Parties
This Equipment Rental Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into by and between you (the “Client”) and New Wave Media LLC, an Oregon limited liability company (the “Company”) located at 1028 SE Water Ave Suite #265 Portland, OR 97214 (the “Headquarters”).
Rental Equipment
The Company hereby rents to Client and Client hereby rents from the Company the equipment set forth herein (the “Equipment”), as fully described on your rental confirmation email (the “Confirmation”). The date set forth in the confirmation shall be referred to herein as the “Order Date” and your order of the Equipment shall be referred to herein as the “Order”.
Rental Period
The period that the Client shall retain the Equipment (the “Rental Period”) shall be as outlined in the Confirmation, unless otherwise agreed upon by both parties in writing.
Rental Fees
In consideration for the rental of the Equipment for the Rental Period, Client shall pay to the Company the sum set forth in the Confirmation (the “Rental Amount”). The Rental Amount shall be paid in full on the Order Date.
Pickup, Inspection and Acceptance
Client is solely responsible for inspecting the Equipment upon receipt and shall promptly notify the Company in writing of any defects, damages, or nonconformities prior to use. Client’s acceptance of the Equipment shall constitute acknowledgment by the Client that the Equipment is in good working condition. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing, Client is solely responsible for picking up the Equipment from the Company’s Headquarters.
Authorization Hold
To secure performance of Client’s obligations under this Agreement, Client authorizes the Company to place a hold on Client’s credit card for an amount equal to the full replacement value of the Equipment as of the Rental Start Date (the “Authorization Hold”). The Authorization Hold shall be placed on Client’s credit card or other Company-approved method of payment and shall remain in effect until all Equipment is returned to the Company in satisfactory condition, as determined solely by the Company. Upon the return of the Equipment in satisfactory condition and the fulfillment of all Client obligations under this Agreement, the Company will release the Authorization Hold, less any applicable adjustments based on the condition of the Equipment. Client acknowledges that the timing of the release is subject to the policies of the Client’s financial institution and may take additional business days past the Company’s release of the Authorization Hold, and that the Company shall not be responsible for any delays caused by the Client’s financial institution.
Cancellation Policy
Cancellations made two (2) hours or more prior to the start of the Rental Period are eligible for a full refund of the Rental Amount. Cancellations made fewer than two (2) hours before the start of the Rental Period may be subject to a cancellation fee, as outlined in the Confirmation.
Loss and Damage
Client shall, at its own expense, keep the equipment in good repair and working order in accordance with this Agreement. Client shall bear all risk of loss, damage, destruction, theft, taking, confiscation, or requisition, partial or complete, of the Equipment or its use, however caused or occasioned (“Loss”). Client shall immediately notify the Company in writing upon discovery of any such Loss. In no event shall such Loss relieve Client of its obligations under this Agreement. In the event of such Loss, Client shall, at the Company’s option: (i) promptly repair the Equipment to return it to good working order; (ii) replace the Equipment with like Equipment of the same or later model (upon the Company’s prior written approval), in good condition and working order, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances and grant the Company the right to perfect its security interest in the replacement Equipment and such replacement shall be substituted in this Agreement by appropriate amendment; or (iii) pay the Company the full replacement value of the Equipment.
Taxes
Client shall pay all license fees, registration fees, assessments, charges and taxes, including sales, use excise, personal property or other taxes which may now or hereafter be imposed upon the ownership, leasing, renting, sale, possession or use of the Equipment. Client shall indemnify, defend and hold the Company and its employees and agents harmless from all liabilities, suits, judgments, obligations, fines, penalties, claims, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of the imposition of, or attempt to impose, any such tax on the Company.
Maintenance of Equipment
Throughout the Rental Period, Client shall provide for the service, repair and maintenance of the Equipment, at Client’s sole expense, so as to keep the Equipment in good condition, repair, appearance and working order as when delivered to Client hereunder, ordinary wear and tear excepted. Client shall, at Client’s sole expense, replace any and all parts and devices which may from time to time become worn out, lost, stolen, destroyed, damaged beyond repair, or rendered unfit for use for any reason whatsoever. All such replacement parts, mechanisms, and devices shall be free and clear of liens, encumbrances, and rights of others and shall become the property of the Company and shall be covered by this Agreement to the same extent as the Equipment originally covered by this Agreement. During the Rental Period, Client shall properly store the Equipment in the appropriate protective casing or gear bag, which shall be furnished to Client by the Company. Furthermore, without the prior written consent of the Company, Client shall not use the Equipment in any hazardous environment, including without limitation under extreme weather conditions (e.g. heavy rain, snow, high humidity, sandstorms, or extreme heat or cold), excessive exposure to water (including underwater use, unless the Equipment is specifically designed for such use), or high-risk areas where the Equipment may be exposed to theft, vandalism, or physical damage.
Use, Alterations, and Inspection
Client shall exercise due care in its operation, use and maintenance of the Equipment. Client shall not use, and shall not permit others to use, the Equipment in any manner that would contravene applicable laws, rules, regulations and other governmental directives, would violate the terms of any manufacturer’s or like warranty, or would contravene the manufacturer’s reasonable operational standards for the Equipment. Client shall not make any alterations, additions, modifications or improvements to the Equipment without the prior consent of the Company. Any such alterations, additions, modifications or improvements of the Equipment shall belong to and become the property of the Company. Client agrees that only qualified employees of Client shall operate the Equipment. At all reasonable times, the Company shall have the right to inspect the Equipment.
Return of Equipment and Late Returns
Upon the conclusion of the Rental Period, Client shall return the Equipment to the Company in the condition as it was received, except for normal wear and tear. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing, Client is solely responsible for dropping off the Equipment to the Company’s Headquarters.
