Any costs for administrative expenses incurred in processing such claims (e.g. processing of fines, insurance claims and further correspondence for settlement) shall be charged to the Customer by way of compensation as a fixed Processing Fee per case in accordance with the Service Fees Schedule, unless the Customer is able to prove that no, or a lesser expense was incurred by Whizascoot. Whizascoot reserves its rights to claim damages from the Customer in excess of the fixed expense allowance. Such Processing Fees are non-refundable unless any fines, penalties, fees and costs have been erroneously charged by Whizascoot.

6.   In case of serious culpable breaches of these T&Cs, including a delay in payment, Whizascoot can temporarily or permanently exclude the
customer from the vehicle use with immediate effect and block access to the Whizascoot App. The exclusion will be communicated to the customer.

Vehicle Use

3.     Prior to operating a Vehicle, the customer is required to inspect the Vehicle for any signs of damage and must inform Whizascoot immediately if any such damage is observed via the Whizascoot App or by communicating with the Customer Engagement Centre on +356 2099 5555. If the customer fails to inform Whizascoot, he/she will be liable to pay a Service Fee as set out in Annex 1.

If the customer fails to pay for any violations incurred, and Whizascoot pays such violations, the customer agrees that Whizascoot may charge the customer’s payment method on record in accordance with the agreement.
