4. Condition and Return of Vehicle. You must return the Vehicle to our rental office or other location we identify, on the date and time specified in this Agreement, and in the same condition that you received it, except for ordinary wear.

5. Responsibility for Damage or Loss; Reporting to Police; Responsibility for Fees; Responsibility for Optional Equipment. You are responsible for all damage to, and for loss or theft of, the Vehicle including damage caused by collision, weather, road conditions and acts of nature, even if you are not at fault. You are responsible for the cost of repair, or the actual cash retail value of the Vehicle on the date of the loss if the Vehicle is not repairable or if we elect not to repair the Vehicle. You are also responsible for Loss of Use (without regard to fleet utilization), Diminished Value, and our administrative expenses incurred processing a claim. You must report all accidents and incidents of theft and vandalism to us and the police as soon as you discover them. You are responsible for paying the charging authorities directly all parking citations, toll fees, fines for toll evasion, and other fees, fines and penalties assessed against you, us, or the Vehicle during this rental. If you fail to pay any of these charges and we pay any part of them, you will reimburse us for all such charges and, in addition, pay us an administrative fee of up to $40 for each such charge. For rentals with pick-up locations in the state of California, we will be responsible for any fines assessed against you, us, or the Vehicle that are based solely on the Vehicle’s lack of toll transponder. Your responsibility for damage to or loss of the Vehicle is limited by law in the following jurisdictions:

This Paragraph 5 applies to the fullest extent permitted by New Jersey law and does not relieve us of responsibility or liability imposed by New Jersey law, including the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act or from any implied warranty of fitness under New Jersey law.

a. Optional Equipment. Upon request and subject to availability, we offer certain Optional Equipment, including but not limited to, Child Seats and Global Positioning Devices, for your use during the rental at an additional charge. All Optional Equipment is rented AS IS and must be returned to us at the end of the rental in the same condition as when rented. Optional Equipment is not part of the car. You are responsible for any loss or damage to any Optional Equipment regardless of the cause, even if you have accepted LDW or PDW. You should review the operational instructions for all Optional Equipment before leaving the rental location. If you rent a Child Seat from us, you have the sole responsibility to inspect and properly install the seat yourself. We make no warranties, express, implied or apparent, regarding the Child Seat or any other Optional Equipment, no warranty of merchantability, and no warranty that the Child Seat or any other Optional Equipment is fit for a particular purpose. You are responsible for all injury or damage arising out of, or related to your use of the Child Seat, or any other Optional Equipment. If you choose to rent a Global Positioning Device (“GPS”) from us, you are responsible for returning it in the same condition as when rented with all accessories provided, including the carrying case, the car charger, the windshield mount, and, in states where provided, the console beanbag mount (“GPS Accessories”). If the GPS or GPS Accessories are lost or damaged so as to, in our sole opinion, require repair or replacement, you will pay us the fair market value for its repair or replacement.

6. Loss Damage Waiver; Prohibited Use of the Vehicle; Roadside Assistance. LDW and PDW are not insurance, are optional, and may duplicate other coverage that you have. If you purchase LDW or PDW, we waive your responsibility for the portion of damage to or loss of the Vehicle that is stated on the Face Page. PDW is not available if you pick-up your rental in the states of California, Colorado, Minnesota, Nevada, Oregon, or Virginia. We will not waive your responsibility, even though you purchased LDW or PDW, if you gave us false, fraudulent or misleading information prior to the rental or during the rental, and we would not have rented the Vehicle to you or extended the rental period, if we were given true information; or if you fail to notify us and the police of an accident, theft or vandalism involving the Vehicle, or if damage to or loss of the Vehicle is the result of a prohibited use, including damage or loss that: (a) is caused by anyone who is not an Authorized Driver; (b) is caused by anyone under the influence of a drug or alcohol; (c) occurs while the Vehicle is used during the commission of a felony or other crime, other than a minor traffic violation; (d) occurs while carrying persons or property for hire, while pushing or towing anything, during any race, speed test or contest, or while teaching anyone to drive; (e) results from carrying dangerous, hazardous, or illegal material; (f) results from use of the Vehicle outside the geographic area specified on the Face Page, or from use in Mexico; (g) is caused by driving on unpaved roads; (h) occurs while transporting more persons than the Vehicle has seat belts, while carrying persons outside the passenger compartment, or while transporting children without approved child safety seats as required by law; (i) occurs when the odometer has been tampered with or disconnected; (j) occurs when the Vehicle’s fluid levels are low, or it is otherwise reasonable to expect you to know that further operation would damage the Vehicle; (k) is caused by carrying anything on the roof, trunk or hood of the Vehicle, or by inadequately secured cargo inside the Vehicle, or by an animal transported in the Vehicle; (l) occurs when the Vehicle is unlocked, or the keys or key fob are lost, stolen or left in the Vehicle when not operating it; (m) is caused, where applicable, by anyone who lacks experience operating a manual transmission; (n) results from failure to allow sufficient height or width clearance; (o) results from your willful, wanton or reckless act or misconduct; (p) results from fueling with a type of fuel improper for the specific Vehicle; or (q) results from driving or operating the Vehicle while using a hand-held wireless communication device or other device that is capable of receiving or transmitting telephonic communications, electronic data, mail or text messages while not in a hands-free mode. In the event of a loss due to theft of the Vehicle, we will not waive your responsibility for the loss unless you return to us all the Vehicle keys or ignition devices we gave you at the time of rental.

