e) In the event of an accident involving the Vehicle, the Hirer shall be responsible for the first the excess stated in your agreement (if the accident occurs in Singapore) or the Malaysia excess stated in your agreement (if the accident occurs in Malaysia) of any claim upon the insurers of the Vehicle or for any damage to the Vehicle during the subsistence of this Agreement ("the Excess Payment").

h) In the event of an accident, the Hirer will forthwith surrender the Vehicle to the Company who shall, in its discretion, effect the necessary repairs or reinstatement to the Vehicle.
i) The Company reserves the right, upon giving 3 days' notice, to require the delivery of the Vehicle to the Company's appointed workshop or the Company's premises for the purpose of conducting periodic servicing and checks on the Vehicle.
j) The Hirer hereby releases and indemnifies the Company from and against any liability for loss or damage to any property (including costs relating thereto) left, stored or transported by the Hirer or any other person in or upon the vehicle before or after the return of the vehicle to the Company.
k) The Company, whilst taking all precautions to prevent such happenings, shall not be liable for any delays or out of pocket expenses from any fault in or from mechanical failure of the vehicle or any subsequent loss and damage.
l) Without prejudice to the Company's rights in general law, in the event of any breach by the Hirer of any of the terms of this agreement, the Company may without notice repossess the vehicle and for such purpose may enter upon premises where the vehicle may be and remove the same and the Hirer shall be responsible for and indemnify the Company against all actions, claims, costs and damages consequent upon or arising from such repossession and removal.
m) The Hirer will bear the costs of any small incidental running repairs, puncture repairs, and should serious mechanical trouble occur during the subsistence of this Agreement, will notify the Company immediately.
n) The Hirer shall not deal with the title in the Vehicle, sublet or enter into any arrangement for reward in relation to the use of the Vehicle.
o) The Hirer shall be bound by terms and conditions in relation to any extension of the rental period agreed by the Company or in respect of any replacement vehicle rented in lieu of the vehicle.
p) The Hirer is liable for damages resulting from the use of the motor vehicle.
q) The Hirer shall remain fully responsible for the Vehicle from the time it leaves the Company's premises until the Company confirms in writing that the Vehicle has been returned and accepted. This responsibility includes (i) all loss of or damage to the Vehicle, (ii) Rental, which continues to accrue at the agreed rate until such confirmation, and (iii) the Company's reasonable costs of recovery. It applies even where return becomes impossible, including where the Vehicle is detained, seized or forfeited by any authority by reason of the Hirer's use of the Vehicle.
r) Servicing, wear and tear.
i) Provided the Hirer complies with clauses 5(b) and 5(i) and with the Terms and Conditions requiring all servicing, repairs and tyre replacement to be done at the Company's own workshop, the Company shall bear the cost of the following work when carried out at the Company's own workshop: (1) scheduled servicing at every 10,000km; (2) replacement of tyres at every 40,000km; (3) replacement of the clutch disc at every 80,000km; and (4) the repair or replacement of any other part of the Vehicle that has failed through reasonable wear and tear.
ii) The mileage intervals in (i) are measured from the previous replacement of that part as recorded by the Company's workshop or, where none is recorded, from the Vehicle's mileage at the start of this Agreement. Mileage is taken from the Vehicle's odometer as read by the Company's workshop. Any interference with the odometer is a breach of this Agreement.
iii) "Reasonable wear and tear" means gradual deterioration resulting from the ordinary and careful use of the Vehicle for its intended purpose over the period and mileage concerned. It does not include, and the Company shall not bear the cost of, any repair or replacement arising from or contributed to by: accident, collision, impact or kerb damage; punctures or sidewall damage; overloading or towing; harsh, negligent or improper driving, including clutch abuse; continued use of the Vehicle after a fault, warning light or unusual noise has appeared; failure to service the Vehicle on schedule; use of the Vehicle in breach of this Agreement; any modification, attachment or accessory not fitted by the Company; or any other act or omission of the Hirer, any driver or any passenger.
iv) Replacement of tyres or the clutch disc before the mileage stated in (i), or of any other part that has not failed through reasonable wear and tear, is not covered. Where such work is carried out at the Hirer's request, or is made necessary by any matter in (iii), the Hirer shall pay the Company's cost of parts and labour at the Company's prevailing workshop rates. Where the Company's workshop finds a part unsafe before the stated mileage through no fault of the Hirer, the Company may replace it at its own cost; that decision rests with the Company alone.
v) The Company's workshop shall determine whether a part requires replacement and whether its condition results from reasonable wear and tear or from a matter in (iii). Replacement parts shall be of the type and brand selected by the Company. All parts removed from the Vehicle remain the property of the Company.
vi) Nothing in this clause relieves the Hirer of clauses 5(b), 5(m) or 5(p).
s) Replacement vehicles and Scheduled Companies.
i) "Scheduled Company" means the Company and any other company named in the Schedule of Scheduled Companies forming part of this Agreement. Each Scheduled Company contracts solely for itself. No Scheduled Company is liable for the obligations of any other, and nothing in this Agreement makes any Scheduled Company the agent, partner or guarantor of another.
ii) The Company may at any time, for repair, servicing or any other reason, replace the Vehicle with another vehicle owned by any Scheduled Company ("Replacement Vehicle"). The Hirer may decline a Replacement Vehicle before taking delivery of it, but not after.
iii) Delivery of a Replacement Vehicle to the Hirer, or to any driver or other person the Hirer sends or permits to collect it, is an offer by the Scheduled Company that owns it to hire that vehicle to the Hirer on the terms of this Agreement, and taking delivery is the Hirer's acceptance. A separate agreement between the Hirer and that Scheduled Company ("Successor Agreement") comes into force at the moment of delivery, on the same terms as this Agreement, save that for its purposes that Scheduled Company is "the Company" and the Replacement Vehicle is "the Vehicle".
iv) The Hirer shall sign or electronically acknowledge the Successor Agreement when asked. That acknowledgement records the Successor Agreement and is not a condition of it. Failure or delay in acknowledging does not affect its validity or the Hirer's obligations under it from the time of delivery.
v) The security deposit continues to be held by the Scheduled Company that received it, for the benefit of whichever Scheduled Company is the Hirer's lessor for the time being, and may be applied to any sum due from the Hirer under this Agreement or any Successor Agreement. Any credit due to the Hirer may be applied against sums due to any Scheduled Company.
vi) Rental invoiced under this Agreement for the current billing period remains payable to the Company. Rental under the Successor Agreement begins on the next billing due date.
vii) This Agreement is superseded by the Successor Agreement from the time of delivery, without prejudice to any right, claim or liability that accrued under this Agreement before that time.
viii) Each Scheduled Company may enforce this clause 5(s) under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 2001. Subject to that, no person other than the Company and the Hirer has any right under that Act to enforce any term of this Agreement.
This agreement shall be governed by the laws of the Republic of Singapore. In the event of any dispute arising out of or in connection with this agreement, the Hirer agrees to submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of the Republic of Singapore.
Unless otherwise provided, this agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior representations and/or understanding between the parties.
Please refer to Terms & Conditions. The Company reserves the right to assign this agreement to a third party upon reasonable notice to the Hirer.
The companies named below are the Scheduled Companies referred to in clause 5(s). Each is a separate company, listed by name and Unique Entity Number only; nothing in this Schedule makes any of them liable for another.
