Terms & Conditions

Vehicle Rental Agreement between Corsa Nero LLC and Renter

Effective as of the rental date shown on the Rental Agreement Summary

Important — Read Before Renting

By accepting this Agreement, Renter authorizes Corsa Nero to verify and obtain, through consumer reporting agencies and other lawful sources, Renter's identity, driving, credit, and insurance information for purposes related to this Agreement, including driver's license verification, insurance verification, and background checks.

This Agreement, together with the Rental Agreement Summary, is the entire agreement between Renter and Corsa Nero and may be modified only by a writing signed by both Parties.

These Terms and Conditions govern the rental of the Vehicle and, together with the Rental Agreement Summary, form one agreement (this "Agreement") between Corsa Nero LLC, a Michigan limited liability company ("Corsa Nero"), and the person or entity identified as "Renter" on the Rental Agreement Summary ("Renter"). Corsa Nero and Renter are each a "Party" and together the "Parties." The "Effective Date" is the rental date shown on the Rental Agreement Summary.

Corsa Nero rents the Vehicle in its capacity as owner or as the authorized manager and agent of the titled owner, and has full authority to rent the Vehicle and to exercise every right and remedy under this Agreement. Corsa Nero delivers the Vehicle at, and receives it back at, an agreed meeting location or delivery address and does not operate a walk-in storefront.

Rental Requirements

To rent from Corsa Nero, you must meet all of the following:

  • Age & License: Minimum 18 years old with a valid, current driver's license.
  • Insurance: Full coverage (comprehensive and collision) applicable to rental use and sufficient for the value of the Vehicle, in force for the entire Rental Period. The policy must not be newly issued.
  • Driving Record: Clean driving record — no DUIs, reckless driving, or major violations.
  • Security Deposit: Refundable deposit ranging from $550 to $1,000+ depending on the Vehicle.

1. Definitions

1.1 "Additional Authorized Driver" or "AAD" means a person, in addition to Renter, whom Corsa Nero has approved in writing to operate the Vehicle and who meets the minimum age and valid-license requirements. With Renter's permission, an AAD includes Renter's spouse or domestic partner who meets those requirements.

1.2 "Rental Agreement Summary" means the document identifying the Renter, the Vehicle, the rates, the rental period, and other transaction-specific terms, which is incorporated into and part of this Agreement.

1.3 "Rental Period" means the period from the time Renter takes possession of the Vehicle until the Vehicle is returned or lawfully recovered and, in either case, checked in by Corsa Nero.

1.4 "Vehicle" means the vehicle identified on the Rental Agreement Summary, any replacement vehicle, and all keys, equipment, and optional accessories provided with it.

1.5 "Authorized Area" means Wayne County, Michigan, together with any additional county that Corsa Nero approves in writing on the Rental Agreement Summary. Operation outside the Authorized Area, and any out-of-state operation, requires Corsa Nero's prior written authorization.

1.6 "Restricted Area" means any specific area that Corsa Nero identifies to Renter in writing (including on the Rental Agreement Summary or by written or text notice) at or before the start of the Rental Period, or by written notice during the Rental Period effective when received. A Restricted Area must be identified with reasonable specificity.

2. Vehicle Condition; Renter Warranties; Warranty Exclusions

2.1 Corsa Nero agrees to rent the Vehicle to Renter, and Renter agrees to rent the Vehicle, on the terms of this Agreement.

2.2 Renter has inspected, or had a full opportunity to inspect, the Vehicle and its accessories and agrees they are received in good and operable condition. Renter takes possession "AS IS." To the fullest extent permitted by Michigan law, Corsa Nero excludes all warranties, express or implied, including any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.

2.3 Renter shall return the Vehicle in the same condition as received, ordinary wear and tear excepted, with fuel at the same level and of the same grade as when received.

