General Rental Conditions of BELAT BVBA, Industrieterrein Kanaal-Noord 1413, B-3960 Bree
The rental is entered into under the terms and conditions mentioned below, unless deviations and/or additions are accepted by us in writing.
1. Duration of the rental.
a) the rental starts:
- either at the moment the renter or his agent takes possession of the rented item.
- or at the moment the rented item is handed over to a transporter.
If it has been agreed that the rented item should be delivered on a certain day by the landlord or a transporter appointed by him, the renter is liable to ensure that he or someone else is present at the agreed time and place for receiving it. Otherwise, the landlord has the right either to take back the rented item and charge the transport costs to the renter, or to deliver the item at the agreed place. The renter, who fails to collect the rented item or take delivery of it at the agreed time, remains bound by the rental agreement for the agreed period or a period at least equal to the one he has indicated as the probable duration of the rental. Promises regarding the time of delivery by the lessor are only indicative and do not provide grounds for dissolution of the contract, nor for compensation.
b) the rental ends:
- when it has been expressly agreed for a specific period, on the agreed date. - if a probable end date or duration has been specified, the rental ends only on that date provided the renter notifies this in writing via email or registered mail to the landlord, and/or at the moment of the return of the goods at the landlord's warehouses, as provided below
- in all other cases, on the day of return at the landlord's warehouses, provided that this is done within office hours and against delivery by the landlord of a written discharge.
- However, the landlord has the right, when no specific end date has been agreed, or when the probable rental period is exceeded, to terminate the rental at any time, subject to notice by registered letter or e-mail at least a week in advance. The term of a week starts the day after the registered letter was posted, or the fax or email was sent, and ends on the same day one week later, This last day included in the notice period., After the expiration of the notice period, the rental is irrevocably terminated.
c) As soon as the rental period has ended, the renter is automatically and without any demand deemed to be in default to return the rented goods. From that moment, the landlord has the right to either demand that the renter returns the rented goods or to have the rented retrieved, without having to resort to the courts, wherever it might be located. All costs such as disassembling, loading, transporting, unloading, etc., are fully borne by the renter. For each day of delay in the return of the rented items, the renter will owe compensation at least equal to the normal rental price for one day, without prejudice to the landlord's right to claim additional damages.
d) The renter is reminded that he can never become the owner of the rented item and that failure to return it at the agreed or described time is punishable as breach of trust.
2. Risk.
a) Only the renter bears the risk for loss or damage to the rented item during the entire rental period, including during transport there and back. The renter carries full responsibility for his own transportation of the rented equipment and cannot hold the landlord accountable for any inappropriate transportation and resulting damage. The renter and his delegate undertake to inform the landlord within 24 hours of the following events:
- theft of the rented item;
- damage by third parties;
- judicial seizure, or seizure by creditors;
- bankruptcy.
b) The landlord delivers goods in perfect maintenance condition. Upon receipt, the renter must check this and also the operation of the item. Acceptance by him or his agent therefore counts as acceptance of the rented good, in good working condition. In case of shipping, when the receipt did not occur on the spot and the landlord did not exercise his right to retake the goods, the renter must submit any protest by registered letter or email, which must be sent, on penalty of forfeiture, no later than 24 hours after delivery at the agreed place, excluding Sundays and public holidays. The renter accepts that, if he was not present at the agreed time of delivery, he thereby takes on the burden of proof that the deficiency or the damage did not occur after the delivery.
c) The renter is liable for returning the rented item in the same condition as he received it. Irrespective of his recourse against third parties, he is liable for any loss, damage, discrepancy, depreciation, etc. in the broadest sense (including, for example, any loss of rental income due to unusability for the duration of any repairs the landlord must carry out), without being able to invoke fault or intent of third parties, chance or force majeure against the landlord. Given the necessities of the business, the landlord is not always able to immediately inspect the goods that are returned. The renter therefore accepts that the landlord has a reasonable period at his disposal, in proportion to the size and number of returned goods, which is not shorter than 5 working days starting the first day following the return of the goods, to inspect the returned goods for damage other than that visible at first glance, and to inform the renter about his findings in terms of damage, depreciation, etc. He does this by registered letter or email, in which the renter is invited, within a timeframe of 5 working days, to come and determine the damage at the landlord's warehouses in a contradictory manner. If the renter does not respond after the expiration of this term, this is considered as acceptance. The landlord is then authorized to proceed with immediate repair or replacement and to charge the costs, as well as all additional damage items to the renter.
