MALFUNCTIONS. Equipment is rigorously tested before being offered for rental. Nevertheless we strongly suggest the Lessee check out the equipment before accepting it. Our program of maintenance and inspection prevents most problems, but it is not possible even with the most meticulous inspection to duplicate all the conditions found in the field, nor is it possible to predict all failures. Lessor must be notified of any and all problems immediately. Failure to do so can result in a full rental charge.
SPARE BULB/INSTRUCTION BOOK POLICY. Equipment rental price includes bulbs. Spare bulbs may be provided on request. There is no charge for the use of spare bulbs providing burned out bulbs are returned. A charge will be made for missing bulbs, broken bulbs or excessive burnouts. Instruction books will be supplied on request. Instruction books not returned will be
billed for.

In the event Lessee is unable to utilize the equipment due to Lessee’s insufficient training or knowledge, or for any other reason, Lessee agrees to hold Lessor harmless from any damage or loss from the failure or inability to use the equipment.
