5. PAYMENTS

5.1. The maturity of the lease payments is fixed in the Instalment schedule (amortization).

Adjustment shall be made on the first day of the month following the calendar quarter and is analogous to the change in quarterly EURIBOR. As a basis for calculation, HERMES shall use the three-months EURIBOR on the last day of the previous month compared to the three-month EURIBOR on the day the last adjustment of installment, respectively at the time of the vehicle delivery.

5.4. Malfunctions of the vehicle, of which HERMES is responsible under Article 2.3.2 and 2.3.3, shall not constitute grounds for termination or modification of the contract. If they are subject to repair within 14 days of notification of HERMES, this does not affect the amount of the lease payment and does not lead to any extra obligations for HERMES.

5.8. When the Client makes a payment that does not cover all its obligations to HERMES at the time of payment, the statutory rule on the order of repayment of obligations under leasing contract shall apply and namely: expenses, penalties, principal obligation.

a) the monthly leasing fee is divided into average monthly mileage, which in turn is determined by dividing the fixed annual mileage by 12;

b) The resulting quotient is multiplied by the difference between the actual recorded kilometers that exceed the fixed annual mileage minus 2500.
