If applicable, so far as permitted by section 107 of the PPS Act the Customer will have no rights under sections 114, 116, 120, 121, 125, 126, 127, 129 and 131 and 133 of the PPS Act, including the right to receive any notices. The Customer agrees if applicable that Dräger may exercise its rights under sections 109 and 120 concurrently, and that repossession and retention of goods under sections 120 – 123 will immediately extinguish any rights and/or interests the Customer may have in the goods and that Dräger may allocate any monies it receives to debts, charges and expenses in any priority it determines.

9.13 The Customer agrees that the Customer's account may be debited with the costs of registration of a financing statement and all other costs associated with the perfection and enforcement of the security interest (including full client/solicitor costs).

9.14 The Customer shall ensure that all third parties who may from time to time hire or lease any goods subject to a security interest in favour of Dräger (when sold on credit and not paid for in full) from the Customer are advised of Dräger's security interest in such goods.

10. CANCELLATION

10.1 To the full extent permitted by law, orders for goods specifically acquired by Dräger for the Customer shall not be cancelled by the Customer without Dräger’s written consent. The cancellation of any order shall be made on terms which indemnify Dräger against all loss.

11. CUSTOMER’S SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS

11.1 Changes to the specifications at the Customer’s request either at the time of placing the order or thereafter will only be accepted at Dräger’s discretion. Such changes will only take effect when agreed in writing by Dräger and which may result in a price increase.

12. WARRANTIES AND EXTENT OF LIABILITY

12.6 Notwithstanding clause 12.1 and 12.3, the maximum aggregate liability of Dräger for any claims made by the Customer (whether in contract, tort or otherwise), shall be limited to the lesser of:

12.8.3 all warranties, conditions and other terms implied by the CGA or sections 9, 12A and 13 of the FTA or any other statute or common law are excluded from these terms to the fullest extent permitted by law and that such exclusion is fair and reasonable.

17. FORCE MAJEURE

21. WAIVER

21.1 Failure by Dräger to insist upon strict performance by the Customer of any terms and conditions contained herein shall not be taken to be a waiver thereof or of any rights of Dräger in relation thereto and in any event shall not be taken to be a waiver of the same terms and conditions on any subsequent occasion and shall not discharge the Customer from any of its obligations pursuant to these terms and conditions.

22. LIENS

24 VOIDABILITY OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS

24.1 The Customer acknowledges that these terms and conditions are subject to any rights and obligations arising between the parties pursuant to any legislation or by implication of a law and specifically acknowledge that this contract is not intended and will not operate to override any rights and obligations that cannot be excluded at law .

Revision: 29-Apr-2019

In these Terms and Conditions, “Dräger” means Draeger New Zealand Limited (company number 6253409) or any related company. The “Lessee” means the person, firm, corporation, government or semi government authority renting equipment and/or services and includes its employees, contractors and agents.

1. Scope

1.1 These Standard Rental Terms and Conditions ("SRTC") apply to the rental of equipment described in further detail in the agreed quote ("Rented Equipment") by Dräger to the Lessee.

1.2 This SRTC and the agreed quote constitute the entire agreement between Dräger and the Lessee except where Dräger and the Lessee expressly agree in writing to incorporate other terms.

1.3 Dräger reserves the right to decline to rent or lease any Rented Equipment.

2. Delivery and Terms of Use

2.1 Transport costs for delivery of the Rented Equipment will be billed by Dräger separately and are not included in rent payments.

2.2 The Lessee shall unpack the Rented Equipment as soon as practicable upon its arrival in order to inspect for transport damage. In the event of transport damage, Dräger is to be notified as soon as practicable in order to safeguard any damages claims that may be pursued by Dräger against the carrier (postal service, rail service, freight company, etc.).

2.3 The Lessee will advise, in writing, the location (and any changes to the location) of the Rented Equipment if this differs from the delivery location specified in the agreed quote.

2.4 Dräger reserves the right to inspect the Rented Equipment at the Lessee’s premises, at any time during business hours provided that reasonable notice has been provided.

2.5 When using the Rented Equipment, the Lessee shall follow the operating instructions and comply with the applicable statutory and regulatory provisions.

2.6 If the Rented Equipment is contaminated with hazardous substances, the Lessee must promptly notify Dräger in writing providing, amongst any other relevant information, full details of the contamination and hazardous material. At Dräger’s discretion the Rented Equipment will either be professionally decontaminated or disposed of. If the contamination is caused or contributed to by the Lessee, the Lessee will bear the costs of appropriate professional decontamination or the cost of disposal and the replacement of the contaminated Rented Equipment based on the annual published list price.

2.7 The use of the Rented Equipment outside New Zealand is only allowed after prior consultation with Dräger and where permission is received in writing.

2.8 The Rented Equipment may only be transferred to third parties – e.g. by way of a sub-lease – with Dräger's prior written permission.

