subject to vehicle availability and must receive written approval from Sands Of Time LLC. Submission of an extension request does not constitute approval. Extension requests submitted less than twenty-four (24) hours before the

scheduled return time may result in a $250 Late Extension and Scheduling Disruption Fee if the request causes or contributes to a scheduling conflict, interferes with an existing reservation, or disrupts business operations. Sands Of Time LLC

reserves the right to deny any extension request, particularly when the vehicle is committed to another reservation. GUEST remains obligated to return the vehicle at the originally agreed-upon date and time unless an extension has been

expressly approved in writing. Failure to return the vehicle as scheduled may result in additional late-return charges, recovery expenses, and other applicable fees as provided in the Rental Agreement. The $250 scheduling disruption fee is

intended to compensate Sands Of Time LLC for reasonably anticipated administrative and operational losses associated with a qualifying disruption, rather than serve as a punitive charge.
