Terms

1. Validity of the agreement

  1. Applicable Terms and conditions are relevant for everyone who uses MyCamper’s Service and for the lease.

  2. MyCamper reserves the right to change or add Content to these Terms and conditions at its discretion. The most current Terms and conditions can be found on the Platform.

  3. In the event that the applicable Terms and conditions change considerably or receive new additions, the new Terms and conditions will be mentioned the next time you use the Platform. When continued use of the Platform after changes/additions has taken place, it is an acceptance of these changes/additions. Contradictions to this must result in the termination of the User's use of MyCamper's Services and the termination of the User Account.

  4. In the event that the Owner and Renter have accepted user agreements in different languages ​​and there are differences between them, the English agreement shall apply.

2. The Platform

  1. The User understands that the purpose of MyCamper's Platform is to unite Owners and Renters so that they can enter into lease agreements with each other via the Platform. MyCamper facilitates this, but does not have a thorough knowledge of or involvement in the information exchanged between Users on the Platform and the Vehicles made available via the Platform. MyCamper is not a party to any Rental agreement and is therefore not obligated in any way. MyCamper does not generally offer its own Vehicles for rent, rather it merely brokers contracts between the Users. MyCamper can also display Vehicles on the Platform for test/advertising purposes. MyCamper may review the information communicated on the Platform by Users.

  2. The User agrees that the Service only offers the functionality and tools available when they use the Platform. MyCamper denies strongly expressed and implied assurances, commitments and guarantees of all kinds, including but not limited to guarantees, commitments and disclaimers regarding the quality, safety, legal, integrity and accuracy of the Service and the information provided through it, unless otherwise stated.

  3. MyCamper does not guarantee that their Service will always be available or operate without interruption or malfunction. MyCamper is not responsible for any damage caused by temporary unavailability.

  4. MyCamper reserves the right to change, edit or close its Platform or Service without obligation to Users. In the event that the User does not agree to newly implemented changes and/or edits, the User is to cease to use MyCamper’s Services and terminate their account.

  5. MyCamper reserves the right, without notice and without obligation to the Users, to withdraw or limit its Service, whenever deemed necessary, for example in the event of an unavoidable need for maintenance work on the Platform.

3. The Rental agreement

  1. The Owner sets a desired price for rental, mileage cost and other conditions such as cleaning fees, additionally supplied material or early/late Check-In/Check-Out. Prices and conditions for a given Booking are set at the time of a Booking request and are not affected by any changes the Owner makes to their profile or advertisement thereafter. It is the Owner's responsibility to ensure that the Owner's prices are correct. MyCamper is not responsible for an Owner's incorrect pricing.

  2. Should the Renter return the Vehicle early, should the agreed mileage not be used up or should the booked options not be used, this will not entitle the Renter to a rent reduction.

  3. When a Renter is interested in renting a Vehicle, they should send a Booking request to the Owner for the dates they want to rent. The Renter shall not send Booking requests to multiple Owners at the same time. MyCamper can then cancel any non-accepted Booking requests made by the Renter for the same time period.

  4. There will be different Booking methods on the Platform, whereby the Owner can choose which Booking method will be used when setting up the Vehicle on the Platform: the Owner decides whether they wish to offer their Vehicle on the Platform on a instant basis (without their further consent) or on a conditional basis (with their further consent). If the Owner offers their Vehicle for rental to third parties with their further consent, the Booking request of the Renter to the Owner constitutes a binding request to the Owner, so that after the acceptance of the Booking request by the Owner the Booking becomes binding. If the Owner offers their Vehicle for binding rental (without their further consent) to third parties, a Renter can make a binding online Booking directly for the Vehicle offered by the Owner on the Platform, or the Booking conclusion/contract conclusion comes about through the Renter’s Booking. MyCamper reserves the right to offer additional Booking methods in the future, in addition to the two previous Booking methods

  5. Once a Booking has been confirmed, both Parties can view the details of the Booking on the Platform.

  6. The Insurance terms determine whether the Booking is covered by the insurance. The insurance is non-mandatory. 

  7. The duration of the rental contract may only be altered or adjusted via the Platform. Should the rental duration be extended or should the rental sum be increased, MyCamper must be informed of such so that the insurance is extended to the corresponding date and is entitled to charge an additional service fee based on the difference between the original and final rental sum. In all cases, the adjustment must be set out in the rental contract in writing and be made via the Platform.

