RENTAL EQUIPMENT CONDITION. Customer acknowledges that he has examined and tested the items of equipment at the time of rental, and that the equipment is in good working condition and customer accepts the same as is, and without any rental reductions or claims therefore. Company will not be held responsible for revenues lost by Customer as a result of equipment, which has failed to operate properly. Customer shall return to Company, at Customer's expense, for exchange for other equipment, any item of equipment listed herein which subsequent to delivery becomes inoperable. This provision shall not relieve Customer of responsibility in the event of damage, destruction or non-return.

Customer shall keep the equipment leased hereby in Customer's sole custody and shall not permit the leased equipment to be used in violation of any federal, state or municipal statutes, rules or regulations, and indemnifies and holds Company harmless from any and all fines, forfeitures, penalties, and for the violation of any statute, law, ordinance, rule or regulation of any duly constituted public authority. 
 

RETURN, REPAIR, MAINTENANCE. If any item of equipment is returned in a damaged or destroyed condition or if any such item is not returned for any reason (including, but not limited to, destruction, confiscation or theft), Customer shall pay to Company the monetary value of such item. Customer specifically agrees that the monetary value of each item of leased equipment is as per replacement value cost provided by Company. If any item is returned in a repairable, damaged condition, Customer shall pay to Company the cost of such repairs as determined by Company. In determining whether equipment shall be replaced or repaired, Company's judgment shall be conclusive upon Customer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, and regardless of when Customer pays Company the monetary value of the leased equipment or the cost of repairing the leased equipment in the event of loss or damage to the leased equipment, Company reserves the right to hold Customer liable for payment of rent at the rate provided in this Agreement until the equipment has actually been repaired or replaced and returned to Company's rental inventory, and Customer acknowledges that there may be delays in repair or replacement attributable to causes beyond Company's control. The acceptance of the return of the leased equipment is not a waiver by Company of any claims that it may have against Customer, nor a waiver of claims for latent or patent damage to the equipment.

The last rental day shall be the day the rental equipment is returned to Companies premises unless equipment is returned before 10:00 AM then no rental shall be charged for the day of return.
