LEASE AGREEMENT AND SERVICE CONTRACT

This Lease Agreement and Service Contract (the “Lease Agreement”) by and between Budget IID, LLC, an Arizona limited liability company (“Us” or “Provider”) and the individual referenced above (“You” or “Customer”) is agreed to and executed as of the above Date (the “Effective Date”). 

Customer is a participant in the ignition interlock program (the “Program“). The Program involves the installation of an ignition interlock system (the “System”) into Customer’s vehicle. The Program includes monitoring the use and function of the System by means of a built-in data logger, having service checks performed and data logger information retrieved at regular intervals, and providing the appropriate authorities responsible for administration of the Program (the “Administering Authorities“) with periodic reports as to Customer’s compliance or non-compliance with the requirements of the Program.

The function of the System is to prevent Customer from operating the vehicle after consuming alcohol. The System requires a breath test prior to starting the vehicle, followed by a series of retests at random intervals. If the Customer fails the initial test, the system will enter a lock out state that prevents the vehicle from being started for a period of time. If the Customer fails a retest or does not take a retest when required, an alarm will sound until the retest is taken and passed or, alternatively, the vehicle is stopped and the engine shut off.
