SIGNATURE OF/FOR CUSTOMER / LESSEE / GUARANTOR:
For good and valuable consideration, you and Moxy Rentals LLC, a Louisiana limited liability company (also referred to herein as, “Lessor,” “Moxy,” “we,” “us” and “our”) agree as follows:
1. As used herein, “P.1” refers to the first page or “face” of this Contract; “Contract” refers to P.1 together with these Terms and Conditions of Rental Contract; “Rented Item(s)” or “Item(s)” means the item(s) provided by Moxy to you, as identified on P.1 (including any “Instructions” and/or safety device(s) provided per Section [or “§”] 7 below); “Site” means the address where the Item(s) will be delivered and/or used, as set forth on P.1; and “Customer,” “Lessee,” “you” and “your” mean the “”Renter,” “Customer” or “Lessee” identified on P.1.
2. You agree to rent the Rented Item(s) from Moxy for the period(s) specified on P.1 (the “Term”), at the end of which, you agree to return such Item(s) to us as required hereunder. If you fail to return any Rented Item(s) at the agreed upon time of termination of the Term, this lease may, at the sole option of Lessor, be considered tacitly reconducted until such a time that the Rented Item(s) are returned. As such, the Rent will be increased for any additional time or use. You agree to pay us our stated rental rate(s) (the “Rent”), together with all other charges accruing hereunder, without proration, reduction or setoff, and remain liable for all loss of, and damage to the Rented Item(s) for the entire Term and until all such Rented Item(s) is/are returned to and accepted by Moxy in the return condition required under this Contract including § 3 (even if the rental is called off before our acceptance of return). Unless otherwise agreed in writing by Moxy, all rental rates are for normal use of the Rented Item(s) on a single-shift basis during the Term, not exceeding 8 hours per 24-hour period for which Rent is charged hereunder (each, a “Rental Day”), 40 hours per 7-Rental Day period, 120 hours per 28- Rental Day period (zero hours for all uncharged-for periods) in accordance with the terms of this Contract. Additional amounts will be charged for late returns and overuse as provided in § 3. You will not be entitled to any cancellation right or reduction of Rent or any other amounts coming due hereunder in order to account for time in transit, Act(s) of God, event(s) of force majeure or any other delays or period(s) of nonuse. We have estimated the Rent based on your estimate of the length of the Term (the “Estimated Rent”). Unless we otherwise agree in writing: (a) you shall pay us: (i) any and all deposit(s) and the Estimated Rent specified on P.1 in advance of the Term (the “Prepayment”); and (ii) all other amounts coming due hereunder upon demand; and (b)(i) we may deduct any amount you owe us from any Prepayment; (ii) no interest will accrue on any Prepayment; (iii) no Prepayment will be deemed a limit of your liability to us; (iv) all Prepayments are NON-REFUNDABLE except as provided in § 8; and (v) anything remaining with, in or on any Item(s) upon return to us will be deemed abandoned.
3. You agree to protect, properly maintain and care for each Rented Item at all times, keep it safely and securely stored and locked when not in use, and return it to us on time, complete, clean, free of contaminants (including without limitation, asbestos, pathogens, beryllium and silica) and in good order, condition and repair, properly serviced and maintained, and if applicable, full of the appropriate fuel, fluid and lubricants. If you fail to do so, then in addition to the other amounts due under this Contract, you will pay us: (a) Rent at our highest incremental rate until all Item(s) has/have been returned or replaced as required; and (b) all costs and expenses we incur in connection with such failure. You will not, nor will you permit anyone else to: (i) abuse, misuse, overuse, remove from the Site, conceal, repair, store, modify or damage any Rented Item(s); (ii) violate any law, policy of insurance or warranty; (iii) expose any Rented Item(s) to any flammable, explosive, harmful or hazardous substance(s) or circumstance(s); (iv) disable, misuse or circumvent any safety equipment or device(s) in, on or with any Rented Item(s); or (v) take possession of or exercise control over any Rented Item(s), without our prior consent (granted, conditioned or withheld in our sole and absolute discretion). Additionally, YOU SHALL NOT PLACE OR STORE IN OR ON ANY RENTED ITEM(S) (including trailers) any contraband, illegal or hazardous substances. Refer to Louisiana Civil Code, Article 2692 for lessee liability for the rental of movables: The lessee is bound to repair damage to the thing caused by his fault or that of persons who, with his consent, are on the premises or use the thing, and to repair any deterioration resulting from his or their use to the extent it exceeds the normal or agreed use of the thing. You are not permitted to alter, modify, or make changes, material or otherwise, to any Item(s) during the Term of this Contract.
