1. DEFINITIONS
In these Terms and Conditions, the following capitalized terms are used:

Renttoo: Renttoo, established in Amsterdam, Netherlands, registered with the Chamber of Commerce under number 42011790.
User: Any natural or legal person who uses the Platform, including Owners and Clients.
Owner: A User who offers products for rent to Clients through the Platform. An Owner can be either an individual or a business.
Client: A User who rents products from Owners through the Platform.
Product: Any object, device, tool or other rental good offered by an Owner through the Platform and made available for rent. Excluded are: real estate and land.
Booking: A confirmed reservation and transaction for rental of a Product by a Client for a specific Rental Period, established through the Platform.
Rental Period: The agreed period for which a Product is rented, as recorded in the Booking. This can be either a daily booking (minimum 1 day) or a time-based booking (hours, half days, etc.).
Rental Price: The amount the Client pays for the use of a Product during the Rental Period, excluding Renttoo Service Fees.
Service Fees: The commission charged by Renttoo to the Owner for using the Platform and facilitating the transaction. The commission is 15% of the Rental Price (including VAT) and covers, among other things, payment costs and verification costs.
RisicoGarantie: The damage handling system developed by Renttoo that combines verified users, professional damage assessment and payment requests to protect Owners in case of Damage, Loss or Theft. Renttoo guarantees a direct payout to the Owner of up to €500 per incident (maximum: Market Value) within 2 business days after the expiry of the 5 business day objection period (or after rejection of objection), regardless of whether the Client fulfills the payment obligation. For proven Damage, Loss or Theft above €500 per incident, Renttoo pays out €500 within 2 business days after the expiry of the objection period (or after rejection of objection) to the Owner in accordance with this guarantee, and the remaining amount is paid out within 2-3 business days after receipt of payment by the Client. The Client remains fully liable up to the maximum Market Value. Renttoo does not provide a guarantee for direct payout for amounts above €500 per incident.
Damage: Demonstrable damage to a Product that occurred during the Rental Period and can be attributed to the Client.
Loss: The complete loss of a Product during the Rental Period.
Theft: The theft of a Product during the Rental Period.
Market Value: The current market value of the Product at the time of Damage, Loss or Theft, taking into account the age, wear, condition and state of the Product. The market value is determined based on the current market value of a similar product of the same type, quality, maintenance condition and age, as at the time of rental.
Account: The personal user profile that a User creates to gain access to the Platform and use the services.
Verification: The process by which a User's identity is checked via Stripe Identity (for Clients) or Stripe Connect (for Owners), including ID check and linking of payment method or bank account, in accordance with legal KYC/KYB obligations under the Wwft.
2. APPLICABILITY

2.3 Changes
Renttoo reserves the right to amend these Terms and Conditions. In the event of material changes, Users will be notified at least 14 days in advance via email and/or a notification on the Platform. If a User does not agree to the amended terms, they may terminate their Account within the notification period. Continued use of the Platform after the effective date of the amended terms constitutes acceptance.
2.4 Conflict
If the terms of Owners or Clients conflict with these Terms and Conditions, these Terms and Conditions shall prevail, unless Renttoo has expressly agreed in writing to deviating terms.
3. ACCOUNT AND REGISTRATION
3.1 Creating an Account
An Account is required to use the services of the Platform. Upon registration, the User must:
- Be at least 18 years of age
- Provide correct, complete and current information
- Provide a valid email address and phone number
- Act in accordance with Dutch laws and regulations
Minors: Persons under the age of 18 are not permitted to create an Account. By creating an Account, the User declares to be of legal age (18+). If it turns out that a User is a minor:

3.2 Verification
Legal Obligation KYC and KYB: Renttoo is legally obligated to perform verification (KYC - Know Your Customer and KYB - Know Your Business) in accordance with the Wwft (Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorist Financing Act). This law requires Renttoo to:
- Establish and verify the identity of all Users
- Perform client due diligence based on risk profiles
- Monitor and report unusual transactions
- KYC/KYB verification data is retained for 5 years after deletion of the Account with Renttoo or after execution of the transaction (Wwft Article 33(3)). This data is collected and stored by Stripe via Stripe Identity in accordance with their own policy and Wwft obligations. Renttoo has access to this data via the Stripe dashboard insofar as necessary to comply with legal obligations, but the data is not directly stored by Renttoo.
Renttoo performs this verification via Stripe Identity (for Clients) and Stripe Connect (for Owners) to comply with these legal obligations.
For Clients: To place a Booking, the Client must:

For Owners: To offer Products, the Owner must:
- Create a business account via Stripe Connect
- Complete identification and verification through the Stripe Connect onboarding process
- Link a bank account for receiving payouts (handled within Stripe Connect)
- Comply with all legal obligations as an Owner
Stripe Connect verification includes identification and bank account linking, and enables Renttoo to make payouts to the Owner via Stripe's split payment system.

The User is responsible for:
- Keeping login credentials confidential
- All activities that take place via the Account
- Immediate notification to Renttoo of unauthorized use
3.4 Account Suspension
Renttoo reserves the right to suspend or delete an Account without prior warning if:

9. RENTTOO RISICOGARANTIE
9.1 Purpose and Operation
RisicoGarantie is the system developed by Renttoo to protect Owners against Damage, Loss or Theft of Products. The system combines:
- Verification of Users (identity + payment method or bank account)
- Professional damage assessment by Renttoo
- Payment request to the Client in case of proven Damage, Loss or Theft (up to maximum Market Value)
- Guarantee of direct payout to the Owner up to €500 per incident (maximum: Market Value) within 2 business days after the expiry of the 5 business day objection period (or after rejection of objection), in case of proven Damage, Loss or Theft, regardless of whether the Client fulfills the payment obligation within the stated period and regardless of the outcome of any collection proceedings
RisicoGarantie is not insurance but a damage handling method. No external insurer is involved.
Priority of own insurance: If the Owner has their own insurance that covers Damage, Loss or Theft of the Product, the Owner must first make a claim with their own insurer. RisicoGarantie is secondary and only applies if:
- The Owner's own insurance does not cover the Damage, Loss or Theft
- The Owner's own insurance provides insufficient compensation (after deduction of excess/deductible)
- The Owner does not have their own insurance
9.2 Agreement at Verification
By accepting these Terms and Conditions, the Client expressly agrees to the following:
The Client consents to payment of proven Damage, Loss or Theft:
- For proven Damage, Loss or Theft as professionally determined by Renttoo
- Up to the maximum Market Value of the Product — the Client's liability is limited to the Market Value of the Product
- The Client receives a payment request with bank account number and reference (claim number)
- The Client transfers the amount via bank transfer stating the reference/claim number
- Payment must be made within 7 days of notification
The Client declares:
- To agree to payment in case of proven Damage, Loss or Theft
- That refusal of payment may lead to Account suspension and collection (see Article 9.7)
- To be aware that they will receive a prior notification with evidence and 48 hours response time
9.3 Reporting Damage
Owner: The Owner must report Damage, Loss or Theft within 7 days after the end of the Rental Period via the Platform.
Important: If the Owner has their own insurance, the Owner must first make a claim with their own insurer. RisicoGarantie can only be used if the own insurance does not cover, provides insufficient compensation, or if the Owner has no own insurance.
The report must include:
- Detailed description of the Damage
- Before and after photos of the Product (photos taken at handover and at return) — these are required for damage handling via RisicoGarantie
- Estimate of repair costs or market value
- Any relevant documentation (original purchase invoice, repair quote)
The Owner completes a form on the Platform where photos can be uploaded, the damage can be described, and the costs can be specified.
Client: The Client must report serious Damage or Loss immediately to the Owner and Renttoo.
9.4 Assessment Process
After receipt of a damage report by the Owner:
Step 1: Assessment by Renttoo Renttoo assesses each claim objectively within 5 business days of receiving the report. We review photos, check timing and request additional evidence if necessary.
The assessment is based on:
- Quality and persuasiveness of photos
- Timing (was the Damage already there before the rental?)
- Statements from the Owner
- Realism of estimated costs
- History of both Users
- Any additionally requested evidence
Step 2: Decision by Renttoo Renttoo decides within 5 business days:
- Approved: Damage, Loss or Theft is proven and will be compensated
- Rejected: Insufficient evidence or Damage, Loss or Theft cannot be attributed to the Client
- Partial approval: Lower compensation based on evidence
- Upon (partial) approval, the Client automatically receives a notification with claim details and has 5 business days to object or 7 days to pay
Step 3: Objection by Client After receiving the notification (Step 2):
- The Client may object within 5 business days after the assessment
- The objection must be submitted in writing and substantiated via the Platform (minimum 50 characters)
- The Client may upload attached files to support the objection
- Renttoo assesses the objection within 48 hours of receipt and may either reject the claim (if the objection is approved) or dismiss the objection (claim remains approved)
- After objection, the decision is final (subject to judicial intervention)
Step 4: Execution Upon an approved claim (without objection or after dismissed objection):
- The Client receives a payment request with bank account number, reference (claim number) and the total amount consisting of the damage amount and administrative costs (5% with a minimum of €5)
- The Client pays the amount via bank transfer stating the reference/claim number
- Payment term: 7 days after notification (or after rejection of objection)
- The Owner receives the full claim amount — the administrative costs are paid by the Client and are not deducted from the payout to the Owner
- For claims up to €500: Renttoo pays out in accordance with RisicoGarantie within 2 business days after the expiry of the 5 business day objection period (or after rejection of objection) to the Owner, regardless of whether the Client fulfills the payment obligation
- For claims above €500: Renttoo pays out €500 in accordance with RisicoGarantie within 2 business days after the expiry of the objection period (or after rejection of objection) to the Owner. The remaining amount is paid out to the Owner within 2-3 business days after receipt of payment by the Client
- Both parties receive written confirmation of the payout
9.5 Guarantee and Liability

