Article 9- INSURANCE

9.1 Compulsory Insurance - Civil liability (Article L.211-1 of the French Insurance Code) All vehicles rented by the Lessor are covered by civil liability insurance in accordance with the regulations in force. Under article R.211-5 of the French Insurance Code, “the obligation of insurance applies to the repair of bodily injury or material damage resulting, on the occasion of the circulation: (1) accidents, fires or explosions caused by the vehicle, the accessories and products used for its use, the objects and substances it carries: (2) the fall of such accessories, objects, substances or products”. Subject to compliance with their obligations under these GTC, the Customer and any Authorized Driver are therefore guaranteed against the financial consequences of their liability for bodily injury or material damage caused to third parties (including passengers of the vehicle) and in whose realization the rented vehicle is involved. The Customer or any Authorized Driver, in driver’s position at the time of the accident, is not covered by this warranty. Damage to the vehicle is also not covered by compulsory liability insurance. In this respect, the Customer or any Authorized Driver has the opportunity to limit his liability as it will be set out in Article 10. Mandatory Insurance Liability does not apply: for damage caused by the Customer or any Authorized Driver to their agents or employees with the rented vehicle, for damage suffered by the persons transported when their transport is not carried out in sufficient security conditions as described in article A.211-3 of the Insurance Code, if, at the moment of the incident, the driver’s license of the Customer or that of any Authorized Driver, if he is driving, is not valid or has been withdrawn, in general, from events excluded from the guarantee by articles R.211-10 and R.211-11 of the French Insurance Code, in case of inalienable or fraudulent fault in the sense of the Article L.113-1 of the Insurance Code, of fraud, in the event of false intentional declaration in the coordinates indicated on the Lease Agreement or the amicable report. In the event of non-compliance with the obligations resulting from the GTC, the Customer or any Authorized Driver is required to return to the Lessor any sum or compensation that the Renter would have paid to a third party on behalf of the Customer in the event of death or personal injury and/or materials suffered by the third party. 

Article 10- LOSS AND DAMAGE CAUSED TO THE VEHICLE

10.1 Principle of responsibility of the Customer and any Authorized Driver

The Customer and any authorized driver respond, in accordance with the provisions of the Article 1732 of the Civil Code, of the loss and damage caused to the vehicle during the rental. The responsibility of any Customer or any Authorized Driver may include the amount of repairs assessed by an expert or invoiced by a mechanic, the market value of the vehicle, a vehicle immobilization allowance and any other incidental expenses related to loss or damage caused by the vehicle rented during the lease ( such as, for example, vehicle storage costs, expert fees, file management fees, etc) as well as the costs of cleaning made necessary by a state of excessive dirt of the vehicle up to 150 euros. However, a deductible remains due for any accident with third party liability from 50% to 100% regardless of the damage suffered. Similarly, a degradation or accident without third party entails the responsibility of the renter except when a renter can prove that the event was not in entirely in their control.  It should be noted that the amount of the damage constitutes the financial value of the damage suffered by the renter as a result of the damage, destruction or theft of a vehicle rented by the lessee. Consequently, any sum claimed by the lessor for damages affecting the rented vehicle is a compensation of the processing fee. In the absence of the completion of the repairs, the estimated amount of their cost will remain due to the renter by the way of indemnity because of the decrease in the market value of the vehicle. Warning: the vehicles of the Lessor are not systematically covered by insurance guarantees other than those resulting from legally binding insurance. Thus, depending on the circumstances, risks such as theft or damage to the vehicle itself may affect the Customer and any Authorized Driver, so that they may be required to refund the market value of the vehicle if necessary at the moment of the accident ( leaving the keys in the vehicle for example). Against payment for a price supplement, the Lessor agrees that this liability of the Customer or any Authorized Driver is limited and/or excluded ( “Optional Liability Limitations”). These optional liability limitations, the conditions of which are set out in Article 10.2 below, are not insurance. 10.2 Limitations of optional liability.

Franchise will be billed by the renter for each damage. 10.2.2 Limitation of Liability of Damage to Tires and Windows (“Tires and Glass Protection” - “GT”) As is apparent from Article 10.2.1 of the present GTC, damage to tires and windows are excluded from Damage Protection. By subscribing to the Optional Limitation of Liability Icebreaker and Tire Protection at the conclusion of the Rental Contract, the Customer agrees to pay an additional price per rental day ( per twenty-four hours (24) non breakable) following the tariff in force. He shall then with any Authorized Driver , grant exemption from liability for damage to the tires (excluding rims), vehicle windows (windshield,side windows,rear windows) and mirrors outside and inside mirrors. 10.2.3 Causes of Exclusion from the Limitation of Liability “Flight and Collision Protection- LDW” and “Tire and Glass Protection  “GT” These Limitations of Liability do not apply: In case of intentional or negligent fault within the meaning of Article L.113-1 of the French Insurance Code, in the case of negligence or carelessness characterized by the Customer or the Authorized Driver of a limitation of liability for material damage to the vehicle and its accessories and equipment, and in case of theft up to an amount specified in the Rental Agreement up to the total exemption according to the complementary option subscribed (“the Franchise theft and collision” ). “Ice Break” and “tire” damage are not covered by LDW.
