However, if the Lessee has not breached this rental agreement by violation of any condition, restriction or term of this rental agreement, and if the Lessee has accepted and paid for the Collision Damage Waiver (CDW), Lessor will waive its claims against Lessee for collision damage (after the Lessee pays the deductible charge), to the car except for collision damage to glass, tires and rims, as well as transmission and engine, as same are not covered by the Collision Damage Waiver. Lessee is always fully liable for glass, tires and rims, as well as transmission and engine and also the CDW exclusions stated in section 18.
