HEXAGONS Check Out/In Report signed by the Hirers Agent and HEXAGONS advise of damage following inspection after the vehicles return shall show and advise any damage and or shortfalls to the vehicles visible condition, These Check Out/In Report signed by the Hirers Agent and HEXAGONS advise of damage are the exclusive instruments of agreement regarding damage and shortfall to the vehicles condition between the vehicles on-hire condition acceptance and it’s condition at vehicles return and as such, the Hirer agrees to pay for such damage and shortfalls signed for by the Hirers agent and or as advised by HEXAGON at the costs advised to the Hirer by HEXAGON. 1.7: If, at any time, HEXAGON makes any concession or allowances for extra time to pay, this will not affect the rights on that or any subsequent occasion; variations to this Agreement must be in writing and signed by an authorised officer of HEXAGON. 1.8: The Hirer acknowledges that they will be treated as having received any communication sent by HEXAGON 48 hours after posting to the Hirer’s usual or last known address. 1.9: The Hirer must not allow any lien, charge or encumbrance to attach to the Goods and indemnifies HEXAGON in respect of any such claim. 1.10: Whenever in this Agreement the Hirer indemnifies HEXAGON, the indemnity extends to all members of HEXAGON and any holding company or subsidiary, relating to HEXAGON of the goods and will apply even after the Agreement has ended.

All payments by the Hirer must be made within 30 days of the invoice date without deduction, set-off, counterclaim or appropriation. The Hirer agrees that this is a condition (in Scotland an essential condition) of this Agreement. A breach of this condition may be treated by HEXAGON as repudiation. (See clauses 9, 10 and 11) 3.1: Punctual payment of all sums due under this Agreement is of the essence of this Agreement. The Hirer agrees that all payments (other than the Advance Payment) under this Agreement shall be paid by direct debit or BACS to HEXAGON’s bank account or as HEXAGON may otherwise direct and payment made by post and/or cheque are at the Hirer’s risk.

The interest rate will be Finance House Base Rate at that time plus 6%. Payment of the late amount and late payment interest will not affect the right of HEXAGON to terminate. (See clause 11.) 3.3: If HEXAGON has a need to apportion rentals it will do so entirely at its own discretion. 3.4: HEXAGON has calculated the rentals payable to give a particular after tax return. The calculation assumes, (amongst other things), that:- a) writing down allowances at the rate in force on the date the Hirer signs this Agreement will be obtained and retained by HEXAGON of the Goods on a reducing balance basis on the whole of the costs incurred until the Goods are sold (such balance to include in the next following accounting period any such costs not included in the accounting period in which the costs were incurred); and b) The Goods will have been used for a qualifying purpose within the qualifying geographical region and all parts of the Goods shall qualify for writing down allowance c) there will be no change in the law of the United Kingdom relating to tax or accounting policy as it is applied to HEXAGON and/or any holding company or subsidiary, relating to HEXAGON, or HEXAGON or the Rentals on the date the Hirer signs this Agreement; and d) On termination or expiry of the hiring of the Goods a sum not less than the tax written down value for the Goods will be received by way of net proceeds of sale. If any of the assumptions proves not to be or ceases to be correct and HEXAGON or HEXAGON’s rate of return from this Agreement is reduced HEXAGON may increase the Rentals by the amount required to preserve such rate of return as if such event (and any such other event which has occurred since the Start Date) had not occurred and the varied Rentals will be payable instead of the Rentals shown overleaf. If the last Rental has already been paid or the hiring of the Goods under this Agreement has come to an end the Hirer will pay to HEXAGON an additional rental and the obligation to pay that rental will be deemed to have arisen before the end of this Agreement. At least seven (7) days’ notice of any adjustments to the Rentals shall be given by HEXAGON to the Hirer and in the absence of manifest error the notice shall be conclusive and binding upon the Hirer. 3.5: The Hirer must not at any time claim capital allowances on the Goods. 3.6: ROAD TRAFFIC ACT 1974:22.1-5 AND SCH 1 See statement of liability 3.7: HEXAGON has calculated the rentals payable based upon a Vehicle Excise Duty current at the time of the Date Out.

All vehicles on hire are serviced to ensure the chassis and driveline is in working order. However, at the end of an Agreement, excessive dents, scratches and damage to bodywork and cab interiors can result in financial penalties for the customer. This document is provided to offer guidelines on how to minimise the costs of rechargeable damage. Drivers: · Implement a fleet policy which sets out maintenance and servicing intervals for all drivers. Layout guidelines for regular checks on oil, water, and tyre pressure etc. Follow this up by regular checks to ensure overall condition of the vehicles. · Ensure your drivers know the legal requirements of a roadworthy vehicle, replacing items such as cracked windscreens quickly. · Ensure drivers treat all vehicles with respect, that they are cleaned inside and out regularly and that any damage is reported immediately. Is the driver using the right vehicle for the right job and is the driver qualified and confident enough to drive the vehicle? · Consider driver training and look out for recurring damage. · Make vehicles available for service according to the scheduled intervals. · On The Road · When the vehicle is in transit, ensure that doors, roller shutters, tail lifts and cranes are closed or correctly positioned. · Monitor the number of hours your driver is doing. Tired drivers working long hours can cause accidents. · Encourage drivers to take breaks, particularly when driving on motorways. · Maintenance · Carry out daily checks of the following: o Oil, water, ad blue and antifreeze levels o Tyre pressures and conditions o Wheel nut security (visual check) o Mirrors, lights and reflectors o Ancillary equipment · Monitor all vehicles for any external damage which could allow leaks into the bodywork or could be a danger to the user or general public. · If any vehicle develops a leak in the load area, inform the defect management team immediately. · Check condition of floorboards or lining and repair or replace damaged items. Tyres The tyres on your vehicle are your only contact with the road surface. Badly worn, defective and/or over/under inflated tyres can greatly affect the safe handling characteristics of a vehicle. In addition to affecting the vehicles stability they can also impact on its operating costs, resulting in lower than expected mpg. Roadside Assistance We operate a 24 hour roadside assistance service for all breakdowns including tyres. The purpose of this service is to effect the repairs necessary to ‘get the vehicle moving’ again. It is not provided to carry out Service or Replacement Work. For more details on Service Work see the ‘Service Work’ paragraph below. Fleet Checks (at additional cost) Regular Fleet Checks identify potential wear issues early and rectify them before they cause lasting damage to the tyre and increases up-time. Fleet Checks can be coordinated by our Customer Services department at times convenient to the Customer, often at weekends or when the vehicle is parked up during daylight working hours. The Fleet Checks can be provided to you by our Customer Services department. As a rule Fleet Checks will not generally be available ‘out of hours’. It is important that any vehicle not available at the time of a scheduled Fleet Check be identified and made available at the earliest opportunity so that the condition of its tyres can be assessed and managed accordingly. Service Work Preventative maintenance reduces down time caused by breakdowns and prolongs the life of the tyre enabling the operator to obtain maximum mileage out of the tyre. As with ‘Fleet Checks’ Service Work is coordinated by our Customer Services department at times convenient to the Customer, when the vehicle is parked up during daylight working hours. Service Work will not generally be available ‘out of hours’. Reporting All requests for services are at all times to be directed to Customer Services department. This will ensure a rapid and effective response to your request. Customers are respectfully requested not to contact the service agent directly. This can lead to confusion and often results in more than one service agent being sent to the same ‘call-out’ and in such an event any additional charges will be charged accordingly.
