The terms below describe the rental agreement between DFI Creative Solutions Corp., a California Corporation (“Lessor”) and all Equipment Renters (“Lessee”). DFI Creative Solutions Corp., and Equipment Renters will hereinafter be referred to as the “Parties.” 

This Agreement is made effective through clicking on the checkbox denoted by “By clicking here, I agree to the terms and conditions of the Rental Agreement.” by Lessee. By agreeing to this Agreement, the Lessee is bound by this Agreement and all terms and conditions herein, whether or not the Lessee has read them. 

If you do not agree to this Agreement, you are not permitted to rent equipment or use any related services.

Lessor reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to change, modify, add, or remove portions of this Agreement at any time. Changes will take effect immediately upon being posted to the DFI Rentals website at https://www.dfirentals.com/rentalagreement. By clicking to agree to this Agreement, you acknowledge that it is your responsibility to review the Agreement periodically for updates. Your continued rental of equipment following the posting of changes constitutes your acceptance and agreement to the updated terms without requiring additional affirmation or consent.

This Agreement shall include and be subject to the following terms and conditions:

  1. CONTINUING RENTAL AGREEMENT: Lessee agrees that this Agreement shall apply to any rental of Property by Lessee from Lessor occurring on or after the date of this Agreement even though the specific Property, duration of rental and/or the price for the rental may vary. Lessee acknowledges and agree that the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall continue to apply to all future rental transactions between Lessee and Lessor, without necessity of either party executing a new Rental Agreement.

  2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY: The equipment (“Property”) subject to this Agreement shall be the specific items of Property listed on the Pickup Confirmation or Equipment Rental Invoice prepared by Lessor and given to Lessee at the time of delivery/pick up of the Property to/by Lessee or to a third party at the direction of Lessee. Such Pickup Confirmation and or Equipment Rental Invoice shall be deemed a part of this Agreement, as if fully incorporated herein. It shall be Lessee's sole responsibility to determine that the Property delivered is in accordance with the Pickup Confirmation or Equipment Rental Invoice and to notify Lessor immediately of any discrepancy therein. Lessor shall not be responsible for any discrepancies not brought to Lessor's attention at the time of delivery.

  3. DELIVERY AND RETURN: For purposes of this Agreement, Lessee shall be deemed to have taken delivery (“Delivery”) of the Property from the time the Property is set aside from Lessor's general inventory for Lessees use. Lessee shall be deemed to have returned the Property only at such time as Lessee shall have returned the Property to Lessor's receiving department during Lessor's regular business hours and after Lessor shall have accepted the same. Acceptance of returned equipment by Lessor shall mean that Lessor shall have unpacked the Property from its container, examined it for damages and individually bar code scanned the Property into Lessor's computerized system as returned. The acceptance of the returned Property is not a waiver by the Lessor of any claims Lessor may have against Lessee, nor a waiver of claims for latent or after discovered damage to the Property.

    If the Property is not returned within 24 hours of the specified return date and time, and the Lessee fails to notify the Lessor in advance, the Lessor may issue a written demand or equipment overdue notice to the Lessee for the immediate return of the Property. If the Lessee does not respond to such demand or return the Property within 24 hours of receiving the written notice, the Property may, at the Lessor’s sole discretion, be considered stolen. In such cases, the Lessor reserves the right to notify and involve law enforcement and pursue all legal remedies. Additionally, the Lessee will remain liable for all applicable rental fees, replacement costs, and any additional expenses incurred by the Lessor in recovering the equipment or addressing its theft. Failure to return the Property on the agreed-upon date and time without prior notification constitutes a breach of this Agreement.

  4. USE OF PROPERTY: Lessee shall operate and use the Property in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and recommended use and shall neither abuse or misuse the Property nor use or store the Property in any manner or at any location which will subject it to abnormal or hazardous conditions or risk. Lessee will take all necessary precautions during the shipment, use or storage of the Property to protect the Property and all persons using the Property from injury or damage. The Property shall be used only by qualified employees or agents of Lessee. Lessee shall not make any alterations, changes, modifications or improvements to the Property without the prior written consent of Lessor and Lessee shall not deface, remove or cover any name plate, asset tag, or other tags affixed on the Property showing Lessor's name and identification or that of the manufacturer. All Property shall be used in accordance with applicable federal, state or local laws or ordinances

  5. INSPECTION/WARRANTY: Lessee shall inspect and the Property on delivery to determine that it is in good working order. Lessee shall notify Lessor at the time of Delivery if Lessee determines that the Property is not in good working condition. Lessee is responsible for all damage and loss to Property during testing. Once the Property is removed from the premises of Lessor, Lessee assumes all risk of loss and damage. After such delivery, Lessee acknowledges that the Property is rented without any express or implied warranty or guarantee of any kind.

