5. Rental Terms.
5.1. It is the intent of Quiptu that equipment is rented locally. Quiptu will not arrange nor be responsible for transportation of any rented equipment. Renter and Owner are solely responsible for arranging delivery and transportation of equipment to the other party. Owners may provide an option to deliver equipment for an additional fee when offering the equipment and may set a territorial range in which it is willing to deliver such equipment.
5.2. A reservation is considered confirmed when a Renter requests a reservation (at which time, Renter will be presented with a summary of charges related to the reservation request) and such reservation is accepted and confirmed by the Owner. Renter agrees to pay the charges related to the reservation request for any reservation accepted by an Owner, except as otherwise set forth herein.
5.3. For confirmed reservations made more than 10 days in advance of the reservation time, Renter may cancel the reservation within 48 hours of the reservation being confirmed without being assessed a penalty, provided that such cancellation is more than 10 days prior to the start of the reservation.
5.4. Renter may cancel a confirmed reservation within 48 hours of a reservation being confirmed, and provided that such cancellation is prior to 72 hours before the reservation time, Renter will be required to pay the Service Fee related to the reservation but will not be charged any other penalty.
5.5. If Renter cancels a reservation more than 72 hours prior to the start of the reservation, and such cancellation takes place more than 48 hours after the reservation is confirmed, Renter will be required to pay the Service Fee and Maintenance Fee related to the reservation; and (b) Renter may cancel a reservation less than 72 hours prior to the start of the reservation, regardless of when booked, and Renter must pay 50% of the Equipment Reservation Cost, plus the Service Fee and Maintenance Fee related to the reservation.
5.6. Owners may cancel reservations at any time without a penalty, except that if an Owner cancels a reservation within 72 hours prior to the reservation, the Owner will be subject to an automatic review posted on the Owner’s public profile that the Owner canceled such reservation less than 72 hours prior to the scheduled reservation.
5.7. Owners acknowledge that pursuant to Section 5.3 and 5.4 above, Quiptu will retain 100% of the Service Fee. Owners will be entitled to any Maintenance Fee and percentage of Reservation Fee assessed to the Renter.
5.8. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Renters may request a reschedule of equipment rental at least 24 hours prior to the reservation time if severe weather is expected and will not be assessed reschedule fee, and in the event of any dispute between a Renter and Owner regarding severe weather, Quiptu will have the final right to determine whether this provision is applicable. For clarity, the foregoing applies only to a reschedule; a cancellation by Renter less than 72 hours in advance will remain subject to the charges described above. If Renter is unable to reschedule its rental of the same equipment within 30 days, Renter may cancel the reservation without being assessed a fee.
5.9. When a Renter receives equipment, Renter shall, within 4 hours of receipt , upload to its Account if such option is available, or otherwise inform Quiptu, of any unexpected damages to the equipment existing as of the time of receipt, or any aspects of the equipment which were misrepresented by the Owner. If a Renter proceeds to use such equipment without so notifying Quiptu, Renter waives its right to make any claim regarding any fees and charges associated with renting such equipment due to such damage or misrepresentation by Owner and may be responsible for paying for any damage to equipment not reported at the time of receipt.
6. Damage to Equipment During Rental Period.

6.4. The following provisions apply to equipment which is damaged by a Renter:
A. At the time of placing a rental order, Renters have the option of selecting full maintenance coverage when renting equipment. This is not and should not be construed to be insurance but is offered as a courtesy by Quiptu. If Renter has selected such option, and damage to the equipment occurs other than due to willful misconduct by Renter, Quiptu will reimburse Owner for either (i) the full fair market value + 10% of the equipment if the equipment is unusable; or (ii) an amount equal to the difference of the fair market value of the equipment before the rental, and after the damage occurring to the equipment. If Renter has selected such option, Renter will not be responsible for any reimbursement to either Quiptu or the Owner.
B. If Renter does not select the full maintenance coverage when renting equipment, Renter will be responsible for reimbursing Owner for either (i) 50% of the full fair market value + 10% of the equipment if the equipment is unusable; or (ii) 50% of an amount equal to the difference of the fair market value of the equipment before the rental, and after the damage occurring to the equipment. Quiptu will charge the payment method provided by Renter, during equipment rental, in order to facilitate the payment of Renter’s portion of the equipment reimbursement. Quiptu will reimburse the Owner the remaining balance to sum the total fair market value + 10% of the equipment.
C. If damage to equipment occurs due to Renter’s willful misconduct, or if Renter fails to return equipment to Owner at the specified time and date, Renter will be fully responsible for reimbursing Owner for either (i) the full fair market value of the equipment +10% if the equipment is unusable or unreturned; or (ii) an amount equal to the difference of the fair market value of the equipment before the rental, and after the damage occurring to the equipment. Quiptu will charge the payment method provided by Renter, during equipment rental, in order to facilitate the payment of Renter’s portion of the equipment reimbursement.
D. In Quiptu’s discretion, Quiptu may reimburse an Owner at an amount above fair market value in certain circumstances but doing so in one instance will not obligate Quiptu to do so in any other instance.
6.5. Quiptu, in its sole discretion, may terminate a Renter’s account if Quiptu determines that such Renter is negligent in its use of equipment or uses rented equipment inappropriately, or if a Renter damages equipment on multiple occasions.
