  5. Rental agreement

    1. The rights and obligations arising from the rental agreement are exclusively between the respective Borrower and Lender. These users are exclusively responsible for the fulfillment of the obligations arising from the rental agreement. The Users shall comply with all applicable legal provisions and refrain from contractual agreements that do not conform to the mandatory applicable law. Sharely excludes all liability in connection with the concluded rental agreements. In particular, Sharely does not warrant or represent that the users will perform the contractual services owed to each other or that the information provided by them, including their identity, is accurate and complete. The identity of the Users will be requested by Sharely, or a third party commissioned by it, but Sharley does not guarantee that the information provided by the users regarding identity is correct and excludes any liability in this regard to the extent permitted by law. This risk is borne by the respective users.

    2. By posting the rental item on the online platform, the Lender makes an invitation to submit an offer. A Borrower may submit an offer to conclude a rental agreement. The rental agreement is concluded when the Lender accepts the offer of the tenant in accordance with the provisions on the online platform ("booking confirmation"). If the rental request is not answered by the Lender within 24h after receipt, the request will be automatically deleted and the Tenant will be informed. Sharely reserves the right to temporarily block or completely delete the User Account of a Lender who repeatedly does not respond to requests in a timely manner.

    3. Borrower and Lender are responsible for any booking changes they make via the online platform and agree to pay any additional fees or taxes incurred with a booking change, subject to the cancellation terms set out in clause [5.6 (vi)] of these T&C.

    4. The Lender is obliged to always describe his rental items correctly and completely and to fill in at least the mandatory fields specified by Sharely in each case. By posting a rental item, the Lender assures that he is authorized to rent the rental item. Sharely reserves the right to reject rental items at any time and without giving reasons or to delete corresponding entries.

    5. Users are not allowed to provide each other with contact details. These will always be provided by Sharely to the extent necessary. The users acknowledge and agree that Sharely provides the respective personal data required for the fulfillment of the rental contract to the Borrowers or Lenders to the necessary extent.

    6. Mandatory Components rental agreements. The following provisions are a mandatory part of the respective rental agreements and Borrower and Lender may not make any deviating agreements in this respect:

      1. The Lender may only offer for rent the rental items circumscribed on the online platform.

      2. The rent, the insurance fee and the commission fee are to be paid by the Borrower to Sharely according to the information on the online platform before taking over the rental item. If the rent and/or the commission fee have not been received by Sharely in due time, the Lender may not hand over the rental item to the Borrower. Sharely will inform the Lender immediately in this regard.

      3. No changes may be made to the rental item that do not comply with the contractual use and consumption. The Lender's operating and maintenance instructions, instructions for use and any other instructions concerning the proper use and the permissible load must be strictly observed ("rental item regulations"). The Borrower guarantees that the rented item will be used by a person who has the knowledge and authorization necessary for the use of the rented item, in accordance with the provisions of these T&C. The Lender reserves the right to terminate the rental agreement immediately in case of non-compliance with the provisions of these T&C or the respective rental item regulations. In such a case there is no obligation to refund the rent.

      4. The Lender shall deliver the rented item to the Borrower for use in a proper, sound, operable and fully fueled/filled (if applicable) condition with the required rental item provisions.

      5. The rental period is calculated in calendar days or hours. It begins with the day or the hour of handover and ends with the contractual return of the rental item at the time agreed on the online platform. If the rental period is calculated in days, the day of handover and the day of return shall be deemed to be whole days. If the rental period is calculated in hours, the hour of handover as well as the hour of return shall be considered as whole hours. The duration of the rental stipulated in the rental agreement may be adjusted exclusively via the online platform and may not be less than the minimum duration of one (1) day for daily rentals and one hour (1) for hourly rentals. Adjustments to the duration of the rental agreed between the Lender and the Borrower outside the online platform are not permitted.

      6. The rental agreement is concluded for a fixed period of time. The rent is owed for the entire rental period, regardless of whether the rental item is used or not. There are no ordinary termination options. However, the rental relationship can be cancelled in accordance with the provisions of the online platform. In case of a timely cancellation, the rent will be refunded to the Borrower and the Lender will not receive any payment.

      7. Subletting, sub-leasing, sub-lending or any other form of entrustment of the rental item by the Borrower to third parties is prohibited. The rental item remains the sole property of the Borrower at all times. The Borrower shall be fully liable for any damage incurred by the Lender as a result of violation of this provision.

