Customer will be in default if Customer fails to return the vehicle on time, fails to pay amounts owed, provides false information, violates this Agreement, disables tracking, uses the vehicle for prohibited purposes, fails to cooperate with a claim, or otherwise creates a safety, security, payment, or legal risk.
