General Terms and Conditions of Rental
Any order implies the acceptance of the present conditions which prevail over any other document. The rental of the machine is governed by these terms and conditions.
Certain provisions expressly referring to professionals are only applicable to professionals and not to consumers and/or non-professionals.
1.1 Art. 1 - Requirements to rent
The minimum age is 18 years. AllTracks Engineering may make the rental subject to the presentation of documents (identity card, driver's license, proof of residence), a copy of which may be kept, and may require a financial guarantee, the remittance of which is made by any means accepted by AllTracks Engineering, which may collect it at any time without prior notice, on condition that it is returned after payment of the sums due and return of the rented property in good condition. The amount of this guarantee does not limit the financial responsibility of the tenant who can be engaged beyond.
1.2 Art. 2 - Duration of the rental
The rental takes effect at the time the equipment is made available to the hirer. This date is fixed on the contract or the delivery note. The risk is then transferred to the hirer. The rental period and the legal custody end as soon as AllTracks Engineering returns the equipment in full.
1.3 Art. 3 - Provision of equipment
1. 1. AllTracks Engineering cannot be held responsible for any delay in the provision or delivery of the equipment due to any reason beyond its control, such as strikes, force majeure, changes in regulations, nor for the consequences thereof and is not liable for any compensation in this respect.
Professional Hirer: It is the responsibility of the Professional Hirer to choose the equipment according to his needs, which he has determined himself beforehand, and to check that it is adequate. AllTracks Engineering has no knowledge of the project and is not obligated to verify the compatibility of the equipment with the project.
2. AllTracks Engineering undertakes to provide the Hirer with equipment that complies with the regulations in force in France, in particular those concerning the safety and hygiene of workers, in good condition and in good repair, with the necessary accessories, assembly instructions, operating instructions and safety instructions. If necessary, the personal protective equipment is given with the equipment. If the equipment is not used (unopened protective bag), it will be taken back by AllTracks Engineering.
When taking possession of the equipment, the hirer checks the handing over of these elements and the apparent state of the equipment, with a view to making any reservation that he deems useful. In the absence of reserve, the material is considered to have been given to the tenant in good apparent state. A non-apparent defect or a technical complaint can be reported at any time during the rental period and at the latest within 5 days of the finding.
3. The transport, loading, hitching, securing and unloading of the equipment are at the expense and under the responsibility of the hirer. In case of delivery, the hirer must give the driver the special instructions in force on the site. In case of absence of the hirer, AllTracks Engineering will drop off the equipment or send the delivery note by e-mail. In the absence of reserves on the apparent state of the material formulated in the 4 hours following the delivery or the sending of the email, the tenant is considered to have received the material, in conformity with his order, in good apparent state, with the necessary accessories.
In order for the reservations to be admissible, the equipment must not have been used except for functional tests. Any other use is equivalent to acceptance without reservation. Installation, assembly and dismantling are carried out under the responsibility of the hirer, who undertakes to take note of the assembly, operating and safety rules. The obligation of AllTracks Engineering is limited to the delivery of the instructions.
1.4 Art. 4 - Use
Lending and subletting are prohibited. The hirer certifies that he/she is entitled to use the equipment and that he/she will use it himself/herself or by his/her trained and authorized personnel. He must use the equipment reasonably, in accordance with its purpose and the regulations in force, with caution, maintain it in good condition, respect the instructions and notices for use and safety, and distribute them to users. He is responsible for checking the nature of the soil or subsoil of the site of use and for respecting the rules governing the public domain and the environment. He shall refrain from any modification, development or transformation of the equipment.
Except with the written agreement of the lessor, he may only use the equipment in metropolitan France (excluding Corsica), and it is his responsibility to check the regulations applicable in the territory of use. When not in use, he undertakes to activate the locking system, anti-theft device or alarm, and to leave neither papers nor keys in the cabin. The use of the equipment on an asbestos removal site is forbidden unless the methods of return and decontamination are defined in accordance with art.5 of the decree of 8/4/2013 and if a certificate of asbestos removal is produced upon return. The equipment can be used for a maximum of 8 hours of operation per working day.
1.5 Art. 5 - Maintenance
The hirer is obliged to protect the equipment against any damage and to regularly carry out routine maintenance operations, cleaning, checking and topping up oil, water and other fluids levels in accordance with the recommendations in the instructions, recharging the batteries, checking the tire pressure and carrying out daily checks before taking up duty. The customer agrees to immediately inform AllTracks Engineering of any anomaly found on the Equipment. The Hirer will be responsible for any repair costs incurred as a result of the lack of maintenance. Fuel is at the expense of the Hirer. The maintenance of the equipment at the expense of the Hirer includes lubrication and replacement of the usual wearing parts within the normal framework of use.
1.6 Art. 6 - Breakdown and repairs
The tenant benefits from a telephone assistance by contacting his rental agency. In case of damage, breakdown or malfunction, the hirer must immediately stop using the equipment, notify AllTracks Engineering by telephone and send written confirmation of the circumstances within 72 hours. In the event of use of the material on a site with risk (asbestos, nuclear, petrochemical, polluted, maritime), the interventions of the hirer on site are carried out only apart from the zone of risk, on a material beforehand decontaminated by the hirer.
Any repair is only carried out at the initiative of AllTracks Engineering, its financial charge being distributed according to the provisions of article 7. AllTracks Engineering shall have sole discretion as to whether or not to repair the Property. A downtime fee may be charged if the downtime is not attributable to AllTracks Engineering.
1.7 Art. 7 - Liability / Insurance
The hirer may not use the equipment for any other purpose than that for which it was intended. The hirer is responsible for the material and legal custody of the equipment as soon as it is made available and is liable for any damage caused by and to the rented equipment. However, he cannot be held responsible for the harmful consequences of hidden defects, as soon as he brings the proof.
AllTracks Engineering cannot be held liable for the direct or indirect, material or immaterial consequences of a malfunction or stoppage of the rented equipment which is not due to a proven defect existing at the time of provision. In any case, its liability remains limited to the direct material damage suffered by the hirer, and within the limit of the amount of the rental of the equipment in question, except in the case of physical injury or gross negligence of AllTracks Engineering.

