5.1 General Responsibility of the Renter (client) 
The RENTER (CLIENT) (renter (client)/driver) shall bear full and exclusive responsibility for the vehicle during the entire rental period. This responsibility includes liability for any loss, theft, or damage to the vehicle, as well as damage to third‑party property, except where such damage is expressly covered under the applicable insurance terms of this Agreement. The RENTER (CLIENT) shall also be fully responsible for all traffic fines, penalties, tolls, parking violations, and any other charges incurred during the rental period, regardless of which authorized driver was operating the vehicle at the time. 
5.2 Accidents, Reporting, and Immediate Obligations 
In the event of an accident, the RENTER (CLIENT) must immediately notify both the police and the WUSMAR LDA (ONCARUS). The RENTER (CLIENT) must remain at the scene until police or emergency services arrive and must not move the vehicle without prior authorization from the police or the WUSMAR LDA (ONCARUS). An official police report must be obtained, and an accident report must be completed. Failure to comply with these requirements may result in the RENTER (CLIENT) being held fully liable for all repair and replacement costs. In the event of breakdown, mechanical failure, or minor damage where no third party is involved, the RENTER (CLIENT) must immediately contact the WUSMAR LDA (ONCARUS). Under no circumstances shall the RENTER (CLIENT) attempt to repair, modify, or replace any part of the vehicle without prior written authorization from the WUSMAR LDA (ONCARUS). In the event of theft, robbery, or attempted theft, the RENTER (CLIENT) must immediately file a complaint with the competent authorities, preserve all evidence and indications, and cooperate fully with investigative procedures, as required under the insurance policy. 
5.3 Accident Consequences and Liability 
If an accident is caused by the RENTER (CLIENT) or any authorized driver, the WUSMAR LDA (ONCARUS) shall be under no obligation to provide a replacement vehicle, refund, or alternative transport.

5.4 Wildlife, Night Driving, and Environmental Risks (Boa Vista Specific Conditions) 
The RENTER (CLIENT) acknowledges that wildlife is highly present in Boa Vista, particularly during nighttime driving.

Optional protection services may be purchased by the Renter at the time of booking or prior to vehicle collection:

If the fine amount is later confirmed by the authorities, the total cost including the administrative fee shall be deducted directly from the security deposit. In cases where the deposit is insufficient, the WUSMAR LDA (ONCARUS) reserves the right to issue an invoice to the RENTER (CLIENT) for any outstanding amounts, which must be paid in full upon request.