d) The renter is also, over the entire rental period, liable for the damage or inconvenience that the rented item, or its use, even if not faulty, would cause to third parties or himself. He will indemnify the landlord for any claims that would be directed against it based on damage caused with or by the rented item.
e) In case the renter cannot return the rented item to the landlord at the end of the rental period due to loss, theft or total destruction, he owes the landlord the new value at the date of loss, theft or total destruction, taking into account loss, theft or total destruction.
f) If desired, the customer can take out machinery breakage insurance. This can only be done at the start of the rental contract. The premium amounts to 20% of the rental sum. Covered risks: Machinery breakage during the rental period as well as damage to the rental equipment during transportation. Theft, deliberately caused damage, and loss of rental are NOT insured and remain the responsibility of the customer. Region: Belgium and the surrounding countries. Deductible: 20% of the damage amount with a minimum of 50.00 and a maximum of 2000.00 excl. VAT. If the customer does not agree with the size of the damage amount, an expert will be appointed.
3. Rental price and payment conditions.
a) The rental continues on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays.
b) The renter must pay a sum in advance as a guarantee. The due date is the day the rental starts. If circumstances suggest that the renter will not be able to meet his payment obligations (bankruptcy, payment delays, etc.), the landlord has the right, at the cost of the renter, to retrieve the rented item(s) wherever they may be located, and to immediately dispose of them again. The renter can under no circumstances invoke any suffered damage such as loss of profit, etc.
c) If a deviation from the above method has been expressly and in writing allowed by the landlord, the rent is billed at the end of the month of delivery and every following month. Our invoices are payable in cash at the company's headquarters.
d) All amounts due by the renter to the landlord are increased by law and without a default notice with interest at the rate of 10% per year from the date they become due. Furthermore, in case of non-payment at latest 15 days after the date of becoming due, by law and without default notice, a conventional and irreducible compensation of 10% of the due amount must be paid, however with a minimum of €125.00. An equivalent compensation (10% on the amounts to be paid) applies to the renter if the landlord defaults in returning the amounts due to the renter under the guarantee within 30 days following the termination of the agreement, except in case of dispute concerning the renter's compliance with his obligations.
e) Payments are made at the landlord's headquarters.
f) Each invoice is deemed accepted unless protested by registered letter within a week of its date.
4. Deposit.
The deposit is intended to cover various obligations of the renter. It must be paid upon concluding the contract. It must never be regarded as an advance on the rent and must only be returned to the renter after it has been shown that the renter has fulfilled all his obligations. The guarantee never entitles to interests. Any refund does not imply waiver of any right of the landlord.
5. Usage guidelines.
Under reminder of what has been agreed under 2 and without this enumeration being intended as complete, the renter is reminded of the following obligations, which he must comply with considering the nature and type of the rented device:
- The renter is obligated to protect the rented item from overloading and damage and to ensure that maintenance is expertly and professionally done according to the usage instructions; The renter expressly declares to have received these at the signing of this agreement.
- he must use the equipment in good working conditions
- he must professionally connect the electrical equipment to the grid at the correct voltage;
- he must comply with all legal and regulatory provisions regarding the use, operation, or possession of the rented equipment, avoiding inconvenience, etc. From the start of the rental to the return, he alone bears all costs and risks that possession or use of it entails.
- He will indemnify the landlord for any claims or assaults of that nature.
- The renter is required to allow all legally or regulatorily imposed control measures to take place, without any intervention by the landlord.
6. Miscellaneous provisions.
a) It is forbidden for the renter, except with written permission from the landlord, to sublet or lend the rented item, or to hand it over to third parties under any condition.
b) The rental is only allowed for Belgian territory and any movement of the rented item outside the country borders is prohibited.
c) When maintenance or repair work becomes necessary due to normal wear and tear, the renter must immediately inform the landlord. The landlord carries out the work as soon as possible. The renter has no right to compensation based on any interruption for maintenance and/or repair in the use of the rented item and also derives no right from it to dissolve the rental agreement. If the landlord cannot repair the rented item within a reasonable period, his liability is limited to a maximum of the rental price during the period that the item has been idle for repair. The renter may not carry out or have carried out any repair work himself, but must report any work to be carried out to the landlord. Work that became necessary due to improper use or negligence of the renter or due to force majeure or acts of third parties, must be paid by the renter.
d) Transport.
As mentioned under 2a), all costs are borne by the renter.AUTO_CORRECT{ prompt: Provided is a Dutch text with HTML-tags. Translate this text in English and keep HTML-tags. Don't change or translate URL's or links to other pages.### Plain Text