FOR RENTALS WITH PICK-UP LOCATIONS IN MASSACHUSETTS -- NOTICE: This contract offers, for an additional charge, a Loss Damage Waiver to cover your financial responsibility for damage to the rental vehicle. Your personal automobile insurance may already cover you for damage to a rental car. The purchase of a Loss Damage Waiver is optional and may be declined. For Massachusetts residents: If you have an automobile policy on your personal vehicle with coverage for collision, your policy will cover collision damage to the rental vehicle, less the deductible on your policy. If you have comprehensive coverage on your vehicle, your policy will cover loss on the rental vehicle caused by fire, theft or vandalism, less the deductible on your policy. Drivers who hold policies in other states should check with their insurance agents to determine whether their policies extend to rental vehicles.

 Even if you purchase LDW or PDW, your LDW or PDW will be invalidated, and you will be responsible for damage or loss of the Vehicle if damage or loss: (a) is caused intentionally, willfully or wantonly by an Authorized Driver; (b) occurs while an Authorized Driver operates the rental vehicle while legally intoxicated or under the influence of any illegal drug or chemical as defined or determined under the law of the state in which the damage occurred; (c) is caused while an Authorized Driver is engaging in any speed contest; (d) is caused while an Authorized Driver is using the Vehicle to push or tow anything or using the Vehicle to carry persons or property for hire, unless expressly authorized in the rental agreement; (e) is incurred while an Authorized Driver is driving outside the United States or Canada, unless expressly authorized in the rental agreement; (f) is incurred while the Vehicle is driven, with the renter’s permission or accession, by anyone other than an Authorized Driver; (g) is incurred after the Vehicle was rented or an Authorized Driver was approved as a result of fraudulent information provided to the rental company; (h) is incurred as a result of commission of a felony by an Authorized Driver.

a. Lost or Damaged Keys or Key Fobs. Even if you purchase LDW or PDW and do not violate the terms detailed in paragraph 6 above, you will be responsible for the following: a) a service fee for replacing the keys or key fob and delivering replacement keys or key fobs or towing the Vehicle to the nearest C&M location if you lose the keys or key fob to the Vehicle; and b)a service fee for delivering replacement keys or key fob or towing the Vehicle to the nearest C&M location if you lock the keys or key fob in the Vehicle and request assistance from C&M, flat tire service, and jumpstarts.

b. Roadside Assistance Protection. Roadside assistance is available to all renters. In some cases, we may offer additional Roadside Assistance Protection. If you purchase the optional Roadside Assistance Protection, we will provide you with 24/7 breakdown assistance (where available) without additional charge. Roadside Assistance Protection includes replacement of lost keys or key fobs, flat tire service, jumpstart, and key lockout services. Cost of a replacement tire is not covered by Roadside Assistance Protection. If you do not purchase Roadside Assistance Protection, you may incur additional costs if we provide the services described above. When deciding whether to purchase Roadside Assistance Protection, you may wish to check whether you have other coverage for the services. Roadside Assistance Protection is not insurance and is optional. Roadside Assistance Protection is void if you are in breach of this agreement, including the prohibited uses in Paragraph 6.

