Dispatch of the Vehicle<\/h4><p>Where the Booking requires VPC to prepare, allocate, transport or dispatch a Vehicle to a confirmed pick-up location, VPC will be considered to have performed its obligation to make the Vehicle available for collection where:<\/p><p>(a) the correct Vehicle, or an authorised substitute Vehicle where permitted under these Terms and Conditions, has been allocated to the Booking;<\/p><p>(b) the Vehicle has been dispatched to and has arrived at, or been made available at, the confirmed pick-up location within a reasonable period of the confirmed pick-up time; and<\/p><p>(c) VPC can provide reasonable evidence of the Vehicle\u2019s dispatch, arrival or availability.<\/p><p>The Customer\u2019s failure to attend or take possession of the Vehicle does not, by itself, constitute a failure by VPC to provide the booked rental service.<\/p><h4>3. Proof of Dispatch and Attendance<\/h4><p>For the purposes of this clause, reasonable evidence of dispatch, arrival or attendance may include one or more of the following:<\/p><p>(a) vehicle GPS or location records;<\/p><p>(b) date- or time-stamped photographs or video;<\/p><p>(c) staff dispatch or delivery records;<\/p><p>(d) vehicle movement or operational records;<\/p><p>(e) telephone call records;<\/p><p>(f) SMS, email, WhatsApp or other electronic communications;<\/p><p>(g) records of attempted contact with the Customer;<\/p><p>(h) staff contemporaneous notes or statements; or<\/p><p>(i) any other reasonably reliable evidence showing that the Vehicle was dispatched or made available in accordance with the Booking.<\/p><p>Electronic and operational records maintained by VPC in the ordinary course of business may be relied upon as evidence of dispatch and attendance, subject to applicable law.<\/p><h4>4. Waiting Period<\/h4><p>Unless a different waiting period is expressly stated in the Booking Confirmation or agreed with the Customer, VPC will allow a reasonable waiting period of <strong>30 minutes<\/strong> from the confirmed pick-up time.<\/p><p>Where the Customer contacts VPC before or during that period and advises of a genuine delay, VPC may, where reasonably practicable, agree to extend the waiting period.<\/p><p>Any extension is at VPC\u2019s operational discretion and does not oblige VPC to delay another booking, employee, driver, vehicle movement or other scheduled service.<\/p><h4>5. Customer No-Show<\/h4><p>A Booking may be classified as a <strong>Customer No-Show<\/strong> where:<\/p><p>(a) the Vehicle has been dispatched or made available in accordance with this clause;<\/p><p>(b) the Customer has not attended and taken possession of the Vehicle within the applicable waiting period;<\/p><p>(c) the Customer has not arranged an alternative collection or delivery time acceptable to VPC; and<\/p><p>(d) VPC has made at least one reasonable attempt to contact the Customer using the contact information supplied with the Booking, where reasonably practicable.<\/p><p>A Customer who supplies incorrect, incomplete or inaccessible contact information remains responsible for attending the confirmed pick-up as booked.<\/p><h4>6. Effect of a Customer No-Show<\/h4><p>Once a Booking has been classified as a Customer No-Show:<\/p><p>(a) VPC may withdraw the Vehicle from the pick-up location;<\/p><p>(b) VPC is not required to continue holding the Vehicle exclusively for the Customer;<\/p><p>(c) VPC may return the Vehicle to its operating base or allocate it to another booking;<\/p><p>(d) the Customer has no automatic right to require the Vehicle to be dispatched again; and<\/p><p>(e) any subsequent collection, delivery or re-dispatch requested by the Customer is subject to vehicle availability and VPC\u2019s operational capacity.<\/p><p>A Customer No-Show does not cancel or reverse costs and services already incurred or performed by VPC in connection with the Booking.<\/p><h4>7. Charges and Refunds Following a No-Show<\/h4><p>Where a Booking becomes a Customer No-Show after VPC has prepared, allocated and dispatched the Vehicle, amounts paid in respect of services already performed, costs already incurred, the period for which the Vehicle has been reserved and removed from general availability, and any applicable dispatch, delivery or operational charges are non-refundable to the extent permitted by law.<\/p><p>Where the Booking Terms state that a confirmed rental is non-refundable after the applicable cancellation deadline or after dispatch has commenced, that policy continues to apply to a Customer No-Show.<\/p><p>The parties acknowledge that these provisions are intended to compensate VPC for the genuine operational and commercial consequences of reserving and dispatching a Vehicle and are not intended to operate as a penalty.<\/p><p>Nothing in this clause excludes any refund or remedy that VPC is legally required to provide under applicable law.<\/p><h4>8. Re-Dispatch<\/h4><p>If VPC agrees to make the Vehicle available after a Customer No-Show, VPC may require payment of a reasonable additional re-dispatch, delivery or collection charge before the Vehicle is dispatched again.<\/p><p>Acceptance of a re-dispatch request does not extend the original rental period unless VPC expressly agrees otherwise in writing.<\/p><p>Unless otherwise agreed, the original Booking commencement and return times remain unchanged.<\/p><h4>9. Circumstances Outside the Customer\u2019s Control<\/h4><p>VPC may, acting reasonably and at its discretion, waive or reduce a No-Show charge or permit alternative arrangements where the Customer provides satisfactory evidence of exceptional circumstances outside the Customer\u2019s reasonable control.<\/p><p>Any waiver in one case does not create an obligation for VPC to grant the same waiver in another case.<\/p><h4>10. VPC Failure to Attend<\/h4><p>This Customer No-Show provision does not apply where VPC fails to dispatch or make the Vehicle available substantially in accordance with the confirmed Booking and the failure was not caused by the Customer.<\/p><p>Nothing in this clause limits any rights or remedies available to a Customer under the Consumer Protection Act 2000 or any other applicable law that cannot lawfully be excluded or restricted.<\/p><hr data-start=\"4336\" data-end=\"4339\" \/><h3 data-start=\"4341\" data-end=\"4368\"><strong data-start=\"4344\" data-end=\"4368\">8.
