Also the penalty for the return of the rented vehicle, without the Customer having taken care to carry out the internal cleaning and external washing (which must be strictly carried out by hand) amounts to € 50.00 (fifty) excluding VAT.31. Accidental failures
As contractually stipulated and as previously mentioned in the various points above and specifically in the previous clause no. 6 – INDEMNITY, the Client and/or the lessee of the leased vehicle, expressly exonerate the Lessor and all Group companies, as well as employees and directors, for any damages resulting from the malfunction, accidental failure and as a result of traffic accidents in which the leased vehicle was involved.
It is strictly forbidden for the Client (or the authorized lessee of the leased vehicle) to use the leased vehicle under conditions of breakdown or malfunction of the same, in order to avoid possible dangerous situations for themselves or others. The Client, being no minated custodian of the same and in accordance with the previous clause no. 31 – ORDINARY MAINTENANCE, severely obliged to activate all procedures necessary to restore the vehicle to good working order at its own expense.
If this is not possible, the Client shall activate with the procedure for the return of the faulty leased vehicle, which provides for the immediate return of the same, at the expense and responsibility of the Client and exclusively through the aid of roadside assistance vehicles, to the registered office of the Lessor, or alternatively to the nearest technical service center authorized by the manufacturer of the leased vehicle or location designated by the Lessor.
If the Customer (or the lessee of the leased vehicle) decides on his or her own initiative to no n use roadside assistance and delivers the leased vehicle by his or her own hand, he or she would be in breach of compliance with item no. above. i of clause no. 8 – CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND PROHIBITIONS, making him/herself not only in default, but also solely responsible in full for any damage caused to the leased vehicle, to himself/herself, to property, or to persons, resulting from the use of the malfunctioning vehicle. As a function of such a breach of contract, all insurance coverage lapses and is therefore to be considered null and void, deferring all liability to the Client to the exclusion of nothing.
32. Liability and insurance coverage
INTRODUCTION:
1) In the case of home delivery and/or redelivery of the leased vehicle, the responsibilities (excluding criminal liabilities at the head of the vehicle’s lessee, which are not prescribed by any statute of limitations and are not insurable) of the Client begin with the vehicle’s departure from the Lessor’s garage and end with the vehicle’s return to the Lessor’s garage. Without the domiciliary service, on the other hand, the Client’s responsibilities to the Lessor and to third parties, begin at the same instant that the Client (or the authorized lessee, as well as the delivery delegate, if any) takes possession of the keys (and/or transponder) of the leased vehicle i.e.: on the date described in the paragraph “DELIVERY/RECONSIGNMENT” under the items “Delivery Date” together with the time described in the same paragraph under the item “Hour cons. eff.” (actual delivery time); and shall end as described in the preceding clause no. 16 – RETURN OF THE VEHICLE.
2) All insurance policies lapse and are therefore to be considered null and void if the Client (or the driver of the vehicle) fails to comply with even one condition of this contract. In such a case, all liability falls solely on the Client.
3) In the event of disputes concerning: insurance policies, deductibles, overdrafts, insurance limits, and otherwise any services attached to and connected with the insurance policies shall be settled solely between the Client (or whoever) and the Insurance Company with which the Landlord (or the owner of the vehicle) has entered into the policies. Therefore, the Client indemnifies the Landlord as per the previous clause no. 6 – MANLEVA, and declares that it has read the supplementary attachments provided by the Insurance Company and available free of charge inside each leased vehicle and/or from the Lessor upon simple request.
4) The Client declares that he/she is aware of the deductibles and excesses that the Insurance Company does not compensate and which are, therefore, of his/her own competence and responsibility including parts of the vehicle such as e.g. descriptive but not limited to: interior, to the body under the car, to the wheels, to the tires, for partial or complete breakage of the windows, mobile GPS, car radio, engine, etc. Therefore, any overdraft not paid by the Insurance Company for damages caused to the leased vehicle are the sole responsibility of the Client and will be charged to him in the manner provided in this contract.
5) All insurance policies lapse in the event that the Client (or the return proxy) is without the keys to the rented vehicle or the anti-theft transponder, or has lost them (including as a result of theft/robbery). In this regard, the Client accepts any first-person risk, being aware that he/she is solely responsible in case of theft/robbery/fire, partial or total loss of the rented vehicle.
6) Insurance policies do not apply for theft/robbery/fire of the leased vehicle in the following regions: Campania, Apulia, Calabria, Basilicata, and Sicily which are considered high risk for theft/robbery.
7) No policy covers theft of one’s belongings left in the leased vehicle and accessories (fixed and movable) of the car. These responsibilities remain the sole responsibility of the Client. Notwithstanding these premises (from 1 to 7 of this clause), under conditions of full compliance with this contract, the Customer has the option to limit its liabilities by adhering to special supplementary insurance agreements.