7. Prohibited Uses. Where permitted by law, the following, in addition to the prohibitions listed above in the Loss Damage Waiver section, unless granted permission by C&M, shall be considered prohibited uses of the Vehicle (“Prohibited Uses”):

• By anyone without first obtaining C&M’s written consent;

• By anyone who is not a qualified and licensed driver;

• To carry persons or property for hire, livery, On-Demand service, or Transportation Network

Company (Uber, Lyft, etc.);

• To propel or tow any vehicle, trailer or other object;

• In any race, test or contest;

• For any illegal purpose or in the commission of a crime;

• To instruct an unlicensed person in operation of vehicle;

• If the vehicle is obtained from C&M by fraud or misrepresentation;

• To carry persons other than in the passenger compartment of the Vehicle;

• Loading the vehicle beyond its rated capacity;

• While under the influence of alcohol or other intoxicants such as drugs or narcotics or under any

other physical or mental impairment which adversely affects the driver’s ability to operate the

Vehicle;

• Intentionally causing damage to or loss of the Vehicle;

• On other than a paved road or graded private road or driveway; and

• In an unsafe, reckless, grossly negligent, or wanton manner. Violating a traffic law or receiving a

ticket in an accident is not automatically a violation of this provision, but may be an indication that

a violation of this provision has occurred.

• Younger than the minimum age set forth in this agreement

Prohibited use of the Vehicle violates this agreement, voids all liability and other insurance coverage (where permitted by law), makes Vehicle subject to immediate recovery by C&M, and makes you responsible for all loss of or damage to or connected with the Vehicle, regardless of the cause, including but not limited to C&M’s expenses, including loss of use.

8. Insurance. Unless you have purchased Supplemental Liability Insurance or Business Travel Protection from us, YOU AGREE TO MAINTAIN AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE during the term of this rental agreement, providing the owner, the renter, and any other person using or operating the rental vehicle with the following primary coverage: a) Bodily injury (“BI”) and property damage (“PD”) liability coverage; b) Personal injury protection (“PIP”), no-fault, or similar coverage where required; c) Uninsured/underinsured (“UM”/”UIM”) coverage where required, and d) Comprehensive and collision damage coverage extending to the rental vehicle. Customer’s insurance will provide at least the minimum limits of coverage required by the financial responsibility (“FR”) laws of the state where the loss occurs. Because the customer is providing automobile insurance, we are not. In states where the law requires us to provide insurance, we will provide excess insurance only, up to the minimum limits required by the FR laws of the state where the loss occurs. The customer’s insurance will be primary. Any insurance we are required to provide applies to claims of BI and PD only. Our policy contains exclusions, conditions, and limitations applicable to anyone claiming coverage. Customer agrees to cooperate with our insurer if any claim is made. Our insurance applies only in the United States and Canada. Customer must obtain written permission and purchase special liability insurance to use or operate the rental vehicle in Mexico. Where permitted by law, You reject UM, UIM, supplemental, PIP, and no-fault coverages. Where we are required to provide any such coverage, You are afforded the minimum limits required by law. Any breach of this rental agreement will void any insurance coverage. You understand that you are not an additional insured underC&M’s insurance for collision, upset and comprehensive damage to the Vehicle.

9. Charges and Costs. You will pay us at or before the conclusion of this rental, or on demand, all charges due us under this Agreement, including the charges and fees shown on the Face Page and: (a) a mileage charge based on our experience if the odometer is tampered with; (b) any taxes, surcharges or other government-imposed fees that apply to the transaction; (c) all expenses we incur locating and recovering the Vehicle if you fail to return it, return it to a location or office other than the location or office identified by us, or if we elect to repossess the Vehicle under the terms of this Agreement; (d) all costs including pre- and post-judgment attorney fees we incur collecting payment from you or otherwise enforcing or defending our rights under this Agreement;

(g) a reasonable fee not to exceed $500 to clean the Vehicle if returned substantially less clean than when rented or if there is evidence of smoking or vaping in our Vehicle; and, (h) towing, impound, storage charges, forfeitures, court costs, penalties and all other costs we incur resulting from your use of the Vehicle during this rental. Special rental rates, vehicle category upgrades or any equipment or services provided to you free of charge only apply to the initially agreed upon rental period: If you return the Vehicle after the Due-In Date, you may be charged the standard rates for each day (or partial day) after the Due-In Date, which may be substantially higher than the rates for the initially agreed rental period. You also may be charged the standard fees for each day (or partial day) after the Due-In date for any equipment or services provided to you without charge for the initially agreed upon rental period. You will not receive a refund of prepaid amounts if you return the Vehicle before the Due-In Date. All Charges are subject to a final audit. If errors are found, you authorize us to correct the Charges with your payment card issuer.

