- MyPop will determine, upon its sole discretion, whether a person is accepted as User and shall so notify the User via the Platform or by email, and unlock the features only available to Users. MyPop may, at any given time, decide to withdraw its acceptance of a User.
- The User acknowledges that their Account is strictly personal and may not be used by any third-party. The User acknowledges and expressly agrees that it is strictly forbidden for Users to give, lend, sell or otherwise transfer their Account to third parties. If a User has reason to believe that a third party is using their Account (e.g., in case of loss or damage of the Platform/mobile phone), they shall immediately notify MyPop’s Customer Support.
-
How can I use the Services and Vehicles?
Only Users may use the Services in accordance with the present Agreement, it being understood that the rights granted to any User shall at all times be limited rights of use and shall under no circumstances be considered as a transfer of ownership of the Vehicles.
The MyPop Membership grants the Users access to the Services and to a MyPop Vehicle during the MyPop Membership period for a fixed Monthly Fee.
-
How can I book a Vehicle?
- In order to rent a Vehicle, the User shall select an available Vehicle through the Platform. All bookings are subject to availability and MyPop cannot guarantee that a booking made through the Platform will be accepted by MyPop or executed.
- After MyPop has processed a User booking and confirmed that MyPop is able to fulfill it, the User will receive a written confirmation of their order and will be requested to deposit an amount of money equivalent to the amount of one (1) Monthly Fee for the ordered Vehicle (the “Deposit”). Once the Deposit is received by MyPop, the User shall be provided with the confirmation of the concluded Agreement, by email, at the latest before the performance of the Services begins.
- Pursuant to Article VI.53, 12°, of the Belgian Code of Economic Law, the User has no right of withdrawal for the Services. A User may however cancel their order at any time, without incurring any costs in relation to the order, as long as they have not yet taken possession of the ordered Vehicle. In this case MyPop will refund the Deposit and the first Monthly Fee (if already paid) as soon as reasonably possible and in any case within fourteen (14) Days after receipt of the cancellation. In the event that a User cancels their order less than three (3) Business Days prior to their chosen Delivery Date, a cancellation Fee may apply.
-
How will I receive the Vehicle?
- Once MyPop has received a User’s Deposit, MyPop will reach out to said User to plan the delivery of the Vehicle to the address chosen by said User in Belgium or to organize a pick-up of the Vehicle at a delivery point specified by MyPop.
- The User must recuperate the Vehicle within 5 Business Days after being contacted.
- The Vehicle may be delivered anywhere in Belgium (against additional fees that will be detailed when booking this service) or picked-up at the delivery point specified by MyPop.
- Upon delivery or pick-up, the User will be requested to produce proof of identity (matching the User’s identity), to inspect the Vehicle and to sign a delivery receipt.
- If for any reason, a User does not take delivery of their Vehicle in accordance with the chosen delivery location and date, MyPop will charge the User for the cost of returning the Vehicle. This can happen when the User is not at the agreed location at the time of delivery or if the person present cannot prove they are the User who registered for said Vehicle.
- Prior to accepting the Vehicle, the User must perform a Vehicle inspection together with the person who delivers the Vehicle, by conducting an exterior walk-around and visual inspection of Vehicle exterior for damage and documenting this with the appropriate pictures. An internal inspection must also be performed and reported in the same manner. In case of any damage to the Vehicle, the User shall clearly indicate this to the person in charge of the Vehicle delivery. The risk of loss or damage of the Vehicle passes to the User at the moment they take physical possession of the Vehicle by receiving its key or signing the delivery receipt. If the User fails to report any damage or defect which could easily be noticed by the aforementioned external and internal inspections or immediately after starting the engine and which was not reported at the time of the aforementioned inspections or at the latest immediately after starting the engine, the User shall be held responsible for the damage or defect.
-
How many kilometers are included in the Monthly Fee?
- The Monthly Fee includes a monthly mileage credit of one thousand kilometers (1.000 km) for each Billing Period (“Kilometers Credit”) which is included in the Kilometers Balance at each Billing Date. You can travel this distance with the Vehicle without additional costs over the Monthly Fee.
- On each Billing Date, the Kilometers Balance will be topped up with a new Kilometers Credit, and any kilometer in the Kilometers Balance that has not been used up (i.e., driven with the Vehicle) in the previous Billing Period(s) will remain available in the Kilometers Balance for future use. In other words, the Kilometers Credit can be cumulated within the Kilometers Balance over the duration of the MyPop Membership.
