5.2 If and to the extent that (any part of) the rental amount is not received by the agreed date, Dehaco, without prejudice to its rights
under the law or the Agreement and without any notice being required, shall be entitled:
a) to charge statutory commercial interest (pursuant to art. 6:119a and art. 6:120, para. 2 of the Civil Code) on (the unpaid part of)
the rental price to the Renter on commencement of that date whereby in calculating this, part of amonth shall be counted as one
whole month and;
b) to suspend carrying out of the Agreement with respect to the part for which the Renter is in default of payment as well as any
other Agreements with the Renter. Dehaco shall also be entitled to terminate the Agreement with immediate effect if the Renter,
even after a written warning fails to fully fulfil its obligations under the Agreement towards Dehaco within a further specified
period. Dehaco may also claim from the Renter any legal or extralegal costs incurred in securing his rights against the Renter.
5.3 Payments from the Renter shall first be applied to any interest due, then to the costs incurred by Dehaco in connection with failure
by the Renter in complying with the Conditions of the Agreement and only then to the rental amounts due with priority for the first
instalment due over the last instalment due. This shall apply unless Dehaco states otherwise.
5.4 The Renter shall not be permitted to apply any discount, rebate or deduction to a payment unless expressly agreed otherwise in
writing. Furthermore, the Renter shall not be entitled to suspend his payment obligation in the event of any failure on the part of
Dehaco.
5.5 If Dehaco has reason to doubt that the Renter shall fulfil his payment obligation whereby the following circumstances in relation to
the Renter shall in any case form sufficient grounds for doubt: repeated default in payment, seizure against the Renter, suspension of
payment, bankruptcy, full or partial suspension of operations, all the Renter’s debts towards Dehaco shall be payable and Dehaco
shall be entitled to suspend its obligations until Dehaco has received full payment or security for such payment to Dehaco’s
satisfaction. If security is not produced or payment made within fourteen (14) calendar days of the respective request, Dehaco shall be
entitled to terminate the respective Agreement without delay without prejudice to its right to reimbursement of monies and/or damage
to be suffered without being liable to compensation.
Article 6 Receipt of the Rental Goods


6.1 Unless otherwise explicitly agreed in writing, Dehaco shall provide the Rental Goods to the Renter from the Dehaco warehouse at
the agreed time. Dehaco shall not be considered to be in default regarding provision of the Rental Goods to the Renter earlier than a
reasonable period after the original deadline has been granted by the Renter in writing and Dehaco has also allowed this additional
period to expire. All circumstances shall be taken into account in determining the reasonable period.
6.2 If the Renter does not accept the Rental Goods at the agreed time and if the reason for this cannot be attributed to Dehaco, the
Renter shall therefore be directly in default and Dehaco shall be entitled to terminate the Agreement without judicial intervention and
with immediate effect without prejudice to its right to compensation of all costs and damage in connection with the Renter's failure to
accept the Rental Goods or to accept these in a timely manner. Dehaco shall be entitled but cannot be obliged to set a second
deadline in which the Renter can still fulfil his obligation to accept the Rental Goods. If the Renter fails to accept the Rental Goods
within the second deadline, the first sentence of art. 6, para. 2 of the Conditions shall apply.

to quality, soundness and completeness. If the Renter discovers any defects or deficiencies, he shall report these to Dehaco in writing
within three (3) working days after discovery. Defects not discovered by the Renter because of failure to carefully examine the Rental
Goods as to quality, soundness and completeness on or at least immediately upon taking receipt or defects the Renter has not
reported to Dehaco in writing in a timely manner shall not constitute grounds for a reduction of the rental price, termination of the
Agreement or compensation for damages.
Article 7 Use of the Rental Goods


7.1 The Renter shall be obliged to use the Rental Goods as a good Renter, which means among other things that:
a) the Renter shall only use the Rental Goods for the purpose for which it was rent and as appropriate within that scope;
b) the Renter shall use the Rental Goods in compliance with the instructions provided to him by Dehaco in the form of instruction
books, etc. or otherwise;
c) the Renter shall continuously inspect the Rental Goods for proper functioning and unless agreed otherwise shall conduct the
necessary daily maintenance in a timely manner to ensure proper functioning in accordance with the manufacturer's
specifications or Dehaco’s instructions if available;
d) the Renter shall take all reasonable measures to prevent damage to and/or loss of the Rental Goods;
e) the Renter shall not remove or relocate the Rental Goods from where the Rental Goods are to be used based on the Agreement
without obtaining prior consent from Dehaco.
7.2 If a permit is required to use the Rental Goods, the Renter shall bear the responsibility for obtaining the permit in a timely manner