2.4 Renter represents and warrants that Renter (and each AAD) holds a valid, current driver's license with no outstanding warrants, and has not provided any false or misleading information to Corsa Nero. Providing a fictitious name, false address, or false or invalid license, or misrepresenting any fact material to the rental, is fraud and a material breach.

2.5 Renter represents and warrants that Renter maintains automobile insurance covering Renter's operation of the Vehicle, including comprehensive and collision coverage applicable to rental use, in force throughout the Rental Period.

2.6 Renter and each AAD are the only persons permitted to operate the Vehicle. Renter is not an agent of Corsa Nero and has no authority to bind Corsa Nero.

2.7 No Smoking. Smoking or vaping in the Vehicle is prohibited. Evidence of smoking (including odor, ash, burns, residue, or aerosol) results in a cleaning and ozone-treatment charge of $500, or Corsa Nero's actual cleaning cost if greater. This amount is a reasonable pre-estimate of Corsa Nero's cleaning cost and lost availability, and is not a penalty.

2.9 Cleaning and Soiling. Pet hair, heavy interior soiling, or other cleaning beyond ordinary use that requires detailing incurs a cleaning fee of $250, or Corsa Nero's actual cleaning cost if greater.

2.8 Renter shall not alter, modify, or tamper with the Vehicle or its accessories. If Renter or an AAD believes the Vehicle is unsafe, Renter shall stop operating it and notify Corsa Nero immediately.

3. Limits on Use

3.1 Renter agrees to the limits on use in this Section 3. Violation of any limit is a material breach that entitles Corsa Nero to terminate the Rental Period, exercise the recovery and immobilization rights in Section 7 and Section 13, and pursue the fees and remedies in this Agreement and at law.

3.2 Authorized Drivers Only. The Vehicle shall be operated only by Renter or an AAD. Renter shall not give the keys, access, or control of the Vehicle to any person who is not Renter or an AAD, even temporarily. Renter remains fully liable for the acts of any person to whom Renter gives access as if Renter had committed those acts. If Renter voluntarily gives keys, access, or control to a person who is not an AAD, Renter may not later characterize that person's use as "theft" or "unauthorized use" by Corsa Nero.

Unauthorized use results in a $500 unauthorized-driver fee (a reasonable pre-estimate of Corsa Nero's added risk and administrative cost, or actual cost if greater), termination of the Rental Period, and Renter's liability for all resulting costs.

3.3 Geographic Limits

The Vehicle shall be operated only within the Authorized Area unless Corsa Nero authorizes otherwise in writing. GPS or telematics data confirms the Vehicle's location.

ViolationFee
Operation outside the Authorized Area (within Michigan)$500 per occurrence
Unauthorized out-of-state operation$500 per occurrence + actual recovery costs

Each amount is a reasonable pre-estimate of Corsa Nero's increased risk and monitoring cost, or actual cost if greater.

3.4 Restricted Areas

Renter shall not operate the Vehicle in a Restricted Area that Corsa Nero has identified in writing under Section 1.6. Operation in a properly identified Restricted Area is a material breach permitting termination and recovery of the Vehicle under Section 13; Corsa Nero's resulting fees and costs are collected as provided in Section 5. GPS or telematics data showing the Vehicle in a Restricted Area is presumed accurate and is evidence of a violation; Renter may rebut it with clear and credible contemporaneous evidence.

3.5 Prohibited Uses

The Vehicle shall not be: (a) used to carry persons or property for hire, as a common or contract carrier, as a school bus, or for driver training; (b) used for any unlawful purpose or in a reckless manner; (c) used in any race, speed contest, or timed event; (d) used to tow or push anything; (e) driven off paved roads or off-road; (f) operated by any person impaired by alcohol, narcotics, or drugs, whether or not prescribed; (g) loaded beyond its gross vehicle weight rating or with an unevenly divided load; (h) used to carry passengers exceeding the number of factory seat belts, or passengers outside the passenger compartment; (i) used to store or transport explosives, hazardous materials, corrosives, or pollutants; (j) used to test the Vehicle's technological components or capabilities; or (k) subleased, assigned, or transferred to any person.

