The Rental Provider shall then contact the Renter directly to arrange the details of the booking. A booking shall only become valid upon confirmation by the Rental Provider.

4.2. Any preliminary enquiry or request for quotation shall not in itself create a rental relationship.

However, if the Renter refuses to accept the previously agreed and delivered Bicycle at the location for reasons not attributable to the Rental Provider, or cancels the rental on site, the Renter shall be obliged to pay the delivery charge, which the Rental Provider shall also be entitled to deduct from the booking fee.

4.5. By signing the Rental Agreement, the Renter warrants that all information provided by them is true, accurate and up to date.

6. Rental Fee, Security Deposit and Payment

6.1. The rental fee, the Security Deposit, the delivery and collection charges, and the fees for any additional services shall be specified in the Rental Agreement and/or the Price List.

6.3. Payment of the rental fee and the Security Deposit is a prerequisite for handover of the Bicycle.

6.4. The Rental Provider accepts the following methods of payment: cash; bank card; bank transfer; or any other method of payment agreed in advance by the Parties.

6.5. The Security Deposit serves as security for the Renter's contractual obligations. The amount of the Security Deposit shall be specified in the Rental Agreement in accordance with the Price List. The Security Deposit shall be refunded if the Bicycle and its Accessories are returned in accordance with the Rental Agreement, complete, undamaged and on time.

6.6. The Rental Provider shall be entitled to deduct from the Security Deposit any duly documented and reasonable costs, fees and damages arising from the Renter's breach of contract or from circumstances for which the Renter is responsible, including, in particular, repair, replacement, depreciation, cleaning, late return, recovery assistance, call-out, delivery or collection charges and costs. The detailed rules governing liability for damages are set out in Section 15 of these GTC.

If recovery is required due to a technical problem for which the Renter is not responsible, the Rental Provider shall provide recovery assistance free of charge during daytime hours, at a location accessible by motor vehicle and subject to available capacity.

14.2. Unless otherwise agreed, the Rental Provider allows the following grace period: 30 minutes for hourly rentals and 1 hour for daily rentals.

14.3. Where the delay exceeds the applicable grace period, the Rental Provider shall be entitled to charge the late return fee specified in the Price List.

14.5. If the Renter fails to return the Bicycle within 24 hours after expiry of the Rental Period and fails to cooperate with the Rental Provider, the Rental Provider shall be entitled to take the asset-protection, official and legal measures necessary to locate and recover the Bicycle.

14.6. The Rental Period may only be extended with the prior consent of the Rental Provider and subject to availability. The Renter shall discuss any requested extension with the Rental Provider by telephone before expiry of the Rental Period and subsequently confirm the request by e-mail. The extension shall only be deemed accepted if the Rental Provider confirms it by e-mail, issues an invoice for the extension fee and the Renter pays the extension fee specified in the Price List. By submitting a request for an extension, the Renter acknowledges that acceptance of the extension will give rise to an additional payment obligation.

15. Liability, Damage and Allocation of Loss

15.1. The Renter shall be liable for all damages and costs arising from the Renter's breach of contract, improper use by the Renter or User, negligent or intentional conduct, breach of traffic regulations, or breach of the rules concerning use and safeguarding set out in these GTC or the Rental Agreement.

15.2. The Renter's liability includes, in particular, loss of, missing parts of or damage to the Bicycle or its Accessories; circumstances attributable to the Renter in connection with theft or misappropriation; damage to the battery, charger, GPS device or electrical system; damage resulting from improper transportation; and any fines, surcharges or other costs imposed on the Rental Provider where attributable to the conduct of the Renter or User.

15.3. Normal wear and tear resulting from proper use shall not constitute damage.

15.4. The Renter shall be released from liability if they prove that the damage did not result from the conduct of the Renter or User, from improper use of the Bicycle, or from a circumstance within the Renter's sphere of responsibility.

15.5. The amount of damage shall be determined by the Rental Provider on the basis of the nature of the damage, the expected or actual repair or replacement costs, depreciation and, where necessary, a quotation from a service provider or distributor. The Rental Provider shall inform the Renter of the basis of the assessment.

15.6. The Renter shall reimburse the cost of repairing or replacing the Bicycle or any Accessory and, where economical repair is not possible, or in the event of destruction, loss or failure to return it, the replacement value thereof, together with any duly documented related costs.

17.3. The Rental Provider shall be entitled to cancel or amend the rental or advance booking without liability for damages if justified by exceptional weather conditions, technical failure, risk of accident, lack of availability or any other circumstance beyond the Rental Provider's control (force majeure).