  6. RISK OF LOSS/REPAIR/REPLACEMENT COST: From the delivery of the Property to Lessee until its return to Lessor, as those terms are defined herein, including during any time of transit or shipment of the Property per Section 7 below, Lessee shall bear any and all risk of loss and/or damage to the Property regardless of whether such loss or damage may have been caused by Lessee, Lessee's agent, Sublessee, shipper or any third party. If the Property is damaged, such liability shall include Lessor's cost of repair or replacement as determined at Lessor’s sole discretion, and the payment of all continuing rental charges until the repaired Property can be restored to rental use by Lessor. Continuing rental charges shall accrue at a full daily rental rate irrespective of any package discounts or other discounts agreed to at Delivery, until the item is repaired and/or replaced and the invoice for damages has been paid in full, whichever is later. If the Property cannot be repaired in a timely manner as determined solely by Lessor, then Lessee shall be liable for Lessor's full replacement cost of the Property as well as the payment of all continuing rental charges until the Property is replaced and restored to rental use by Lessor. The decision as to whether the damaged Property shall be replaced or repaired shall be solely Lessor's and shall be conclusive on Lessee. If the Property is lost, stolen or seized (by a third party or governmental agency) while in the possession of Lessee or any agent or Sublessee of Lessee, or any carrier or storage facility, Lessee shall be liable for the full replacement cost of the Property and all continuing rental charges until the replacement Property is restored to rental use by Lessor. Lessor shall be under no obligation to replace or repair Property until Lessee has paid for the damaged, lost or stolen Property. In such event, continuing rental charges for the subject Property shall continue to accrue until Lessee has paid for the lost, stolen or damaged Property. Accrued rental charges cannot be applied against the replacement cost or cost of repair of damaged, lost or stolen Property. At the lessor’s discretion, a cleaning fee may be charged if any of the following must be removed from the equipment upon return: smoke, mud or dirt, chalk or powder, sand, and/or any other matter that must be removed from the equipment before it is placed back in Lessor’s inventory. Cleaning fees are billed at $50 per hour, and additional charges may apply for cleaning materials used.

  7. TRANSPORT AND SHIPMENT: In the event the Property rented by Lessee is transported or shipped, whether from Lessor to Lessee, or to any third party or location, or upon its return to Lessor, or at anytime between delivery and return of the Property as those terms are defined in Section 3 of this Agreement, the risk of loss during that transport and shipment shall be solely Lessee's. Lessee, at Lessee's option, shall be entitled to select its own shipper or transport service and shall notify Lessor of that selected shipper or transport service at the time the rental order is placed. If Lessee declines to make such election, and requests transport by a shipper or transport service selected by Lessor, then Lessee shall still remain solely responsible for risk of loss during that transport or shipment and shall continue to maintain insurance on the Property as provided herein. Lessor shall bear risk of loss during transport or shipment only during times when Lessor's own employees are directly handling the transport or shipment.

  8. INDEMNIFICATION: Lessee agrees to defend, indemnify and hold Lessor harmless against any claim, liability, loss, costs, damages, expenses, or demands arising directly or indirectly out of, or in connection with the use of the Property leased from Lessor by Lessee, its agents, servants, sublessees, contractors, representatives, guests, invitees, or customers. In no event shall Lessor be responsible or liable to Lessee or, any agents or representatives of Lessee for any damages, including lost profits, lost savings or other direct or indirect incidental or consequential damages arising out of the use or inability to use any equipment rented or the alleged breach of any agreement described herein, even in the event that Lessor or Lessor’s agents have been advised of the possibility of such damages. 

  9. CONJOINED USE OF EQUIPMENT: Lessee acknowledges and agrees that any use of the Property in conjunction with other equipment, whether owned by Lessee or leased from third parties, is at Lessee’s own risk. Lessor shall not be held liable for any damages, losses, or performance issues arising directly or indirectly from such combined use of the Property. Furthermore, Lessor makes no warranties, express or implied, regarding the compatibility or safety of the Property when used in conjunction with any non-Lessor-owned or leased equipment. It is the Lessee's responsibility to ensure the compatibility and safe use of the Property with any other equipment. Lessor will not be responsible for any claims, damages, legal actions, or liabilities that may arise from the combined or conjoined use of the Property with equipment not provided by Lessor.