Off-road or unpaved-surface use additionally subjects Renter to a $1,000 undercarriage and drivetrain inspection fee (a reasonable pre-estimate of inspection cost, or actual cost if greater) plus the actual cost of any damage found.

3.6 Child Restraints

Renter shall restrain any passenger under the age of seven in a federally approved child-restraint system as required by Michigan law.

3.7 Prohibited Events. The Vehicle shall not be rented for, transported to, used at, or operated in connection with any prom, homecoming, school dance, formal, graduation party, or similar school event, regardless of the age of Renter or any AAD. Misrepresenting the rental purpose to circumvent this restriction is fraud and a material breach.

A violation permits termination, recovery under Section 13, and a $1,000 unauthorized-use fee (a reasonable pre-estimate of Corsa Nero's elevated risk of loss, or actual cost if greater), collected as provided in Section 5. GPS, photographic, or third-party evidence showing the Vehicle at or in transit to a prohibited event is presumed accurate and is evidence of a violation, subject to Renter's right to rebut with clear and credible contemporaneous evidence.

3.8 Speeding. The maximum permitted speed is 95 mph. Corsa Nero applies a three-strike policy for operating the Vehicle at 95 mph or more, as shown by GPS or telematics data (presumed accurate, subject to Renter's right to rebut with clear and credible contemporaneous evidence):

  • First and second occurrences: written warning.
  • Third occurrence: termination of the Rental Period, recovery of the Vehicle under Section 13 at Renter's expense, and ineligibility for future rentals.

Regardless of the number of prior warnings, operating the Vehicle at 110 mph or more results in immediate termination; a $1,000 excessive-speed fee (a reasonable pre-estimate of increased risk, accelerated wear, and administrative cost, or actual cost if greater); recovery under Section 13 at Renter's expense; and no refund of prepaid amounts. The fee and Corsa Nero's costs are collected as provided in Section 5.

3.9 No Tire Abuse. Renter shall not perform burnouts, donuts, drifts, brake-stands, launch-control abuse, "smoke shows," or any deliberate act to spin, skid, or chirp the tires beyond normal operation, at any location, unless Corsa Nero has authorized track or closed-course use in writing.

A documented violation permits: a $1,000 tire-abuse fee per occurrence (a reasonable pre-estimate of accelerated tire, drivetrain, and clutch wear, or actual cost if greater); Corsa Nero's actual costs of tire, drivetrain, clutch, transmission, and differential inspection and repair discovered before, during, or within ninety (90) days after return; termination; recovery under Section 13; and ineligibility for future rentals. GPS/telematics data (such as wheel-speed disproportionate to vehicle speed), witness reports, or forensic tire evidence is presumed accurate and is evidence of a violation, subject to rebuttal.

3.10 Odometer and Mileage

Odometer tampering is prohibited. If tampering is detected or mileage cannot be verified from the Vehicle, mileage shall be reasonably estimated by Corsa Nero from available GPS/telematics data. Renter may rebut the estimate with clear and credible contemporaneous third-party documentation of actual mileage.

4. Charges, Fees, and Liquidated Damages

4.1 Liquidated Damages, Not Penalties. The Parties agree that Corsa Nero's actual damages from the breaches addressed by the fixed fees in this Agreement are difficult to ascertain in advance, and that each fixed fee is a reasonable pre-estimate of those damages and is intended as liquidated damages, not a penalty. Where Corsa Nero's documented actual cost for a given matter exceeds the fixed fee, Corsa Nero may charge the actual cost in place of the fixed fee.

4.2 Rental Charges. Renter shall pay the hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly charges, mileage charges, accessory charges, and other amounts shown on the Rental Agreement Summary. All rentals are for a minimum of one day unless the Summary states otherwise. If the Vehicle is returned outside the agreed return time, or to a place other than the agreed return location, rental charges continue until a Corsa Nero representative checks in the Vehicle.

