In the event of damage to the tire which requires its replacement, the Renter will independently turn to a tire repair shop and will bear the cost of replacing the tire. Insofar as the replacement of the tire is handled by Eldan, the Renter will be charged with the cost of the replacement of the tire plus a handling fee at the rate of 25% of such cost.
7.8. It is hereby clarified that Eldan is not responsible and shall not bear any liability for damages and/or loss whatsoever to any contents and/or any property that was in the Car or stored in it and/or consequential damages arising therefrom, of any kind whatsoever, and the liability to cover such damages shall be borne solely by the Renter.

7.11. Without derogating from the generality of the foregoing, in any case of damage caused at the fault of a third party, Eldan may, at its sole discretion, sue the third party for such damages and the Renter hereby authorizes Eldan to sue for the Deductible on his/her/its behalf. In such event, Eldan shall refund the Deductible to the Renter, provided that Eldan has been fully reimbursed for all of its damages and expenses. It is hereby clarified that the refund of the Deductible shall not be linked to any index and shall not carry any interest.
