All Users agree to not attempt to hold ReeKar liable or take legal action against ReeKar for such acts or omissions.

8. Renting Process:

A. Linking

Renters can consult the listings posted by Car Owners directly on the Website using the access and search tools provided. Renters may contact the Car Owners by phone to request additional information after the booking.

Once a Renter has found a suitable Vehicle, he/she simply sends a booking request to the Car Owner. Upon this, the Car Owner is notified of the booking request by email and has the option to decide whether or not to accept the renting request:

• If the Car Owner accepts the renting request, the Renter is notified by email and pays the renting price. This payment must be made on the Website, via ReeKar. Note: any offer to pay other than on the ReeKar Website will be considered a violation of these Terms and may result in the suspension or deletion of the User’s account. The renting is confirmed when the payment has been made and the Car Owner has received confirmation by email. ​
• If the Car Owner does not accept the renting, the renter is notified by email.

Once the location is confirmed between the Car Owner and the renter, the Car Owner is obliged to honor his/her lease.

If a Car Owner cancels a confirmed reservation ReeKar reserves the right to exclude him/her from the platform – especially if this cancellation has caused harm to the Renter.

B. Before the Start of the Renting

Once the Service has put them into contact with each other, it is the Users’ responsibility to carry out the necessary verification at the agreed-upon Vehicle pick-up time, including:

• For the Car Owner, these verifications concern the identity of the Renter, the validity of his/her driving license, his/her address, the credit card information, which must be the same as the card used for payment on the Website. The Car Owner may be represented at the start of the renting by a third party duly authorized to conduct these checks;

• ​The Car Owner may in no case turn his/her Vehicle over to the Renter if the latter fails any of these verification. The Car Owner must refuse the renting if:

1. The person wishing to take possession of the Vehicle is not the Renter;
2. The Renter provides a credit card that does not belong to him/her;
3. The Renter provides a driving license that does not authorize him/her to drive in the country where the Vehicle is registered. For this, it is the Car Owner’s responsibility to inquire of the relevant authorities the special provisions concerning the rights of foreigners to drive in that country.

• The Car Owner may in no case turn his/her Vehicle over to the Renter if the latter fails any of these verification’s. The Car Owner must refuse the Renting if:
• The Renter must verify the identity of the Car Owner, the Vehicle registration and its license plates. The Renter must also check the condition of the renting Vehicle, in particular the safety equipment listed in Article 4.A.

At the time of Vehicle pick-up, the Renter and the Car Owner verify, complete and sign the Renting Agreement together.

The Renter agrees to take the utmost care of the rented Vehicle and return it in the same condition it was in when he/she took possession of it. The Renter is liable for any damage caused to the Vehicle during the renting period, i.e. from the time he/she takes possession of it until the time he/she returns it. He/she alone is liable for any violations of the Highway Code that may be committed with the rented Vehicle during the renting period.

At the start of a renting, the Car Owner must deliver a clean Vehicle to the Renter (interior and exterior), except in the case of a last-minute renting.

The Renter agrees to comply with the date and time of return agreed upon with the Car Owner. Any extension of the renting period must be made on the Website under the conditions described in the Renting Agreement.

If the punctured tires must be changed, the Renter shall pay for the replacement of the punctured tires. If the flat tire is due to abnormal wear and tear of the tires, all costs will be borne by the Car Owner.

If the Vehicle has no spare wheel or device to change a flat tire and doesn’t have the option of driving on flat tires, then the costs of the roadside assistance and the tire replacement service will be charged to the Car Owner.

In case the car has the option of driving on flat tires, then it is the responsibility of the Renter to drive to nearest repair shop.

• Any other helpful documents required for the Renting settlement.

The Car Owner has only 7 days at the end of the Renting to upload and submit the above required documents. If not uploaded and submitted, the Renting is considered as completed and the Car Owner has no right to demand any extra charge expense.

The Renter shall review, agree or dispute the submitted amount within 7 days after the Car Owner submission. In case of no action from the Renter’s side, the requested extra charges are accepted and the Renter agrees upon it.

In case of dispute request from the Car Owner’s or the Renter’s side, ReeKar is supposed to review the case and get back to both sides. Penalty and ReeKar administration fees apply.

The Users also have the opportunity to evaluate/rate each other on the Website and/or the Apps. Users can also evaluate each other if the Renting is cancelled.

.

The amount resulting from the Service Fees collected by ReeKar for business networking.

The fees collected by ReeKar as follows:

• ReeKar collects the renting fees and a security deposit when the renting is confirmed;
• At the end of the renting, the Car Owner and the Renter adjust the mileage estimate made at the beginning of the renting via the Website or App. ReeKar then either collects or pays the difference between the amount initially collected and the total price of the transaction, taking into account the mileage adjustments;
• ReeKar pays 80% of the total renting price (and all other extra charges mentioned above) to the Car Owner within 45 business days of the end of the renting and dispute settlement (if any);

ReeKar may suspend payment to the Car Owner if additional verification is required or if the Renter makes a claim/dispute.

In this case, ReeKar will only transfer the money to the Car Owner, if:

• If an agreement is reached between the Car Owner and Renter and both the Car Owner and the Renter can provide proof of this agreement to ReeKar; or
• If a judicial authority has made a binding decision ordering the payment of all or part of the renting price (and other charges mentioned above) to the Car Owner or the return of all or part of that amount to the Renter.

C. Breakdown Management Fees

For any failure under normal use of the Vehicle by the Driver, the Owner is liable for $25 to ReeKar fees.

These breakdown management fees are applied to the Driver if it is held responsible for the failure in the context of an expert commissioned by the Owner.

D. Damage Management Fees

By renting the car, the Renter is agreeing to adhere to all the terms of the Car Owner’s car insurance policy, and is responsible to pay the insurance excess value as defined by the Car Owner’s insurance policy. Also the Renter is responsible, in case of his/her mistake, to pay an additional compensation fee equal to 10% of the car insurance value (paid to Car Owner) plus an administration fee of $50 (paid to ReeKar). This amount doesn’t waive the renter from the other financial and legal responsibilities as defined in these Terms.
