- SUBLETTING/LOCATION OF RENTAL ITEMS. Renter agrees not to sublet, loan, or assign the rental items. Renter shall not move the rental items from the address at which Renter represented it was to be used.
- DEFAULT. Should Renter in any way fail to observe or comply with any provision of this Rental Agreement, Rental Center may, at its sole option, terminate this Rental Agreement, retake the rental items, declare any charges due and payable, and initiate legal process to recover monies owed, and/or pursue any other legal rights and remedies available to Rental Center. Exercise of any remedy available to Rental Center shall not constitute an election of remedies or a waiver of any additional remedies to which Rental Center may be entitled.
- PREPARATION OF SITE. Customer agrees to have the site upon which the rental items are to be erected, free and clear of all obstacles, natural and man-made, prior to the arrival of Rental Center’s work crew. Customer further agrees to have all tents cleared for removal prior to Rental Shop’s arrival. All non-rented items and decorations shall be cleared and taken from site. If customer fails to do so, Customer shall pay all costs involved for any delay, additional rental, and all costs, including collection and legal expenses.
- DELIVERY AND PICKUP. Delivery will be made to the closest point our delivery van/ truck can park. Any extra effort such as having to use stairs or elevators, inclines, delivery through narrow passages/ corridors that do not allow our carts/ dollies to easily roll through, any condition which may result in crew members to manually carry the rental items will result in extra delivery fees.
Before the scheduled pickup time, the Renter should clean, fold/ breakdown and stack the rental items in one sheltered area. Failure to do so will result in additional effort by our crew members and therefore Renter will be charged an additional fee for breakdown. - DIRTY, OR DAMAGED ITEMS. Renter agrees to pay for any damage to the rental items regardless of cause, except reasonable wear and tear, while rental items are out of possession of the Rental Shop. Renter also agrees to pay a reasonable cleaning charge for all rental items returned dirty. Accrued rental charges cannot be applied against the purchase or cost of repair or damaged items.
All rental items should be returned dry and free of food, stains, and debris. - LINENS. Linens/ Tablecloths are inspected prior to pick up and upon return. Do not roll up or place wet linens in any bag- will result in mildew. If there are damages such as mildew, excessive stains, wine stains, ink markings, burns or tears, Renter will be charged the cost of the linen.
- TENTS. Renter acknowledges that tents are temporary structures intended to offer limited shelter against weather elements. However, there are circumstances, especially involving continuous or strong rain, wind, lightning, wherein tents might not provide adequate protection and could sustain damage or be displaced. To prevent potential injuries, evacuate tents if severe weather conditions threaten the area where they are set up. Individuals must vacate the tents and refrain from seeking shelter inside them during such conditions. Since determining the severity of weather conditions might be challenging, erring on the side of caution is recommended. In simpler terms, when uncertain, prioritize evacuation.
Renter agrees to not do any type of cooking under or within a reasonable distance of the tent. Renter assumes full responsibility and costs incurred for damage and or cleaning expense to tent tops due to cooking processes under or near tents.
Additional heaters beyond those provided by us are not permitted to be placed beneath or close to the tent.
Our tents can be staked on grass, weighted or a mixture of both. Our tent stakes go into the ground 30-45 inches deep. Therefore, we require a line locate and for you to let us know if there are any underground sprinklers or anything at all underground where we will be installing the stakes. If you are on another type of surface (concrete, gravel or anything other than grass), we will require the use of weights to weigh the tent down. To add weights like water barrels will be an additional cost. Please let us know if you require the tent to be weighted vs stake.
All floral arrangements, trash, and decorations of any kind should be removed from tent before scheduled pickup time. Renter assumes responsibility for all damages caused by decorations. Please be aware that some decorations can cause a permanent station on the tent, linen, and other rental items. Please ask if you are unsure to avoid the cost of damages. Decorations must not affect the structural integrity of the tent. - LEGAL FEES. In the event that an attorney is retained to enforce any provision (including collection costs) of this Rental Agreement, the prevailing party in the dispute shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorney’s fees and court costs in such action or proceeding, in an amount to be determined by the court.
- NOTICE OF NON-WAIVER/SEVERABILITY. Any failure of Rental Shop to insist upon strict performance by Customer as regards any provision of this Rental Agreement shall be interpreted as a waiver of Rental Shop’s right to demand strict compliance with all other provisions of this Rental Agreement against Customer or any other person. The provisions of this Rental Agreement shall be severable so that the enforceability, invalidity, or waiver of any provision shall not affect any other provision.
- INSURANCE. Customer shall maintain in full force and effect, during the term of this Agreement, separate General Liability and Automobile Liability insurance policies with coverage limits for bodily injury, including death, personal injury, and/or property damage that will respond as primary coverage for the Customer’s liability and all obligations outlined under this Agreement. In addition to the foregoing, Customer shall maintain property insurance in an amount adequate to cover any loss and/or damage to the rental items, up to full replacement cost. Customer shall furnish Rental Shop (upon request) with a Certificate of Insurance evidencing the foregoing insurance requirements and naming Rental Shop as additional insured.
- DAMAGE WAIVER. If accepted by the Renter, the Renter Shop agrees, for consideration of an additional charge of 12% of the gross rental charges, to modify the responsibilities of Renter created in paragraph 13 (DIRTY, OR DAMAGED ITEMS). In exchange of the damage waiver, provided that the Renter takes reasonable precautions to protect the rental items, the Rental Shop assumes risk of damage to the rental items, EXCEPT the following for which Renter shall be responsible: –
[a] loss, damage, vandalism, malicious mischief, and theft
[b] loss, damage, or theft of accessory items such as sandbags, extension cords, rachets, etc
[c] loss due to Renter’s negligence

Damaged waiver protection is null and void unless Renter provides broken/ damaged items for inspection by the Rental Shop. Renter understands that damage waiver is NOT an insurance. - LATE FEES.
