Givgive may not refuse consent without reasonable cause.

7.5. A fee will be deducted from the total amount ("brokerage fee"). This is a service fee to be paid to Givgive for the operation of the Online Platform as well as the takeover of the receivables. Givgive has the right to adjust the service fee at any time according to clause [1.4] of these T&C.

7.8. Givgive shall remit the rental item fees, less the insurance fee and the service fee, to the Lender within ten (10) days after the return of the rental item ("Disbursement"), unless the Lender has objected to Givgive in writing [contact form] within twenty-four (24) hours after the return or non-acceptance of the rental item. After the expiration of this period, the settlement shall be deemed accepted without reservation.

7.9. If an objection as aforesaid is made in due time and form, Givgive shall be entitled to continue to hold the disputed rent in trust until the Borrower's or Lender's consent to the remittance of the rent has been obtained, Givgive has been provided with a legally binding decision by the competent authority, or Givgive concludes in good faith that the Borrower's or Lender's request was not justified. No interest shall accrue on the rent even during the period of delay in the payment of charges to the Lender or Borrower.

7.10. All possible claims for damages of the Borrower against Givgive, which are based on the fact that Givgive was not entitled to transfer the rent to the Lender despite the Borrower's objection, are excluded.

7.11. The user is prohibited from circumventing the aforementioned provisions of this clause 7, in particular the service fees.