For the rental of other equipment, the hirer must have a business or head of household liability insurance to cover damage caused to third parties by the equipment.
2 - Damage to the rented property

Any unit of time started is due. The equipment may be used for a maximum of 10 hours of operation per working day. Any additional use (beyond 10 hours on a working day, or on weekends or public holidays) may result in additional invoicing, except in the case of subscription to dedicated packages.
1.12 Art. 12 - Return

In the event of a return by AllTracks Engineering, the lessee must inform AllTracks Engineering in writing of the availability of the equipment with reasonable and sufficient notice, specifying the location of the equipment. The equipment must be accessible to AllTracks Engineering. If the equipment is to be used on a hazardous site (asbestos, nuclear, petrochemical, polluted, maritime, etc.), the lessee must decontaminate the equipment and make it available to the lessor outside the hazardous area.

AllTracks Engineering reserves a period of 5 working days after the return of the equipment to notify the hirer of any damage to the equipment which was not apparent at the time of return. In the event of theft or loss, the contract and the rental invoice will only be terminated upon receipt by AllTracks Engineering of a declaration by the hirer to the authorities.

1.14 Art. 14 - Payment
The invoice is payable in cash, except for the payment deadline specified in the special conditions. The term of payment for the rental of machines cannot exceed 30 days from the date of issue. Any sum not paid on the due date shall automatically entail the payment of late penalties at a rate equal to 3 times the legal interest rate in force, as well as the forfeiture of all payment deadlines. The professional hirer is liable, in addition, for a fixed indemnity for collection costs of 40 €, and, after a formal notice remained 8 days without effect, for a fixed penalty equal to 15% of the unpaid amount as damages.
1.15 Art. 15 - Resolutive clause
