The hirer certifies that he/she is fit to use the rented equipment and that he/she has no medical
contraindications.
The hirer undertakes to use the rented equipment with care, without danger to third parties and in
accordance with the instructions for use. The hirer is always responsible for the physical and
material damages he causes during the use of the rented equipment (art.1383 and 1384 of the

civil code). Belle Bicyclette will not be held responsible for any damage or loss suffered or caused
by the hirer during the use of the rented equipment. The use in competition or for a driving similar
to a competition is forbidden. In the event of accidental damage, loss, theft or improper handling
of the equipment, the lessee shall be liable for the costs of repair. In case of total damage or loss,
the lessee is responsible for the replacement value of the equipment.

9. Instructions for use

The hirer undertakes to use the equipment himself/herself and to use it with due care.
The hirer declares that he/she will abide by the rules of the Highway Code. If the hirer
contravenes the laws and regulations in force during the rental period, the lessor cannot be held
responsible.
The renter is strongly advised to wear a helmet (compulsory for children under 12 years old).
The hirer undertakes to do everything possible to avoid theft or damage to the rented goods. To

The hirer may not undertake any repair work on his own initiative. Only the lessor is able to judge
whether a repair is a matter of maintenance and therefore at the expense of the lessor or whether
the repair is due to damage to the equipment during the rental period, and therefore at the
expense of the lessee.

10. Deposit of guarantee

The lessor requires a credit card imprint or an identity document as a guarantee against loss,
theft or damage of the equipment. The lessee authorizes the lessor to deduct from the security
deposit the amounts due:
– Under the deductible, to repair damage and theft whose rates are displayed at the rental point.
– Under the compensation for late return of the rented equipment.
It is expressly agreed that the amount of the deposit does not constitute a guarantee limit.

11. Applicable law

This contract is subject to French law. In case of dispute, in order to confront the points of view of
the third parties and to allow them to find a solution to the dispute themselves, a mediator may be
appointed by the parties or the judge previously seized. This mediation may then take two
possible forms: conventional or judicial. In case of mediation in the first place and of non
resolution of the dispute, the competent court by default would be that of the lessor.
