Rental Period: Commensurate with the rental of the items delivered or shipped ("Equipment") to the Customer, Aperturent.com shall deliver to the Customer a receipt bearing a description of the Equipment, the Customer name, the number of days rental, the date of the order and an order number (hereinafter referred to as the "Order Invoice"). The term of Rental Period shall be for the number of days indicated on the Order Invoice. The initial day of the Rental Period shall be the day the Equipment is picked up from Aperturent.com or the day the first attempt is made by the parcel carrier to deliver the Equipment to the Customer. The last day of the Rental Period shall be the calendar day derived by adding the number of days rental (as indicated on the Order Invoice) to the date of the Order Invoice. To avoid late charges the Equipment must be returned to or shipped back to Aperturent.com on or before the last day of the Rental Period. In the event the last day of the Rental Period, as derived herein, is a Sunday or a holiday recognized by the United States Postal Service ("Holiday"), the last day of the Rental Period shall be the business day following such Sunday or Holiday. All Equipment being returned to Aperturent.com must be delivered during office operating hours; returns of Equipment outside of Aperturent.com office operating hours will not be accepted and, depending on the date of the subsequent return during Aperturent.com office operating hours, may incur late fees in accordance with Section 6 "Late Returns." The Customer hereby consents and agrees that any and all damaged or lost Equipment resulting from returns attempted outside of Aperturent.com office operating hours will be the sole responsibility of the Customer.
Rental Fees: "Rental Fees" are the charges for renting the Equipment, shipping costs and security deposits, if applicable. All Rental Fees must be paid in full and in advance before the Equipment will be released or shipped.
Shipping: Both outgoing and return shipping to Aperturent.com will be charged to the Customer at the time of the initial transaction. Equipment will be shipped via insured FedEx with signature required upon receipt, unless both parties have agreed to other shipping methods prior to the transaction. Aperturent.com reserves the right to select alternate shipping arrangements (including alternate carriers, services and transit times) if necessary to complete delivery. Additional shipping charges may apply for package rerouting or upgrades to shipping selected by the Customer.

Aperturent.com ships Equipment only during Aperturent.com office operating hours and does not ship on Holidays as recognized by the United States Postal Service. Aperturent.com makes no guarantee relating to the transit time or delivery date of rented Equipment, and any transit time or delivery date provided by Aperturent.com is provided only as an estimate and as a courtesy to the Customer. The Customer consents and agrees that Aperturent.com is not liable for any loss or damage incurred by the Customer as a result of unavailability of Equipment, delay in shipping, transit time, or delivery.

The Customer is responsible for delivering the packaged Equipment to a staffed FedEx shipping facility, or other shipping carrier that has been agreed to by Aperturent.com, for return to Aperturent.com. The Customer further agrees to obtain a receipt for the return shipping transaction, which Customer agrees to retain, and make available to Aperturent.com if requested, until Aperturent.com has confirmed receipt of the Equipment and the completion of the order. The Customer consents and agrees that any delay, loss, or damage resulting from shipments or attempted shipments involving a drop-box, unstaffed facility, non-FedEx, or otherwise agreed to by Aperturent.com, third party shipping carrier, mailroom facility or the United States Postal Service facility, is the sole responsibility of the Customer.
Cancellations: Aperturent.com reserves the right to cancel any order, for any reason, at any time before delivery occurs. Customer may cancel an order at any time, for any reason prior to such time as Aperturent.com delivers the Equipment to the Customer or the shipper.
Late Returns: If any Equipment rented under this Rental and Use Agreement is returned after the due date, the Customer agrees to pay a late fee. The minimum late fee will be equal to the three (3) day rental rate for each piece of Equipment not returned within the Rental Period. The Customer authorizes and agrees that this late fee will be charged to the same credit card used for payment of the Rental Fee. In the event the Equipment is not returned within three (3) days following the last day of the Rental Period, the Customer hereby authorizes, consents to, and agrees that the total replacement cost of the Equipment will be charged to the same credit card used for payment of the Rental Fee.
Maintenance of Equipment: The Customer consents and agrees to maintain the Equipment in good repair, condition and working order and shall furnish any and all parts, mechanisms, accessories and devices required to keep the Equipment in good repair, condition and working order during the Rental Period, including but not limited to cleaning supplies and cases.

Aperturent.com strongly encourages Customers to obtain insurance covering the Equipment for the duration of the Rental Period.

3. In the event that the Customer alleges that the Equipment failed, was defective, or otherwise did not function properly, and denies or disputes that the Equipment was damaged while in Customer’s possession, the determination of the factory service center, as selected by Aperturent.com, will be considered binding concerning Equipment failure or damage, including the causation of same.

6. The Customer hereby consents that upon notifying Aperturent.com that the Equipment has been lost or damaged, or upon Aperturent.com’s determination that the Equipment has been lost or damaged while in the Customer’s possession, Aperturent.com will determine the total replacement cost or repair cost of the lost or damaged Equipment and notify the Customer of the amount owed. Upon receiving notice of the total replacement cost or repair cost of the lost or damaged Equipment, the Customer hereby consents to make payment for the total replacement cost or repair cost of the lost or damaged Equipment within three (3) calendar days.
