3. Insured risks: The Customer is aware of and accepts the terms and coverages stipulated in the Policies previously taken out by the Rental Company, as a guarantee against any eventual damage, direct or indirect, that may arise from any cause whatsoever throughout the duration of the agreed works or services. Any excess damage or risks not covered under such policies shall not be attributable to the Lessor, and consequently they shall only be insured upon the express request of the Customer and at the Customer's expense.

In order for the excess value of the goods to be lifted, transported and/or stored to be covered by the insurance company, it shall be mandatory to notify Transgruma S.A. in writing of the type of goods and their total value prior to the performance of the service, in order to take out the corresponding insurance extension endorsement.

The processing of insurance coverage extensions exceeding the previously referenced limits will entail a processing fee of €300 in addition to the amount of the extension and the corresponding taxes.

5. Limitation of liability: No compensation may be claimed from the Landlord for loss of enjoyment, whatever the cause, delays, accidents, strikes or force majeure.

6. Precautions: The contracting parties agree to carry out all work with absolute compliance with the precautionary and safety measures stipulated in current legislation. To prevent potential accidents, the Client or Hirer shall prevent unauthorised persons from being present in areas close to the machinery. When the client orders any manoeuvre using any tool or accessory belonging to them, the Hirer shall not be responsible for any damage or flaws that may arise from the breakage or poor condition of the same.

7. Site: The machinery shall be located at the site or sites designated when contracting the works, and may not be moved without the express consent of the hiring company. The customer or lessee must guarantee the condition of the ground to withstand the weight of

the Machinery and its load, and shall be directly liable for any damage or injury that may arise from faults in the base, ground, fixings, tracks or structures used to support the Machinery and its corresponding load. The Customer is obliged to provide the Lessor with accurate details regarding the weights, dimensions and value of the goods to be handled. Any omissions or misrepresentations in this regard shall exempt the Lessor from all liability, whether direct or indirect, for any damage that may be caused as a result of the incident, including damage to the Machinery itself.

8. Duration: The rental period begins from the moment the machine leaves the depot or base where it is located. The rental ends after the contracted work is completed, at the moment the respective machines are delivered to the usual bases.

9. Legal provisions: The Customer or Lessee shall, throughout the entire duration of the contract, ensure the actual compliance with the legal or regulatory provisions stipulated regarding the work or services performed, rectifying any irregularities directly attributable to them, as well as immediately notifying the Lessor so that the Lessor may resolve any that may eventually correspond to them.

11. Machine replacement rights: The hirer, throughout the entire duration of the contracted work or service and while maintaining the agreed standards, reserves the right to replace any machine, substituting it with one or more machines capable of carrying out the agreed work, with the expenses resulting from the change or new location being borne by them.

12. Services and current prices: In consideration for the works, the Hirer shall apply the General Service Rules and the Current Prices.
