7.5.4. Removal of such Member Content or data does not relieve you of your obligation to pay any outstanding or default amounts. The Company will not be obligated to restore any Member Content or other data removed from the Services for Members or other users who are in default.
7.6. You agree and understand that the Company charges a Service Fee which is due, owing, and payable by a member that books a camper via the website. The Service Fee covers the use of the Website as well as the services, which is calculated as a percentage of the total reservation amount (which may or may not include additional fees, taxes, and deposits).
7.7. The Service Fee is displayed at the time the relevant booking is made and will only be refunded in the event of cancellation.
7.8. If a Renter initiates a chargeback, whether for rental fees or a security deposit, the Company will promptly notify the Owner of the chargeback initiation.
7.8.1. In the event the Company deems a chargeback unwarranted, the Company will make commercially reasonable efforts to dispute the validity of the chargeback on the Owner’s behalf. The Owner commits to fully cooperate with the Company and provide any information reasonably requested for the investigation.

In the event that a chargeback dispute results in funds being debited from the Company's account, the Owner authorises the Company to recapture such an amount from the Owner’s bank account or to withhold such an amount from any payment due to the Owner, both immediately and in the future, without prior notice.
7.8.3. The Owner acknowledges that chargeback decisions are solely made by the issuing bank, card networks, or NCR, and that all determinations regarding the validity of the chargeback are at the discretion of the relevant issuing bank, Card Networks, or NCR.
7.9. The fees you see listed below are related to any post-rental resolution between the Owner and the Renter. Failure to charge any of the fees below shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise the same in the event another fee should become due at any other time.
7.9.1. Administrative Fee - The Company shall charge the Renter an administrative fee on any charges listed by the Owner on the Return form (identified as overages, charges, damages).
7.9.2. Late Fee - If a Renter returns the camper after the agreed rental period end time, such Renter will be charged a late fee. This late fee is calculated by combining an administrative fee with the prorated hourly rental rate (based on the daily rate for the camper rented). There is a one (1)-hour grace period with each rental. If the late return results in the disruption of another rental or the Company needs to find the owner of the camper alternative transportation due to the late return, the Renter will pay the full daily rate for every eight (8) hours the Camper is late. These charges will be added to the initial rental rate agreed upon by the Owner and Renter.
7.9.3. Cleaning Fee - you understand that campers get dirty out on the road. Returning a camper with a normal amount of dirt is acceptable and will not result in any additional charges. However, if a camper is returned covered in dirt, soot, garbage, food, wine stains, etc, and you, as Renter, did not clean the camper prior to returning it, the Owner may charge the Renter, possibly through the Company, an additional cleaning fee. These fees may vary for each Owner.
7.9.4. No-Show Fee - If the Owner does not show up to meet the Renter and make the camper available for the Renter at the agreed-upon rental start time, the Company will treat this as an Owner cancellation. If a Renter does contact the Company to cancel the rental, the Renter will be charged the total amount for the rental period until the issue is resolved. If the Renter does not show up to pick up the camper, it will be treated as a Renter cancellation and subject to the Owner’s cancellation policy.
7.9.5. Refuelling Fee -Renters should check with the Owner to discuss their fuel options and miscellaneous charges before the rental begins. The camper’s petrol tank and LPG tanks should be full when you pick it up, but be sure to discuss expectations and options. The Renter refuels the camper prior to the end of the rental and returns it with the same amount of fuel at the time of pickup. If the rented camper is not refuelled upon return, the Owner will send the Company the receipt. The amount will be charged to the Renter plus an administrative fee.
7.9.6. Camper Damage - A R 5 000.00 (five thousand rand) fee will be incurred for stranding a camper (in addition to any costs incurred to repair the Camper). In the case of any damage to the camper (fiberglass, cushions, cabinetry, electronics, etc.), the Renter will be charged the actual cost of parts plus hourly labour costs needed to repair the damaged item. The amount will be charged to the Renter plus an administrative fee.
7.9.7. Lost Item Fee - Any lost or damaged items will be valued at Campworld, 4x4 Megaworld etc. Internet retail pricing for comparable item(s). The amount must be claimed on the Damage Form and will be charged to the Renter plus an administrative fee.
7.9.8. Breakage Fee - In the event of any damages incurred to the camper during the rental period, the Renter agrees to a deduction of R 250.00 from the deposit as a breakage fee. This fee is applicable to any necessary repairs deemed by the Company.
7.10 The Renter acknowledges and agrees that the Deposit shall be required to cover potential insurance excess fees associated with the rental agreement with the Company. The Deposit will serve as security against any claims arising from damages to the rented property or any third-party liabilities incurred during the rental period. In the event of a claim, wherein the total amount exceeds the aforementioned Deposit, the Renter shall be liable to pay either the full amount of the claim or an excess fee equivalent to 10% of the total claim amount, whichever is greater. The excess fee shall be deducted from the Deposit, and any remaining balance shall be refunded to the Renter within a reasonable timeframe following the resolution of the claim. The Renter understands and agrees that failure to pay the required excess fee may result in legal action and additional charges, as outlined in the terms and conditions.
8. CANCELLATIONS AND REFUNDS:
8.1. The Renter is entitled to a full refund of monies paid, less the Companys Service Fee, for all cancellations made at least 30 (thirty) days prior to the rental start date. If a cancellation is made within the 30 (thirty) day window immediately prior to the rental start date, the booking is non-refundable.
8.2. Any Renter who wishes to cancel their booking must submit a cancellation request through the Company's website. The cancellation request will be processed according to the Owner’s chosen cancellation policy, which the Renter previously agreed to.
8.3. To qualify for any refund, cancellations must be made by 23:00 local time on the day specified in the applicable cancellation policy.
8.4.

For all bookings made less than 7 (seven) days prior to the rental start date, there is only a one (1)-hour grace cancellation period wherein the Renter will be entitled to a refund of all monies paid. Once the rental period commences, the booking becomes non-refundable.
8.5. The Company retains the sole discretion to consider exceptional refund requests outside of the standard cancellation policy. Any such decisions will be at the Company’s discretion and are final.
8.6. Each Owner agrees that the Company may:
8.6.1. permit the Renter to cancel the booking and
8.6.2. refund to the Renter that portion of the payment specified in the applicable cancellation policy.
8.7. If there is a dispute concerning the cancellation policy or any refunds, the Company must be contacted at least 24 (twenty-four) hours before the rental start date. In accepting an appointment as the limited payment collection agent of the Owner, the Company assumes no liability for any acts or omissions of the Owner. The Owner understands and recognizes the Company as the limited payment collection agent and agrees that the Company controls the dispersal of all funds in accordance with this Agreement and the cancellation policy chosen by the Owner and that the Company has the final say in all payment disputes. In accepting an appointment as the limited payment collection agent of the Owner, the Company assumes no liability for any acts or omissions of the Owner.