  10. OWNERSHIP: The Property rented shall remain at all times the sole and exclusive property of Lessor. The Lessee has no rights or claims to the Property. Lessor makes no claims to images, video, or sound recordings made by the lessee while using the Property. 

  11. INSURANCE AND COVERAGE: Lessee shall at all times from the delivery/pick up of the Property to/by Lessee to its return to Lessor, as those terms are defined herein, including during times of shipment and storage, maintain adequate financial coverage to protect the Property from damage or loss from any cause whatsoever. Such coverage shall be in an amount sufficient to cover the full replacement cost of the Property and Lessor's continuing rental charges until the Property is repaired or replaced. Coverage must begin from the time Lessee accepts Delivery of the Property, and continue until the time Property is returned. Lessee shall deliver to Lessor evidence of financial coverage prior to taking possession of the Property. If Lessee fails to provide such proof of insurance before the scheduled possession date, the Lessor reserves the right to withhold delivery of the Property until satisfactory proof of coverage is provided. Lessor shall not be liable for any delays or damages arising from Lessee's failure to provide the required insurance documentation. Such coverage may be in the form of third-party insurance (with worldwide coverage to rented equipment), damage waiver (DFICover), or a credit card deposit for the full value of the Property rented. If using insurance, Lessor shall be named an additional insured and loss payee on such policy or policies. Notwithstanding this paragraph, Lessee shall remain primarily liable to Lessor for full performance under the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Lessor may elect to enforce its remedies directly against Lessee without resort to any third-party insurance policies.

  12. NOTICE OF INSURANCE: If Lessor elects to use Insurance as a form of financial coverage for renting Property, before obtaining possession of the Property leased, Lessee shall provide Lessor a Certificate of Insurance and applicable endorsements confirming each of the coverages specified above. All Certificates of Insurance shall be signed by an authorized agent or representative of the insurance company. All insurance maintained by Lessee pursuant to the foregoing provisions, shall be issued by an insurance carrier authorized to do business in the State of California with a BEST rating of A- or higher. The failure of Lessor to demand such notice or proof of insurance shall not excuse Lessee from providing it.

  13. NOTICE OF CANCELLATION OF INSURANCE: Lessee shall provide Lessor with thirty (30) days written notice prior to the effective cancellation, material change, or modification to any insurance required to be maintained by Lessee pursuant to the foregoing provisions.

  14. WAIVER OF SUBROGATION: All insurance maintained by Lessee pursuant to the foregoing provisions shall contain a waiver of subrogation against Lessor.

  15. FAILURE TO PROCURE INSURANCE: Lessee’s Insurers shall agree that the rights of Lessor under any third-party insurance coverage as described in the preceding paragraphs shall not be affected by any act or neglect or breach of condition by Lessee, other than non-payments of insurance premiums. Should Lessee fail to procure or pay the cost of maintaining in force the insurance specified herein, or to provide Lessor upon request with satisfactory evidence of insurance, Lessor may, but shall not be obliged to, procure the insurance and Lessee shall reimburse Lessor on demand for such costs. Lapse or cancellation of the requirement of insurance shall be an immediate and automatic default of this rental agreement.

  16. SUBLEASE BY LESSEE: The grant by Lessee of a sublease of the Property shall not effect Lessee's obligation to procure insurance for the benefit of Lessor as provided herein nor shall such Sublease otherwise effect or diminish any of Lessee's obligations under this Agreement.

  17. REMOVAL FROM STATE/U.S.: Lessee shall not remove the Property from the State of California without Lessor's prior written consent and approval, nor shall the Property be removed (under any circumstances) from the United States of America. For productions that require the transport of Property from the United States of America to Canada, prior written consent and approval is required, and Lessee shall maintain an adequate insurance policy with such international coverage. Any taxes, duties, and other fees levied on the equipment during international transport shall be the responsibility of Lessee. Lessee must return the Property to Lessor free of any taxes and duties. 

  18. ENFORCEMENT: Lessee hereby agrees to pay all fees and costs incurred by Lessor in enforcing the Terms and Conditions of this Agreement, including but not limited to attorneys fees, collections fees, court fees, regardless of whether or not a legal action is filed.

  19. PLACE OF CONTRACT, VENUE AND APPLICABLE LAW: This Agreement shall be deemed entered into at Lessor's principal office located in the County of Los Angeles in the State of California.

