    7. Without prejudicing LESSEE’s right to terminate the Lease according to section 6.5 of the Agreement, the level of the Rent / Service Charge will remain unchanged for a period of 3 (three) months following the execution of the Agreement, following which LESSOR may change it by sending a related notice or by including in the invoice a mention as to the change in the level of Rent / Service charge.
    8. The amendment of the Rent will become effective always on a first day of a month (the “Application Date”), respectively on the first date of the month that follows the date of the notice or invoice’s receipt by LESSEE, but not sooner than 30 days as of the receipt date. (example: if notice or invoice is received on July 1st, the Application Date is August 1st, but if received on July 2 the Application Date is September 1st), unless LESSOR receives before the Application Date the LESSEE’s notice on termination of the Lease, as per section 6.5 of the Agreement (in which case the Rent and the Service Charge will remain unchanged until the end of the Lease).
    9. Failure by LESSEE to make the payment of the Rent / Service Charge in full on of before the due date constitutes a Major Infringement.
    10. The Rent and the Service Charge will be due by LESSEE for all periods during the Term of Lease when LESSEE’s access to the Unit or to the EMS Compound is restricted or limited by LESSOR according to the Agreement.
    11. The provisions of sections 14.3 - 14.4 above will apply also to the Night Access Fee (if LESSEE opts for access to Unit during the Night Access Hours), and to the tax for holding more than one Access Card.
  15. Payment Procedure. Contract Number Requirement.

    1. In respect of all payment made under the Agreement, LESSEE undertakes to specify in the payment documents (such as payment orders) the invoice Number, and understands that in case of failure to make such mention the payment may not be registered and considered as not made, with all related consequences.
    2. All payments under the Agreement will be made in Lei according to the NBR Euro / Lei exchange rate applicable on the date of the invoice’s issuance.
    3. The payment of any amount due under the Agreement will be considered effected on the date on which the account of the receiving Party is credited. LESSEE must ensure that it orders and effects the payment so that LESSOR’s account is credited not later than the due date.
    4. If LESSEE makes a payment which is more than the outstanding amount, LESSOR is authorized to use the difference to cover future payments. If LESSEE requests refunding of such sum, LESSOR will return the overpayment within 20 (twenty) days as of the date of receiving the request, less the commissions / costs implied by the bank transfer (or by other method of payment requested by LESSEE and agreed by LESSOR).
    5. For the credit card payment, the LESSEE will pay to the LESSOR an additional amount of 2% from the paid amount, this extra charge representing the commission paid by the LESSOR to the bank. For the 2 % charge paid as a result of a credit card payment, the LESSOR will invoice the LESSEE with title of expenses generated in carrying the agreement.
  16. Penalties For Delay. Due Dates

    1. In case LESSEE fails to pay on or before its due date any amount due under the Agreement, LESSEE will owe to LESSOR a penalty of 0.5% per day of delay applied to the outstanding amount.
    2. The value of the penalties may exceed the value of the debt to which they are applied.
    3. Due Dates: Unless specified to the contrary in the Agreement (as in case of Rent and Service Charge) or in the Price List, any amount due under the Agreement will become outstanding after seven (seven) days following the receipt by the LESSEE of the first LESSOR’s notice asking the payment to be made.
  17. Other Administrative Costs

    1. In addition to the Rent and the Service Charge, LESSEE will pay to LESSOR any costs incurred by LESSOR as a result of the LESSEE’s inappropriate fulfillment or non-fulfillment of its contractual obligations, such as costs related to registered mail, phone calls to remind necessity of making outstanding payments, etc.
    2. In the category of administrative costs will be included also the expenses generated in carrying the agreement, such as the 2 % charge paid by the LESSEE to the LESSOR, in addition to the due amount, in case of a credit card payment. The extra charge of 2% will be invoiced to the LESSEE appropriately by the LESSOR, with the title of expenses generated in carrying the agreement.
  18. Security Deposit