3. Term of Lease

3.1 The lease begins on the date of delivery of the Rented Equipment and ends upon expiry of the agreed Lease Term or on the agreed Return Date, as specified in the agreed quote. Where no Lease Term or Return Date has been expressly agreed, a minimum term of seven days and a maximum term of 1 year less one day shall apply.

3.2 The Lessee shall return the Rented Equipment to Dräger in good condition (subject to fair wear and tear) at the end of the Lease Term. Dräger expressly reserves the right to charge the Lessee for any costs incurred by Dräger as a result of the Rented Equipment having been improperly used or returned in a condition which does not comply with this clause.

3.3 The Lease Term may be extended by written agreement of the parties.

4. Rental Payments

4.1 The rental payments for the Rented Equipment and accessories and any additional services, e.g. courier costs, are set forth in the agreed quote.
For approved account holders, rental payments are due in full within 30 days of date of invoice. If the Lease Term is longer than 30 days, Dräger is entitled, but not obliged, to issue interim invoices.
For non-account holders, rental payments will be invoiced prior to delivery of the Rented Equipment.

4.2 If the Rented Equipment or part thereof is returned late, additional rental charges will apply at the same rate as the existing rental.

4.3 Where the amount of rental payments is not specifically agreed in any lease extension, the previously agreed amount of rent payments will continue to apply.

4.4 If the Rented Equipment or part thereof is returned earlier than agreed, rent payments will be calculated based on the actual term of the lease and any additional rental payments will not be more than the existing rental amounts. A fee totalling 15% of the agreed rental payments for the Rented Equipment will be charged to the Lessee if the Lessee cancels or terminates the Lease prior to the Rented Equipment being delivered, which the parties agree and acknowledge is a genuine pre-estimate of Dräger's loss.

5. Servicing and Maintenance of the Rented Equipment

5.1 The Lessee bears all of the costs of operating the Rented Equipment.

5.2 The Lessee shall treat the Rented Equipment with care, and when operating the Rented Equipment must carefully observe the operating instructions provided by Dräger or the manufacturer.

5.3 If the Rented Equipment is returned to Dräger in an unreasonably untidy state, the Lessee will be charged the necessary cleaning costs for each piece of Rented Equipment affected.

5.4 Only Dräger is authorised to carry out maintenance and repair work going beyond the calibrating, functionality testing and inspections that become necessary as a result of proper use of the Rented Equipment ("Servicing and Maintenance").

5.5 The Lessee is required to deliver Rented Equipment to Dräger for the necessary Servicing and Maintenance. Dräger will provide the Lessee with substitute equipment while Servicing and Maintenance is being carried out.

5.6 The Lessee bears the costs of Servicing and Maintenance during the Lease Term, except where the Rented Equipment is defective and the defect has not been caused by any wrongful or negligent act or omission of the Lessee.

5.7 The Lessee bears the costs of any repairs to the Rented Equipment that need to be carried out after the Lease Term arising from use during the Lease Term, unless otherwise agreed by the parties.

5.8 The Lessee shall keep the Rented Equipment free and clear of any encumbrances or security interests (other than security interests in favour of Dräger) and defend intervening action by third parties, e.g. compulsory execution proceedings. The Lessee shall notify Dräger without undue delay of any such intervening action and provide it with the relevant documents. The Lessee will pay all fees, contributions and other charges levied during the Lease Term as a result of the lease, possession or use of the Rented Equipment, or on the basis of the Lessee's capacity as registered operator of the Rented Equipment.

5.9 The Lessee may not combine the Rented Equipment with other equipment in such a way that it becomes an essential component of such other equipment. If the Rented Equipment is affixed to any land or building, this may only be done for a temporary purpose and with the intention of being detached again at the end of the lease. If the Lessee itself is not the owner of the relevant land or building, it must notify the owner that the Rented Equipment is being affixed or installed for a temporary purpose only.

5.10 As the Rented Equipment is in the Lessee's possession and therefore within the Lessee's area of responsibility, the Lessee bears the risk of any loss or damage to the Rented Equipment. If the Rented Equipment is lost or destroyed, the Lessee shall pay the replacement value based on the annual published list price.

6. End of lease

6.1 The Rented Equipment is to be returned to Dräger immediately on the end of the Lease Term to the address nominated by Dräger.

6.2 The Lessee shall at its own risk and expense, return the Rented Equipment, including any accessories and operating instructions.

6.3 The Lessee must ensure that on its return, the Rented Equipment is appropriately packaged and handled; the Lessee bears any repair or replacement costs incurred by Dräger as a result of transport damage.

