Dutch term or phrase: consignataris

I'm not used to these terms: I find "consignee", "depositary" or "trustee".

It's definitely not the third option I'm looking for in my context, but I'm a bit at a loss as to the other two...Any bright minds ou there? The context is that of soft drink machines that are being installed (for example by Co-Cola) in public places or at supermarkets, etc...De consignataris wordt verondersteld de persoon te zijn waar de machine wordt aan "verhuurd".

consignee

Explanation:
I know that this answer has been given before, but I'll try to explain.
First of all, this is the perfect word for the given context. It is about consignment=shipping of goods
consignee=the one who gets the goods (buys them or rents them for a while)
the one who sends the goods is=consignor

depositary=a person who accepts deposits to be placed at his place/company; not necessarily a consignee; the goods can be taken by a third party.

trustee=someone with legal control of money or property that is kept or invested for another person, company or organization.

I hope I've been clear enough and you can understand it better.

Good luck,

the consignee has the possibility to rent machines for a while, with the possibility of buying them in the end.