4.3 Handoff and Return Location. Corsa Nero delivers the Vehicle to, and receives it back at, the location and time agreed on the Rental Agreement Summary, which may be a meeting location or a delivery address; Corsa Nero does not operate a walk-in storefront. If Renter returns or leaves the Vehicle at a location or time other than as agreed, Renter shall pay a relocation fee equal to the greater of $300, $4 per mile between the location where the Vehicle was left and the agreed return location, or Corsa Nero's applicable daily rate on the date of return.

ChargeAmount
Relocation (wrong return location/time)Greater of $300, $4/mile, or daily rate
Toll / ticket / violation handlingAmount paid + $50 per incident
Unpaid-toll convenience fee$5/day (max $25 per rental) + actual tolls
Late payment (one-time)$50 — no interest accrues
Declined transaction$50 per declined transaction

4.4 Fines, Tolls, and Violations. Renter is responsible for all tolls, parking and traffic fines, citations, towing, and storage arising during the Rental Period. Renter authorizes Corsa Nero to pay such amounts and to charge Renter the amount paid plus an administrative processing fee of $50 per incident.

4.5 Late Payment. A one-time administrative late fee of $50 applies to any amount not paid within thirty (30) days after the end of the Rental Period. No interest accrues on any amount owed under this Agreement.

4.6 Taxes. Renter shall pay all taxes, fees, and mandatory government charges in connection with the rental.

4.7 Collection Costs. Renter shall pay Corsa Nero's reasonable costs of collecting amounts due, recovering the Vehicle, or enforcing this Agreement, including reasonable attorney fees and the documented cost of defending a chargeback later determined to be invalid.

5. Security Deposit

5.1 Renter shall provide a security deposit in the amount shown on the Rental Agreement Summary (the "Deposit") to secure Renter's obligations, including charges for damage, tolls, fines, fuel, and other amounts arising from the rental.

5.2 Application of Deposit; Shortfall. Corsa Nero applies the amounts Renter owes under this Agreement — including fees, charges for damage, tolls, fines, fuel, and recovery costs — first against the Deposit. The Deposit is the first source of payment for what Renter owes and is not charged as a penalty in addition to those amounts. If the Deposit is not enough to cover what Renter owes, Renter shall pay the balance out of pocket. If the Deposit is reduced during the Rental Period, Renter shall restore it to the original amount within twenty-four (24) hours after Corsa Nero's notice; failure to do so is a material breach that may result in termination and recovery of the Vehicle.

5.3 Corsa Nero will return the Deposit, less any amounts properly applied, after final inspection of the Vehicle, ordinarily within 24 to 72 hours after return. For a cash, check, or money-order Deposit, any refund due will be issued within fifteen (15) business days after the end of the Rental Period. All charges are subject to final audit.

6. Fuel

6.1 Return Full. The Vehicle requires premium fuel (93 octane) unless the Rental Agreement Summary states otherwise. Renter shall return the Vehicle with the fuel at the same level and of the same grade as when received. If Renter returns the Vehicle with less fuel, Renter shall pay a refueling charge equal to Corsa Nero's actual cost to replace the missing fuel plus a flat refueling service fee of $20. This is the sole fuel charge; Corsa Nero does not impose a separate prepaid or per-mile fuel charge. Renter receives no credit for returning the Vehicle with more fuel than received.

7. Telematics, GPS, and Remote Immobilization

7.1 The Vehicle is equipped with GPS, telematics, an event data recorder, and a remote immobilization device (kill switch). These systems protect the Vehicle and aid safety, monitoring, and recovery. Renter authorizes Corsa Nero's collection and use of location and operational data, retrieval of diagnostic and event-recorder data, and use of these systems as described in this Agreement.