- In the event that a User drives more kilometers than the accumulated Kilometers Credits in their Kilometers Balance, each extra kilometer will be charged at the rate of EUR 0.10 per kilometer (including VAT) at the end of said User’s MyPop Membership.
- If the amount of extra kilometers to the Kilometers Balance exceeds five thousand kilometers (5.000 km), the User must actively communicate this information to MyPop’s Customer Support. The User will then be charged for these additional kilometers and the Kilometers Balance will then be reset to zero.
-
What about recharging and/or refueling?
- The User must monitor the Vehicle’s remaining driving range and the sufficiency of the Vehicle’s fuel level or electric charge, as applicable. If the fuel level or electric charge falls below a remaining driving range of ten (10) kilometers, the User must re-fuel/re-charge the Vehicle.
- The User is responsible for the cost of fuel and electric charge. MyPop shall in no event be responsible and shall not be held liable to reimburse the User if a Vehicle is inoperable due to a lack of fuel or electric charge. The User is responsible for any cost (including any cost of repair) relating the relocation and the refueling or recharging of the Vehicle due to such failure and any other costs resulting from improper recharging and refueling of a Vehicle.
- At the end of the MyPop Membership, when the Vehicle is picked up by MyPop or delivered to MyPop, the fuel tank / battery should be full, identical as to when the Vehicle was delivered to the User (full fuel tank for petrol, diesel, CNG and hybrid cars and/or a full battery for EV and hybrid cars). If this is not the case, a fueling/charging Fee will be charged.
-
Can I use the Vehicle outside of Belgium?
The User is allowed to take a Vehicle and travel out of the country within the Schengen area.
-
Who can drive the Vehicle?
- Each Account and Vehicle is strictly personal: a Vehicle may only be used and operated by the User through whose Account the Vehicle is booked. The User expressly acknowledges that it shall in no event allow any third party to use and operate a Vehicle with the User’s Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a third party shall be entitled to use the Vehicle as a passenger when the User themselves is using and operating the Vehicle. Exceptionally, MyPop may authorize in writing another person also registered as a User to use the Vehicle upon specific request of a User.
- The User expressly acknowledges and agrees that it is strictly forbidden for Users to give, lend, sell or otherwise transfer their Account to third parties.
- The User expressly acknowledges that only the User specified on MyPop platform is covered by the insurance provided for in these Terms and Conditions and is authorized to use MyPop’s Services and Vehicles. Any third party (other than the User) who uses MyPop's Services or Vehicles without being authorized to do so by MyPop shall not be covered by the insurance provided for in these Terms and Conditions.
- Any damage, accident or other events caused by an unauthorized third party using MyPop's Services and Vehicles, leading to damage to MyPop's Services and Vehicles, shall be the sole liability of the User who allowed the third party to use such Services and Vehicles, without prejudice to any other penalties or costs that MyPop may impose on such User.

- The User may terminate their MyPop Membership at any time by giving written notice via the Platform at least fourteen (14) Days prior the next Billing Date.
- Any termination notice issued later than fourteen (14) Days prior to a Billing Date will not take effect at said Billing Date but only at the following Billing Date.

The User is liable for all costs arising from the fact that the Vehicle does not meet this requirement. In case of a dispute relating to the condition of or damage to the Vehicle, a recognized expert will be appointed by MyPop to determine the condition of the Vehicle and estimate the cost of its cleaning and/or repair in accordance with this Agreement.

-
In which cases do I have to contact MyPop’s Customer Support?
Without prejudice and in addition to any other notification obligations as set out in this Agreement, the User must immediately notify MyPop’s Customer Support and cease its use of the Services and the Vehicles, if any of the following occurs:

-
Financially, how does it work?
- The Monthly Fee (i) covers the use of the Services and of the Vehicle for one (1) Billing Period and (ii) includes all costs relating to Vehicle rental, the vehicle compulsory insurance (meaning no omnium or extended insurance), tires replacement (only in case of normal wear and tear), oil changes and regular maintenance of the Vehicle (only in case of normal use), registration tax and road tax, as well as the provision of a replacement Vehicle for the User if the Vehicle is immobilized for more than 24 hours due to a problem attributable to MyPop. The amount of the Monthly Fee depends on the type and model of Vehicle chosen and will be shown on the booking screen on the online store. The Monthly Fee is payable each Billing Period, in advance of each Billing Date. The first Monthly Fee will be debited from the User’s means of payment on the date of delivery of the Vehicle (i.e., the first Billing Date).
