GENERAL
- It is assumed that each LESSEE or end user understands the operating procedures for each piece of equipment ordered.
- LESSEE has inspected or may inspect the equipment and/or vehicles before the start of a job. LESSOR MAKES NO GUARANTEE, WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION AS TO PERFORMANCE, CONDITION OR OPERABILITY OF THE EQUIPMENT AND/OR VEHICLES OR ITS SUITABILITY FOR THE JOB (LESSEE TAKES THE EQUIPMENT AND/OR VEHICLES ON AN AS-IS BASIS): AND LESSEE WAIVES ALL CLAIMS AGAINST LESSOR FOR ACTUAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING FROM LESSEE’S RENTAL, USE AND POSSESSION OF THE EQUIPMENT AND/OR VEHICLES.
- LESSEE shall, at his own expense, protect, keep and maintain, in his custody, the equipment and/or vehicles in good state of condition and repair, and shall not use or operate such equipment and/or vehicles other than in a manner and for the use contemplated by the manufacturer thereof, and agrees to return the same to LESSOR’S premises upon termination of the rental period in the same condition and good order as when received.
- LESSOR’S acceptance of the return of rented equipment and/or vehicles is not a waiver of claims the LESSOR may have against LESSEE, nor a waiver of claims for latent or patent damage to the equipment and/or vehicles.
- LESSEE agrees to compensate LESSOR at the daily rate per catalog price when the equipment is out of service for repairs or replacement as a result of said equipment being lost, stolen, missing or damaged, other than as the result of reasonable wear and tear.

To be tax exempt, customers must have a current exemption certificate on file.
- To secure the payment of the rental due hereunder, LESSEE hereby authorizes, irrevocably, any attorney of any Court of Record to appear for LESSEE in such court, in term time or vacation, at any time hereafter, and confess a judgment, without process, in favor of the owner or its order, for such amount as may appear to be unpaid and due hereon, together with all costs and reasonable attorney’s fees, and to waive and release all error which may intervene in any such proceedings, and consent to immediate execution upon such judgment, hereby ratifying and confirming all that said attorney may do by virtue thereof.