7.3 The Renter shall be prohibited from leasing, subleasing, using or otherwise providing the Rental Goods to third parties, without
prior written consent from Dehaco.
7.4 If Dehaco requires access to the Rental Goods for inspection, maintenance or repair, the Renter shall immediately and fully
cooperate with such request, which includes the Renter, upon request by Dehaco providing a suitable and safe workplace in
accordance with current Health and Safety and Environmental regulations, if necessary, outside the Renter's normal working hours.
Article 8 Seizure


8.1 The Renter declares having knowledge of and as far as necessary agrees that ownership of the Rental Goods may rest with (be
transferred to) a third party or that the Rental Goods may be (or become) pawned to a third party as security for payment of all claims
this third party has or may have against Dehaco.
8.2 Notwithstanding the existence of this Agreement, the Renter shall hand the Rental Goods over to the third party upon first request
without the Renter being entitled to any right of retention if and when the third party asserts its claim to the Rental Goods based on
non-fulfilment of the obligations of Dehaco to the third party. In the event of such claim, this Agreement shall be terminated with
immediate effect. The aforementioned handover shall take place at the offices of the third party or a location designated by this third
party.
8.3 Should the situation described in art. 8, para. 2 take place and the third party would like to continue using the Rental Goods, the
Renter shall be obliged on first request from the third party to conclude an Agreement with the third party for the remaining term of this
Agreement and under identical Conditions.
8.4 The parties shall exclude the applicability of art. 7:226 and 7:227 of the Civil Code in their entirely.
8.5 The third party clause in art. 8, paras. 1 to 4 may not be revoked by either the Renter or Dehaco.

Dehaco, the Renter shall be obliged to indemnify Dehaco for all costs of the seizure.
Article 9 Defects


9.1 Without prejudice to art. 6, para. 3, if the Renter discovers defects, deficiencies or damage to the Rental Goods during the rental
period, the Renter shall notify Dehaco in writing immediately and in any event within three (3) working days. Defects, deficiencies or
damage not reported in writing in a timely manner shall not constitute grounds for a reduction of the rental price, termination of the
Agreement or compensation for damages by Dehaco.
9.2 After discovering a defect, deficiency or damage to the Rental Goods, the Renter shall not continue to use the Rental Goods until
after consultation with Dehaco. Should the Renter fail to consult with Dehaco (in a timely manner), the Renter shall bear all costs
relating to damage sustained or resulting from continued use of the Rental Goods.
9.3 If the Renter reports a defect, deficiency or damage to the Rental Goods and offers the Rental Goods for repair with the intent to
allow further use or retention, Dehaco shall arrange as soon as possible for rectification of the defect, deficiency or damage –
depending on their nature and the available manpower and materials. The Renter shall on request from Dehaco make the Rental
Goods available to Dehaco at a location indicated by it. The Renter shall not in any case allow repairs to be carried out by a third party
without Dehaco’s prior written consent. Dehaco may provide the Renter with replacement equivalent Rental Goods whether or not
temporarily. Dehaco shall bear the repair costs unless Dehaco is able to show that the defect, deficiency or damage can be attributed
to the Renter. The Renter shall always be held liable:
a) if use of the Rental Goods is in conflict with what may be expected of a good Renter such as but not limited to incorrect or
careless use of the Rental Goods, and;
b) for actions or omissions by third parties for whom Dehaco carries no legal responsibility.
9.4 If the Renter, as a result of a defect, deficiency or damage to the Rental Goods that is not (partially) attributable to him is unable to
use the Rental Goods in its entirety for more than one (1) working day, he shall be eligible for a reduction in the rental price in the
sense that no payment shall be required for the days of the stated term of the Rental Goods when he is unable to use the Rental
Goods in its entirety.
9.5 If Dehaco also following written warning from the Renter whereby – given the nature of the defect, deficiency or damage, the
available manpower and material – has been granted a reasonable repair deadline and has failed to rectify this defect, deficiency or
damage due its nature and cannot reasonably be expected to continue using the Rental Goods and Dehaco has not provided any
replacement Rental Goods of similar quality, the Renter shall be entitled to terminate the Agreement. The Renter shall not however be
entitled to terminate the Agreement until he, in Dehaco’s opinion has provided adequate security for payment of the repair costs if
Dehaco has requested this in accordance with the last sentence of art. 9, para. 3.
Article 10 Loss or destruction of the Rental Goods


