The insurance coverage is specified in the corresponding insurance policy for the rented motorcycle, a copy of which was provided to the Lessee.
In the event of an insurance risk occurring, the Lessor is the beneficiary throughout the lease period, except in cases of death, total disability, partial disability, and hospitalization, where the Lessee is the beneficiary of the corresponding insurance amount and will pay it to the authorized individuals.
The Lessee is responsible for the full cost of repairing any damage to the rented motorcycle or to third parties caused by the Lessee's fault, where there was no obligation for insurance coverage by the Lessor according to the terms of this agreement.
It is specifically noted that the insurance coverage does not include damage from terrorist acts, and the Lessee is obligated not to participate in any events and to take necessary measures to protect and maintain the motorcycle in the condition it was received.

The second rider must sign a declaration confirming they have read the agreement and its terms and that they have the same obligations as the Lessee towards the Lessor.

Lessee's Responsibilities for Fines and Damages

The Lessee is also responsible for paying to the Lessor any amount that the Lessor may be required to pay to anyone due to the applicable legislation, as well as any fines imposed on the Lessor resulting from the Lessee's abusive, non-contractual, or illegal behavior, even if the Lessor becomes aware of this after the lease has ended and the motorcycle has been returned.
In such cases, the amount may be charged to the Lessee's credit card, even if the cardholder or Lessee is not physically present, and the Lessor will write "S.O.F." (signature on file) in the signature field on the charge slip. The Lessor will then send a copy of the charge slip to the cardholder at the address provided in the rental agreement.

In case of improper return or abandonment of the motorcycle, the Lessee is responsible for compensating the Lessor for any positive and consequential damage, including search and retrieval expenses, transportation to the Lessor’s premises, legal fees, and, in case of loss or theft, the motorcycle’s market value.
In such cases, the Lessee must immediately pay the compensation to the Lessor, regardless of insurance coverage. If the insurance company compensates the Lessor and considers the compensation fair, the Lessor is obligated to refund the Lessee the amount they have paid, provided the damage is fully covered. Otherwise, if the amount is less, the Lessee is responsible for covering the difference.