  8. If the Vehicle is rented out to a friend/person whom the Owner did not encounter on the Platform and the rental is for a below-regular rate executed over the Platform merely to enable insurance coverage, the Owner has to notify MyCamper thereof. MyCamper will then manually adjust the insurance premium to reflect market price premiums.

4. Registration and account

  1. A User must create an account according to the instructions on the Platform. The User guarantees that the information provided when creating the account is complete and correct. No pseudonyms or nicknames may be used. In case of the provision of false information, it may be the case, in particular, that the insurance coverage cannot be guaranteed.

  2. The User may only register once as Renter and once as Owner. The User agrees that all activities carried out on the Platform under their access data will be assigned to them as if they were their own. Should the access data of the User be misused by third parties, they will incur liability as if the actions were their own.

  8. Users agree that MyCamper and Insurers may verify the User's creditworthiness, identity, driving behavior, vehicle ownership and criminal records through external services and databases. Please note that this means that personal data, including social security numbers, can be shared with these external services. Any debts or payment remarks and their nature will NOT be explicitly published on the Platform, but they may form the basis for any recommendations from MyCamper to the vehicle owner or prevent the User from using MyCamper's Services.

  9. The User is individually responsible for keeping their login information secret. Users may not share their User information with third parties, or allow third parties access to their Account in any way.

  2. If a User has entered any information that is in conflict with this Rental agreement or any of MyCamper's other agreements, the latter shall prevail.

If the Renter or the Owner does not fulfill their obligations in accordance with the prevailing Terms and conditions, this is not something for which MyCamper can be held responsible in any way.

    2. Is unable to drive the Vehicle;

    3. Is unable to present a valid and recognized driving license for the country where the Vehicle is registered.

    In the above cases, the Owner can terminate the Rental agreement without paying any fees, fines or other penalties (MyCamper will ask for clarification regarding this).

  11. The Renter may refuse to rent the Vehicle if the Renter has reasonable grounds to suspect that:

    1. The Vehicle Owner does not meet the requirements set out in §5 Terms for Owners;

  12. When picking up the Vehicle, the Renter and the Owner must together go through and approve Check-In according to the Platform's instructions. The purpose of Check-in is to document the Vehicle's current condition, including any faults, damage and insufficient cleaning. Only when the Check-in has been completed and approved, the responsibility for the Vehicle passes to the Renter. Any errors or damages that are discovered after the Check-in approval are on the Renter to prove that they existed before they took over the Vehicle.

  13. Upon returning the Vehicle, the Renter and the Owner must together go through and approve Check-Out according to the Platform's instructions. The condition of the Vehicle is again documented in the Check-Out. Only when the Check-Out has been completed and approved does the responsibility for the Vehicle transfer to the Owner again.

  14. The Renter is responsible for returning the Vehicle as follows:

    1. On the set date, time and place unless otherwise agreed in writing with the Owner. In case of late arrival, the Owner has the right to charge the Renter as follows: CHF/EUR 50 or NOK/SEK 500 or DKK 360 per full hour of delay, up to a maximum charge equal to twice the Owner's daily rental rate. In instances where the Vehicle return extends beyond the Check-Out day, the maximum charge will be twice the Owner's daily rental rate for each day of delay, including the Check-Out day. The maximum charges are calculated according to the pricing of the relevant booking. Late arrivals must be documented and proved by the Owner. Administrative fees may be added by MyCamper;

    2. Without having left personal belongings in the Vehicle;

    3. Without violating any traffic or parking rules. All such violations during the Rental period are always responsibility of and charged to the Renter;

    6. In the same condition regarding cleanliness and damages as was approved at Check-in, unless otherwise expressly agreed in the Rental agreement or when picking up the Vehicle. In the event of a deviation from this point, the Renter may be charged an additional cleaning fee or compensation for damage. Cleaning fees should not exceed the specified limits, which are CHF/EUR 100, SEK/NOK 1,000, or DKK 700 per hour, and should not exceed a total of CHF/EUR 300, SEK/NOK 3,000, or DKK 2,100.