If a reservation is for a period in excess of twenty-eight (28) consecutive days, such reservation shall be governed by the following. Such reservation shall consist of consecutive rentals for individual terms of no more than twenty-eight (28) days each (“Rental Period”), but consecutively lasting for a period of time equal to the reservation period (“LT Reservation Period”). Each Rental Period is a separate rental, distinct from any other Rental Period during the LT Reservation Period. Subsequent rental agreements will be sent to You via email. You must review, electronically sign, and provide the Vehicle’s current mileage for each subsequent rental agreement. You acknowledge that a separate authorization equal to the rental agreement’s gross total plus the security deposit will be processed for every rental agreement in the LT Reservation Period. Further, if the authorization fails, You will be required to provide a different payment method. A C&M representative will contact You via phone call and email for three consecutive days, or until You are reached, or You contact C&M back. The first two days, You will be informed about the failed authorization. On the third day of no response, You will be informed the vehicle must be returned at a C&M location within 24 hours. Otherwise, the Vehicle will be considered overdue and the overdue process will commence. Each rental during the LT Reservation Period will be charged the same time and mileage rate as set forth in the reservation for the initial Rental Period. You acknowledge that at any time You agree to a revised agreement, such revised agreement will govern each remaining Rental Period.

10. Deposit. You permit us to reserve against your credit or debit card at the beginning of the rental an amount up to three times the estimated total charges as a deposit, in no event less than $250, or the amount listed on the Face Page. For Vehicles in the executive or luxury categories you authorize us to reserve up to $5,000 against your credit card. We may use your deposit to pay any amounts owed to us under this Agreement. The deposit amount does not limit in any way the total amount owed to use under this Agreement. We will authorize the release of any excess Reserve upon the completion of your rental. Your debit/credit card issuer’s rules will apply to your account being credited for the excess, which may not be immediately available.

11. Your Property. You release us, our agents and employees from all claims for loss of or damage to your personal property, including digital data or information from any mobile device that you link to any telematics device or system in the Vehicle, or that of any other person, that we received, handled or stored, or that was left or carried in or on the Vehicle or in any service vehicle or in our offices, whether or not the loss or damage was caused by our negligence or was otherwise our responsibility. The Vehicle may be equipped with an infotainment system that permits you to

pair your own mobile devices, and which may download your personal contacts, communications, location or other digital data. If you pair your device during the rental, you should unpair it and wipe all personal information from the Vehicle’s systems before returning it.

12. Breach of Agreement. The acts listed in Paragraph 6 and 7 are prohibited uses of the Vehicle and breaches of this Agreement. You will breach this agreement if you allow any person other than the Renter or an Authorized Driver to operate the Vehicle. If an Unauthorized Driver damages the Vehicle or injures others, we will hold you responsible for the damage. You waive all recourse against us for any criminal reports or prosecutions taken against you by law enforcement arising out of your breach of this Agreement.

13. Modifications. No term of this Agreement can be waived or modified except by a writing signed by one of our expressly authorized representatives. C&M counter representatives are not authorized to waive or change any term of this Agreement. If you wish to extend the rental period, you must return the Vehicle to our rental office for inspection and written amendment from us by the Due-In Date. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between you and us. All prior representations and agreements between you and us regarding this rental are void.

14. Sever ability   If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be unlawful, contrary to public policy, void or unenforceable, all remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. This provision does not apply in New Jersey. To the extent that New Jersey law is applicable to this Agreement, this Agreement will be construed in accordance with New Jersey law.

15. Waiver. A waiver by us of any breach of this Agreement is not a waiver of any additional breach or waiver of the performance of your obligations under this Agreement. Our acceptance of payment from you or our failure, refusal or neglect to exercise any of our rights under this Agreement does not constitute a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement. To the extent permitted by law, you release us from any liability for consequential, special or punitive damages in connection with this rental or the reservation of a Vehicle.

