided by the lessor.

The hirer will also be notified of any specific maintenance or replacement of parts outside the standard wear and tear framework, together with all the information required to ensure proper maintenance and preserve the optimum condition of the rented equipment.

It is understood that any deterioration resulting from misuse or failure to follow the maintenance instructions may result in additional costs for the hirer, in addition to the regular maintenance operations provided for in the hire contract.

The lessor undertakes to provide all the necessary details concerning the upkeep and maintenance of the equipment, thereby guaranteeing the best possible rental experience for the lessee.

12) Deposit

A deposit is required for the duration of the hire period, the amount of which is set by the hire company according to the type of equipment hired. The purpose of this deposit is to cover any damage, loss or theft of the equipment during the rental period.

The method of depositing the deposit (e.g. cash, cheque) will be determined by the lessor and communicated to the lessee when the equipment is made available. The principle adopted will ensure both the security of the lessor's interests and ease of management for the lessee.

The deposit may be partially or totally withheld only in the event of damage or theft of the equipment at the end of the rental period. The refund or release of the deposit will be made after a satisfactory inspection of the equipment returned, confirming that there has been no damage and that it has been returned in good condition, in accordance with the terms of the hire contract.

The hirer is obliged to inform the lessor of any changes to the information provided at the time of hire (change of address, bank details, etc.) within the agreed deadlines, to ensure smooth management of the deposit and associated payments.

This general approach guarantees fair and transparent management of the deposit, taking care to protect the interests of both parties involved in the rental contract.

13) Termination by operation of law

The contract is terminated automatically at the end of the initial commitment and on return of all the leased equipment. The contract is also terminated automatically if any of the following conditions are met:

This compensation will be increased by a lump sum equal to 10% of the said compensation by way of penalty clause.

14) Early termination by the Tenant

In the event that the Hirer decides to terminate the rental contract before the end of the period initially agreed, the outstanding amounts due for the remaining term of the contract will become immediately payable. As a general rule, the lessee will be required to pay a percentage of the outstanding amount, defined by the lessor, to compensate for the early termination of the contract. This percentage is intended to partially cover the losses incurred by the lessor due to premature termination, while taking into account the lessee's situation.