    7. The total amount is always inclusive of VAT and other additional costs (e.g. delivery costs, expenses), if these are owed. The user is responsible for complying with its obligations under applicable law to properly report, collect, remit and include in its price any applicable taxes (e.g. value added tax) or other (domestic) direct, income or other taxes and duties ("Taxes"). In certain jurisdictions, Sharely may be required by law to obtain and/or report tax information about Lender and/or withhold Taxes from disbursements to Lender.

    8. Voluntary components of rental agreements. Unless otherwise agreed in the rental agreement between Borrower and Lender or excluded by applicable law, the following provisions shall apply in the relationship between Borrower and Lender:

      1. The rental item is picked up by the Borrower from the Lender. The time of collection is specified on the online platform.

      2. The Borrower is obliged to check the rental item for any defects at the time of handover and to notify the Lender immediately. If there are no notices of defects when the rental item is handed over, the rental item shall be deemed to have been received in perfect condition. The right to complain about hidden defects in accordance with the Swiss Code of Obligations at a later time is reserved.

      3. The power of disposal and risks over the rental item are transferred to the Borrower as soon as it has been handed over to the Borrower or carrier and continue until its return to the place determined by the Lender. During this period, the Borrower shall bear the sole responsibility for the rental item and all risks that may be caused directly or indirectly by its use. The Borrower shall be liable for any loss and/or damage to the rented item and the costs related thereto, without regard to whether they were caused by the fault of a third party, by accident or by force majeure. The Borrower is obliged to adequately insure himself at his own initiative and expense against any damage that he or third parties may suffer as a result of the use of the Lenders item, and to provide proof of insurance upon first request. If the Lender is prosecuted by a third party for damage suffered, the Borrower is obliged to indemnify or hold the Lender harmless for all claims, damages and related expenses.

      4. If the Lender does not hand over the rental item at the agreed time or with defects that exclude or significantly impair its suitability for the intended use, the Borrower has the right not to accept the rental item and to withdraw from the rental agreement. In this case, neither the rent nor any provision fee shall be payable, and Sharely shall repay the corresponding amounts to the entitled persons within 5 business days. All other claims of the Borrower against the Lender, in particular claims for damages or substitute performance, are excluded to the extent permitted by law.

      5. The Borrower must have any repairs that become necessary during the rental period carried out by the Lender without delay. The Borrower is entitled to carry out repairs himself or to pass them on to third parties, but only with the prior written consent of the Lender. If the Borrower carries out repairs without authorization, the Borrower shall in any case bear the resulting costs and shall be liable for any direct or indirect damage resulting from insufficient repair work.

      6. The Borrower shall use the leased item with care and shall return it to the Lender in the same condition, subject to normal wear and tear due to contractual use. Unless covered by insurance, Borrower shall be liable for all costs incurred by Lender as a result of non-contractual use by Borrower, including cleaning costs and time spent. Sharely will assist the Lender in this process.

      7. The Lender and the Borrower may agree on a deposit for the transfer of the Lenders item. The agreement of such deposit terms (in particular the amount, payment and repayment of the deposit) are exclusively subject to the rental agreement. Sharely is neither responsible for the administration of an agreed deposit nor for any claims asserted by the Lender.

      8. The Borrower has to return the rental item to the Lender in due time. When and how to return the rental item to the Lender is listed on the online platform. All costs associated with a late return will be charged to the Borrower. If the Borrower fails to return the rental item to the Lender within three (3) days after the agreed return date, the Lender shall be entitled to charge the Borrower the applicable new amount for the rental item. Sharely will handle this payment process analogous to section 7 of these T&C.

      9. Upon return of the rental item, the Lender shall inspect the condition of the rental item. Defects for which the Borrower is responsible must be reported to the Lender immediately upon return of the rented item. If the Lender fails to inspect the rented item or to report defects immediately, he shall forfeit his claims, unless they are hidden defects in accordance with the Swiss Code of Obligations. If the Lender discovers such hidden defects later, he must report them to the Borrower within three (3) days, otherwise the Lender loses his claims against the Borrower.

      10. Should third parties assert rights to the rental item through seizure, confiscation or due to other alleged claims, or take authorized or unauthorized possession of the rental item, the Borrower is obliged to inform Sharely immediately within one day at the latest. The Borrower is obliged to reimburse the Lender for all costs incurred for recovery and to pay a reasonable advance for legal costs upon the Lender's request on a one-time basis.

      11. The Lender's total liability for direct damages, regardless of the nature and legal nature, arising from the lease is excluded to the maximum extent permitted by law. The Lender is not liable for indirect, exemplary special or consequential damages (including but not limited to loss of profits, revenue, business, goodwill, anticipated savings, reputation or data). The assertion of claims for damages against the Lender shall be excluded to the extent permitted by law if the damage ascertained has not been reported immediately by the Borrower. The Borrower shall provide the Lender with documents proving the damage without being requested to do so. If the Borrower fails to provide this evidence, the Lender shall not be liable even if it would in principle be liable to pay compensation.