- After the first Billing Date, the Monthly Fee will be payable in advance on the same moment of each Billing Period (the Billing Date). Each Billing Period therefore begins on a Billing Date and lasts until the next Billing Date in the following month. For example, if a Vehicle is delivered on 5 July, the first Billing Period will be from 5 July to 4 August, and the next Billing Period will begin on 5 August, until the following Billing Date which is 5 September, and so on.
- MyPop might update the Monthly Fee from time to time. In such a case, the User will be notified in advance by email, it being understood that should the User disagree with the Monthly Fee modification, they can terminate the Agreement in accordance with these Terms and Conditions.
- Unless clearly stated otherwise, an additional Fee will be charged for the delivery of the Vehicle.
- All cost charged to MyPop by any authority or entity in MyPop capacity of owner of the Vehicle (including, but not limited to, tolls, parking tickets, fines and all costs in relation thereto, and other retributions) during a User’s MyPop Membership will be charged to said User as additional Fees and may also include a supplementary administrative Fee of three euros (3 EUR). These additional costs (and the administrative Fee if applicable) will be added to the User’s Monthly Fee as booked in the same way.
- For the avoidance of doubt, the following costs and fees are not included in the Monthly Fees and the User expressly agrees to pay them accordingly:
- any fines due as a result of the User's behaviour or actions, such as, but not limited to, fines resulting from traffic, criminal and crash-related offences;
- any extra insurance on top of the legally compulsory vehicle insurance;
- any costs and fees related to any damage to the Vehicle, including damage resulting from a case of force majeure, while the User is using the Vehicle (such as, but not limited to, storms, thunderstorms and other meteorological events, theft, vandalism, explosion, fire, etc.);
- any costs related to parking the Vehicle.
The above list is not exhaustive and simply includes the most common costs and fees that may be charged to the User.
- MyPop shall also invoice the User for their use of the Vehicle in some specific cases in accordance with the following price list (prices including VAT):
- additional Fees in the event the User exceeds the Kilometers Balance: 0,10 EUR per additional kilometer
- processing of traffic/parking offences: 20 EUR
- processing of criminal (traffic) offences: 150 EUR
- processing of damages and accidents: 50 EUR
- special cleaning fee (e.g., due to heavy soiling or smoking in the Vehicle): 75 EUR
- loss or theft of key: 150 EUR + 50 EUR to get it replaced
- delivery Fee: 100 EUR
- cancellation Fee (within three Days before planned delivery): 50 EUR
- delivery failure Fee: 200 EUR
- fuel tank / battery Fee (at end of the MyPop Membership): 100 EUR.
- If any Monthly Fee (including any additional Fee if applicable) is not paid on the Billing Date, MyPop will send the concerned User one (1) reminder asking them to check their payment method details in the Platform and make sure the payment succeeds immediately. If a User experiences any issues with their payment (method), they must contact MyPop’s Customer Support. If MyPop has not received the due payment after this first reminder, a formal notice will be sent, followed by some procedure and collection measures, which may entail additional costs for the User, it being understood that the Deposit may also be used to cover these costs. If the payment of the Monthly Fee has not been received within fifteen (15) Days after the Billing Date, MyPop also has the right to immediately terminate the User’s MyPop Membership, in which case the User will be informed by email, and the MyPop Membership will be automatically terminated on the fourth (4th) Business Day following this email, unless the full payment of the late Monthly Fee is received by that time.
- Additional Fees payable on top of the Monthly Fee will be charged immediately and must be paid at latest at the following Billing Date.
- All Fees of any kind shall be automatically charged by the applicable third-party payment provider to the User’s payment method as designated by the User. Payments may be subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable third-party payment provider. MyPop shall in no event be liable for any damages arising out or in connection to the payment solution or services provided by the third-party payment provider.
- The User will be notified by email of any invoice or payment attempt for any Fee. If the User does not agree with the communicated information, they must inform MyPop within five (5) Business Days following the payment or the date of receipt of the email. In the absence of notification of a dispute, there is an irrefutable presumption that the User has agreed to the payment. In case of timely dispute, MyPop will inform the User whether or not it will modify the deduction.
- In the event of late payment, the User will owe interest to MyPop at the legal interest rate increased by eight percent (8%) and the maximum lump sum indemnity provided by law (with a minimum of 100 EUR if the law allows it) without the need of any prior notice.
- The Deposit paid by the User may be used to cover any due payment that is not paid by the User, without the need of any prior notice and MyPop shall then have the right to terminate the Agreement or suspend its execution until it receives a full Deposit from the User again.
- This Article will survive termination of this Agreement.
-
What happens in case of an accident?
In the event of an accident involving the Vehicle, or if any damage or injury is caused to any person or property arising from the use of the Vehicle, the User must:
