3.3. For bookings made at least seven (7) calendar days prior to the scheduled commencement of the rental, payment of a deposit equal to fifty percent (50%) of the total rental fee constitutes a condition for the final confirmation of the booking. In the event that the deposit is not paid within the time indicated by the Lessor, the booking shall be deemed automatically void.
The remaining fifty percent (50%) of the total rental fee shall be mandatorily paid prior to delivery of the Vehicle. The Lessor reserves the right to refuse delivery in the event of non-full payment.
For the purposes of this agreement, “amount paid” shall mean any amount already paid by the Lessee in respect of the specific booking.

4. Delivery – Return of the Vehicle & Lessee’s Liability
The Vehicle is delivered to the Lessee, who is obliged to inspect it prior to receipt, ascertain its good condition, and receive it unconditionally. The signature hereof constitutes proof both of the delivery of the Vehicle by the Lessor and of its receipt by the Lessee. Upon expiry or in any manner of termination of the rental, the Lessee is obliged to return the Vehicle immediately to the Lessor, at the place of return specified on the front page, together with the vehicle registration document, and all related documents/forms accompanying it, in the condition in which it was received, as well as with the same quantity of fuel with which the Vehicle was supplied at the time of its receipt by the Lessee. Any difference in the quantity of fuel, calculated on the basis of the relevant dashboard indicator, shall be borne by the Lessee and paid upon delivery of the Vehicle by the Lessee to the Lessor, and such charge to the Lessee shall amount to a minimum of ten euros (€10) for the missing quantity of fuel and up to the total value of the missing quantity of fuel.

The Lessee bears the risk for the Vehicle until its receipt by the Lessor. The Lessee shall be liable for any damage/loss to the Vehicle (the vehicle itself or the equipment and accessories delivered to the Lessee according to the front page), and shall therefore compensate the Lessor for any actual and consequential damage thereof so that the latter may repair or replace the Vehicle, as well as replace the equipment and accessories which may have been returned damaged/defective. For the above cases in which charges arise to be borne by the Lessee, the Lessor reserves the right to charge the Lessee’s debit / credit card, on the basis of the details recorded upon receipt of the vehicle, following prior notice and documentation of the relevant debt. Even after the expiry of the Rental, the Lessee expressly agrees to such charges. In the event of delay in returning the Vehicle, the Lessee is obliged to pay to the Lessor the rental fee corresponding to the hours or days of delayed return of the Vehicle, according to the Lessor’s price list in force from time to time, and also to fully compensate the Lessor for any actual and consequential damage thereof. In “Annex A,” which is the front page hereof and forms an integral part hereof, the condition of the Vehicle upon delivery thereof by the Lessor to the Lessee is described in detail, and correspondingly upon the return of the Vehicle to the Lessor by the Lessee. The contents of Annex A are acknowledged by the parties as true.

The Lessee acquires only the right of mere possession and use of the Vehicle in accordance with the terms hereof. It is expressly agreed that the Lessee acquires no right or power to transfer ownership or possession of the Vehicle or to encumber or sublease or grant the use thereof, in whole or in part, with or without consideration, to third parties. The Lessee must immediately notify the Lessor in the event of precautionary measures being taken or enforcement proceedings being expedited against him/her, or in the event of any claim to the Vehicle by third parties. In such case, the Lessee must immediately and properly inform the third parties that the Vehicles do not belong to him/her. The Lessee is not and may in no case be deemed to be the representative or agent of the Lessor.
10. Termination – Breach of Terms – Early Termination
Both the Lessee and any authorized drivers of the Vehicle shall be fully liable, jointly and severally, towards the Lessor for the full and faithful observance of all the terms and provisions hereof. The Lessor may terminate this agreement immediately and without incurring any liability towards the Lessee, by serving relevant written notice upon him/her, if the following serious grounds occur in the person of the Lessee: I) Breach of any of the terms hereof, II) Default of the Lessee with respect to payment of the rental fee or performance of any other financial obligation, III) In the event of fraud or any other criminal offence committed by the Lessee or his/her auxiliaries, which in the Lessor’s reasonable judgment renders the continuation hereof impossible, IV) In the event of use of the Vehicle in breach of the provisions hereof or the provisions of the law and the Road Traffic Code, V) In the event that the Lessee provides the Lessor with false or inaccurate information. In the above cases, the Lessor shall be entitled, at its absolute discretion, either to insist on this agreement or to terminate it, claiming full compensation for any actual or consequential damage thereof. In the event of termination of this agreement, the Lessor shall be entitled to exercise all rights arising from its ownership and possession for the recovery of the Vehicle, and furthermore all debts of the Lessee arising herefrom shall become due and payable.

Upon early termination/cessation hereof, whether by the Lessee or by the Lessor, the Lessee shall continue to owe the total rental fee for the entire duration of the rental, namely also for the remaining period of the rental, by virtue of a fair and reasonable penalty clause in favour of the Lessor.