7.2 Safe Immobilization Only. Corsa Nero may remotely immobilize the Vehicle only when the Vehicle is safely stopped and parked. Corsa Nero shall not intentionally immobilize the Vehicle while it is in motion. The immobilization function operates to prevent the Vehicle from being restarted or moved further; it is not used to disable a moving Vehicle. This limitation exists for the safety of Renter, passengers, and the public.

7.3 Anti-Tamper. Renter shall not locate, remove, unplug, block, disable, or tamper with any tracking or telematics device in the Vehicle, regardless of who installed it. Tampering is a material breach and results in: a $250-per-device fee (a reasonable pre-estimate of replacement, diagnostic, reinstallation, and administrative cost, or actual cost if greater); loss-of-use charges under Section 9 during any resulting downtime; termination; recovery under Section 13; and Renter's liability for all resulting costs. Evidence of tampering (an unplugged or removed device, cut wires, a disabled system, or an unexplained gap in tracking data during Renter's possession) is presumed accurate and is evidence of a violation, subject to Renter's right to rebut with clear and credible contemporaneous evidence.

7.4 Telematics systems use wireless technology, and privacy cannot be guaranteed. Use of any manufacturer telematics service (such as OnStar) is subject to that provider's terms and privacy policy. Some functions may be inactive or deactivated without notice. Except to the extent caused by Corsa Nero's gross negligence or willful misconduct, Renter releases Corsa Nero, telematics providers, and wireless carriers from claims arising from the normal operation or failure of these systems.

8. Damage, Loss, or Theft of the Vehicle

8.1 To the fullest extent permitted by Michigan law, Renter is responsible for damage to, and loss or theft of, the Vehicle and its accessories occurring during the Rental Period, regardless of fault, except to the extent caused by Corsa Nero's gross negligence or willful misconduct. Renter shall pay the cost to repair the Vehicle and shall not arrange repairs without Corsa Nero's consent.

8.2 If the Vehicle is stolen and not recovered, or is determined to be a total loss, Renter shall pay Corsa Nero the Vehicle's actual cash value immediately before the loss, less any salvage proceeds actually received by Corsa Nero. If accessories are not returned, Renter shall pay their replacement cost.

8.3 Additional Recoverable Costs. Renter is also responsible for towing, storage, and impound charges; a claim-administration fee ($50 if the repair estimate is under $500, $100 if $500–$1,499, and $150 if $1,500 or more); loss of use under Section 9; diminished value under Section 9; and other documented costs Corsa Nero incurs to recover the Vehicle and establish the loss.

8.4 If the Vehicle is returned outside the agreed return time, or to a place other than the agreed return location, Renter is responsible for any damage, loss, or theft occurring before a Corsa Nero representative checks in and inspects the Vehicle.

8.5 Post-Return Discovery (90 Days). Corsa Nero may charge Renter for damage or violations reasonably discovered within ninety (90) days after return, including hidden or internal damage (undercarriage, suspension, alignment, clutch, transmission, engine, or differential), device tampering found during service, and citations, tolls, or violations received after return. Corsa Nero will provide Renter with documentation of any such charge.

8.6 Minor Damage. Renter acknowledges that minor damage such as rim scratches and paint chips may occur. The documented cost of repairing minor damage may be deducted from the Deposit.

8.7 Clutch and Transmission. Renter acknowledges receiving the Vehicle with the clutch and transmission in good working order and shall pay Corsa Nero's documented cost of any clutch or transmission damage occurring during the Rental Period. Because such damage may not be apparent at return due to heat, Corsa Nero may notify Renter of it after return under Section 8.5. Such damage is presumed to have occurred during Renter's use unless Renter provides clear evidence that it existed before the rental or resulted solely from a manufacturing defect.

8.8 Lost or Damaged Key or Fob. Renter shall pay the actual cost to replace and reprogram a lost or damaged key or key fob, which typically ranges from $500 to $1,500 depending on the Vehicle.