These agreements in no way eliminate or limit any criminal liability of the Client and the driver of the vehicle, which are governed by Italian Law and, in the case of expatriation, by local laws. Supplementary agreements that limit the Client’s liability are:
a) R.C.A.: This policy limits the Client’s liability for damages caused, through the operation of the leased vehicle, to persons or property. This policy provides that the Client shall pay to the Landlord a fixed overdraft (fixed deductible) in the event of a road accident through its own fault of € 350.00 (three hundred and fifty) V.A.T. excluded for each claim caused open by the Insurance Company. Tal e policy has a variable ceiling, which the Client claims to know, depending on the leased vehicle. Exceeding this ceiling, the Insurance Company will not reimburse any kind of damage caused by the Client. Therefore, responsibilities will fall again and fully on the Client.
(b ) P.A.I.: This policy covers any damages of physical insult to the driver, as a result of road accidents with identified vehicles, which occurred through his own responsibility and through driving the leased vehicle. This policy has a maximum amount that the Client declares that he/she knows.

This policy limits the Client’s economic liability, with respect to the leased vehicle, for damage that He caused to the leased vehicle through His own fault, only as a result of a traffic accident with certain and identified vehicles (i.e., so-called “Kasko Collision”). This policy provides for estimating the damage done to the leased vehicle, opening a claim for each damage done. Then sets the single deductible equal to 20 percent (twenty percent) of each individual damage caused to the vehicle, with the respective minimum overdraft fixed, each, at € 3,000.00 (three thousand). They are, also, at the expense of the Client any uncovered amounts not compensated by the Insurance Company that the Client declares to be aware of.

In case of failure of the Client to adhere to the said policy, the Client obliged to pay compensation for any damage, even if on its own initiative the Landlord subscribed to the activation of the same. This policy not applicable if the leased vehicle is a motorcycle. In addition, this policy lapses as a direct result of the Client’s breach of contract.
d) S.C.D.W.: (i.e.: Super C.D.W.) This policy finds the same application as the previous C.D.W. policy, limiting, however, the deductible and the minimum uncovered amount for each and every claim opened as a result of damage caused to the leased vehicle to 10% (ten percent) and € 1,500.00 (one thousand five hundred), respectively. This optional policy may be opted by the Client by affixing “YES” in the relevant choice box in the “INSURANCE” section of the “Leased Means” paragraph. If nothing is specified on that box or there is “NO” on the copy of the contract held by the Landlord, this policy is not active. The Customer who does not adhere to such a policy is obligated to indemnify in full, damage caused to the leased vehicle, induced damage as described in clause no. above. 11 – LUCRO CESSANTE, and any incidental expenses and/or charges. In case of failure of the Client to adhere to the said policy, the Client obliged to pay compensation for any damage, even if on its own initiative the Landlord subscribed to the activation of the same. This policy not applicable if the leased vehicle is a motorcycle. In addition, this policy lapses as a direct result of the Client’s breach of contract.
(e) T.P.: that is, the policy best known by the name “theft/fire” policy. This policy limits the economic liability of the Client, to the leased vehicle, for any theft of the vehicle or fire of the same. This agreement provides for a deductible equal to 20% (twenty percent) of the value of the car at the time of signing this contract (optional extras and moving parts excluded at the sole expense of the Customer to the extent of 100%), with a minimum overdraft of € 5,000.00 (five thousand). Any overdraft not compensated by the insurance that the Client declares to be aware of shall remain at all times and in full charge of the Client. This optional policy may be opted by the Client by affixing “YES” in the relevant choice box in the “INSURANCE” section of the “Leased Means” paragraph. If nothing is specified on this box or “NO” is affixed to it on the copy of the contract held by the Lessor, or in the event that the Client is not in possession of the keys or transponder of the leased vehicle, this policy shall not activate; therefore, the Client shall be obligated to indemnify in full, the discounted value of the leased vehicle, the induced damages as described in the preceding clause no. 11 – LUCRO CESSANTE, and any incidental expenses and/or charges. In case of failure of the Client to adhere to the said policy, the Client obliged to pay compensation for any damage, even if on its own initiative the Landlord subscribed to the activation of the same. In addition, this policy lapses as a direct result of the Client’s breach of contract.
f) S.T.P.: This policy finds the same application as the previous T.P. policy, however, limiting the deductible and minimum overdraft to 10% (ten percent) and € 2,500.00 (two thousand five hundred) respectively. Any overdraft not compensated by the insurance that the Client declares to be aware of shall remain at all times and in full charge of the Client. This optional policy may be opted by the Client by affixing “YES” in the relevant choice box in the “INSURANCE” section of the “Leased Means” paragraph. If nothing is specified on this box or “NO” is affixed to it on the copy of the contract held by the Lessor, or in the event that the Client is not in possession of the keys or transponder of the leased vehicle, this policy shall not activate; therefore, the Client shall be obligated to indemnify in full, the discounted value of the leased vehicle, the induced damages as described in the preceding clause no. 11 – LUCRO CESSANTE, and any incidental expenses and/or charges. In case of failure of the Client to adhere to the said policy, the Client obliged to pay compensation for any damage, even if on its own initiative the Landlord subscribed to the activation of the same.
