DEPOSITS. To help protect us against loss, damages or theft of the gear, we require a deposit approximating the retail value of the gear.

Any charges or reimbursement costs due us beyond the deposit amount will also be charged to your credit card. DESIGNATED PURCHASE PRICE. We do not offer new product for sale on a retail basis as part of our primary business, except for accessories and incidental consumables. If you wish to buy an item you have rented, or become responsible for its replacement cost due to loss or damage, the Designated Purchase Price for such item shall be equal to the deposit amount associated with that item. If purchased, any rental fees due under the current transaction will be waived, but shipping and taxes will be charged in addition to the deposit amount. CLEANING. We will clean and disinfect all gear before delivery to you. You must return the gear to us free of mud and heavy dirt. The gear must be dry before shipping to us to avoid mildew or mold, the presence of which upon return to us will result in charges against your deposit for repair or replacement. DAMAGES.