- Renttoo guarantees a direct payout to the Owner up to €500 per incident (maximum: Market Value) within 2 business days after the expiry of the 5 business day objection period (or after rejection of objection), in case of proven Damage, Loss or Theft, regardless of whether the Client fulfills the payment obligation within the stated period
- This guarantee applies regardless of the outcome of any collection proceedings against the Client
- The guarantee extends to the proven damage amount, with a maximum of €500 per incident and never exceeding the Market Value of the Product
Client Liability:
- The Client is liable for proven Damage, Loss or Theft up to the maximum Market Value of the Product
- For proven Damage, Loss or Theft up to €500 per incident, Renttoo guarantees direct payout to the Owner (maximum: Market Value) within 2 business days after the expiry of the 5 business day objection period (or after rejection of objection), regardless of whether the Client fulfills the payment obligation

Renttoo pays out €500 in accordance with RisicoGarantie within 2 business days after the expiry of the objection period (or after rejection of objection) to the Owner. The remaining amount is paid out to the Owner within 2-3 business days after receipt of payment by the Client. Renttoo does not provide a guarantee for direct payout for amounts above €500 per incident
9.6 Administrative Costs
Upon approval of a Damage, Loss or Theft claim, Renttoo charges administrative costs to the Client:
- 5% of the damage amount with a minimum of €5
These costs are automatically included in the payment request to the Client and are paid by the Client. As an Owner, you receive the full claim amount.
These costs cover the time and effort for assessment, communication and execution.

Immediate measures:

Renttoo may share all relevant information with police, justice, collection agencies and other involved parties without prior consent of the User.