      12. In all other respects, the provisions of the Swiss Code of Obligations shall apply.

    9. Rating system. Each user may rate other users with whom he/she was in a rental relationship on the online platform. The user is obliged to make truthful statements when evaluating other users. Unobjective, defamatory or in any other way infringing or inappropriate comments are prohibited. Any use of the rating system that contradicts its purpose is prohibited. This includes, in particular, entries made by interconnected persons or non-existent persons or evaluations of oneself. The ratings are not checked by Sharely. Sharely does not guarantee the accuracy or appropriateness of the ratings. Sharely reserves the right to delete ratings or comments without giving reasons.

  6. Disputes arising from the rental agreement

    1. Occurring cases of defects, delays or other service disruptions must be settled between the users. Sharely stores and transmits for this purpose contact details of both parties to the rental agreement and is entitled to view communications between the Borrower and the Lender for the purpose of supporting dispute resolution. Users are obliged to comply with the provisions of Sharely's privacy policy regarding the processing of exchanged personal data.

    2. In the event of a dispute between Borrower and Lender, they shall take all reasonable steps to reach an amicable settlement. You may notify Sharely of the dispute, but Sharely is not obligated to mediate disputes or otherwise take action.

    3. Should Sharely become involved in a legal dispute (including pre-litigation) in connection with a lease, the Lender and the Borrower shall be jointly and severally liable to Sharely for the costs incurred by Sharely in this connection.

    4. All rental articles for which a fee is charged, which are brokered via the online platform and for which an insurance fee has been paid, are insured. Details are listed on the insurance page.

  7. Payment process and fees

    1. The rental agreement is always concluded for the total amount listed on the online platform for the rental object. The total amount consists of the rent for the rental object, the insurance and handling fee, the brokerage fee to be paid to Sharely, as well as any other fees that are explicitly stated.

    2. The Borrower shall pay the total amount to Sharely in the manner shown on the Online Platform. Sharely thereby manages the rent paid by the Borrower on behalf of the Lender and holds it in a non-interest bearing account for the Lender. Sharely assumes as assignee according to the following clauses the claims of the Lender against the Borrower and transfers in return to the Lender the payout according to clause [7.8] of these T&C.

    3. The Lender agrees to assign and hereby assigns to Sharely, without reservation, all accruing future monetary claims, including contingent and time-limited claims, arising from the rental of rental items via the Online Platform, each, to the extent assignable, together with all related contractual and statutory secondary claims, ancillary rights, privileges and interest accruing thereon ("Claims"), by way of a blanket assignment, and Sharely accepts such assignment ("Blanket Assignment"). The Lender is liable to Sharely for the existence of the Receivables pursuant to Art. 171 of the Swiss Code of Obligations.

    4. The Lender warrants to refrain from anything that may adversely affect the value of the Receivables and, upon Sharely's request, to take all necessary precautions to achieve the maintenance and validity of the Global Assignment. Lender agrees to obtain Sharely's consent before waiving and/or enforcing any rights in connection with the Receivables in court or in debt collection proceedings if doing so may in good faith adversely affect Sharely's interests in any way. Sharely may not refuse consent without reasonable cause.

    5. A fee will be deducted from the total amount ("brokerage fee"). This is a service fee to be paid to Sharely for the operation of the Online Platform as well as the takeover of the receivables. Sharely has the right to adjust the service fee at any time according to clause [1.4] of these T&C. For rental agreements concluded before this change, the service fee that was valid at the time of the conclusion of the rental agreement applies. Sharely is entitled to deduct the service fee from the payment or to offset it against this or other, future payments.

    6. The user is obligated to ensure that the credit card as well as other means of payment with which he makes any payments according to these T&C are valid and have the required coverage. The user must fully compensate Sharely for all costs incurred by Sharely because total amounts owed are not paid on time.

    7. Sharely is solely responsible for the invoicing as well as the collection of the receivables and may for this purpose cooperate with external companies and specialized service providers (e.g. factoring, collection or credit card companies) and further assign or sell the receivables to such. The Lender has no right to reassignment of the receivables, but only a right to payment in accordance with section [7.8] of these T&C.

    8. Sharely shall remit the rental article fees, less the insurance fee and the service fee, to the Lender within ten (10) days after the return of the rental item ("Disbursement"), unless the Lender has objected to Sharely in writing [contact form] within twenty-four (24) hours after the return or non-acceptance of the rental item. After the expiration of this period, the settlement shall be deemed accepted without reservation.

