1. AGREEMENT

This Rental Agreement is entered into between the Owner and the Renter through the BookR Platform.

BookR is not a party to this Rental Agreement and does not own, possess, or control the Item. BookR acts as the Owner's limited payment-collection agent, as described in Terms of Service §2.3A: BookR collects the Rental Price and any amount approved under Section 6 on the Owner's behalf, and a Renter's payment to BookR satisfies the Renter's obligation to pay the Owner that amount.

2. ITEM CONDITION AND HANDOFF RECORD

At pickup, the Owner and the Renter will each photograph the Item through the Platform and confirm that the photos show its condition. The Renter should not take the Item if it appears damaged, unsafe, or incomplete, and should report any concern in the Booking's message thread before leaving.

At return, the Owner will photograph the Item through the Platform and confirm the return. The Renter may do the same, and is encouraged to. The Owner's return confirmation, or an earlier return photo uploaded through the Platform by either party, records the time of return for Sections 6 and 8.

The Renter receives the Item in the condition shown in the pickup photos. Any condition not shown in the pickup photos is not presumed to have existed at pickup unless other evidence shows that it did.

3. PERMITTED USE

The Renter shall use the Item:

(a) lawfully; (b) safely; (c) in accordance with manufacturer instructions; (d) in accordance with any instructions provided by the Owner; and (e) in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

4. PROHIBITED USE

The Renter shall not:

(a) intentionally damage the Item; (b) use the Item for unlawful purposes; (c) operate the Item while impaired; (d) modify the Item; (e) transfer possession to unauthorized persons; or (f) otherwise misuse the Item.

5. RESPONSIBILITY FOR DAMAGE, LOSS, AND THEFT

The Renter assumes responsibility for damage, loss, theft, destruction, misuse, and wrongful retention occurring during the Rental Period, excluding ordinary wear and tear.

Ordinary wear and tear means cosmetic or functional change consistent with normal use of the Item for its intended purpose during the Rental Period — for example, minor surface scuffing, fading, or soiling that does not impair the Item's function, safety, or value. It does not include damage caused by misuse, neglect, an accident, or any Prohibited Use under Section 4.

The Renter shall be financially responsible for repair or replacement costs arising from damage, loss, theft, destruction, misuse, or wrongful retention that is not ordinary wear and tear.

Amount. Where the Item can be repaired, the amount is the reasonable cost of repair, documented by a quote or invoice from someone able to perform it. Where it cannot be repaired, or is lost or not returned, the amount is the Item's used value at the time of pickup (not the cost of a new item), less any salvage value the Owner keeps. Any amount the Renter can be charged through BookR is limited as described in Section 6.

6. POST-RENTAL CHARGES

6.1 Post-Rental Charge Limit. A Listing may show a Post-Rental Charge Limit. The Limit, the late-return rate, and the cleaning fee shown when the Booking is made are fixed for that Booking and printed on this Agreement's record. If no Post-Rental Charge Limit was shown for the Booking, BookR will not charge the Renter any amount after the rental under this Section. No deposit is collected, and no amount is held, at any time. Except for theft, failure to return the Item, or damage caused intentionally, recklessly, or by conduct prohibited by Section 4(a) through (e), the Renter's total liability to the Owner for damage to or loss of the Item is limited to the Post-Rental Charge Limit shown for the Booking or, if none was shown, to the Item's used value at pickup. These exceptions do not increase BookR's authority to charge the Renter's payment method above the Post-Rental Charge Limit.

6.2 What may be charged. Subject to Sections 6.3 to 6.6, the Renter authorizes BookR, as the Owner's payment-collection agent, to charge the payment method the Renter used for the Booking, in a total amount no greater than the Post-Rental Charge Limit, for:

(a) damage, loss, or theft of the Item under Section 5, valued as stated there; (b) late return under Section 8: the Booking's daily rental rate for each started 24-hour period after the agreed return time (with 30 minutes' grace), for at most three (3) days; and (c) excess cleaning: a flat $25.00, only where the return photos show soiling beyond normal use for the Item's purpose.

No other amount may be charged under this Section. In particular, no administrative fee, collection cost, or dispute-handling cost may be charged.

6.3 Claim deadline and evidence. The Owner must submit a claim through the Platform within 72 hours after the Item's return, as recorded under Section 2. For an Item not returned, the deadline is 72 hours after the third day past the agreed return time. A claim can lead to a charge only if the Owner photographed and confirmed the Item at pickup, the Renter confirmed its condition at pickup, and (except for an Item not returned) the Owner photographed and confirmed the return. For an Item not returned, the date three (3) days after the agreed return time is treated as the return date for the deadlines in Sections 6.4 and 6.6.

6.4 BookR's review and notice. BookR reviews the evidence and decides, independently of the amount the Owner requests, whether any amount is supported and how much. Within 10 business days after the return, BookR will send the Renter an itemized notice. The notice states each item, the amount BookR proposes, BookR's reasons, the evidence, and the dates below. Paying by card is optional. The Renter may ask to pay another way.

6.5 Renter's response and final decision. The Renter has 10 business days after the notice to accept, dispute, or submit the Renter's own written estimate and evidence. BookR then makes a final written decision. The final amount may not exceed the amount in the notice.

6.6 Timing and receipt. BookR will not charge the Renter's payment method earlier than 20 business days after the notice, or later than 90 days after the return. After any charge, BookR sends an itemized receipt. BookR may correct or refund a charge if it determines the charge was wrong.

6.7 Not insurance; no guarantee. This Section allows BookR to attempt to collect, on the Owner's behalf, an amount BookR has reviewed. It is not insurance and not a guarantee. BookR has no obligation to pay the Owner any amount it does not collect. It does not limit any right the Owner may have against the Renter outside the Platform, except as stated in Section 6.1.

This authorization survives the end of the Rental Period.

7. RETURN REQUIREMENTS

The Item shall be returned:

(a) on or before the agreed return time; (b) with all accessories and components; (c) in substantially the same condition as received, excluding ordinary wear and tear.

8. LATE RETURNS

If the Renter does not return the Item by the agreed return time:

(a) BookR may charge the late-return charge described in Section 6.2(b), within the Post-Rental Charge Limit; and (b) BookR may restrict or suspend the Renter's Account.

An Item not returned within three (3) days after the agreed return time becomes eligible for a non-return claim under Sections 5 and 6, after BookR reviews the Booking's messages and any return attempts. Lateness alone does not establish theft. An Owner who believes the Item has been stolen may report it to the police. If the Item is returned after BookR has charged for its loss, BookR will re-evaluate the claim, refund any amount above the supported damage and late-return charges, and reverse the corresponding payment to the Owner where possible.

9. CLAIMS AND DISPUTES

Claims for damage, loss, theft, late return, or cleaning are handled under Section 6 and the claims process described in Terms of Service §2.13. Disputes between the Owner and the Renter that BookR does not resolve are governed by the Terms of Service.

10. NO OWNERSHIP TRANSFER

The Renter acquires only a temporary right of possession and use.

Ownership of the Item remains with the Owner at all times.

11. INCORPORATION OF PLATFORM POLICIES

This Rental Agreement incorporates by reference:

(a) BookR Terms of Service; (b) Privacy Policy; (c) Cancellation and Refund Policy; and (d) any other policies published by BookR and applicable to the Transaction.

12. ELECTRONIC ACCEPTANCE

By completing a Booking through the Platform, the Owner and Renter acknowledge and agree that this Rental Agreement is legally binding and may be executed electronically.
