1. Acceptance; Contract Formation. This transaction, including YOUR COMPANY NAME’s rental of Equipment to Customer, is expressly limited to and made conditional upon Customer’s assent to and acceptance of all the terms and conditions contained herein and as set forth in any related rental document, including, but not limited to any quotation, proposal, acknowledgment and/or invoice (collectively referred to hereinafter as the “Rental Documents”). The terms and conditions stated herein shall apply to and govern all Rental Documents, including any agreement, order and/or rental that may result herefrom, and these terms and conditions, along with the Rental Documents, constitute the entire agreement between YOUR COMPANY NAME and Customer. Any of Customer’s terms contained in any request for quotation, purchase order, release, acknowledgement or any other Customer document which are in addition to or different from the terms contained herein are hereby specifically objected to, rejected and excluded, and shall be of no force or effect.
2. Ordering Process. YOUR COMPANY NAME intakes and processes all Equipment rental orders either via telephone or via our website which is located at YOUR WEBSITE (the “Website”). Customer acknowledges and agrees that upon Customer’s placement of an order for a rental of Equipment (either via telephone or via the Website), and YOUR COMPANY NAME’s acceptance of such order, then a binding and enforceable rental agreement shall exist between YOUR COMPANY NAME and Customer with respect to such Equipment based upon these terms and conditions, as well any applicable Rental Documents. All rental orders accepted by YOUR COMPANY NAME are accepted with the understanding that each such order is subject to YOUR COMPANY NAME’s ability to obtain and furnish the Equipment to Customer. Customer is solely responsible for contacting Company (either via telephone or via the Website) in order to initiate the commencement of the Services, as well as the final pick-up of the Equipment (in accordance with the terms of Section 4 herein). Customer acknowledges that any telephone numbers posted on and/or adhered to the Equipment belong to third-parties and should not be used for the purpose of attempting to contact Company.
3. Delivery and Pick Up of Equipment. YOUR COMPANY NAME will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure timely delivery and pick up of Equipment; provided that, due to circumstances beyond our control, including, but not limited to, inclement weather, hazardous roads and/or driving conditions, traffic delays, motor vehicle accidents, delays at landfills and equipment failure, we cannot and do not guarantee delivery times or dates. YOUR COMPANY NAME will not be liable to Customer under any circumstances for costs, expenses, losses and/or damages incurred by Customer in any manner relating to such delays. Upon the delivery of the Equipment to the location as designated by Customer, Customer shall not move, transport or attempt to move or transport (either directly or indirectly) the Equipment from the designated site without prior notice to and consent from YOUR COMPANY NAME, which may be withheld within the sole discretion of YOUR COMPANY NAME. In the event that YOUR COMPANY NAME attempts to deliver or pick-up Equipment and is unable to do so for any reason beyond YOUR COMPANY NAME's control, including, but not limited to, overloaded Equipment, low lying power lines or tree branches, blocked access to the delivery or pick-up location, damaged Equipment, locked gates, fences or parking lots, inaccessible driveways and/or the storage of prohibited items or substances in the Equipment (collectively referred to as “dry run”), then YOUR COMPANY NAME shall be entitled to an dry run inconvenience fee. The standard dry run inconvenience fee is $150.00; provided that, if YOUR COMPANY NAME incurs additional charges, fees, fines, penalties costs and/or expenses related to the dry run, then YOUR COMPANY NAME may increase the dry run inconvenience fee in order to recoup any such charges, fees, fines, penalties costs and/or expenses. Customer acknowledges and agrees that YOUR COMPANY NAME is authorized and entitled to charge to Customer’s credit card the amount of any such dry run inconvenience fee. Customer shall be solely responsible for any fees, penalties, fines, assessments, charges, costs and expenses asserted by a third-party (including, without limitation, a towing company) incurred in connection with the movement, placement and/or use of the Equipment. In the event of Customer’s violation and/or breach of the terms of the Rental Agreement (including these Terms and Conditions), Company may, within Company’s sole discretion and without prior notice to Customer and without any liability to Customer, pick-up the Equipment. In addition, Company may pick-up the Equipment at any time if required to do so by local, county and/or state law or as required by order of any local, county and/or state government or agency.

Prices for Equipment rentals are stated on the Website, as modified from time to time within the sole discretion of YOUR COMPANY NAME; provided that applicable prices for each Equipment rental transaction will be confirmed by YOUR COMPANY NAME at the time of Customer’s placement of an order for such Equipment. Except as otherwise mutually agreed in writing between Customer and YOUR COMPANY NAME, Customer will pay YOUR COMPANY NAME monthly throughout the applicable rental term via credit card payment. Customer hereby expressly authorizes YOUR COMPANY NAME to retain your credit card information and charge your credit on a monthly basis for rental fees and all other charges to which YOUR COMPANY NAME is entitled hereunder. Customer acknowledges and agrees that such credit card authorization shall remain valid and in full force and effect during the applicable rental period and for a period of time not to exceed 120 days beyond the last day of your Equipment rental. If, at any time during a rental term, YOUR COMPANY NAME’s authorization to charge your credit card is revoked and/or cancelled by Customer or any third-party, then YOUR COMPANY NAME, within its sole discretion, may immediately terminate the Equipment rental and recover the Equipment without notice or liability to Customer, and without prejudice to or waiver of any of YOUR COMPANY NAME’s remedies against Customer.
5. Cancellation and Cancellation Fees. Any rental order, once placed with and accepted by YOUR COMPANY NAME, may not be cancelled by Customer except upon the consent of YOUR COMPANY NAME, which may be withheld within the sole discretion of YOUR COMPANY NAME.

Customer hereby acknowledges that YOUR COMPANY NAME incurs charges and expenses in connection with the transport of loaded Equipment to landfills, and that such charges and expenses are based upon the weight of the Equipment. If Customer fails to comply with applicable weight restrictions, YOUR COMPANY NAME may incur any pay for charges, expenses, penalties and/or fines from a landfill or other third-party, whether private or public, including, but not limited to traffic fines and penalties or other consequential damages (collectively the “Overload Expenses”). In the event that YOUR COMPANY NAME incurs any Overload Expenses relating to or in connection with Customer’s failure to comply with applicable weight restrictions, then, in addition to all other remedies to which YOUR COMPANY NAME is entitled and in addition to all other amounts, fees, charges and expenses due from Customer to YOUR COMPANY NAME (including Customer’s reimbursement of all such Overload Expenses to YOUR COMPANY NAME), Customer will pay YOUR COMPANY NAME a fee not to exceed the amount of $200.00 per ton in excess of the applicable weight restriction for the Equipment (“Overload Fee”), as determined within the sole discretion of YOUR COMPANY NAME.
