Equipment Rental Agreement
By entering into the Rental Agreement, you (the “Renter”) agree to rent the equipment as specified in the invoice (the “Equipment”) issued by Cool Hand Movers, LLC (the “Owner”) to the Renter (the “Invoice”) according to these terms and conditions:
Rental Period:
The term of this Rental Agreement begins from the date and time the Equipment is delivered to the Renter to the date and time the Equipment is picked up by the Owner (the “Rental Term”). The pickup and delivery locations will be set forth in the Invoice unless both the Owner and the Renter agree otherwise.
Warranty:
The Owner warrants to Renter that the Equipment when delivered to Renter is in good operating condition and free of damages, including dents, marks, and holes, but excluding minor scratches. Defects or discrepancies in Equipment must be reported to the Owner within 24 hours after Renter receives the Equipment. If the Renter fails to inform the Owner in such time, the Equipment shall be deemed to be received by Renter in good condition and Owner shall not be responsible for any damages to the Equipment during the Rental Term. If any Equipment is determined to be defective, the Owner’s sole liability and the customers’ sole and exclusive remedy shall be for the Owner to replace any such defective Equipment with non-defective Equipment, at no additional cost to the Renter, as soon as practicable. The Owner makes no warranty expressed or implied that the Equipment is fit for any particular purpose.

In no event will Owner be responsible for lost profits, or any special, incidental or consequential damages in connection with this Rental Agreement. The maximum liability of the Owner, its owners, directors, officers, employees and agents to Renter or any third party in any circumstance is limited to the amount of fees the Renter paid Owner in connection with this Agreement.
