Rental Terms


RENTAL PERIOD: A rental period (a “Rental Period”) begins the day Customer receives the equipment. A Rental Period ends on the day (i) that FDS picks up the equipment from Customer’s location in the relevant FDS office’s designated area or (ii) that the equipment is received at the relevant FDS office. During the Rental Period (including any time that the equipment is in the possession of a carrier for delivery to FDS), Customer is solely responsible for any loss or damage to the equipment and FDS does not provide any insurance coverage with respect thereto. RENTAL TERM: A rental term (a “Rental Term”) begins on the first business day after the day Customer receives the equipment, unless the equipment is shipped first overnight, priority overnight, UPS Next Day Early A.M. or delivered by FDS early in the morning for use that day, in which case the Rental Term begins on that day. A Rental Term ends on (i) the day that Customer delivers the equipment to a carrier for next day delivery to the Company or (ii) the day before FDS picks up the equipment from Customer’s location. RATES: A “daily” rate is the rate charged for the lease of equipment beginning on the first day of the Rental Term and for all consecutive days thereafter. If applicable, a “weekly” rate is the rate charged for the lease of equipment for a consecutive five (5) business day period beginning on the first day of the Rental Term. Where applicable, a “monthly” rate is the rate charged for the lease of equipment for a consecutive twenty (20) business day period beginning on the first day of the Rental Term. PRORATED EQUIPMENT RENTAL RATES: FDS prorates the rental rates for both weekly and monthly rentals. After the first week of an equipment rental, the days of each subsequent week are invoiced at a prorated weekly rate (the weekly rate divided by five). After the first month of an equipment rental, the days of each subsequent month are invoiced at a prorated monthly rate (the monthly rate divided by twenty). In addition, the weekly rate applies to all days in a multiple week rental, until a monthly rate becomes more cost effective for a customer. FIXED FEE RENTAL RATES: FDS charges no additional fees for standard cleaning and recalibration of equipment upon its return. Customer is obligated to deliver the equipment to the Company or the carrier for delivery to FDS free of all contamination. If FDS must decontaminate the equipment upon its return or pay any charges, fees or fines related to the shipment of equipment in a contaminated condition, Customer shall reimburse FDS for all such amounts. CANCELLATION: A cancellation fee (equal to twice the standard daily rate for the equipment to be rented) will be charged for any rental order cancelled less than 24 hours prior to the scheduled shipping time. A separate restocking fee of $50 will be charged for any order of materials being delivered from FDS’s inventory cancelled less than 24 hours prior to the scheduled shipping time. To the extent any manufacturer charges FDS any fees related to the cancellation of any order of its equipment or materials, FDS, in its sole discretion, may require Customer reimburse FDS for any such fees.


Equipment Condition Upon Delivery


Rental equipment will, at the time of delivery to Customer, meet its manufacturer’s operating specifications. Customer will have twenty-four (24) hours after delivery of equipment to confirm the equipment is in proper working condition. If the equipment received is not in proper working condition, FDS will cover all shipping expenses.
In the event that any rental equipment requires repair or re-calibration, Customer will contact the relevant FDS office within twenty-four (24) hours of making that determination. Customer will not allow or permit any person or entity other than FDS to perform repairs on rental equipment. Should rental equipment require re-calibration during the Rental Period, Customer may return the equipment to FDS for re-calibration or Customer may perform its own re-calibration.


Equipment Lost, Stolen, Damaged During Rental Period

  • In the event that rental equipment (including any manuals, cables, and/or accessories) is lost, stolen or damaged (other than as the result of ordinary wear and tear) while in the care and custody of Customer or while being shipped from Customer to FDS, Customer shall pay to FDS (i) the replacement cost (as new) of the lost, stolen or damaged equipment or (ii) the cost to repair the damaged equipment, in FDS’s sole discretion. In addition, Customer shall pay to FDS the applicable rental rate for the period until the Company has the replacement equipment or repaired equipment available for rent to another party.
  • The Company will extend the Rental Period at the standard rental rate to include the period during which equipment is being either replaced or repaired. The decision to repair or replace damaged rental equipment is made in the sole discretion of FDS. At any time during a Rental Period, FDS may, in its sole discretion, request the immediate return of any or all rental equipment from Customer. By doing so, FDS does not waive any of its rights, nor is Customer excused from any of its obligations, under the Agreement.
