Conditions of use, damage to equipment

Rental policy

Six & Deux Shop, Prod. Six et Deux Inc. makes no representations or warranties as to whether the recording item(s) (rental items) may be filmed, photographed, videotaped or otherwise used without the consent of a third party. It is the lessee’s responsibility to obtain and/or pay for any required authorizations, permissions or consents.

Similarly, this lease shall automatically terminate and Lessor may repossess the Equipment if any of the following occur to Lessee: bankruptcy, voluntary assignment, proposal, appointment of a receiver, insolvency, or any other similar circumstances.
The lessee declares that he has carefully examined the rented equipment and found it to be in perfect order and good working order and knows the mode of operation and all the measures necessary to use it for its intended purpose in a safe manner for himself, his employees or any third party. It is the responsibility of the lessee to ensure that the equipment is used for its intended purpose and by persons who are competent to do so. Lessee agrees to follow all instructions received from Lessor’s representative.
At any time, the Lessor may require the Lessee to demonstrate that the persons operating the Equipment have the training and expertise to do so. If any licenses, permits or authorizations are required, they shall be obtained by the lessee at its own expense.
It is understood that Lessor makes no representations or warranties, express or implied, that the Equipment leased is the Equipment required for the purposes, even if described by Lessee, as Lessor is not an experienced contractor, nor is it familiar with the actual conditions of use or the locations where the Equipment will be used.
All operating and maintenance costs of the equipment are the responsibility of the renter during the rental period. (Example: consumables, batteries, etc.)
It is the lessee’s responsibility to know and follow all applicable standards or codes relating to the use or transportation of the equipment.
The lessee agrees to return the equipment to the lessor in the same condition as when it was taken possession of, except for normal wear and tear. Except for normal wear and tear, the lessee is therefore responsible for loss, damage or breakage of the equipment. If the loss or breakage of the leased equipment is caused by a defect therein duly established scientifically, conclusively and totally independent of the actions of the lessee, then and only in such cases, the lessee shall not be liable for damage to or loss of the leased equipment but shall remain liable for the rental charges as provided in this Agreement.
The hirer shall be liable, even if caused by third parties, for any damage related to or caused by excess or deficiency of electrical load, force or heat, lack of oil, lubricant or fuel, freezing, exposure to the weather, or transportation of the equipment; by failure to securely anchor or fasten the equipment to prevent it from falling or moving, by exceeding the capacity of the equipment, by misuse or willful misconduct, by alteration of the equipment and generally by use contrary to the purpose for which the equipment is intended, by theft of the equipment and by vandalism while it is under the responsibility of the Lessee.
No claim for unsatisfactory performance or defect of the leased equipment will be accepted unless the lessee has first notified the lessor in writing (E-MAIL) so that the lessor can promptly ascertain whether a defect exists. If this is the case, then the lessor will have 24 hours to replace the rented equipment without incurring any liability whatsoever.
Lessee agrees to be aware at all times of the location of the Equipment or where it is to be moved and to provide such information to Lessor when moving or when requested by Lessor.
Upon return of the equipment, the lessor agrees to inspect the equipment diligently and the lessor’s representative will prepare a list of any breakage and repairs required. This list will be communicated to the tenant upon request. The renter will be charged for any repairs (parts and labor) required.
In the event of theft of the Equipment, the Lessee shall pay the replacement value of the Equipment, which shall be the cost to the Lessor of acquiring another of comparable kind and quality, without regard to any depreciation. If only new equipment is available, the replacement value will be the cost of that new equipment.

Duration of rental
The lease begins when the Equipment leaves the Lessor’s place of business and ends when the Lessor has repossessed the leased Equipment. Unless otherwise stipulated, the lessee assumes all responsibility for the transportation of the equipment and assumes the transportation costs both on delivery and return. The rental ends when the equipment is returned to the lessor’s property. Only if Lessor has agreed to provide transportation upon return of the Equipment, shall the rental terminate at the time Lessor is notified in writing of the time and place where Lessor may repossess the Equipment or if, by telephone or email, Lessee obtains a return code from Lessor’s dispatcher. However, even if the lessee has obtained a return code, if in fact it is impossible for the lessor to take possession of the rented equipment for any reason whatsoever (strike, seizure, forbidden or impassable access) then the rental will only end when this impediment has ended.
Unless otherwise stated, all equipment is rented for a minimum of one day. For the purposes of this agreement and billing, the rental periods are as follows:- one day means twenty-four (24) hours with a maximum operating time of 8 hours. One week means seven (7) consecutive days with a maximum operating time of 40 hours and one month means twenty-eight (28) consecutive days with a maximum operating time of 160 hours.
