Customer agrees with, and agrees to be bound by, this Agreement. Furthermore, Customer agrees that all information Customer provides CCKC is accurate, correct, and up to date.
EQUIPMENT RENTAL
CCKC’s acceptance of any and all order(s) from Customer is expressly based on Customer’s unqualified acceptance of this Agreement. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Equipment” means the crate containers, dollies, and other equipment, as well as all accessories and additions thereto, as well as all replacements and renewals thereof, which CCKC has agreed to rent to the Customer.
1. Payment Terms
To complete an rental order of certain Equipment, payment will be made on CheetahCrateKC.com (“our Website”) during the checkout process of such rental order. Initial payment shall be made for the rental period agreed upon during checkout. Customer shall pay all applicable sales/rental taxes on Equipment at that time. The rental period ends on the date the Customer selected to have the Equipment picked up. Customer acknowledges the Customer’s credit or debit card will be kept on file until the Equipment has been successfully picked up and for a period of at least one (1) week thereafter. Customer authorizes CCKC to charge such card for any amounts permitted or authorized by this Agreement. If CCKC incurs a fee due to insufficient funds on the Customer’s payment method, Customer may be subject to a fee of no less than $30.00.
2. Credit Card Authorization
The Customer agrees that Customer’s credit card will be kept on file for the duration of the rental agreement and at least one (1) week thereafter. Customer acknowledges and authorizes CCKC to charge any amounts permitted or authorized by this Agreement.
3. Delivery and Pick-Up
Customer acknowledges that Customer has sole responsibility to acknowledge and be present for delivery and pick-up of the Equipment. If the Customer is not present for the delivery and pick-up of the Equipment and has not previously given at least 24 hours’ notice to reschedule the same, Customer may be subject to a fee of $30.00.
Important – For delivery and pick-up to/from apartments, CCKC will only deliver and pick up at a ground-floor entrance, lobby, or curbside location, and will only deliver and pick up in a hallway adjoining the entrance to the apartment. For all deliveries and pick-ups, CCKC will not deliver or pick up at any location requiring its personnel to climb or descend more than 3 stairs. Customer is responsible for making arrangements with CCKC regarding this at least 24 hours before delivery and pick-up.
4. Rental Extension
Customer has sole responsibility to have available all Equipment for pick-up on the agreed-upon date stated on the order invoice, or a rental extension fee may be assessed. Additionally, for every day the Customer possesses the Equipment beyond the agreed-upon pick-up date, the Customer will be charged the standard daily rental date for all overdue Equipment in the Customer’s possession.
5. Replacement Costs
CCKC will make all reasonable efforts to accommodate missed pick-ups. However, it reserves the absolute right to decline them for any reason. If the Equipment is not returned for 30 days after the originally scheduled pick-up date and the Customer has not communicated an effort to extend the rental term, it will be assumed that the Customer wishes to purchase the equipment and will be charged $50 per crate and $69 per dolly in the Customer’s possession. The same fees will be assessed for Equipment that CCKC deems to be damaged beyond use.
If any of the Equipment is damaged but is deemed repairable by CCKC, a repair fee of $20 per crate and $40 per dolly will be assessed.