9. Loss of Use and Diminished Value

9.1 Loss of Use. If the Vehicle is out of service because of damage or loss for which Renter is responsible, Renter shall pay loss-of-use damages equal to the daily rate on the Rental Agreement Summary multiplied by the number of days the Vehicle is reasonably out of service, as documented by the repair facility (or, for a total loss, until Corsa Nero receives the settlement). Loss of use is owed regardless of Corsa Nero's fleet utilization, consistent with Michigan law.

9.2 Diminished Value. If the Vehicle suffers a measurable loss in market value because of damage for which Renter is responsible, Renter shall pay that diminished value as established by an independent appraisal or another reasonable, generally accepted method.

10. Accidents and Claims Procedure

10.1 Renter shall report any accident, damage, loss, or theft to Corsa Nero immediately, and in no event later than three (3) hours after the event or the following business day. Renter shall not admit liability, release any party, or settle any claim, and shall obtain the names and addresses of those involved and any witnesses.

10.2 Renter shall report any accident, theft, or damage to the police within twenty-four (24) hours and shall provide Corsa Nero the case or report number and a copy of Renter's license. Renter shall deliver to Corsa Nero every document relating to any claim or proceeding and cooperate fully with Corsa Nero and its insurer.

10.3 Renter shall safeguard the Vehicle, retain the keys, and not abandon the Vehicle. Failure to take reasonable steps to protect the Vehicle that results in further loss is Renter's responsibility. Renter consents to Corsa Nero's retrieval and use of event-data-recorder information to the extent permitted by law.

11. Insurance and Financial Responsibility (Michigan)

11.1 Renter's insurance is the primary coverage for the operation and use of the Vehicle during the Rental Period. Renter shall maintain automobile liability insurance meeting Michigan's financial-responsibility requirements, together with comprehensive and collision coverage applicable to rental use, and Corsa Nero verifies such coverage before releasing the Vehicle.

11.2 Except to the minimum extent required by Michigan law, Corsa Nero does not provide, and this Agreement does not extend to Renter, any AAD, passenger, or third party, any liability coverage, personal injury protection or no-fault benefits, or uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage. Any personal injury protection or no-fault benefits are provided under the applicable policy of the injured person under the Michigan no-fault act, MCL 500.3101 et seq., and not through this Agreement.

11.3 If Corsa Nero is required by Michigan law to extend financial responsibility to Renter or a third party, that obligation is limited to the minimum amounts required by Michigan law. As a motor-vehicle rental company, Corsa Nero is not vicariously liable for the negligence of Renter or any AAD under the Graves Amendment, 49 U.S.C. § 30106, and Corsa Nero's liability as a lessor is subject to the limits of Michigan law, including MCL 257.401.

12. Indemnification by Renter

To the fullest extent permitted by Michigan law, Renter shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Corsa Nero and its members, managers, officers, employees, and agents from and against all third-party claims, losses, liabilities, damages, fines, penalties, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorney fees) arising out of or relating to the rental or use of the Vehicle by any person, except to the extent caused by Corsa Nero's gross negligence or willful misconduct. Renter may submit a claim to Renter's insurer, but remains responsible to Corsa Nero for any amount not paid by insurance.

13. Termination and Recovery of the Vehicle

13.1 Upon any material breach of this Agreement, Renter's right to use the Vehicle terminates, and Corsa Nero may retake possession of the Vehicle by any means permitted by law, without breaching the peace. Corsa Nero retains all other rights and remedies available at law and equity.

13.2 Lawful Reporting. If Renter fails to return the Vehicle after the Rental Period and after Corsa Nero's written demand, or continues to operate the Vehicle after the right to use has terminated, Corsa Nero may report the Vehicle to law enforcement as unlawfully retained, provided any such report is truthful and accurate. Renter releases and shall indemnify Corsa Nero from liability arising out of a truthful and accurate report; this release does not extend to a knowingly false report by Corsa Nero.

