   2. b. By means of the GPS system we read the odometer readings of your vehicle. You do not have to provide us with the odometer reading periodically, which is very convenient. If we do request you to provide us with the odometer reading, you must cooperate immediately.
   3. c. The starting mileage of your lease contract is the mileage of the vehicle at Lease 2.0 location, even if you use our home delivery service. 
   4. d. The final mileage is also the reading at the Lease 2.0 location, even if you wish to use our pick-up service. 
   5. e. If the odometer of your vehicle is defective, you must report this to us within 24 hours. We will determine the number of kilometers driven with a defective odometer together with you.
   6. f. You are prohibited from modifying or having modified the odometer or from influencing or having influencing the operation of the odometer in such a way that the distance indicated on the odometer does not correspond to the distance actually traveled by the vehicle. 
   7. g. You are prohibited from correcting, repairing or replacing the odometer. If the odometer is actually broken and needs to be replaced, you must report this to us immediately. We will report this to the RDW.
   8. h. In the event of a violation of the above paragraph f and/or g, we are bound by the Road Traffic Act 1994 and we will be obliged to report fraud to the police. 

5.2. Additional mileage settlement 

1. 1. a. Your lease contract includes a maximum number of kilometers per year. Do you drive more kilometers than the maximum allowed? Then we will charge you an amount per additional kilometer driven, as stated in your lease contract. 
   2. b. We have the right to settle any additional kilometers driven with you on a monthly basis. When returning the vehicle, a kilometer settlement is always carried out.
   3. c. For mileage settlements, the cumulative excess mileage over the number of months of your lease contract is considered. For example, do you have a maximum mileage of 2,000 per month? And if you drive 1,000 kilometers one month and 3,000 kilometers the next month, you will not pay any excess mileage in the end.

Example Suppose you have a lease contract with a maximum of 2,000 kilometers per month. The price for more kilometers is €0.06.  After 5 months you have driven 8,000 kilometers. According to the contract you were allowed to drive a maximum of 10,000 kilometers (5 times 2,000). Therefore you do not have to pay us anything extra.  In the next 5 months you drive 12,000 kilometers. After 10 months you have driven 20,000 kilometers. We look at what you drive on average per month, not at each month separately. You have driven an average of 2,000 kilometers per month, this falls within the maximum of your lease contract. You therefore do not have to pay for the additional kilometers.  In the following 5 months you drive another 12,000 kilometers. In total, after 15 months, that is 32,000 kilometers. Because the number of kilometers driven is higher than agreed (15 times 2,000 is 30,000), we will charge you for the additional kilometers. The number of additional kilometers is 2,000. You therefore pay us 2,000 times €0.06 (€120).  In the last 5 months you drive 8,000 kilometers. When you return the vehicle after 20 months, the mileage is 40,000. So you have driven an average of 2,000 kilometers per month (40,000 divided by 20), as agreed in the contract. That is why you will receive the €120 you paid us back in full after 15 months. 

5.3. Structurally more kilometers 

1. 1. a. Do you drive (much) more kilometers per month than agreed in your lease contract? Then we can make you a proposal to adjust the lease contract to a higher mileage. 
   2. b. The contract adjustment will be to your advantage. This means that your lease rate will increase less than if you were to receive a monthly one-kilometre bill under your old contract. Due to the contract adjustment, you will pay (with the same number of kilometres) less on balance and better spread over time, instead of high bills afterwards.

5.4. Fewer kilometers 

If you drive fewer kilometers than agreed in your lease contract, these kilometers will not be credited. 

Article 6. Use of the Vehicle 6.1. Careful use

1. 1. a. We expect you to treat the vehicle as a 'good father'. 
   2. b. This means that you use it carefully and properly and ensure that the vehicle remains in good condition. 
   3. c. You use the vehicle for the purpose for which it is intended and equipped. 
   4. d. Any costs incurred as a result will be for your own account.

We will charge you for the costs, mentioned in article 9.3, related to any damage to the vehicle that directly or indirectly results from not complying with this prohibition. The use of a Vape / E-cigarette also falls under smoking.

In the case of serious traffic violations, the police or the Public Prosecution Service may ask us who was driving the vehicle at the time of the violation. It is therefore important that you can indicate who was driving the vehicle, when, otherwise you will be responsible for the (financial) consequences of the violation yourself.
