Artikel 5.  Kilometers 5.1. Mileage 

1. 1. a. By signing your lease contract you agree to the built-in GPS system in your vehicle. 
   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.
   5. e. You are responsible for ensuring that the vehicle is maintained and inspected on time.
   6. f. The vehicle is equipped with telematics, which allows driving behavior to be monitored and we receive a notification in the event of abnormal driving behavior.

6. 2. 6.2. Verbod op roken in de autoHet is te allen tijde strikt verboden om in het voertuig te roken, dit geldt zowel voor u als de inzittende(n). Wij brengen de kosten, genoemd in artikel 9.3, verbonden aan elke schade aan het voertuig die direct of indirect voortvloeit uit het niet naleven van dit verbod, bij u in rekening. Het gebruik van een Vape / E-sigaret valt ook onder roken. 

6. 2. 6.3. Prohibition of telephone use

It is strictly forbidden to hold your phone while driving at all times. The (possible) fine we receive will be charged to you, see article 7.4. 

6.4. Restriction of use 

1. 1. a. The vehicle may not be used for: 

• • • Paid passenger transportation (including Uber);
  • • Courier services;
  • • Driving lessons; 
  • • Subletting/letting;
  • • Transport of dangerous substances;

  • • Activities or places for which the WAM insurer or Casco risk carrier does not provide cover;
  • • Illegal activities.

Suspicion of this will lead to immediate termination of your lease contract.

6.5. Directors 

1. 1. a. Het voertuig mag bestuurd worden door de regelmatig bestuurder als benoemd op uw leasecontract. Wij dienen voordat er gebruik wordt gemaakt van het voertuig in het bezit te zijn van het rijbewijs van de regelmatig bestuurder.

   7. g. De persoon moet uiteraard wettelijk bevoegd zijn en in staat zijn het voertuig te besturen. Wees er van bewust dat u verantwoordelijk bent voor het doen en laten van andere gebruikers, alsof het uw eigen doen en laten is. Bij ernstige verkeersovertredingen kan de politie of het Openbaar Ministerie ons vragen wie het voertuig op het moment van de overtreding bestuurde. Het is daarom belangrijk dat u kunt aangeven wie, wanneer het voertuig bestuurde, anders bent u zelf verantwoordelijk voor de (financiële) gevolgen van de overtreding. 
   8. h. Uitzondering hierop is diefstal en vermissing. U bent niet aansprakelijk voor hetgeen met het voertuig gebeurt na een diefstal of vermissing, mits u de diefstal of vermissing binnen 24 uur aan ons doorgeeft en aangifte doet bij de politie en mits de diefstal van of uit het voertuig niet het gevolg was van het niet goed afsluiten van het voertuig of indien de sleutel(s) onbeheerd waren achtergelaten.