  15. The principle applies that the cost of vehicle parts which break down due to common use, wear and tear (engine, alternator) will be borne by the Owner, and vehicle parts which break down due to a different use or incorrect behavior on the part of the Renter (improper use) will be borne by the Renter. The used materials stated in the Terms and conditions of rental of MyCamper are excluded from the above. If defects or damages occur to the Vehicle during the Rental period which preclude or significantly impair the suitability of the Vehicle for normal use and/or the further rental of the Vehicle, the Renter must inform the Owner and MyCamper of this in writing. If these defects or damages are not the result of misconduct on the part of the Renter, but are due to wear and tear, the Owner is obliged to reimburse the Renter pro rata for the time lost.

  16. Exterior cleaning is the responsibility of the Owner.

  17. The Renter must use the Vehicle themself in the course of the rental contract and must not hand it over to third parties (except authorized additional drivers) and must not sublet it.

  18. The Renter must not load the Vehicle with objects which overload capacity, impair safety or damage the Vehicle. The Renter must be aware of the maximum load weight and is responsible for any damage and fines may be held liable if this is exceeded.

  22. The Renter must not carry out any optical or technical alterations to the Vehicle or unilaterally carry out repairs. Should repairs become necessary in order to ensure the operational security and roadworthiness of the Vehicle, these may only be engaged by the Renter from a professional company with the advance agreement of the Owner. Unless fault is present on the part of the Renter, the costs of repairs will be refunded by the Owner following provision of the original receipts.

  23. The Renter must not release the Vehicle or gift it to other persons.

  24. In the event of a dispute between Renter and Owner, MyCamper may act as an intermediary, but remain without liability for any costs or damages.

  25. Cases of force majeure, such as strikes, riots, civil commotion, riots, terrorist acts, natural disasters, fires, pandemics, epidemics, etc., which are beyond the reasonable control of the Parties and which occur after the conclusion of the contract or which did not yet exist at the time of the conclusion of the contract, shall release both the Renter and the Owner for the duration of the disruption and to the extent of its effect (on the planned trip) from their obligations to provide services in accordance with the rental contract and these Terms and conditions. In this case, the Parties shall provide the other party with the necessary information without delay within the bounds of what is reasonable. However, both Parties shall resume their respective services under the Rental agreement and these Terms and conditions immediately after the event has ceased. If a case of force majeure lasts for more than 3 consecutive months, both the Owner and the Renter may terminate the rental contract for good cause. In this case, the Owner’s share shall not be due.

8. Cancellation policy

  1. Both Parties may cancel or decline a Booking request without any costs or obligations to the other party, provided that the Booking has not yet been confirmed.

The Owner must be able to prove the exceptions a) and b). MyCamper has the last word on the circumstances invoked as exceptional grounds for a) or b) and has the right to investigate them. In the event that a claim for force majeure proves to be unreliable, administration, research and other costs associated with MyCamper's investigation in relation to this will be charged to the Owner.

  3. In addition to getting the Rental amount back, the Renter can not claim any other compensation due to the Owner having canceled a confirmed Booking.

  4. Returning the Vehicle before the set date is permitted, provided that an agreement has been reached between the Owner and the Renter. In the event of this, however, no part of the Rental amount will be refunded.

  1. The Rental agreement lasts a certain period. The Renter and the Owner can only terminate the lease before it expires, in accordance with MyCamper's cancellation policy in §8 Cancellation policy.

  2. The Booking is considered to be canceled by the Renter if they have not picked up the Vehicle within 24 hours after the agreed pick-up time in the Rental agreement. This does not result in a refund of any part of the Rental amount.

  3. Returning the Vehicle before the end of the Rental period is considered to terminate the Rental agreement but does not affect the Rental amount.

  4. Extension of the Rental period is possible only via MyCamper's Platform. A change request is created by the Renter and must be accepted by the Owner. If an extension of the Rental period is not accepted, the agreed Rental period stated in the Rental agreement applies.

10. Damages, retroactive costs and fines

  1. The Renter is obliged to pay for all damage to the Vehicle and/or equipment that occurs during the Rental period, at the full cost per individual incident limited to the Deductible. If the Vehicle is covered by the insurance, the Deductible is determined by the Insurance terms. Otherwise, the Deductible is determined by the Owner before the creation of the Booking’s Rental agreement. The Deductible is calculated on each individual incident, if there are several damages from an incident, it is covered by the same Deductible. The Renter is not obligated to compensate the Owner for any lost future income.

  2. The Deductible only applies to damage to the Vehicle and/or equipment. The Owner can not claim compensation for damages that exceed the Deductible if there has been no more than one incident and no more than one insurance case must be performed. The Owner can, if they want, insure themselves for excess costs.

