The renter assumes full responsibility for all outdoor equipment and accessories that are rented. The renter will maintain and return all equipment in the clean, dry, and working condition in which they received the items. The renter is responsible for any late, damaged, cleaning, or replacement fees that may be assessed upon return of the rented equipment. Daily Equipment is returned on either the same or next day of rental. Weekend Equipment is picked-up on Friday and returned on Monday. Weekly Equipment may be rented out a maximum of seven days, including pick-up and return days. Pick-up Equipment can only be picked-up on the day the rental period begins. Returned Equipment must be returned one hour prior to the close of the UAC on the last day of the rental period.
