If the Authorized Driver fails to notify Poppy, such failure to terminate and all costs related thereto shall be considered to be the Authorized Drive’s own responsibility and the Actual Driving Time period will continue, without prejudice to the Authorized Driver’s right to prove the actual time of return of the Vehicle.
5.

If the Authorized Driver would like to use this feature, the Authorized Driver should park the Vehicle as it would when concluding its Rental Period and, after locking the Vehicle, select the “Stop Over” feature instead of “termination”. The Vehicle will be reserved for the Authorized Driver and will be immediately available when needed. In addition to that, the Authorized Driver is allowed to park on any private parking zones during the "Stop Over” as long as he is legally allowed to park the car. For the avoidance of doubt, the Authorized Driver remains responsible for the Vehicle while being parked on “Stop Over” mode and shall be responsible for any charges related to parking on such private parking zones.

In case of ending the Rental Period with a remaining driving range being less than ten (10) kilometres, the Authorized Driver will pay any costs (including any repair costs) incurred while Poppy is trying to tow, re-fuel or re-charge the Vehicle. For the avoidance of doubt, if a Vehicle needs to be towed due to empty fuel tank or empty battery, the Authorized Driver who has ended the Rental Period with less than ten (10) kilometres remaining driving range will be charged an administrative cost as referred to Article 8 and any other costs incurred.
3. The fuel card present in the Vehicle is only for re-fuelling/re-charging the Vehicle. It is strictly forbidden to use the fuel card for fuelling/charging any other vehicle.
