EXHIBIT A
OPTIONAL DAMAGE WAIVER
A twelve percent (12%) damage waiver may be included on all Purchase Orders. It is a one-time charge per each Purchase order to cover the Renter against any accidental damage and avoid extra charges.
The Optional Damage Waiver covers rental items that are worn or damaged through normal use. Renters are generally responsible for all costs and expenses arising relating to any loss, theft, damage to or destruction of rented item(s) regardless of whether the Renter was at fault. Any items that are lost or not returned will incur a replacement charge of the total cost of the item and shall not be covered by this Optional Damage Waiver. The Optional Damage Waiver is enforced for the same duration as the rental period under the applicable Purchase Order.
This Optional Damage Waiver is not insurance and is not a warranty. The Optional Damage Waiver shall not replace the Renter’s obligation to obtain insurance pursuant to the terms of the Event Rental Terms and Conditions. The Optional Damage Waiver is optional, and the Renter has the right to decline the Damage Waiver but will be held liable for damages that occur (for further details, please see “Liability” on the Event Rental Terms and Conditions)
Examples of items covered under this Optional Damage Waiver: Broken glasses, chipped plates, minor damage to furniture fabric, paint chips, minor dents or divots to metal pieces, food and drink stains.
Examples of items not covered under this Optional Damage Waiver: Any item not returned (including crates and racks), excessive amounts of breakage (negligence), water damage (including items left out in the rain or sprinklers), stains due to using colored material or crepe paper in contact with the rental Property. Items broken or damaged by vandalism (deliberate destruction), negligence, exposure to hazardous materials or extreme weather conditions.
The Optional Damage Waiver fee will only be returned to the Renter provided the Renter upon cancellation of no less than seven (7) days written notice prior to the scheduled pickup or delivery date.
