Terms of payment: net 20 days, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
2.4. Postponement
The Lessor reserves the right to invoice the Lessee for transport, mobilisation and other documented costs in the event of postponement by the Lessee, as follows:
Semi-mobile crane – postponement of ordered services must be notified on a working day during normal working hours (07:00–15:00) no later than 24 hours before the planned commencement of the order. This means that a delivery scheduled for Monday morning must be cancelled no later than Friday morning.
Tower crane – postponement of ordered services must be notified on a working day during normal working hours (07:00–15:00) no later than 72 hours before the planned commencement of the order. This means that a delivery scheduled for Monday morning must be cancelled no later than Wednesday morning.

If the Lessee cancels the agreement before the start of the rental period, the Lessor reserves the right to charge three months’ rental as well as costs relating to preparation and transport from the nearest depot.
The notice period is one month in writing and is valid only when confirmed by the Lessor.
§3 Rental Period
3.1. Commencement of Rental
The rental period is a specified period of time agreed separately between the Lessee and the Lessor when the rental agreement is entered into.
If the end of the rental period is agreed by reference to a week number, the rental period ends on the last day of that week.
The rental period may be extended; see §3.4.
3.2. Risk in Respect of the Rented Equipment
Following erection of the rented equipment (the time of erection), responsibility and risk in respect of the rented equipment pass to the Lessee until the rented equipment is returned to the Lessor’s depot or, by agreement, dismantled by the Lessor (the time of dismantling).
3.3. Failure to Return the Rented Equipment
If the rented equipment has not been returned by the agreed end date, the Lessee shall pay rental, insurance and all other expenses connected with the rental until the equipment is returned. The same applies if circumstances attributable to the Lessee, or any other circumstance for which the Lessee is responsible, prevent the return of the rented equipment. The provisions concerning notice of termination during the extension period pursuant to §3.4 also apply to this clause.
3.4. Extension
If the Lessee wishes to extend the agreed rental period pursuant to §3.1, the agreement may be extended by up to three months. Unless otherwise agreed, prices will be index-adjusted by 3% during the extension period.
An extension beyond three months requires renewal of the rental agreement. During the three-month extension period, the notice period for termination is 10 rental days for construction hoists, 21 rental days for tower cranes and 10 rental days for self-erecting cranes. If customary days off or holidays, including Saturdays, fall within this period, the notice period will be extended accordingly.
Termination is valid only when confirmed by the Lessor.
§4 Rental and Other Payments
4.1. Rental
Rental is calculated for each commenced working day during the rental period. Working days are weekdays from Monday to Friday. The rented equipment may be used for a maximum of 40 operating hours per week unless otherwise agreed in writing. This period is hereinafter referred to as the rental time.
4.2. Rental Time
If the rented equipment is to be used outside the period stated in clause 4.1, at weekends or on public holidays, the Lessee is obliged to pay a separate fee for such use. The fee must be agreed in writing before use.
4.3. Calculation of Rental
Rental is charged irrespective of any downtime of the rented equipment where the downtime is at the request of the Lessee and the downtime period has not been agreed in advance between the Lessee and the Lessor. The same applies where downtime is caused by an order or requirement from a third party, see §18, or where the downtime is caused by incorrect operation of the rented equipment by the Lessee.
In addition to rental, the Lessee shall bear all consequential expenses of any kind, irrespective of whether the use results from the Lessee’s request or from an order or requirement imposed by a third party.
Where mobile cranes and trucks are used in connection with erection, dismantling and any additional use during the rental period, time during which the work is interrupted as a result of weather conditions preventing the work from being carried out will be charged in addition to the contract sum.
4.4. Sundays, Public Holidays and Rental Suspension
For Sundays and public holidays, rental is charged at the same rate as for a weekday, irrespective of whether the day is a public holiday or similar. If the machine is used during a period for which a rental suspension has been agreed, rental will be charged for the entire period.
4.5. Costs in Connection with Downtime
Costs arising as a result of the above circumstances are of no concern to the Lessor, irrespective of the reason for their occurrence. The Lessee shall therefore bear all costs arising in connection with the downtime, including claims by the Lessor, indirect or direct costs, charges or fines.
4.6. Orders, Charges, Taxes, etc.
In addition to the above costs, the Lessor is entitled to recharge to the Lessee any expense arising from an order, charge, tax or similar requirement. The same applies to any charge, rental fee or similar amount required by a public authority or third party, including rental or charges for use of the area on which the equipment is erected.
§5 Users
5.1. Users
The rented equipment is made available to the Lessee without operating personnel. The Lessee is obliged to ensure that the rented equipment is operated only by qualified personnel.

