1.2 The rental agreement is concluded for a fixed term. The duration of the rental agreement is specified in the reservation.
1.3 The Lessee is aware that there are risks associated with the use of rented materials (loss, theft, and damage to the material). Risks can in no case be claimed from the manufacturer of the material or The Lessor.
Your safety is very important to us. The Lessee declares that they have read the safety instructions via the following link. The Lessee agrees to wear the life jacket while paddling. The Lessee agrees to paddle at their own risk. The Lessee bears the full risk and responsibility for the material during the time it is made available to The Lessee.
The Lessee has the possibility to modify their booking or receive a full refund or a gift voucher by cancelling or modifying the booking online with a notice period of 48 hours before the start of the activity. The Lessee can modify the booking by phone or online. The Lessee will receive a gift voucher in case of cancellation by The Lessor due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances. Changes and additions to reservations are only valid if there is written confirmation. Oral side agreements, even if made before the conclusion of this reservation, are not valid if they contradict the above provisions. In case of absence/no-show, the full price will be charged.
This agreement pertains to the list of materials (vessels and water sports equipment + logistics, etc.) that can be reserved via the website www.paddleshare.be and the material needed to make Paddle Share possible (logistics, cart, box, locks, etc.). The material always remains the property of Peddelsport Vlaanderen. The material may be used at the location of the Paddle Share box by The Lessee or, with the consent of The Lessee and at their responsibility, by another person. The Lessee is responsible for ensuring that all users have read these conditions.
The Lessee can reserve the material only when it is still available.
The rent for the material is paid at the time of reservation. The Lessee is responsible for ensuring that the material is not damaged or lost. The Lessor has the right to charge a deposit in addition to the rent to cover any damage to or loss of the material. The Lessor will provide the deposit no later than 48 hours after the end of the rental period. The Lessor has the right to charge The Lessee’s credit card for damaged and/or lost material according to the current price list (see addendum). If it is not possible to charge The Lessee’s credit card, The Lessor is entitled to invoice The Lessee, which The Lessee must pay within 10 days of the invoice date.
The Lessee retrieves the material from the Paddle Share box (mobile or fixed). At the end of the session, The Lessee ensures that the material is returned to the Paddle Share box (mobile or fixed). The Lessee ensures that the digital lock is closed at all times as described in the step-by-step plan:(https://www.peddelsport.vlaanderen/waar-het-water-op/paddle-share/klantinformatie). The time of retrieving from and returning to the Paddle Share box is as specified in the reservation. It may be that someone is waiting for you to return your kayak/SUP at the agreed time. So please be aware that if you are late, it can ruin someone else’s paddling experience. Therefore, respect the return time! If you absolutely cannot return the kayak/SUP on time, please report this by phone using the number on your booking confirmation. By agreeing to these General Terms and Conditions, you agree that we will charge an additional fee of €50 to your card in addition to the extra rental costs according to our price list for the time you rent the kayak/SUP beyond the agreed time. At the end of the rental period, The Lessee must return the material to the place where it was picked up. Upon return, the material must be left in the same condition as it was picked up, except for normal wear and tear.
The Lessee is required to thoroughly inspect the material for any defects and/or damage to the material or theft when using it. If something is not in order, The Lessee must inform The Lessor within fifteen minutes (15 minutes). If the material is damaged and The Lessor is not informed, The Lessee must pay for the damage (see article 6). If there is notification, The Lessor will inform The Lessee of the measures to be taken. The Lessee is responsible for the proper maintenance of the material and must ensure that it is returned clean and in good condition (e.g., no water left in the cockpit, etc.). The Lessee ensures that the digital lock is closed. After using the material, The Lessee is required to immediately report any damage, defects, and/or theft of the material to The Lessor. The Lessor can access the material at any time.
