Art. 5. VEHICLE INSURANCE COVERAGE
The customer declares to know, accept, and undertake to comply with the conditions provided by the insurance policy. The rented vehicle is covered by third-party liability insurance, which covers damages caused to third parties and does not include the driver. In the event of any sudden incidents, the customer will be responsible for the deductible specified in the contract (CDW) and the vehicle value in case of theft and/or fire. For motor vehicles, in case of damages due to carelessness, falls, or any event without collision or due to gross negligence (driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, driving without a valid license, driving against traffic, or serious violations of the Highway Code), the customer is required to fully reimburse the damage caused up to the maximum value of the vehicle indicated in the contract. In case of theft or fire, partial or total, the customer undertakes to immediately report the incident to the competent authority and to deliver the original report to B-action srl within 24 hours of the incident and must pay B-action srl the total value of the vehicle indicated in the contract. The rental fee, as specified in this contract, is also due for the days when the vehicle is not used due to theft or fire. Damage limitation coverage expires in case of total theft with failure to return the keys, and the total value of the vehicle must be paid, including registration fees and additional damage.
Art. 6. ACCIDENTS
In the event of any accident, the customer undertakes to immediately notify B-action srl by phone. The customer must request the intervention of the competent Authority and, when necessary, must file a report with the competent Authority. The customer must ensure the collection of data from witnesses and other vehicles involved, or obtain all necessary information for determining the responsibilities of the accident. Furthermore, the customer undertakes to submit to B-action srl, within 24 hours of the accident, a detailed and complete report on the “accident report” form (CID), attached to the vehicle documents. Finally, the customer agrees to cooperate with B-action srl, its Insurance, and its Legal representative in any pre-litigation or litigation investigation or proceeding.
Art. 7. DELIVERY AND RETURN OF THE VEHICLE
The date and time of delivery and return of the vehicle were agreed upon between the parties before the start of the rental, and the customer personally undertakes to comply with what was agreed. Any changes must be previously agreed in writing with B-action srl. The tolerance for customer delay for delivery is 20 minutes, and after this time, the reservation will be considered canceled without any right to reimbursement. Upon agreement with the company, a possible return at a different time may be arranged at a minimum cost of €50 + VAT depending on the distance, at the sole discretion of B-action srl, and without any right on the part of the customer to reimbursement for unused rental days. In case of delay in returning the vehicle by the customer exceeding 20 minutes, an additional rental day will be charged, increased by 25% because fractions and intermediate terms are considered as a full day, plus any expenses incurred or missed income resulting from it up to a maximum of €200 per day, until the return date. B-action srl reserves the right to terminate the contract and take possession of the vehicle at any time in case of violation of the agreed conditions of use, without any obligation to the customer for compensation for damages or for any other reason. In any case, the customer undertakes to return the vehicle as soon as B-action srl requests it, even verbally. Items left in the vehicle upon return to B-action srl are considered abandoned, and B-action srl is not required to keep or return them. The customer is responsible for the vehicle until it is taken over by B-action srl personnel; in case of delivery to third parties or in the absence of the company’s personnel, any damages found will be charged to the customer.
Art. 8. CUSTOMER LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES
The customer undertakes to return the vehicle and its accessories in the same condition as delivered and therefore also undertakes to make good any shortages and compensate for all damages caused, except for normal wear and tear. In particular, the customer assumes the obligation to compensate for damages resulting from refueling with a fuel other than that provided for the rented vehicle and damages resulting from repair interventions carried out or commissioned directly by the customer without written consent from B-action srl, or resulting from the circulation of the vehicle despite the presence of indicated damage without the timely return of the same. In the event of tire punctures, the customer is responsible for replacing the damaged tires at their own expense. The return of the vehicle with repaired tires is not allowed. In case of any damages found on the vehicle, B-action srl is hereby authorized to deduct the corresponding amount from the customer’s credit card without notice (Delayed Charge Agreement). The vehicle’s interior as well as damages due to vegetation are in no case covered by damage limitation, as well as any harmful event attributable to the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Customer. The operation of the vehicle on dirt roads is prohibited, and in case of damages due to vegetation, the customer’s negligence will be considered, and the franchise limitation (CDW) will not apply. In case of an accident, theft, fire, or breakdown, if the customer requests a replacement, B-action srl may choose not to provide a replacement vehicle by exercising the rightful cause of termination of the contract. Any expenses for vehicle repair or maintenance must be previously authorized and invoiced to B-action srl to receive reimbursement; otherwise, no payment will be made.
Art. 9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Within the limits provided by law, B-action srl cannot be held responsible, and indeed, the customer waives for themselves and for their heirs or assigns to make any and all claims against them, for any damage suffered by the customer or third parties resulting from the use of the rented vehicle, or for loss or damage to property of the customer or third parties left in the vehicle, or for damages or inconveniences resulting from delays in delivery, damage, or any other cause beyond the direct and exclusive control of B-action srl.

An extra charge starting from €50 may be applied for non-standard washing. Abandonment of the vehicle will result in a penalty of €2000 plus additional damages.
