Common use of RETURN OF VEHICLE Clause in Contracts

RETURN OF VEHICLE. 11.1 On the Expiry Date or any earlier date on which the Hiring Arrangement is terminated, except where Clause 12.4 applies, the Hirer must make the vehicle available for return or collection and inspection by LeasePlan. The Vehicle will remain at the risk of the Hirer until it is returned to, or collected by, LeasePlan. Without prejudice to the other obligations of the Hirer under the Hiring Arrangement, LeasePlan will advise the Hirer of the cost of restoring the Vehicle to the condition required by Clause 10.1(a). The cost of such repairs will be deemed to be the cost as estimated by a motor vehicle inspector appointed for that purpose by LeasePlan who will apportion the repairs between chargeable and fair wear and tear by reference to the LeasePlan Fair Wear and Tear Policy. The chargeable portion will be treated as a Pass On Cost and become due and payable by the Hirer to LeasePlan. 11.2 Before returning the Vehicle the Hirer may remove any accessories fitted at the Hirer’s expense during the Term. Any resulting damage to the Vehicle must be made good to the satisfaction of LeasePlan. The Hirer will not have any claim against LeasePlan in respect of any such accessory which is not removed. 11.3 On the Expiry Date or, any earlier date on which the Hiring Arrangement is terminated, except where Clause 12.4 applies, LeasePlan will calculate the difference between the distance driven by the Vehicle since the Contract Start Date (the “Actual Distance”) and the number of kilometres per year specified in the Schedule multiplied by the number of years in the Term (the “Hiring Distance”). Subject to 11.4, the amount which is produced by multiplying such difference by the relevant Distance Variation will become due and payable by the Hirer to LeasePlan as a Pass On Cost. 11.4 For any given Vehicle, if the difference between the Actual Distance and the Hiring Distance is less than 10,000km, no Pass On Cost or credit will be calculated or payable. 11.5 If the Vehicle has not been returned at the Expiry Date, the Hirer shall bear the cost of any Non Contract Costs that may occur, which shall be treated as Pass On Costs.
