TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF LUXILO SUBSCRIPTION
Last update - January 02, 2024
ARTICLE 1 - OWNERSHIP OF EQUIPMENT​
The equipment remains the property of the lessor.
The lessee must inform the lessor directly in the event of bankruptcy, seizure by third parties or any other creditor exercising its rights. The lessee is obliged to inform any third party that he is not the owner of the leased equipment. In the event of legal reorganization, bankruptcy or liquidation, the lessor has the right to terminate the subscription contract and demand the return of the equipment.
​
The lessee chooses the equipment of the brand and type that suits him, according to technical qualities, desired performance and his own needs as a user in the category of his choice and depending on vehicle availability.
​
Consequently, if, for any reason beyond the Lessor's control, the equipment does not meet the use for which it is intended, is affected by redhibitory or hidden defects, or does not ensure the expected yields or profitability, the Lessee may neither defer nor interrupt the regular payment of its rental payments at the due dates, nor exercise against the Lessor any recourse whatsoever to obtain the cancellation of the subscription contract, defer its application or formulate any claim for damages.
The hirer also signs the inventory of fixtures on receipt, which states that the equipment delivered conforms to that covered by the subscription contract and reservation.
This signature or acceptance of the inventory of fixtures implies unreserved acceptance of the equipment by the lessee, who thus declares that he/she is familiar with all its characteristics, particularly its operation.
In the absence of an inventory of fixtures, the lessor, after the equipment has been made available, may consider that the lessee has accepted the equipment and is therefore entitled to pay for it, if he has not already done so.
Sub-letting the equipment is strictly forbidden.
If the lessor has in his possession elements which may lead him to believe that the lessee is sub-letting the leased equipment, the lessor has the right, without prior notice, to recover the vehicle.
​
ARTICLE 2 - EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE LEASE - RENTS - TERMS OF PAYMENT
The subscription contract takes effect upon signature. Rental takes effect from the date of delivery of the equipment to the hirer. Rent is payable upon reservation of the equipment. The annual subscription fee is non-refundable, and no reason may be given for its reimbursement.
​
Monthly installments are payable in advance. On any amount not paid on the due date, the lessee will owe, ipso jure and without formal notice, a rate of 1.5% per month. No claim or dispute of any kind whatsoever suspends the obligation to pay. All costs incurred by the lessor as a result of refusal to accept delivery or late acceptance shall be borne by the lessee. If the monthly payment, annual fee or security deposit is not paid or is only partially paid within 30 days of the due date, the lessor reserves the right to terminate the contract immediately and to seize the vehicle.
​
Rents remain unchanged for the entire duration of the reservation, subject to changes in VAT rates, or in general the tax regime applicable to the transaction.
​
The subscription contract is automatically renewed on expiry. If the lessee does not wish to renew the subscription, the lessee is required to inform the lessor at least 30 days prior to renewal. The lessor reserves the right not to renew the subscription.
​
In the event of early termination of the subscription, the annual fee is non-refundable.
Breach of contract automatically entails a AED 2000 termination fee payable to the lessor by the lessee.
​
Rental is granted for a minimum period of 1 month, starting on the day of delivery. The tacit renewal of a monthly payment is validated on the basis of inaction 15 days before the end of the reservation period previously established by the lessee. The next instalment will also be tacitly renewed on the basis of inactivity, and so on. If this process encounters a reservation conflict with another renter, the subscription will be automatically paused and the vehicle recovered by Luxilo at the end of the monthly payment concerned.
​
ARTICLE 3 - USE AND OPERATION OF EQUIPMENT
The lessee is obliged to use the property with due care. He is responsible for the loss, disappearance, deterioration and premature wear of the equipment. On delivery of the vehicle, or in advance, the hirer must sign a supplementary rental contract, specifying the terms of insurance and deductible linked to the specific value of the equipment chosen. This rental contract will also mention the additional costs to which the hirer is exposed in the event of damage, vehicle cleaning, fines, etc.
​
The hirer must comply with the obligations mentioned on the rental contract.
​
In the event of non-use of the equipment reserved for any reason whatsoever, the lessee may not claim any reduction in rent or compensation of any kind from the lessor, nor demand cancellation of the rental contract. However, the lessee may suspend the reservation by notifying the lessor 15 days in advance.
​
Contrary to articles 1719 et seq. of the French Civil Code, all costs incurred by the use and repair of the equipment are the responsibility of the lessee.
Repairs covered by the manufacturer's warranty are at the Lessor's expense, as is normal maintenance, which is part of good housekeeping. The lessee undertakes to inform the lessor of any alert, warning light or other message requiring maintenance or repair.
It is forbidden for the hirer to incorporate parts, equipment and accessories into the equipment. All modifications to the vehicle are strictly forbidden.
​
The lessor may at any time inspect or check the condition of the equipment and its use. He can always check the execution of any repairs or incorporation of parts.
​
Within 24 hours, the lessee must notify the lessor of any deterioration, damage or destruction of the equipment and of any accident caused by it, and assumes all liability in the event of failure to do so.
​
The lessee undertakes to comply with the laws and regulations in force concerning the possession, transport and use of the equipment. The equipment may only be driven by persons with the appropriate and authorized driving license for this equipment; any driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol is prohibited and will be prosecuted before the competent courts.
​
The lessor assumes the warranty for hidden defects. However, no recourse may be taken against the Lessor for such defects.
​
Liability to third parties arising from the use of the leased equipment rests exclusively with the lessee, even if the damage was caused by a defect in the equipment.
​
In the event of a dispute, the courts of the Emirates shall have jurisdiction. For the interpretation of the present contract and all its consequences, the parties submit to Emirati law.
​
If a vehicle has to be transferred between one of our pick-up areas, a transfer fee may apply.
​
AED 3800 including VAT if the amount of the reservation is less than AED 20 000 including VAT.
AED 1400 including VAT if the amount of the reservation is between AED 20 000 including VAT and AED 40 000 including VAT.
Free of charge for bookings over AED 40 000 including VAT.
The "One" lessee-subscriber has 600 logistical kms included in the subscription. The kilometer consumption of this offer will be calculated on the basis of the distance covered by the courier from the nearest Luxilo pick-up zone to his return to the pick-up zone. When this package is exhausted, the renter may still request Luxilo delivery services at the normal rate (AED 6.00/km). The "One" tenant-subscriber is not exempt from transfer fees.
The monthly payment includes a flat-rate kilometer charge of 4,500 km, regardless of the vehicle or category chosen. This fixed kilometer rate cannot be accumulated or renewed from one reservation to the next.
​
ARTICLE 4 - UPDATING GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS AND CONTRACTS
These terms and conditions and any subscription or reservation contracts are subject to change. If this is the case, new documents will be submitted to the lessee. Should the Lessee reject these, the Lessor reserves the right to terminate the contractual relationship between the Lessor and the Lessee.
​
ARTICLE 5 - SCOPE OF APPLICATION

Failing this, Luxilo is deemed to have delivered a vehicle with no apparent defects and no subsequent claim relating thereto will be taken into account. Once sent by e-mail and the vehicle collected by the renter, the vehicle condition sheet is binding on both parties, whether signed by the renter or not.
If Luxilo is unable to provide the vehicle specified in the rental contract due to force majeure (as defined by the case law of the UAE courts), it undertakes to offer the renter a comparable vehicle.
