RENTAL AGREEMENT
Rentor hereby rents to the Rentee identified on page 1, the vehicle described, subject to all the terms and provisions of the Agreement.

1. DRIVERS: In no event shall the Vehicle be used, operated or driven by any person other than the Rentee or qualified licensed drivers at least 23 years of age who have Rentor’s advance permission to use the Vehicle and whose names appear as additional drivers on Page 1 hereof:

2. PROHIBITED USE. The Vehicle shall not be used:
1.) for the transportation of persons for compensation;
2.) in any race, test, or competitive event;
3.) outside the Caribbean Netherlands without first obtaining Rentor’s written permission;
4.) by any person not specified in Paragraph 1 above;
5.) in violation of any local laws;
6.) while under the influence of intoxicants or drugs;
7.) to push or tow;
8.) to leave the keys in or not to properly lock up or secure the Vehicle (excluding valet parking);
9.) if further use of the Vehicle would cause damage (i.e. warning light on, flat tire, steam rising from engine);
10.) to carry hazardous or explosive substances;
11.) to transport a total Vehicle and payload weight in excess of the gross Vehicle weight as specified on the Vehicle but the Vehicle payload weight shall not exceed that which is specified on Page 1 hereof;
12.) to drive in or through a structure where there is insufficient clearance, whether of height or width - or off regularly maintained roadways;
13.) to drive Vehicle if cargo is improperly and/or not secured.
IN NO EVENT SHALL RENTEE SUBRENT OR RELEASE THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER PERSON OR CORPORATION. If the Vehicle is obtained from Rentor by fraud or misrepresentation or is obtained or used in furtherance of an illegal purpose, all use of the Vehicle is WITHOUT RENTOR’S PERMISSION. The foregoing conditions are cumulative and each of them shall apply to every use, operation or driving of the Vehicle.

3. RETURN OF VEHICLE: This Agreement is one of rental only. The Vehicle is the property of the Rentor and shall be returned to the Rentor’s address or at a place designated by Rentor and on the date shown on Page 1 or earlier if demanded, together with all tires, tools, accessories, and equipment in the same condition as when received, ordinary wear and tear expected. Failure to return the Vehicle to the place and on the date as set forth in this Agreement, will terminate the Rentor’s permission for the Rentee to use the Vehicle and thus will terminate the extension of all insurance coverage herein provided. If the rented Vehicle is returned to Rentor at any place other than that listed herein, Rentee agrees to pay all expenses incurred by Rentor to have the Vehicle returned. Rentor or any of its agents or employees, may peacefully repossess the Vehicle without demand wherever found and terminate this Rental Agreement if the Vehicle is illegally parked, is used in violation of law, or in violation of the Agreement, or was abandoned. Rentor shall not in any way be liable to Rentee for damages resulting from such repossession nor shall it be responsible for the loss or damage to any property of Rentee contained therein.

4. AMOUNTS DUE RENTOR. Rentee shall pay Rentor on demand: (a) All times and mileage charges as computed on Page 1 of this Agreement with mileage determined by reading the Vehicle odometer or hubodometer. Rentee shall NOT detach the odometer or hubodometer and shall pay for its repair or replacement if any seal has been broken along with a mileage charge adjustment to the average charge developed from Rentor’s experience; (b) basic or minimum rate, service and other changes shown on Page 1 hereof: (c) refueling charge if the Vehicle is returned with less fuel than when rented and, as indicated on Page 1 hereof, the rate does not include fuel; (d) all states, use, excise or other tax charges on page 1 hereof, by Rentor as reimbursement for taxes paid. Rentee is responsible for fuel, weight, and road use permits; (e) all fines, fines for toll violations/invasions, penalties, forfeitures, citations, impound fee, towing and storage, court costs and out-of-pocket expenses plus any other cost incurred by Rentor with respect to Rentee’s use of the Vehicle including parking, traffic, or other violations assessed against Rentor, the Vehicle, or Rentee, unless due to Rentor’s fault; (f) Rentor’s costs and expenses including reasonable attorney fees (unless prohibited by law), incurred in collecting any payments due hereunder or in repossessing the Vehicle; (g) Rentor’s costs and expenses resulting from loss or damage to the Vehicle while on rental, whether or not due to Rentee’s fault. (h) Rentee gives Rentor permission (direct expressed consent, clear, definite and unequivocal) to contact Rentee using any existing technology (or as otherwise provided or limited by applicable law).

5. VEHICLE INSURANCE: Rentor provides liability coverage for persons using the Vehicle with the permission of the Rentor, as provided for in Paragraph 1 thereof (and not otherwise), in accordance with the provisions of an automobile liability insurance policy with limits equal to the minimum requirements of any applicable state financial responsibility law or other similar law or statute. All coverages afforded under this Agreement are applicable only after all other valid and collectible insurance (whether primary, excess or contingent) has been paid and exhausted to the full limits of all such policies. Unless required by law, the policy does not include No- Fault, Supplemental No-Fault, Uninsured/Underinsured Motorists coverage or other optional coverages, and Rentee hereby rejects such coverage to the extent permitted by law. Where such coverages are required by law, they are provided at the minimum required limits.

For Bonaire these limits are $20,000 Per Person Bodily Injury/$40,000 Per Accident Bodily injury/$10,000 Per Accident Property Damage. Such insurance shall be excess over any and all other collectible insurance. Rentee waives uninsured and underinsured motorists, no-fault and all other optional coverages, but if such coverage cannot be excluded or waived, rentee agrees such coverage shall be limited to the minimum requirements of the state. RENTOR’S POLICY SHALL NOT PAY:
(l) to any obligation for which the Rentee or any driver of the Vehicle or the employer of either or any insurance carrier may be held liable under any Worker’s Compensation or disability benefits or similar law;
(2) to any obligation assumed by the Rentee or any driver under any expressed or implied contract;
(3) to any liability of Rentee or any driver, or employer of either, arising while the Vehicle is being used in violation of the terms and provisions of this Agreement;
(4) unless otherwise required by law, to medical payments required by persons sustaining injuries while riding or alighting from or getting into or on the Vehicle.

6. INDEMNITY: Rentee releases and holds Rentor, its agents and employees, harmless from all claims for loss or damage to any property of Rentee or any other person left in, on, or about the Vehicle, either before or after its return to the Rentor or on Rentor’s premises without regard to any negligence by Rentor or any of its agents or employees. Rentee shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Rentor from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, injuries, claims, demands, costs and expenses, arising out of the use or possession of the Vehicle including, but not limited to any and all fines, penalties, and forfeitures imposed under any local law, ordinance, rule, regulation, or insurance policy provision, and to the extent not covered by insurance any claims of, or liabilities to, third persons arising out of the abandonment, conversion, secretion, concealment, or unauthorized sale of the Vehicle by Rentee or its drivers, agents or employees, or the confiscation of the Vehicle by any governmental authority for illegal or improper use of the Vehicle. Additionally, Rentee shall indemnify and hold Rentor harmless for all loss, liability and expense in excess of the limits of liability provided for herein as a result of bodily injury, death, or property damage arising out of the use or operation of the Vehicle.

7. NO AGENCY: Neither Rentee nor any other driver of the Vehicle shall be or is deemed to be the agent, servant, or employee of the Rentor for any reason or for any purpose. During the term of this Agreement, Rentee shall completely assume full responsibility for the Vehicle to the public and any regulatory body having jurisdiction.