  3. The amount of compensation for damage to the Vehicle and/or equipment shall be based on the market value.

  4. In the event of damage to the Vehicle or any of the Vehicle's inventory, the Owner needs to provide proof of purchase as documentation for the cost.

  5. In the event of superficial damage of an aesthetic nature occurring during the rental term, the Owner shall give preference to repair instead of replacement of the affected part. The cost of repair shall be borne by the Renter. Superficial damage of an aesthetic nature may include, but is not limited to, the following: non-removable stains (oil, coffee, etc.) on fabrics such as mattresses, curtains or similar surfaces, scratches on any type of surface such as doors, partitions, cabinets, floors, etc., splinters on delicate surfaces such as sinks, sinks, showers, lamps, etc., scuffs on partitions, cabinets, doors, etc., small burn marks on tables, countertops, fabrics, floors, etc. If it is not possible to repair superficial damage of an aesthetic nature, the Renter is obliged to compensate the Owner. The Parties shall agree on a reasonable compensation taking into account the extent of the damage and the original price of the damaged element. Depending on the country in which the rental takes place, the Renter can take out an additional interior insurance during the Booking, which covers the damages in the interior according to the insurance conditions. In the event of discrepancies, disputes or claims between the Renter and the Owner, the requesting party must be able to provide corresponding evidence (photos, invoices, etc.) to MyCamper or to the other party. Liability is limited to the repair or replacement cost of the damaged item(s) and does not extend to undamaged items or components. If the damaged item is part of a set (e.g., pillowcases, sheets, dishes), the Renter is responsible only for the replacement cost of the damaged item, not the entire set. In all cases the repair or remedy should be done at the lowest possible costs. 

  6. In serious cases or in case of defects/damage to the Vehicle, MyCamper can engage an independent expert to record and assess the defects/damage final for the Parties. The costs of the above shall be billed to the Owner and Renter at basically 50% each. If, after the expert's assessment, one party is found to be in the wrong, that party shall bear the costs of the expert or, if both Parties are found to be partly in the wrong, the Renter and the Owner shall bear the costs of the expert in proportion to their prevailing/subject position. The defect/damage thus determined by the expert is binding for the Renter as well as the Owner. 

  7. All countries where the Owner's international insurance card is valid and where the Rental agreement's rules give permission to go to, can be visited with the Vehicle. Countries that are entirely or partially at war, as well as countries that are likely to be at war or unrest, may not be visited.

  8. In case of Vehicles which are covered by MyCamper-intermediated insurance solution, the general Terms and conditions of the insurance shall always take precedence to deviate from any insurance conditions at any time.

  9. In the event that the police or the judiciary seize the Vehicle because the Renter according to them was in possession of drugs, drove carelessly, has neglected to take care of the Vehicle, or has been involved in other crimes or violations, the Renter is obliged to compensate the Owner for all damages and for lost profits linked to accepted Bookings that are prevented or made more difficult. All costs that the Owner needs to pay due to the above, legal and otherwise, will be charged to the Renter.

  10. The Owner shall be held completely indemnified, regardless of Deductible, for the costs and losses incurred by the Renter or the Travel company in the event of irresponsible, negligent or willful conduct that results in a burglary of the Vehicle, theft of or from the Vehicle, and damage to the Vehicle.

  11. In case of a breakdown of a Vehicle covered by insurance, proceed according to the information published on the Platform under insurance. Should the roadside assistance already be included with the Vehicle or should the Renter be insured as a person, the Renter is obliged to contact this breakdown service as quickly as possible. If the Vehicle has no breakdown cover and the Renter has not booked the breakdown service in the Booking process, the Renter must pay the costs in connection with the breakdown him or herself. In all cases, the Owner must be informed immediately in case of a breakdown.

  12. The Renter is obliged to notify the Owner immediately in the event of a breakdown or accident, to complete the European Accident Report and, if necessary, to notify the local police if an accident/damage to the Vehicle occurs, for example due to an accident or theft during the Rental period. In case of a damage or accident of a Vehicle covered by the MyCamper-Baloise insurance, proceed according to the information sheet "What to do in the event of a breakdown or claim”, which can be found on the Platform in the Booking details or was sent with the booking confirmation. In all other cases, the Renter must notify the Owner and his Vehicle insurance immediately.