10.1 The Renter shall immediately report to Dehaco any complete or partial physical loss (including loss of control) or destruction in
whole or in part of the Rental Goods on discovery and shall provide full cooperation to Dehaco regarding such loss or destruction.
Destruction shall also be implied if the cost of repairing damage to the Rental Goods in Dehaco’s opinion exceeds the fair replacement
cost of the Rental Goods at that time.
10.2 The Agreement shall end in the event of loss or destruction of the Rental Goods unless Dehaco provides an equivalent
replacement for the Rental Goods after their loss or destruction has been reported. The Agreement shall however continue at a
reduced price if the Renter chooses to continue using the remaining part of the Rental Goods in the event of its partial loss or
destruction. The rental price shall be reduced to the same extent as the reduction of the fair
rental value of the entire Rental Goods resulting from the partial loss or destruction unless the parties agree otherwise.
10.3 If the loss or destruction is the result of a circumstance legally attributable to the Renter – for example, use of the Rental Goods
contrary to what may be expected of a good Renter – the Renter shall bear the cost of any direct or indirect damage suffered by
Dehaco. In the event of destruction, this damage shall be calculated based on the replacement value.
Article 11 Return after the end of the Agreement


11.1 At the end of the Agreement, the Renter shall notify Dehaco that the Rental Goods are again available to Dehaco. After this
notification, the Renter shall ensure the Rental Goods are returned to Dehaco’s warehouse or other location if agreed in writing, within
a reasonable amount of time. In the period between notification and the return of the Rental Goods, care of the Rental Goods shall
continue to rest on the Renter. In the period between notification and return of the Rental Goods, the Agreement shall remain in force
and the Renter shall remain liable for the Rental price.
11.2 Unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing, the Renter shall return the Rental Goods to Dehaco in a clean condition and –
apart from normal wear and tear to the Rental Goods when being used in accordance with what may be expected of a good Renter –
in the original state by delivering the Rental Goods to Dehaco’s warehouse. Dehaco declares that the return policy as stated on the
website shall apply. The Renter shall provide the Rental Goods no later than on the day on which the Agreement for the agreed rental
period expires or otherwise ends.
11.3 The Renter shall also return to Dehaco the parts of the Rental Goods that may have been released in the manner and at the time
provided for under art. 11, para. 1.
11.4 Any items adjusted on or to the Rental Goods by or at the direction of the Renter shall become Dehaco’s property without it being
liable for compensation to the Renter and without prejudice to Dehaco’s right to have removed what the Renter has adjusted or had
adjusted at his expense.
11.5 Should the Renter fail to provide the Rental Goods at the agreed place and time, the Renter shall be in default without this
requiring any notice of default or warning from Dehaco. The Renter shall in such case forfeit a penalty unless agreed otherwise of 3%
of the purchase price (exclusive of VAT) for the same or equivalent Rental Goods for each day the Renter fails to provide the Rental
Goods at the agreed place and time. In addition to the penalty, Dehaco shall be entitled to full compensation of all damages incurred
as a result of the Renter's failure to fulfil the obligation to provide the Rental Goods at the agreed place and time. Furthermore,
Dehaco shall be entitled and explicitly authorized by the Renter to enter the premises where the Rental Goods are stored in order to
recover these. The Renter shall also bear any costs associated with this.
11.6 Should the Rental Goods be returned in a damaged or unclean state, the Renter shall be liable to Dehaco for the damage and
costs arising as a consequence thereof.
11.7 The Renter shall fully cooperate with Dehaco to enable it to regain possession of the Rental Goods.

be held liable, the Renter shall notify Dehaco of such event without delay and in any case within ten (10) days after such event.
Failure by the Renter to provide written notice in a timely manner shall result in forfeit of the right to compensation for the event in
question. All the Renter’s claims for compensation against Dehaco shall lapse if a legal claim is not subsequently submitted within
three (3) months of the damage-causing event and the timely notification of this event.
13.3 The Renter shall indemnify Dehaco against all third party claims in connection with the Rental Goods that Dehaco has rented to

loss of the Rental Goods if and insofar as the insurance concluded by Dehaco does not offer any cover, e.g. because of the “own
risk” or because the damage, destruction and/or loss of the Rental Goods was caused by gross negligence by the Renter,