7. Termination

7.1 Dräger is entitled to immediately terminate the lease of the Rented Equipment if any of the following events occur:
a. the Lessee defaults in paying any Rental Payment when due;
b. the Lessee breaches any material terms of an insurance policy in relation to the Rented Equipment;
c. the Lessee submits any of false statements or omissions in relation to this SRTC;
d. an application is made or resolution is passed to wind-up the Lessee, or the Lessee fails to pay its debts as they fall due;
e. the Lessee enters into or attempts to enter into any compromise or arrangement with its creditors (voluntary, informal or otherwise), has a liquidation order made against it, or passes or attempts to pass a resolution for liquidation;
f. the Lessee does any act which would render it liable to be liquidated or have a receiver or statutory manager appointed over its property, or a receiver, liquidator or other controller is appointed to the Lessee or any part of the Lessee’s assets or an administrator is appointed to the Lessee;
g. the insurance policy over the Rented Equipment is refused or cancelled or materially adversely modified;
h. the Lessee commits any act which may cause or permit or threatens the safety, condition or safe keeping of the Rented Equipment;
i. the Lessee fails to observe any material term of this SRTC and fails to rectify such failure within 14 days of written notice from Dräger;
j. an event of default (however described) occurs under any other agreement or arrangement between the Lessee and Dräger or between any related body corporate of the Lessee and Dräger;
k. the Lessee ceases to carry on business or the ownership or control of the Lessee materially changes; or
l. if the Lessee’s conduct indicates that the Lessee no longer intends to be bound by this SRTC.

7.2 If Dräger terminates this SRTC under clause 7.1, the Lessee must:
a. on receiving notice of termination, deliver the Rented Equipment back to Dräger in accordance with clause 6 without undue delay. If the Lessee fails to comply with this provision, Dräger has the right to repossess the Rented Equipment. The Lessee is solely responsible for the costs associated with returning the Rented Equipment;
b. pay to Dräger on demand the “Early Termination Amount”, being the sum of:
i. if less than 30 days left on Lease Term – full payment is due;
ii. if 30 days or more are left on the Lease Term, then payment for the month is due with the cancellation fee as listed in the agreed quote; and
iii. any additional reasonable costs incurred due to the early termination such as cost of repossession.
The parties agree and acknowledge that the Early Termination Amount is a genuine pre-estimate of Dräger's loss.
If the Lessee wishes to terminate this SRTC before the Lease Term expires, the Lessee can apply to Dräger in writing. Dräger will reasonably consider the application and decide at its discretion, acting reasonably, whether or not to allow it. Where Dräger permits the early termination of this SRTC, the Early Termination Amount as listed in clause 7.2(b) will apply.
The Lessee's liability under this clause does not limit any other rights at common law that Dräger may have against the Lessee for breach of this SRTC.

7.3 The Lessee is entitled to immediately terminate the lease of the Rented Equipment if any of the following events occur:
a. an application is made or resolution is passed to wind-up Dräger, or Dräger fails to pay its debts as they fall due;
b. Dräger enters into or attempts to enter into any compromise or arrangement with its creditors (voluntary, informal or otherwise), has a liquidation order made against it, or passes or attempts to pass a resolution for liquidation;
c. the Lessee does any act which would render it liable to be liquidated or have a receiver or statutory manager appointed over its property, or a receiver, liquidator or other controller is appointed to Dräger or any part of Dräger's assets or an administrator is appointed to Dräger;
d. Dräger fails to observe any material term of this SRTC and fails to rectify such failure within 14 days of written notice from the Lessee;

8. Liability, Indemnity and Release

8.1 The Lessee is liable for the risks associated with the Rented Equipment and will insure itself against such risks accordingly.

8.2 All insurance payments (except for third party liability insurance) are to be exclusively used for the purpose of repairing or replacing the damaged Rented Equipment.

8.3 The Lessee shall satisfy all third party claims associated with salvage and maintenance operations as and when they fall due.

8.4 The Lessee is liable for damage to and theft of the Rented Equipment and unconditionally and irrevocably indemnifies Dräger and its officers, agents and employees from and against all loss (including, without limitation, any loss of lease payments, residual or other revenue or capital loss or any loss of bargain or profit), damages, claims, liabilities, costs, taxes, charges and expenses (including legal expenses on a full indemnity basis) of whatever kind or nature, arising directly or indirectly from, or in respect of:
a. the delivery, installation, use or change of use, location, relocation, condition, operation, seizure, forfeiture or other confiscation of the Rented Equipment, or the loss, destruction, theft or damage of the Rented Equipment howsoever caused including loss of value resulting from insufficient, inadequate or faulty repair;
b. any claim or demand made by any third party in relation to the Rented Equipment or its possession, operation or use;
c. any damage to property or death of, or injury to, any person suffered or sustained in connection with the Rented Equipment or its possession, operation or use;
d. any failure by the Lessee to observe the Lessee's obligations under this SRTC or arising from any untrue or misleading representation, warranty or statement (including on tax matters) made by the Lessee in, or in connection with, this SRTC;
e. any reasonable steps taken by Dräger to administer, exercise, enforce or preserve any of Dräger’s rights under this SRTC;
f. any loss, reduction or disallowance of any depreciation allowance or of any tax deduction or rebate of any income or other tax upon which Dräger has relied in calculating the amount payable; or
g. the early termination of the Lease Term (to the extent not otherwise recoverable under this SRTC).

