These terms also apply to any machines, equipment or their parts that the lessor hands over to the same lessee subsequent to the signing of the contract as accessories or replacements to the leased equipment.
The lease period starts when the machine, equipment is delivered to the address specified by lessee, or in case of earlier delivery as contractually confirmed between the parties, or in the case of pick-up by lessee, on the day when the machine, equipment is handed over to lessee, and ends once the lessee informs officially (in written format) the lessor in the given time.
Rental orders need to be placed before 15:00pm on a working day and in written format. Any order placed after 15:00pm is processed without the guarantee of next day arrival of the machine or equipment to the lessee.
The information regarding the end of the lease period should arrive at the lessor by 15:00pm on the last working day otherwise the following day is charged in excess. The lease is fundamentally – if no other agreement – settled by the official number of business days a week, within which a maximum of 10 working hours per day usage applies. The lease fee charged for the lease period is per day applies to a maximum of 10 hours of work. Daily use beyond the daily maximum working hours and usage on weekends and public holidays are invoiced based on GPS control. Lease fees are also payable on the days on which the lessor is unable to take possession of or use the machine or equipment in a condition suitable for intended use due to the fault of the lessee or for reasons arising from the lessee’s side. Any additional services related to the lease (service/repair, delivery, troubleshooting) are provided on working days between 7:00a.m. – 4:30p.m. (default period). These are subject to a separate charge based on prior agreement or the current tariff if services are requested outside of the default period.
Above the lease fee the lessee shall pay the costs of transporting the machine and equipment to and from the lessee, as well as the cost of insurance. The lessee is obliged to indicate in the order the name and contact details of the competent person to whom the machine and equipment can be transferred and from whom it can be picked up at the end of the lease.
Delivery by lessor shall take place immediately following the signing of the contract, unless the rental contract says otherwise to the site specified by the lessee. In case of transportation problems (such as delay or missed delivery) in case of a contracted transportation partner involvement, the contract between lessor and the transporter shall govern. In such cases the lessor waives his claims vis-à-vis the transporter in favor of the lessee. If it is not the lessor who is taking care of the delivery, it shall be done at the lessee’s liability and risk. Following the end of the lease period the lessee shall return the machine and equipment promptly. At lessor’s request, drop-off shall take place at a site within Hungary specified by lessor. In case of delivery by lessee or third party mandated by lessee the rental start date shall be the date of transfer of the machine to lessee or its mandated carrier.

In the event of failure to comply with the above, the cost of any necessary measures to ensure and permit the pick-up of the machine, equipment shall be borne by the lessee and shall be paid by the lessee to the lessor. In case the return is managed by the lessor, the lessee is required to pay the rental fee until the lessee ensures the actual handover of the machine and equipment.
If, at the time of delivery/pick up, the lessee does not provide the presence of a person indicated in the order, or otherwise authorized to arrange the handover of the machine, equipment on behalf of the lessee, the handover protocol fulfilled by the lessor is considered related to the condition of the machine, equipment.

During transitional periods – time from pre-delivery to start of lease and from end of lease to time of pick-up, the lessee shall hold liability for any damages resulting from non-compliance with its obligations subject to 5.2.