    1. The Security Deposit will be retained by EMS during the duration of the Lease and LESSEE agrees that it may be used by LESSOR without prior notification to the LESSEE in order to cover any debt of LESSEE towards LESSOR under the Agreement, irrespectively of the type or source of such debt, such as unpaid Rent or Service Charge, penalties, debts arisen as a result of repairs needed due to LESSEE’s fault, etc.
    2. The Security Deposit will accrue no interest.
    3. LESSOR will notify LESSEE on any enforcement of the Security Deposit (total or partial) which was made in order to cover LESSEE’s debsunder the Agreement. If the Lease was not terminated by the time of EMS’ enforcement of the Security Deposit, LESSEE will transfer to LESSOR the amount of the Security Deposit which was used by the latter, so that the value of the Security Deposit reaches the value it had before enforcement. LESSOR’s failure by any reason to make such payment within 7 days as of the LESSOR’s notice’ receipt regarding the enforcement of the Security Deposit constitutes a Major Infringement.
    4. After the end of the Lease LESSOR will return to LESSEE the Security Deposit, not later that the 14th day of the month following the month in which the Lease ended, to the extent it was not enforced already and after deducting the amounts necessary to ensure that all LESSEE’s debts under the Agreement are completely paid. The transfer of the Security Deposit will be made into the account indicated by LESSEE in Section A of the Agreement or subsequently communicated to LESSOR, in RON, at the value received by the LESSOR. For a better understanding, the guarantee will be reimbursed to the LESSE, at the rate exchange issued by BNR, at the date when the invoice for the guarantee was issued, and in such case, the provisions of article 15.2. from above are not applicable. Should the transfer to the LESSEE’s account not be possible due to reasons which are not imputable to LESSOR (such as: wrong account data, account which was closed) LESSOR will hold the Security Deposit (maintaining availability to reimburse it) for a period of maxim one year after the termination of the Lease, following the expiry of which LESSEE agrees that the Security Amount may be retained definitively by LESSOR, as the effect of the prescription of LESSEE’s right of demanding the reimbursement of the Security Deposit, according to article 2.515 par. 3 N.C.C..
  19. Limitation of use

    1. Should a payment is not made by LESSEE on or before its due date under the Agreement LESSOR has the right to immediately block the access of LESSEE in the EMS Compound (including by invalidating the Access Cards) or / and block LESSEE’s access to the Unit by installing its own lock to the Unit (without removing LESSEE’s lock).
    2. LESSEE will be given access to the Unit provided (and on the date) it makes payment in full of all outstanding amounts (including penalties).
    3. LESSOR may temporary limit the access of LESSOR to the Unit or to the EMS Compound if it considers that the safety of LESSEE or of other persons within the EMS Compound, of the security of the Goods or any other goods inside the EMS Compound may be put at risk.
    4. LESSEE agrees that LESSOR is not liable for any loss LESSEE may suffer as a result of LESSEE not being able to access the Unit in cases and during the periods mentioned in sections 19.1 - 19.3 above, and agrees that for this period it owes the Rent, the Service Charge and the other amounts that maybe due under the Agreement (such as the Night Access Fee), as long as the Lease is not terminated. In case the Lease is terminated the provisions of section 27 below will apply.
    5. The provisions of this section 19 do not prejudice the LESSOR’s right to terminate the Lease as a result of a Major Infringement.
  20. Replacement of the Unit

    1. LESSEE agrees that LESSOR will be entitled to replace the Unit by providing to LESSEE a similar unit in the EMS Compound, in any of the following cases:
      • Incident or circumstance that in the LESSOR’s reasonable opinion requires the Unit or a part of the EMS Compound to be closed;
      • If part of the EMS Compound is closed for repairs or redevelopment.
    2. In such cases, at the LESSOR’S discretion, depending on the availability of the Units and the period of time for which the Goods will be removed from the Unit:
      • The Goods will be moved to a Unit similar to the one rented by the LESSEE. In such situation, the Rent will remain unchanged, the LESSEE understanding and accepting the fact that he will owe to the LESSOR both the Rent and Service Charges;

      In all situations, the LESSOR will provide to LESSEE appropriate support (free of charge) when transporting the Goods to another unit.

    3. For a better understanding, the move of the Goods from the Unit can be made, depending on the urgency of the matter, either with prior notice of the LESSEE, or directly by the LESSOR, without prior notice of the LESSEE.

In case LESSEE refuses to move its Goods to another unit by the specified deadline, LESSEE understands and accepts that LESSOR will be entitled to remove the lock and transport itself the Goods to another unit, on the LESSEE’s expense, and without bearing any liability for any loss that LESSEE might suffer as a result of such actions (save for losses suffered as a result of gross negligence of misconduct of LESSOR’s Employees or contractors).
    4. Depending on the reasons that determined the replacement of the Unit, such replacement will be temporary or definitive, as decided by LESSOR and communicated to LESSEE.
    5. For the period the Goods are located in another unit, the Contract will apply to the use of the new unit by LESSEE in all respects, the same way it applies to the use of the Unit.
    6. After being informed by LESSOR on the coordinates of the new Unit, LESSEE may install its own lock at the new unit. LESSEE may use the new unit until LESSOR notifies the Client on the fact that the Unit is available to LESSEE or that provisions of this section 20 must be applied also in respect of the new unit. Immediately after receipt of such notice LESSEE will remove the lock from the new unit (and will return the new unit to LESSOR) and will transport the Goods to the unit indicated by LESSOR.