8.5 The Lessee will release Dräger, to the full extent permitted by law, from all claims and demands of every kind arising out of the delivery, installation, location, possession, operation or use of the Rented Equipment, including any liability which may arise in respect of any accident or damage to property or death of, or injury to, any person or arising out of any reasonable steps taken by Dräger’s to exercise, enforce or preserve Dräger’s rights under or in connection with this SRTC.

8.6 The indemnities and releases set out in this SRTC continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the termination (however occurring) of this SRTC.

9. Use of Rented Equipment

9.1 The Lessee warrants that the Rented Equipment is not acquired predominantly for personal, domestic or household use and it is acknowledged and agreed that:
a. the Lessee is acquiring the Rented Equipment for the purposes of a business in terms of sections 2 and 43(2) of the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 ("CGA");
b. the Rented Equipment is supplied and acquired in trade for the purposes of the Fair Trading Act 1986 ("FTA") and the parties agree to contract out of sections 9, 12A and 13 of the FTA; and
c. all warranties, conditions and other terms implied by the CGA or sections 9, 12A and 13 of the FTA or any other statute or common law are excluded from this SRTC to the fullest extent permitted by law and that such exclusion is fair and reasonable.

10. Ownership and Risk

10.1 Notwithstanding anything contained in this SRTC, Dräger shall retain the full legal and beneficial ownership and title in and to all Rented Equipment.

10.2 The Lessee acknowledges that, where the term of the lease is for more than 1 year, clause 10.1 (above) creates a security interest in the Rented Equipment in Dräger's favour for the purposes of the Personal Property Securities Act 1999 ("PPS Act") and to the extent applicable the PPS Act applies.

10.3 The Lessee acknowledges that Dräger may do anything reasonably necessary, including but not limited to registering any security interest which Dräger has over the Rented Equipment on the Personal Property Security Register established under section 139 of the PPS Act in order to perfect the security interest and comply with the requirements of the PPS Act.

10.4 The Lessee agrees to do all things reasonably necessary to assist Dräger to undertake the matters set out in 10.3 (above).

10.5 The Lessee waives its rights under the PPS Act to receive a copy of any verification statement otherwise required by the PPS Act. If applicable, so far as permitted by section 107 of the PPS Act the Lessee will have no rights under sections 114, 116, 120, 121, 125, 126, 127, 129 and 131 and 133 of the PPS Act, including the right to receive any notices. The Lessee agrees if applicable that Dräger may exercise its rights under sections 109 and 120 concurrently, and that repossession and retention of the Rented Equipment under sections 120 – 123 will immediately extinguish any rights and/or interests the Lessee may have in the Rented Equipment and that Dräger may allocate any monies it receives to debts, charges and expenses in any priority it determines.

10.6 The Lessee agrees that the Lessee's account may be debited with the costs of registration of a financing statement and all other costs associated with the perfection and enforcement of the security interest (including full client/solicitor costs).

10.7 The Lessee shall ensure that all third parties who may from time to time hire or lease any Rented Equipment subject to a security interest in favour of Dräger from the Lessee are advised of Dräger's security interest in such Rented Equipment.

11. General

11.1 Any notice or demand to be given by a party under this SRTC may be served on any other party by being left at or sent by pre-paid mail or transmitted by facsimile to that other party’s address set out in the agreed quote or otherwise as notified in writing by that other party for the purposes of this SRTC. The notice or demand will be treated as having been given and received:
a. if delivered, on the day of delivery;
b. if sent by pre-paid mail, 5 business day's following the date on which the notice or demand was sent; and
c. if transmitted by facsimile, on the day of transmission if a business day, or otherwise on the next business day.

11.2 No waiver by a party in relation to any breach of this SRTC by the other party will be deemed a waiver of any continuing or recurring breach.

11.3 All collateral agreements, reservations of title, amendments and other agreements pertaining to this SRTC must be in writing in order to be valid. Where a term of the lease is or becomes void, this shall not affect the validity of the other terms. If any provision or part of a provision of this SRTC is held or found to be void, invalid or otherwise unenforceable, it will be deemed to be severed to the extent that it is void or to the extent of voidability, invalidity or unenforceability, but the remainder of that provision will remain in full force and effect.

11.4 The place of jurisdiction is New Zealand.

11.5 This SRTC is governed by New Zealand law, subject to the exclusion of the UN Convention of Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and conflict of law provisions.
