L’entretien de routine doit être effectué conformément aux spécifications du fabricant. Lorsqu’un entretien de routine est requis, le client doit apporter le véhicule à l’un des fournisseurs de services approuvés de United. A list of approved vendors is available from Customer’s United representative.

30.14. Electric Vehicle Rental. In addition to (and not in lieu of) Sections 30.1. through 30.15, the following terms apply to the rental of a battery-powered motor Vehicle with a non-combustion engine that is identified as an EV or electric Vehicle rental item(s) in a Rental and Service Agreement, the Reservation Details, or similar document (an “EV”):

30.14.1. EVs may collect information regarding the range of the EV’s battery life, but such range calculations are provided for general informational purposes only and are not guaranteed to be accurate or complete.  It is Customer’s responsibility to maintain an adequate EV battery charge of at least twenty percent (20%) at all times to ensure the EV can be brought to a station for recharging and, at the end of the Rental Period, to a Store Location. L’autonomie et la durée de vie de la batterie d’un VE peuvent varier en fonction d’un certain nombre de facteurs comme la météo, la température, les objets remorqués et les conditions de conduite qui sont hors du contrôle de United. Customer is responsible for the cost of any tow if the EV is not drivable due to a low battery.  Customer is not authorized to call a private tow. All towing must be arranged through United.

30.14.2. Au terme de la Période de location, le Client doit retourner le VE avec une batterie chargée à au moins vingt pour cent (20 %).

30.14.3. Le Client assume tous les frais et services dus aux bornes de recharge et/ou de recharge rapide qu’il utilise pendant la Période de location. Customer may charge the EV at any station, private or public, at Customer’s own cost.  Customer is responsible for any damages, fees, fines, or penalties occurring at or associated with the use of charging stations.

30.14.4. Subject to Ford’s Blue Oval Network terms and conditions, United’s Ford EVs may be able to access Ford’s Blue Oval Charging Network (the “BOCN”).  In some cases, Customer may be required to register for access to the BOCN and incur a fee at certain BOCN locations. Customer is responsible for all registration (including but not limited to Customer’s acceptance of and compliance with any terms and conditions and privacy policy required for access) and other fees charged by Ford or a third-party charging station. Si le Client utilise une borne de recharge BOCN pour recharger le VE pendant la Période de location et que des frais de recharge et autres engagés à la borne de recharge sont facturés par le BOCN à United plutôt qu’au Client, lesdits frais seront facturés au Client en sus des Frais de service de recharge. As used herein a “Recharging Service Charge” means a flat fee of $1.00. The Recharging Service Charge will be billed to Customer each time Customer charges the Vehicle at a BOCN charging station and United is billed for such recharging. L’objectif des Frais de service de recharge est de couvrir les coûts administratifs de United pour la gestion du service BOCN. LE CLIENT S’ENGAGE À RÉGLER LES FRAIS DE SERVICE DE RECHARGE LORSQUE UNITED EST FACTURÉ POUR L’UTILISATION PAR LE CLIENT DE BOCN ET QUE CES FRAIS SOIENT RÉPERCUTÉS AU CLIENT PAR UNITED. Depending on when they are received from the BOCN, the costs of recharging and the Recharging Service Charge may be billed later due to processing time.

30.14.5. La limite maximale de chargement d’un VE est fixée à quatre-vingt-dix pour cent (90 %).

30.14.6. Any EV accessories including, but not limited to, charging cord(s) and plug adaptor(s) provided by United with the EV are Customer’s responsibility.  If any EV accessories are lost, stolen or damaged, it is the Customer’s responsibility to immediately notify United so the EV accessory can be replaced at Customer’s cost and expense.  Customer is responsible for returning the key fob and all other accessories provided with the EV to United at the end of the Rental Period and Customer will be charged for any EV accessories that are lost, stolen or damaged or otherwise not returned to United with the EV.

31.1 Database Information; Management System.  Prior to using a Telematics Device or Dash Cam and in connection with use of the Management System, Customer shall provide United with all information requested by United in each case, which may include, but is not limited to, any contact and other information related to any Qualified Operators that may use a Telematics Device or Dash Cam (the “Database Information”). Le Client fera des efforts raisonnables pour ne pas fournir de renseignements identifiables, et anonymisera ou pseudonymisera les Renseignements de base de données dans la mesure du possible. Sur accord mutuel des parties, si possible, United doit remplir le Système de gestion avec ces renseignements de base de données et doit ensuite fournir au Client un accès limité au Système de gestion. Le Client doit examiner rapidement les Renseignements de base de données dans le Système de gestion pour en vérifier l’exactitude et doit immédiatement aviser United de toute erreur ou inexactitude dans les Renseignements de base de données. Si le Client omet d’informer United de toute erreur dans les Renseignements de base de données dans les sept (7) jours suivant l’octroi au Client de l’accès au Système de gestion, ces renseignements seront jugés exacts. United ne surveillera aucune modification apportée par le Client à un Dispositif télématique, au Système de gestion et/ou aux Renseignements de base de données. Le Client est seul responsable de toute modification apportée aux Renseignements de base de données et/ou de tout autre renseignement contenu dans le Système de gestion après l’octroi au Client de l’accès au Système de gestion. United n’a aucune obligation de fournir un portail ou un outil de gestion pour les Dispositifs du Client.