6.1. Site Inspection
The Lessee is responsible for ensuring that the Lessee’s representative, in the form of a foreman, engineer or site manager, is present at the place of use during the site inspection and/or upon arrival of the rented equipment. Upon arrival, the Lessee’s representative must indicate the correct erection location. The Lessee may consult the Lessor in connection with selection of the machine, but the Lessee makes the selection and bears responsibility for ensuring that the selected machine is suitable.
6.2. Erection Location
The Lessee shall, without being requested to do so, provide information on the height of and distance to surrounding buildings, fixed objects of any kind and any other circumstances relevant to the use and possible use of the rented equipment.
The Lessee is responsible for ensuring that the ground is correctly levelled and capable of absorbing the forces imposed by the rented equipment, including adequate distances to trenches, concealed pipes and similar installations. The Lessor is entitled to require the relevant conditions to be investigated and documented prior to erection. The Lessee is responsible for ensuring that sufficient space is available at the site for erection and dismantling of the rented equipment. The Lessee is also responsible for ensuring that the rented equipment can be dismantled after use and must therefore take this into account when indicating the erection location. This includes ensuring sufficient space for the transport and handling equipment selected by the Lessor, normally a crane truck, truck, low-loader, forklift and, where applicable, a mobile crane. A mobile crane must be capable of being positioned up to 13 metres from the crane erection location.
6.3. Access Road to the Erection and Dismantling Site
The access road to and from the erection site must be firm and suitable for the relevant transport. Sufficient space must also be available for erection and for loading and unloading the equipment. At the Lessee’s expense, the Lessor may arrange road plates or ground protection for both the machine base and the access road.
6.4. Power Supply at the Site
Upon arrival of the rented equipment at the erection site, a power supply must be established at the centre of the erection location both for erection and for operation of the rented equipment during the rental period. The power supply must comply with the Lessor’s requirements regarding current and voltage. Voltage drops may cause the equipment to operate incorrectly.
6.5. Transport and Erection
Unless otherwise agreed, the Lessee shall bear all costs of transport and erection of the rented equipment, including erection, electrical connection, approvals, load testing, etc. The Lessee shall likewise bear all costs of dismantling and return transport.
6.6. Special Provisions Relating to Cranes
In connection with erection/dismantling of cranes, the Lessee shall make a crane operator available. The crane operator shall participate in the erection/dismantling as an assistant to the crane erector. The Lessee bears responsibility for the assistant during performance of the work.
Where erection is carried out on a foundation, the foundation must be cast and fully cured. Where erection is carried out using an embedded mast/anchor, the mast/anchors must be cast into the foundation and fully cured. Where erection is carried out on bogies, a minimum of 12 metres of crane track must be laid on a load-bearing surface. The above work shall be carried out by the Lessee, who shall also bear the associated costs.
6.7. Costs Arising from Site Preparation
If the Lessor assesses that one or more of the above conditions have not been met, the Lessor may, at the Lessee’s expense, either remedy the matter or suspend the erection/dismantling work. In this connection, the Lessor may, among other things, order levelling of the ground, additional auxiliary equipment such as a mobile crane, road plates or ground protection for the access road or machine base, temporary site power, etc. Irrespective of whether the Lessor remedies the matter or suspends erection/dismantling, the Lessee shall pay all resulting costs in addition to those stated in the agreement, including waiting time, additional transport, cable rental, etc.
6.8. Mandatory Training/Courses and Clothing
Any cost relating to mandatory training, courses or clothing required by the Lessee or the construction site will be invoiced separately on a cost basis.

To the extent required, the Lessee is responsible for making any other notifications and registrations, including obtaining approval for erection from the relevant authorities.
§9 Repair and Maintenance
9.1. Normal Wear and Maintenance
The Lessor will remedy normal wear and tear at no cost to the Lessee. Such work will be carried out during normal working hours, and the Lessee is obliged to make the equipment exclusively available to the Lessor for the time required.
9.2. Daily and Weekly Maintenance
The Lessee shall bear the cost of and be responsible for the daily and weekly maintenance of the rented equipment. Upon receipt of the rented equipment, the Lessee has been provided with the operating instructions for the rented equipment and may obtain access to the equipment logbook upon request.

Misuse includes, among other things, any incorrect operation, excessive loading or other handling contrary to the manual or the manufacturer’s instructions.
9.5. Notification and Performance
The Lessee is obliged to notify the Lessor of any necessary maintenance or repair. Maintenance or repairs may only be carried out by the Lessor or pursuant to a separate agreement with the Lessor.

The Lessor will then arrange for the damage to be repaired. Where damage is covered by insurance taken out pursuant to the rental agreement, the Lessor will handle notification of the claim to the insurance company.
10.2. Fastening of the Rented Equipment
The Lessee alone bears responsibility and risk for any damage arising from the fastening of the rented equipment. The Lessor is not obliged to remove bolts or similar items after use.
10.3. Cleaning, Scratches, etc.
Upon return of the rented equipment, inadequate cleaning, scratches, minor dents or similar matters are also regarded as damage and will be remedied at the Lessee’s expense.

11.5. Theft and Vandalism
Theft of or vandalism to the rented equipment must be reported to the Lessor and the police within 24 hours of the incident. Damage to the rented equipment must likewise be reported to the Lessor within 24 hours from the time the damage is discovered or ought to have been discovered.
§12 Loss of Operation
12.1. Liability
The Lessee alone bears responsibility and risk for any loss of operation, regardless of the cause and whether direct or indirect, including where caused by downtime, defects or deficiencies in the rented equipment or by delay in delivery, servicing or collection of the rented equipment.
The Lessor shall never be liable for work stoppages, machine damage or delays resulting from war, fire, strikes of any kind, lockout, intervention by public authorities or public authority requirements, including orders from authorities, precipitation, low temperatures, wind or other weather conditions that wholly or partly stop operations.
§13 Professional Liability
13.1. Application
The following provisions on professional liability apply only where the Customer/Lessee orders a separate advisory service from the Lessor and a written agreement concerning such advisory service exists between the parties.
The adviser is responsible only for the specific advice provided, and the Customer/Lessee therefore bears responsibility for the use made of that advice.
The adviser’s professional liability is limited to a maximum amount equal to the fee payable under the separate agreement.
The above limitation of liability applies irrespective of whether the Customer/Lessee’s order for advisory services forms part of any other service ordered by the Customer/Lessee or by a third party.
The adviser may only be held liable where it can be demonstrated that the adviser is directly responsible for damage caused by gross negligence or wilful misconduct.
The adviser also disclaims liability for indirect losses in accordance with the terms set out in §9.
§14 Weather Conditions
14.1. Weather Conditions
The Lessor shall have no liability in respect of the rented equipment or its use during the rental period, including any inconvenience caused by weather conditions.

17.1. Smoking in the crane cab is prohibited.
In the event of a breach, the Lessee will be invoiced for full specialist cleaning and odour removal.
§18 Force Majeure
18.1. Application
If performance of the agreement is prevented, rendered impossible or becomes an unreasonable burden for either party due to extraordinary circumstances that the affected party cannot mitigate and could not reasonably have foreseen, including, but not limited to:
war, strikes, lockouts, accidents, fire, natural disasters, orders or prohibitions issued by public authorities, new or amended legislation, riots or civil unrest, exchange restrictions, reductions in the supply of goods or fuel,
as well as deficient or delayed deliveries from subcontractors due to the above or similar circumstances, the parties are entitled to invoke such circumstances as grounds for relief from their obligations under the agreement.
The above circumstances may only be invoked where their effect on performance of the agreement could not have been foreseen when the agreement was entered into.
18.2. Invocation
A party invoking force majeure must, without undue delay, notify the other party in writing and state the effect of the force majeure event on performance of the agreement, including how the event is expected to affect the agreement and proposals for mitigating measures.
Each party shall bear its own costs and losses resulting from force majeure.
Accordingly, the Lessee may under no circumstances impose any liability on the Lessor or claim compensation for delay in the Lessor’s performance.
If a force majeure event prevents performance of material parts of the agreement for more than 30 consecutive days, the party not prevented from performing by the force majeure event is entitled to terminate the agreement on 14 days’ written notice without this giving rise to any claims between the parties.
§19 Confidentiality

Confidentiality and trust are essential to a good working relationship, and the parties are therefore subject to a requirement of mutual confidentiality. This confidentiality means that all information received from or concerning the Lessee will be treated as confidential.
§20 GDPR
20.1. Data Processing and Storage
Data will be processed and stored responsibly and in accordance with the applicable data protection regulation.
By entering into the agreement, the Lessee consents to the Lessor processing those categories of information that are relevant in order for the Lessor to provide the requested service.
