  12. The tenant indemnifies ChargeMakers against all damage and costs, including lost turnover and profit, as a result of non-delivery, late or incomplete delivery.

  13. ChargeMakers believes in sustainable electric driving without the use of fossil fuels.

  2. If and insofar as a complaint by the Renter is justified in accordance with this article, the Renter is entitled to (at the discretion of ChargeMakers) either: (i) free repair of the Defect (ii) free replacement of the relevant part of the Rented.