    9. If an objection as aforesaid is made in due time and form, Sharely shall be entitled to continue to hold the disputed rent in trust until the Borrower's or Lender's consent to the remittance of the rent has been obtained, Sharely has been provided with a legally binding decision by the competent authority, or Sharely concludes in good faith that the Borrower's or Lender's request was not justified. No interest shall accrue on the rent even during the period of delay in the payment of charges to the Lender or Borrower.

    10. All possible claims for damages of the Borrower against Sharely, which are based on the fact that Sharely was not entitled to transfer the rent to the Lender despite the Borrower's objection, are excluded.

    11. The user is prohibited from circumventing the aforementioned provisions of this clause 7, in particular the service fees.

  8. User data

    3. The User is solely responsible for the correctness, accuracy and legality of the user data as well as its adequate protection and backup. In the relationship between the user and Sharely, the user retains sole ownership of its user data. User shall not include any regulated information or sensitive personal data. If certain user data is subject to government regulation or requires security measures beyond those of Sharely, the user will not enter, provide, or permit such user data to be entered, provided, or permitted unless expressly permitted by law or with Sharely's prior written consent. The user agrees to indemnify Sharely and all Sharely affiliates, directors and employees against any claims arising out of or in connection with any breach of this clause.

    4. Both parties agree to comply with applicable data protection laws. The user is the data controller with respect to the personal data he/she provides to Sharely during the term of the contract, and Sharely is the data processor with respect to such data. Sharely is entitled to make backup copies of the user's personal data if this is necessary for the proper provision of the services or due to applicable laws and regulations.

    5. All personal data processed by Sharely under these T&C will be processed in accordance with Sharely's Privacy Policy .

Notwithstanding any other provision of these T&C, the user expressly agrees that any and all warranty, guarantee or other claims or demands for defects in quality or title, incorrect or late deliveries and/or defective or faulty rental property arising out of a rental agreement may only be asserted between the respective parties to the rental agreement.

    2. Sharely's and its affiliates' total liability for direct damages, of any kind or legal nature whatsoever, arising out of these T&C, the use of the Online Platform or the rental items is excluded to the maximum extent permitted by law.

These T&C remain valid until all rental contracts concluded prior to the termination have expired. Payments already made will not be refunded.

    4. The right to terminate the contract immediately pursuant to mandatory applicable law remains unaffected. Either party may terminate the agreement in particular if the other party (i) ceases operations without a successor; or (ii) seeks protection in bankruptcy, receivership, trust, creditors' agreement, composition or similar proceedings or if such proceedings are instituted against such party.

    5. Sharely may suspend, revoke or restrict the user's use of the services if there is a material breach of the user's obligations, a breach of security or a violation of law. If the cause of the suspension can be reasonably remedied, Sharely will notify user of the action to be taken to resume use of the services. If the user does not take these measures within a reasonable period of time, Sharely may terminate the contract. The user is not entitled to a refund of payments already made. Sharely reserves the right to claim damages.

    6. Within a reasonable time after termination or expiration of these T&C, for whatever reason, Sharely will delete available user data and user's personal data. Sharely is entitled to retain personal data to the extent required by applicable law.

  12. Miscellaneous

    1. Neither party shall be responsible for damages and delays based on causes beyond the control of the respective contractual partner. Such causes are in particular strikes, lockouts, labor disputes, natural disasters, military conflicts, legal or official orders.

    2. Neither party may assign these T&C or any rights arising hereunder without the prior written consent of the other party. However, either party may assign these T&C to a successor to all or substantially all of that party's business, whether by merger, sale of assets or otherwise. These T&C shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors of the parties. There is no restriction on the assignment of Sharely's rights to receive payment or the assignment by Sharely in connection with the sale of the portion of Sharely's business comprising the services.

    3. Any invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of these T&C shall not invalidate or render unenforceable the remaining provisions. Invalid or unenforceable provisions shall be deemed severable. Any such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision shall be replaced with a valid, legal and enforceable provision that is as similar as possible to the invalid provision and its original intent, in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

    4. Should a party fail to exercise rights to which it is entitled under the contract, or fail to do so in a timely manner, this shall not result in a forfeiture or loss of such rights. The non-exercise or delayed exercise of a right shall in no case result in such right no longer being exercisable.

    5. These T&C are governed exclusively by Swiss substantive law, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, with Zurich as the place of jurisdiction, subject to mandatory statutory provisions (in particular provisions of the applicable consumer law).
