Rental conditions

Rental conditions

By placing a rental order with Rento BV (later referred to as ‘lessor’), you agree to the terms and conditions below. These conditions are valid until a new version is drawn up.

1. Machinery and accessories (later referred to as ‘goods’) as stated on the hire contract.
   
2. Rental prices and start-up costs as stated on the rental contract.
   
3. Rental period: The order confirmation states the start date of the rental period. The end date is the date the goods are back at the lessor's warehouse (Heist op den Berg). Billing period is per working day (24h), with a strict minimum of 1 day, unless otherwise agreed in writing. Weekends and official Belgian holidays are not counted. When the 24h is exceeded, an extra working day will automatically start and therefore be charged. After completion of the works, the lessee will always report the hired goods in writing.
   
4. When returning the goods, the lessee must return them in their original packaging as well as properly packed, the goods must be cleaned and free of damage. Any cleaning time and repair costs of damage will be charged.
   
5. Rental prices do not include transport costs. Transport is entirely at the lessee's expense. If the lessor nevertheless has to provide transport for the delivery and/or collection of the goods on location, this is an extra chargeable service. The lessee provides the necessary means to load and unload the goods in a proper and safe manner.
   
6. The lessor undertakes to rent a properly functioning machine, complete as described under point 1. Any defects, which are not the result of careless and injudicious use, shall be reported by the lessee to the lessor within 2 days.
   
7. The lessee shall use the goods carefully and judiciously and maintain them properly. All costs, such as material, labour and travel expenses to repair damage, resulting from the default of the lessee, will be charged to the lessee.
   
8. By renting the goods described in point 1, the lessee acknowledges to be sufficiently trained and informed for their correct and safe use. The manuals do not guarantee correct use if the user is not trained. The lessor is not liable for the work carried out with the rented appliances and accessories.
   
9. The lessor cannot be held liable for damage or accidents caused by the lessee's use of the goods.
   
10. The lessee is fully liable for all damage, loss or theft of the rented goods.
    
11. The lessee is fully legally liable for all damages of any kind caused directly or indirectly to third parties.
    
12. In case of lending to third parties, the lessee remains fully liable. It is not allowed to use the goods as collateral in any way.
    
13. The lessee declares that the hired goods will not leave Belgian territory.
    
14. The lessee authorises, without entitlement to compensation in any form whatsoever, the lessor to unilaterally terminate the hire agreement and to recover the goods, as described under point 1, when: a. The arrears in agreed payment instalments amount to two or more instalments; b. The lessee is declared bankrupt; c. The lessee is liquidated
    
15. Payment should be made within 8 days of the invoice date, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
    The lessor is entitled to invoice on an interim basis.