The limitation regarding recovery of consequential, special, or punitive damages is not applicable to claims in New Jersey based upon personal injuries that result from the negligent, reckless, or intentional acts of C&M, do not release us from any implied warranty of fitness applicable under New Jersey law, and do not apply to violations of the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act.

16. Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver. You and C&M each waive their right to a jury trial or to participate in a class action pursuant to the following terms. You and C&M agree to arbitrate any and all claims, controversies or disputes of any kind (“claims”) against each other, including but not limited to claims arising out of or relating to this agreement, or our products and services, charges, advertisings, or rental vehicles including without limitation claims based on contract, tort (including intentional torts), fraud, agency, negligence, statutory or regulatory provisions or any other source of law. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have authority to resolve any and all disputes relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this agreement, including but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this agreement is void or voidable. You and C&M agree that no claims will be asserted in any representative capacity on a class-wide or collective basis, that no arbitration forum will have jurisdiction to decide any claims on a class-wide or collective basis, and that no


rules for class-wide or collective arbitration will apply.

The parties agree, however, that either party may bring an individual action in a small claims court with valid jurisdiction provided that the action is not made part of a class action, private attorney general action or other representative or collective action. The parties also agree that claims involving a third party insurance company separately providing coverage to you, personal injury claims, or claims relating to the application of your financial responsibility relating to the use or operation of Vehicle, may be brought in a court with valid jurisdiction.

17. Dispute Resolution Procedure. Before asserting a claim in any proceeding, you and C&M agree that either party shall give the other party written notice of the claim to be asserted thirty (30) days before initiating a proceeding and make a reasonable good faith effort to resolve the claim. If you are intending to assert a claim against C&M, you must send the written notice of the claim to Attention: Corporate Creations International Inc., P.O. Box 669, Lynn MA 01903. If C&M is intending to assert a claim against you, we will send the written notice of the claim to you at your address appearing in our records. No demand for arbitration may be made after the date when the institution of legal or equitable proceedings based on such claim or dispute would be barred by the applicable statute of limitation.

No settlement demand or settlement offer used prior to any legal proceeding may be used in any proceeding including as evidence or as an admission of any liability or damages (or lack thereof) and shall remain confidential between you and C&M.

If you and C&M do not resolve the claim within thirty (30) days after the above described notice is received, either party may commence an arbitration by filing a demand for arbitration with the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) pursuant to its Consumer Arbitration Rules. Claims will be resolved pursuant to the AAA’s Commercial Consumer Arbitration Rules in effect at the time of the demand, as modified by this Agreement, however, a single arbitrator will be selected according to AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules. The AAA rules can be found at www.adr.org.

This arbitration agreement is subject to the Federal Arbitration Act. The arbitrator has no authority to join or consolidate claims, or adjudicate joined and consolidated claims. The parties agree that the arbitrator’s decision and award will be final and binding and may be confirmed or challenged in any court with jurisdiction as permitted under the Federal Arbitration Act.

If you are an individual, in the event that (1) your claim is less than $10,000, and (2) you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to costs of litigation, SIXT will pay as much of your filing and hearing fees in connection with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive as compared to the cost of litigation. You are responsible for all other costs/fees that you incur in arbitration (e.g. fees for attorneys, expert witnesses, etc.).

If any portion of this “Dispute Resolution Procedure” section or the “Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver” section are deemed to be invalid or unenforceable or is found not to apply to a claim, the remainder of this “Dispute Resolution Procedure” section and the “Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver” section remain in full force and effect. However, if the “Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver” section is deemed unenforceable, any class action claim(s) must proceed in a court of competent jurisdiction.

18. Personal Information. The information that you provide to us is stored and used to the fullest extent permitted by law. You agree that we may, and authorize us to, provide personal information in our possession about you and other Authorized Drivers (including driver’s name, address, cellular/mobile and other phone numbers, driver’s license and/or credit/debit card information) to applicable authorities or other third parties in connection with our enforcement of our rights under this Agreement and for other legitimate business purposes, including disclosure to our affiliates or other third parties that conduct services on our behalf. You also consent to us or our representatives contacting you. Questions regarding privacy should be directed to: Personal Data, C&M Luxury Car Rentals, LLC, PO Box 669, Lynn, MA 01903.