As Mats may be delivered across multiple days, the Rental Period for some Mats may begin and end earlier than others.

 36.2. Delivery. Mats will be delivered using a common carrier based upon the agreed number of loads per day. If more loads per day are required, additional charges may apply. Unless United is providing installation services, Customer agrees (i) to have sufficient people and machinery to promptly unload the Mats; and, (ii) that it will be responsible for installing the Mats, and subsequently removing the Mats from, the Site set forth in the Reservation Details.

36.3. Use; Location and Storage. In connection with the use of the Mats, Customer acknowledges and agrees that (i) the ground upon which the Mats will be used (including when any additional structures are placed on the Mats) will be suitable for the Mats and those additional structures; (ii) it is responsible for the maintenance and condition of the Mats while in its possession; and (iii) will only use the Mats in connection with the project identified in the Reservation Details. Customer also agrees that the Mats will only reside at the Staging Yard or the Site, and be segregated from, and not mixed with, non-United mats (it being understood that any mat mixed with the Mats will be presumed to be part of the Mats). Customer further agrees to keep up-to-date records of the location of the Mats, and upon request, provide copies to United.  SUBJECT TO COMPLYING WITH ANY APPLICABLE SAFETY OR SECURITY REQUIREMENTS, CUSTOMER AGREES THAT UNITED HAS THE RIGHT TO ENTER ANY PLACE WHERE THE MATS IS USED, KEPT OR STORED TO INSPECT AND COUNT THE SAME.

Customer acknowledges and agrees that it is impossible for United to ensure the accuracy, completeness and sufficiency of such information, either because it is impossible to verify, or because of errors or omissions that may have occurred in assembling such information.  Accordingly, United will not be liable for any losses or damages that result from such inaccurate or incomplete information.

36.4.2.  Customer further agrees to: (i) ensure that access points to and from public roads, off-right of way (“Off-ROW”) roads and/or the right of way to the Site (the “ROW”), as applicable, be free and clear of all obstructions or adverse conditions that may affect the provision of Services or the physical safety of United’s employees; (ii) procure all necessary permits and approvals (including any approvals necessary for any Off-ROW private road access to the ROW); (iii) conduct any pre-construction surveys, including those related to the Site, Off-ROW routes or the ROW; (iv) ensure that the ground conditions necessary for the performance of the Services and the intended use of the Mats are satisfactory; (v) manage its other third-party contractors such that their services (including timetables or delays) do not interfere with, or impede, United’s provision of the Services (including, but not limited to, delaying any agreed-upon Service dates); and (vi) be responsible for the condition of the Site after the Mats are removed (it being understood that unless the Reservation Details states otherwise, United will have no obligation to restore the ground to its previous condition).

36.5. Mats Return; Replacement Fee.

36.5.1.  Customer agrees to notify United no less than ten (10) days in advance of when it intends to begin returning the Mats. Unless the Reservation Details states otherwise, at the end of the Rental Period, Customer will return the Mats to the Staging Yard. Mats not returned to the Staging Yard, not available for pick-up at the agreed-upon location if United is providing removal services, not returned to the Store Location (if Customer is handling transportation) or, whose rental is extended beyond the Rental Period will be subject to the daily rate set forth in the Reservation Details. Prior to, and after the return date, and anytime Customer is in default, United will be entitled to use, without cost, the Staging Yard to store, count, inspect and load the Mats for reshipment. As Rental Periods may vary, United will regard any Mats returned as having been returned in the order in which they were delivered. To the extent United installs equipment for use at the Staging Yard or the Site for clean-up (i.e., dumpsters), Customer shall not use such equipment.

36.5.2.  A replacement fee (a “Replacement Fee”, which fee is set forth in the Reservation Details), will be assessed for any Mat (A) not returned at the end of the Rental Period; or (B) returned in a condition so damaged that it is not suitable for further use (each a “Cull Mat”); provided, however, if all amounts were paid when due during the entire Rental Period and Customer is not otherwise in default under this Agreement, United will forgive the Replacement Fee for Cull Mats up to the attrition number set forth in the Reservation Details. The payment of a Replacement Fee as to any piece of Mats (including a Cull Mat) will not be interpreted as allowing Customer the right to keep or resell any Mats.