  13. The Owner is never responsible for any personal, psychological, material, consequential or bodily injuries that the Renter or the Travel company suffers due to the use of the Vehicle, mechanical faults, traffic accidents, single or series collision, unless the damage occurred due to defects in the Vehicle which the Owner knew about but did not inform the Renter about.

  14. If there is a defective condition or previous damage to the Vehicle prior to an insured loss event, so that the Owner gains added value through the repair of the insured loss, the vehicle owner must bear the correspondingly appropriate share of the costs of the repair himself (benefit offset). In the case of damage payments that have already been made (to the vehicle owner) but which have not been repaired, only the costs of the damage extension will be compensated in the event of a new damage to the same damage zone of the Vehicle, or the payments already made will be deducted from the damage amount.

  15. In the event that the Owner tries to obtain compensation from the Renter for damages that occurred before the Rental period, all costs for necessary expertise, claim management and additional administrative costs will be charged to the Owner with a minimum of CHF/EUR 1,000 or SEK/NOK 10,000 or DKK 7,000 per event. The police may be notified and the Owner may be charged with insurance fraud.

  16. If the Vehicle is not covered by the insurance, the Owner is individually responsible for notifying their current insurance company that the Vehicle is used for renting out and to ensure that insurance also applies to renting out. If necessary, the Owner must calculate whether the permitted mileage of the Vehicle's current insurance company needs to be changed, and notify the insurance company of this. The Owner is also responsible for ensuring that the necessary Rental permits are in place.

  17. At Check-out, the Owner can indicate extra costs to be paid by the Renter. These include, but are not limited to: surcharges for driving a longer distance, traffic fines, customs duties, damages, Deductibles, fees for delayed return of Vehicles or necessary cleaning of the Vehicle. Extra costs will be paid to the Owner after they have been collected from the Renter. An additional administrative fee may apply.

  18. The Owner can claim additional costs for up to six months from the end of the Rental period. The Owner must then be able to present indisputable evidence that these costs arose during the Rental period.

  19. If the Renter wishes to object to the payment of additional costs incurred after Check-out, they must notify the Owner via the Platform within the specified deadline or within 14 days if a deadline is not specified. If this is not done, the Renter is deemed to have agreed to pay the extra costs.

  20. If the Vehicle ceases to function (is not drivable or is unusable) for reasons not attributable to the Renter or their Travel company, and the Owner does not offer a replacement Vehicle for the remaining Rental period, the Owner must pay back pro-rata part of the Rental amount, excluding insurance cost and service fee, corresponding to the time the Vehicle could not be used. The Renter must be able to present indisputable evidence that the fault is not due to them. If both the Renter and the Owner provide corresponding evidence regarding (non)fault, so that it cannot be conclusively clarified between the Renter and the Owner what the breakdown is due to or who is at fault, a half refund for the Renter is due for the corresponding Rental period. Regardless of which party caused the error, MyCamper can help the Renter find a replacement vehicle. However, MyCamper has no obligation to provide replacement vehicles.

  21. The Renter is responsible for damage that occurs due to punctures on tyres that are not older than eight years. The Owner must be able to present indisputable evidence that the tyres are not older than eight years. If the tyres are older than eight years, the Owner will be responsible for the damage unless the bursting of the tyre is due to an accident event related to the Renter's driving.

  22. No compensation to the Owner is paid either by MyCamper or by the Renter if the Owner needs to transport himself to their Vehicle before, during or after the Rental period.

  23. If the Owner has included one or more of the following prohibitions in their vehicle profile at the time of Booking, the Renter will be given the following fine for neglecting the prohibition. The Owner must be able to show indisputable evidence that the Travel company has violated the rules. Fines are paid in the Owner's currency and administrative fees may be added by MyCamper.

    4. To visit a festival with the Vehicle CHF/EUR 500, SEK/NOK 5,000 or DKK 3,500 

  24. If both the Owner and the Renter present proof under §10.11-10.17 and it is not possible to say definitively who was right, the Owner and the Renter shall be responsible for half the current amount each. MyCamper has no obligation to replace or compensate the Owner or Renter.

  25. Should the Owner or Renter owe any balance to MyCamper, MyCamper may invoice the Renter or Owner, or, if a future Booking exists, MyCamper may offset the outstanding amount with amounts of any future Booking.
