Rental terms
The short version: take care of it, bring it back on time, and tell us if something breaks.
Booking and paying
- You pay the full rental when you book. Online bookings need at least 3 days' notice.
- You have to be 18 or older and show a photo ID at pickup.
Deposit hold
- At pickup we put a hold on the card you paid with, equal to the replacement value of what you're taking, up to $1,500.
- Nothing is charged unless something comes back damaged or doesn't come back. The hold is released once the gear is back and checked.
- The hold is a deposit, not a limit. If the damage or loss costs more than the hold, we charge the rest to the same card.
Pickup and return
- We test everything with you at pickup. Check it over before you leave.
- Bring it back on your return day during pickup hours. Each late day is charged at the day rate.
- Coil the cables. Bring back every piece you took.
Damage and loss
- You're responsible for the gear from pickup until it's back with us, including theft, rain, drops and blown drivers.
- Damaged gear is charged at the repair cost. Lost or stolen gear is charged at the replacement value.
- We don't rent for outdoor events when rain is in the forecast. Keep the gear dry. Everything is checked for water damage when it comes back, and water damage is charged at repair or replacement cost.
- If something fails on its own during your rental, tell us that day and we'll refund that item.
Safety
- You're responsible for safe setup: stable stands, secured cables, proper power, and rigging done by someone who knows how.
- Don't point the laser at people's eyes or at aircraft.
- Check that your venue allows fog before you run it. Fog can set off smoke alarms.
- No subletting the gear to someone else.
Cancelling
- 7 or more days before pickup: full refund.
- Less than 7 days before pickup: half back.
- Reply to your confirmation email to cancel or change a booking.
