renter(s)" means you, the renters spouse, any additional renter(s) who have signed this Agreement, and any other driver authorized by the law of the state

2. Our Property. This Agreement is a contract for the rental of the vehicle. You are not our agent. You acquire no rights other than those expressly stated
in this Agreement. We make no warranties, express, implied or apparent, referring to the vehicle, including any warranty of merchantability or that the
vehicle is fit for a particular purpose. We may repossess the vehicle at your expense without notice to you if the vehicle is abandoned or used in violation
of law or this Agreement. You waive all recourse against us for any criminal reports or prosecutions that we take against you that arise out of your breach
of this agreement.
3. Collision Damage Waiver. You must pay for CDW before you receive the vehicle, or at the start of the rental in order for it to be effective. CDW is not
insurance. CDW covers only collision damage, unless otherwise required by the laws of the state where the rental occurs. CDW is void, where allowed by
law, if a) you fail to call the police to the scene of an accident; b) you fail to report all accidents to us and the police within 24 hours of occurrence or
discovery; c) you fail to pay all rental charges when the vehicle is returned or the rental is terminated; or d) the vehicle is driven or used in an unauthorized
manner, such as (i) by anyone who is not an authorized driver, or by anyone whose driving license is suspended in any jurisdiction; (ii) by anyone under
the influence of drugs or alcohol; (iii) by anyone who obtained the vehicle by fraud or misrepresentation; (iv) in furtherance of any illegal purpose or under
any circumstance that would constitute a violation of law; (v) to carry persons or property for hire; (vi) to push or tow anything; (vii) in any race, speed test
or contest; (viii) to teach anyone to drive; (ix) for carrying dangerous items or contraband; (x) outside the United States or Canada; (xi) when loaded beyond
its capacity; (xii) driving faster than road conditions or the legal speed limit allow; (xiii) to transport more passengers than the number of seat belts, or to
carry persons outside the passenger compartment; (xiv) to transport children without approved child safety seats as required by law;or (xv) when the
odometer or its seal has been tampered with; or e) you commit a wanton or reckless act with the vehicle, such as by giving the vehicle to a person not
authorized by law or by this Agreement.
4. Breach of Agreement: Unauthorized Use. If you commit any of the acts in paragraph 3(d) and 3(e), above, each of which is an unauthorized use of
the vehicle and a breach of this agreement, you will be liable for all damage to, or loss of, the Vehicle caused by, or occurring while committing, these acts.
Giving the Vehicle to an unauthorized driver also terminates our liability insurance coverage, if any.
5. Instructions. You acknowledge that you have received instructions on the operation, use and maintenance of the vehicle, including the operation and
safety precautions connected with the bottled gas installations and appliances, and that you are totally familiar with the same. During non-travel periods,
you will keep the vehicle level in order for appliances to operate properly. Any loss of refrigerated items is solely your responsibility.
6. Condition and Return of Vehicle. Renter has carefully examined the vehicle and finds it suitable for the purpose for which it is leased; and finds after
a demonstration of their uses, the accessories, equipment and appliances in acceptable and working condition. You agree to periodically examine the
equipment including all fluid levels andtires, and to maintain them in a safe, operable, and dependable condition while in your custody. You will pay for all
damage to the vehicle due to driving with low fluid levels or use of incorrect fuels, fluids or parts. If any defect is discovered after the acceptance of the unit,
you will immediately obtain instructions from us, the continued use of the vehicle will be at your own risk, and you will assume the liabilities of injury and
damage to third persons. Renters must return the vehicle to our rental office at the date and time specified. The vehicle remains subject to the terms and
conditions of this agreement until it has been inspected and accepted by us on the next business day. Service to the vehicle, repair or replacement of parts
or accessories during the rental must have our prior approval.
7. Responsibility for Damage or Loss. If CDW is voided, you are responsible, and will pay us on demand, for all missing equipment, damage to, or loss
of the vehicle, loss of use of the vehicle while it is being repaired, diminution of the vehicle's value caused by damage to it or repair of it, and all
administrative costs we incur due to damage to, or loss of, the vehicle, for which we are entitled by law to recover, regardless of whether or not you
are at fault. If CDW is not voided, your liability for collision damage will be limited to the amount indicated on the back side of this Agreement; you will
still be responsible for all missing equipment and damage to, or loss of, the vehicle, other than collision damage, for which we are entitled by law to recover.
8. Charges. You will pay us on demand for: (a) time and mileage for the period during which you keep the vehicle, plus our computation of actual mileage

when rented; (d) applicable sales, use and other taxes; (e) loss of, or damage to, the vehicle, which includes the cost of repair or the retail value of the

person, that we received, handled or stored, or that was left in or on the vehicle or in any service vehicle or in our offices, whether or not the loss or
damage was caused by our negligence.
11. Delays. GoNorth RV Camper Rental, LLC does not provide travel insurance. We are not responsible for delays, cancellations, or associated costs
incurred by the Renter due to accident, breakdown, vehicle maintenance or repair.
12. Modifications. No term of this Agreement can be waived or modified except by a writing that we have signed. If you wish to extend the rental period,
you must return thevehicle to our rental office for inspection and written amendment of the due-in date.
13. Miscellaneous. No waiver by us of any breach of this Agreement will constitute a waiver of any additional breach or waiver of the performance of your
obligations under this Agreement. Our acceptance of payment from you or our failure, refusal or neglect to exercise any of our rights under this Agreement
will not constitute a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement. If any provision of this Agreement is deemed void or unenforceable, the remaining
provisions are valid and enforceable. This Agreement and the "Vehicle Operations Guide" constitute the entire agreement between you and us. All prior representations and agreements between you and us are merged into this Agreement.

GoNorth will not apply a fee for additional drivers.
Insurance:
Liability insurance up to $1,000,000.00 is included in the price of the vehicle rental. The mandatory CDW (Collision Damage Waver) reduces the drivers liability for Collision Damage to a $1000.00 deductible. This CDW does not include any glass and tires on the rental vehicles and camper units.
For an additional fee of 7.00/day, these items can be included in the deductible. The same $7.00 fee also reduces the customer's deductible to $250.00.
Customers will be required to deposit these deductibles with GoNorth upon vehicle pickup. GoNorth will refund the deposit at the end of the rental period, provided that the vehicle is returned undamaged.
Road restrictions:
In general GoNorth vehicles are permitted on all public roads, including gravel roads, in Alaska and the Yukon.
However GoNorth reserves the right to temporarily limit travel on individual roads or road segments based on changing conditions. These restrictions are generally based on travel recommendations issued by the Alaska Department of Transportation (DOT).
Clients are expected to inform GoNorth immediately in case of a breakdown or accident.
Attention: A vehicle breakdown or accident can easily delay a trip by several days. Due in part to the large distances and
remote locations involved, clients may spend several days waiting for a repair or replacement vehicle. GoNorth
cannot be held responsible for delays or changed plans that are caused by an accident or breakdown.
One way fees:
Between Anchorage and Fairbanks per vehicle $550.00 (all categories).