13.3 Renter shall pay a vehicle-recovery fee of $750 (a reasonable pre-estimate of Corsa Nero's recovery cost, or actual cost if greater), plus Corsa Nero's actual and documented costs of recovering the Vehicle and returning it to a location Corsa Nero designates. Renter waives claims for loss of, or damage to, personal property left in the Vehicle in connection with a lawful recovery, except to the extent caused by Corsa Nero's gross negligence or willful misconduct.

14. False Claims and Fraud

14.1 Making a false or fraudulent statement to Corsa Nero, law enforcement, an insurer, a card issuer, or a court regarding theft, unauthorized use, damage, or any aspect of the rental is fraud and a material breach.

14.2 If Renter makes a false theft report, chargeback claim, or insurance claim, Renter shall pay Corsa Nero's actual legal fees and court costs, actual investigative costs, documented staff time responding to the false claim, amounts Corsa Nero must pay to defend it, and any damages a court awards.

14.3 Corsa Nero monitors and records rental activity, including GPS location, speed, and operational data, and communications as described in Section 25. A theft claim made more than four (4) hours after an alleged theft, or that is inconsistent with GPS data, payment activity, or Renter's contemporaneous contact with Corsa Nero, will be scrutinized accordingly.

15. Harassment, Threats, and Abusive Conduct

15.1 Renter shall not threaten, harass, intimidate, extort, or abuse Corsa Nero or its personnel. Prohibited conduct includes threats of harm or property damage; extortion; demands for Corsa Nero's property or for money beyond amounts owed; discriminatory slurs; repeated hostile or profane communications; and threats to harm Corsa Nero's reputation through statements known to be false.

15.2 Such conduct permits immediate termination, recovery of the Vehicle under Section 13, and referral to law enforcement. Renter remains liable for all amounts owed, which are collected as provided in Section 5, and Corsa Nero may retain prepaid amounts for the terminated rental to the extent of its actual loss. This Section does not limit Renter's right to make truthful statements or to pursue lawful remedies.

16. Assignment of Insurance Proceeds; Limited Power of Attorney

16.1 To the extent permitted by law, and only for loss or damage to the Vehicle for which Renter is responsible and that Renter has not paid, Renter assigns to Corsa Nero the insurance proceeds payable for that loss and directs Renter's insurer to pay those proceeds to Corsa Nero. Only amounts actually paid to Corsa Nero reduce what Renter owes. Renter remains responsible for deductibles, depreciation, loss of use, diminished value, and any amount not paid by insurance.

16.2 Renter grants Corsa Nero a limited power of attorney, effective only if Renter fails to pay amounts due for a Vehicle loss, to present the related insurance or card claim and to endorse Renter's name solely on payments issued for that loss. This power is limited to the purposes stated and does not authorize any other act.

17. Personal Property

Corsa Nero is not responsible for loss of, damage to, or theft of Renter's personal property or data in or left in the Vehicle, whether during or after the Rental Period, and no bailment is created. Renter shall remove all personal property and data before returning the Vehicle and releases Corsa Nero from claims arising out of any property or data left by Renter or a prior renter.

18. Limitation of Remedy; No Consequential Damages

18.1 If Corsa Nero breaches this Agreement or the Vehicle has a mechanical failure not caused by Renter, and Corsa Nero is liable under applicable law, Renter's sole remedy is a substitute vehicle or a refund of the pro-rata daily rate for the period Renter lacked use of the Vehicle.

18.2 To the fullest extent permitted by Michigan law, Renter waives all claims for consequential, incidental, and punitive damages against Corsa Nero. Nothing in this Agreement limits any liability that may not lawfully be limited.

19. Release of Information

Renter authorizes Corsa Nero to provide information about Renter and any AAD (including name, address, phone numbers, license, and card information) to governmental authorities and to service providers acting on Corsa Nero's behalf, as reasonably necessary in connection with this Agreement and its enforcement, consistent with applicable law.

20. Credit and Debit Card Authorization

20.1 If Renter presents a credit or debit card, Renter authorizes Corsa Nero to charge that card for all amounts Renter owes under this Agreement, including rental charges and deposits, documented damage discovered during the rental or within ninety (90) days after return, fuel, tolls, fines, violation and tampering fees, recovery and towing costs, late and collection costs, and any other amount authorized by this Agreement. This authorization continues, to the extent permitted by applicable law and card-network rules, for ninety (90) days after the rental ends or until all obligations are satisfied, whichever is later.

20.2 Renter shall contact Corsa Nero to resolve any billing dispute before initiating a chargeback. Renter remains liable for all valid charges. If a charge is declined, Renter authorizes Corsa Nero to re-present it and to charge a $50 processing fee per declined transaction. Corsa Nero will provide documentation supporting its charges on request.

21. Electronic Signatures and Notices

An electronic signature or other electronic process attached to or associated with this Agreement with intent to sign has the same legal effect as a wet-ink signature, to the fullest extent permitted by Michigan law, including the Michigan Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, MCL 450.831 et seq. The Parties consent to receiving notices electronically at the email addresses on the Rental Agreement Summary or as later designated in writing.

22. Governing Law

This Agreement is governed by and construed under the laws of the State of Michigan, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles.

23. Dispute Resolution

23.1 Any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement (a "Dispute") shall be resolved by (a) good-faith negotiation; then, if unresolved within thirty (30) days, (b) mediation administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in Wayne County, Michigan; then, if unresolved within sixty (60) days after the first mediation session, (c) binding arbitration administered by the AAA before a single arbitrator, seated in Wayne County, Michigan, in English. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction in Wayne County, Michigan.

23.2 Corsa Nero Carve-Out. Notwithstanding Section 23.1, Corsa Nero may, at its option, bring an action for (a) collection of amounts due, (b) possession or recovery of the Vehicle (including claim-and-delivery or replevin), (c) theft, loss, or conversion of the Vehicle or its value, including a statutory conversion claim under MCL 600.2919a, or (d) injunctive or other provisional relief, in a court of competent jurisdiction in Wayne County, Michigan, including the small claims division of the 19th District Court where the amount is within that court's limit, without first proceeding through negotiation, mediation, or arbitration. Such claims are excluded from the arbitration requirement.

23.3 The Parties shall continue to perform undisputed obligations during a Dispute, and Corsa Nero may continue to recover the Vehicle and exercise its rights. Each Party waives any objection to venue in Wayne County, Michigan, and to the convenience of that forum.

24. Severability

If any provision of this Agreement is held unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force. Any fee or damages provision that a court finds excessive shall be enforced to the maximum lawful amount that constitutes reasonable liquidated damages, reflecting the Parties' intent that such amounts approximate actual loss and not operate as penalties.

25. Recording of Communications

By entering into this Agreement, Renter consents to Corsa Nero's recording of telephone, in-person, and electronic communications between Renter and Corsa Nero, for quality assurance, dispute resolution, and legal purposes, to the extent permitted by Michigan law. Renter shall inform any AAD or other participant of this consent.

26. Miscellaneous

26.1 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Rental Agreement Summary are the entire agreement between the Parties and supersede all prior understandings. Section headings are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation.

26.2 No Assignment by Renter. Renter shall not assign this Agreement or sublease the Vehicle. This Agreement binds and benefits the Parties and their permitted successors and assigns.

26.3 No Waiver. Corsa Nero's failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of that or any other provision.

26.4 Third-Party Proceeds. Amounts a third party actually pays Corsa Nero for the rental reduce Renter's obligations only to the extent paid. Renter remains responsible for charges not paid by a third party.

By taking possession of the Vehicle, Renter acknowledges that Renter has read, understood, and agreed to every term of this Agreement — including the limits on use in Section 3, the responsibility for damage, loss, and theft in Section 8, the insurance and financial-responsibility terms in Section 11, and the telematics and remote-immobilization terms in Section 7.
