1. DEFINITIONS, DISTINCTION AND VALIDITY

The non-terminable basic term of lease will begin on the first of the calendar quarter following delivery of the LO, or the first of the month if monthly payments have been agreed upon (Commencement Date). Should the LO be delivered prior to Commencement Date, 1/30 of the monthly rate is to be paid every day of the interim period. The Lessee will inspect the LO immediately upon delivery and shall give notice of defects immediately. The Lessee may only confirm delivery of the LO once he / she has ascertained that the delivery is complete and in a contractually acceptable condition.

2. EXTENSION, END OF LEASE, RETURN OF THE LO

The contract will be automatically renewed for a period of six months if it is not terminated in writing by one of the parties at least three months before expiry of the basic rental term or of the renewal period.

Any data belonging to the Lessee must be deleted in full. The LO will be returned at the expense and risk of the Lessee to the Lessor's business address provided in this General Terms and Conditions of Lease.

If the contract is terminated for a reason for which the Lessee is responsible, the Lessee will be in default with the damage claim of the Lessor if the Lessee does not make a payment within a period of 14 days after receiving the termination notice and the assertion of the damage.

3. DELIVERY AND RIGHTS OF THE LESSEE

The Lessee will bear the cost of delivery to the Lessee proportionately with the Lessor. The Lessor will assign to the Lessee any rights concerning contractual delivery, with the exception of the right to reimbursement of the purchase price. The Lessee is responsible for exercising these rights.

4. RISK OF ACCIDENTAL LOSS, DESTRUCTION OR DETERIORATION AND RISK OF NON-PAYMENT

The Lessee will bear the risk of accidental loss, destruction or deterioration and risk of non-payment. As the owner of the LO, the Lessor has taken out general property protection with an admitted insurer.

The Lessee will bear any excess provided for in the protection policy. If repair costs were to exceed half of the LO's current market value, the Lessee may terminate the lease contract in writing with immediate effect. Should the Lessee terminate the contract on these grounds, the Lessee is to place the Lessor in the same position in which it would have found itself at the agreed end of the contract if the damage event had not occurred. Compensation payments must be used to repair or replace the rented object or to make good the damage.

6. USAGE, COSTS AND REPAIRS

The Lessee will heed supplier and manufacturer recommendations as well as regulatory requirements concerning the operation of the LO and will pay any fees relating to the use or possession of the LO and any other charges. The Lessee will maintain the LO in a contractually acceptable and functional condition (including procurement of the recommended updates) at his / her expense until it is returned to the Lessor; moreover, the Lessee will indemnify the Lessor against claims of any kind filed by third parties due to the set-up, operation or property rights concerning the LO. The LO may not be handed over to the Supplier or any third party except for the purposes of repair work and only for as long as necessary.

7. LIABILITY, RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE LESSOR IN THE EVENT OF DEFECTS, WARRANTIES AND DEFAULT OF THE LESSEE

The Lessor will contract out liability for any defects of the LO by assigning, at the time the contract is concluded, all rights concerning any defects to which it is entitled based on the purchase agreement for the LO to the Lessee, as well as rights arising from warranties. If defects emerge or a warranty case arises, the Lessee must assert these rights immediately. In the case of price reduction or cancellation of the contract, the Lessee will demand payment to the Lessor. The Lessee is only entitled to refuse to make due payments if supplementary performance fails and the Supplier verifiably accepts the Lessee's request for a price reduction or cancellation of the contract or if the Lessee has taken legal action against the Supplier. The same will apply with regard to a guarantor. Rights arising from product defects will expire by limitation after a period of one year; such rights are excluded for used LO's.

The Lessee understands and expressly agrees that in the event of default by Lessee, the contract is voidable without the need for a judicial order. The Lessor is therefore entitled to terminate the contract for the reason of default by the Lessee, without a prior notice.

A. GENERAL SECTION

1. 1. As the owner of the object, GRENKE has concluded a Framework Property Protection policy with a protection company that is duly registered and licensed. The following conditions are deemed to be agreed upon and accepted as soon as the object that has been handed over to the client for use is included in this Framework Property Protection.
2. 2. Protection benefits in general are intended to cover the costs of restoring an object and providing an equivalent replacement for the object in the event of damage, based on the object's value at the time when the loss occurred.
3. 3. The protection generally grants subsidiary protection, i. e. it grants protection only when protection coverage is not provided by any other source.
4. 4. The excess payable by the client will be AED 600,00 per loss event.

B. PROTECTED LOSS / DAMAGE AND RISKS, DISCLAIMER

1. 1. The protection provider will pay compensation when protected objects are damaged or destroyed due to unforeseen events and when the protected objects are lost due to theft, burglary or looting.
2. Damage is unforeseen if neither the policyholder nor his representatives foresaw the same in due time or would have been able to foresee the same with the specialist knowledge necessary for the work carried out in the business; in this respect, only gross negligence is detrimental, and this will entitle the protection provider to curtail its payment proportionate to the severity of the fault by the policyholder.
3. Compensation will be paid when objects are damaged or destroyed (material damage) especially as a result of the following cases:
   
   

   a) handling or operating errors, lack of skill, negligence;

   f) force majeure;

   g) faulty design, faults in the material, faulty workmanship.

4. 2. For electronic components (units) that are part of the protected objects, compensation will be paid only if it is proven that an protected risk has externally affected the replacement unit (in case of repair this is usually the unit to be replaced) or has affected the protected objects as a whole. If proof cannot be brought forward, the predominant probability is sufficient that the damage is attributable to an external protected risk. Consequential damage on further replacement units will be covered.
5. 3. If not otherwise agreed, the protection provider will pay compensation for tubes, (e. g. picture tubes, high-frequency tubes, laser tubes) and photo conductors (e. g. selenium cylinders) only in cases when the damage was caused by one of the following items:
   
   

   a) fire, stroke of lightning, explosion and only to the extent that these risks can be covered by fire protection;

   a) by the client's wilful intent;

   b) by acts of war of any type or civil insurrection;

   c) by nuclear energy;

   d) as a result of wear due to normal or operational wear or abnormal operational wear or deterioration; however, compensation will be paid for consequential damage in further replacement units. Item 2 remains unaffected.

4. 4. Exempt from protection coverage are such items as follows:
