Lessee shall have the option of making arrangements with Lessor to have their crew member(s) verify the Equipment physically returned to Lessor at a time that is mutually agreeable within the first day of return. Lessee assumes all risk of loss whether or not covered by Lessee’s insurance coverage, except to the extent of any loss arising from the negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor, its employees, agents, or contractors. Lessee is deemed to have taken possession of the Equipment the moment Equipment is in Lessee’s custody and control. In addition, if Lessor ships the Equipment at Lessee’s request, Lessee shall be responsible for both the risk of loss in transit and the transportation costs. Lessee’s responsibility shall include, but not be limited to, risks while in transit by any means (other than transit supplied by Lessor), at all locations named and unnamed, at all studios, while on Lessee’s premises, and while in Lessee’s use. Lessee is responsible for picking up and returning the Equipment to/from the rental facility during normal business hours. If Lessor delivers and/or picks up the Equipment, Lessor will be responsible for the risk of loss in transit while the Equipment is in the custody of Lessor and Lessee will be responsible for transportation costs.
In the event of damage of any kind whatever to the Equipment, Lessor may:

(2) repair the Equipment using a vendor at Lessor’s sole discretion.
In the event the Equipment is damaged beyond repair or is lost, Lessor may:
(3) charge Lessee the full replacement value without deduction for depreciation of the lost or damaged Equipment. In addition to repair or replacement fees, Lessor may charge Lessee’s credit card for a “Loss of Use Fee” in the event Lessee did not purchase a damage waiver at the time of the initial rental order. “Loss of Use Fee” is equal to the daily rental fees Lessor would have been entitled to receive for the Equipment had it not been damaged or lost. In the event the RFID tags / serial number bar code sticker / P&Z branding stickers become lost or stolen during the Rental Period, Lessee will pay an additional tag replacement fee of Rs 100 per tag/sticker per item of Equipment. In the event the Equipment becomes damaged beyond repair, Lessee shall pay Lessor the full replacement value of the Equipment without deduction for depreciation. Lessee must ensure that the Equipment, when returned to Lessor, is clean. Should the returned Equipment be deemed dirty in Lessor’s sole judgment, Lessor reserves the right to charge Lessee a “Cleaning Fee”.

19. NON-WORKING EQUIPMENT
Lessee shall notify Lessor within 3 hours of receipt of Equipment of any malfunction and/or alleged damage to such Equipment. In the event Equipment is not functioning and/or damaged other than as a result of Lessee’s negligence or willful acts, Lessee must not attempt to repair or modify the equipment himself/herself. Lessee must return such non-working Equipment to Lessor and Lessor will either replace the non-working Equipment with a functioning equivalent (“Replacement Equipment”) or issue Lessee a credit or full refund of all rental charges paid by Lessee at Lessee’s option. The rental charges for all such non-working Equipment so returned will commence upon Lessee’s receipt of the replacement Equipment. Once Lessor receives notification of suspected damage of Equipment in transit, Lessor shall send such damaged Equipment to the manufacturer for inspection and repair. Lessee and Lessor hereby agree to be bound by the damage report provided by such manufacturer as to the cause and liability of such damage.

Lessee shall be responsible for proper packaging of the returned Equipment using shipping and packaging materials provided by Lessor in the order shipment. Lessor’s acceptance of the Equipment upon return by Lessee shall not represent Lessor’s determination as to the condition of the returned Equipment. Lessor reserves the right to inspect the Equipment within a reasonable time after the return of the Equipment and make a determination as to whether such returned Equipment was damaged during the Rental Period.

21. EARLY SURRENDER
If Lessee surrenders the Equipment with at least 7 days remaining in the Rental Period, Lessor will issue Lessee an “Early Return Credit” for the remaining unused time.
