  • Failure or disappearance of the tenant's legal entity;
  • Serious fault or default on the part of the tenant;
  • Violation of general rental conditions;
  • Failure to meet payment obligations.
    1. Unless the renter voluntarily returns the good, SAMSOUMI has the right to retrieve the rented materials without any reminder or judicial authorization at the place where the materials are stored.

    3. The lessee is obliged to immediately notify SAMSOUMI of any change in his corporate form, seat, activities, as well as of any failure of the lessee's legal entity. The renter also immediately informs if third-party creditors have attached the rented materials or if the materials are the subject of a judicial attachment. In this case, the renter also notifies the creditors/curator of the rental contract and SAMSOUMI's retention of title.
    4. Damages caused to the rented goods during the rental period are the full responsibility of the renter (including theft and vandalism). The renter is obliged to reimburse SAMSOUMI for the disadvantage suffered by SAMSOUMI due to damage, destruction, loss or disappearance of the equipment. The prejudice consists of the repair of the material damage (including loss of value), the replacement of the destroyed or disappeared material, as well as all prejudicial consequences resulting from the damage, destruction or disappearance of the rented material. In this case, the lessee must also be responsible for the loss of rental income from the moment the damage occurred until the moment the material (or the replacement material) can be used again for renting.
    5. The renter will not be able to invoke fault of third parties or force majeure against SAMSOUMI. The renter is obliged to properly insure the rented property for all possible risks and must explicitly mention SAMSOUMI as co-insured.
    6. The renter will also be liable for all damages caused to third parties. The renter will indemnify and relieve SAMSOUMI if he is held liable by third parties due to damages caused by the rented equipment during the rental period of the renter.
    7. The renter is responsible for any risk and liability arising from the transport of the rented equipment if this transport is carried out by the renter himself.