  20. DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION: Any and all disputes, claims, or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the rental of equipment, or any matter between the Lessee and Lessor, whether arising before or after the execution of this Agreement, shall be resolved exclusively through binding arbitration administered by a recognized arbitration body chosen by the Lessor, such as the American Arbitration Association (AAA). Arbitration shall be conducted under the applicable rules of the arbitration body, and the decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding.

    Before initiating arbitration, the Parties agree to attempt informal resolution of any dispute. The Lessee must provide written notice of the dispute to the Lessor at legal@dfirentals.com, detailing the nature of the claim and desired resolution. The Parties will have 60 days from the date of such notice to resolve the dispute in good faith. If the dispute remains unresolved after 60 days, either party may proceed with arbitration.

    The Lessee agrees to waive the right to bring or participate in any lawsuits, class actions, or other representative proceedings against the Lessor. Disputes must be arbitrated on an individual basis, and the arbitrator may not consolidate claims or preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.

    Arbitration shall take place in the County of Los Angeles, State of California, unless the Parties mutually agree to a different location. The costs of arbitration shall be shared equally by the Parties. This arbitration agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

    Notwithstanding the above, the Lessor reserves the right to bring legal action in a court of competent jurisdiction in specific cases, including but not limited to nonpayment of rental fees, fraud or intentional misrepresentation, theft or unlawful retention of equipment, breaches requiring injunctive relief, or any other circumstances where judicial intervention is necessary to enforce this Agreement or protect the Lessor’s rights.

  21. INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE: This Agreement and any attached or future Equipment Schedules and Pickup Confirmations Sheets, are incorporated by reference and made an integral part of the Agreement. This instrument and any such Equipment Schedules and Equipment Rental Invoices constitutes the complete agreement between the parties as to the issues covered herein. Further, no agreements, representations, or warranties other than those specifically set forth in this Agreement or in the attached Equipment Schedule(s) shall be binding on any of the parties unless they are also set forth in a writing that is signed by both parties.

  22. SECURITY DEPOSIT: Lessor may, at Lessor's option, require Lessee to give Lessor a refundable security deposit in an amount determined by Lessor. Said security deposit, if done by credit and/or charge card, shall be final. Lessee and/or charge card holder waive all rights to dispute charges with credit/charge card company and agree to resolve disputes as if the charges were made as cash payments. In the event that the credit/charge company fails to honor Lessor's charges for any reason, or if the credit charge or credit available shall be insufficient to cover the claims of Lessor under this Agreement, Lessee shall remain absolutely liable for the full amount of the claims. The election by Lessor to request and accept a security deposit in lieu of a proof of insurance certificate from Lessee, or for any other reason, does not constitute a waiver or limitation by Lessor of any of Lessor's rights or Lessee's obligations under this Agreement. At the end of the lease period, Lessor shall refund the security deposit to the Lessee, less any amounts that the Lessor is entitled to deduct including, but not limited to, cost of repairing or replacing the leased property and unpaid rental charges.

  23. CREDIT CARD AUTHORIZATION: Lessee hereby acknowledges and agrees that any credit/debit card information provided to Lessor may be used for the purpose of processing payments, deposits, rentals, sales, shipping charges, rental extensions, equipment damages, non-payment, or for any additional charges. Should there arise a situation where a charge is not honored by Lessee’s credit card for the any of the above purposes, Lessee unequivocally authorizes Lessor to recover said charges by any means permitted under law, including but not limited to credit card charges, assignment of debt to a debt collector, use of a debt collection agency, court proceedings, or any other applicable means. Lessee agrees to pay all fees and costs incurred with such recovery, as specified in paragraph 18 of this Agreement.

  24. TITLE AND OWNERSHIP: This Agreement constitutes a lease and not a sale of the Property or the creation of a security interest therein. No part of the rental payments made under this Agreement shall be deemed payment towards the purchase of any of the Property. Lessee specifically acknowledges the Lessor's superior title and ownership of the Property and must keep the Property free of all liens, levies and encumbrances.

  25. SURRENDER: Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this lease, Lessee shall return the Property to Lessor in the same condition as at the delivery/pickup to/by Lessee, ordinary wear and tear excepted. Lessee does hereby grant Lessor an option to terminate this agreement on twenty-four hours notice.

  26. RIGHT OF ENTRY AND INSPECTION: Lessor shall have the right to inspect the Property or observe its use at all times. Lessee shall make any and all arrangements necessary to permit an employee or agent of Lessor access to the Property. If a breach of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement occurs, Lessor has the right to remove all of the Property without any liability to you, and without prejudice to Lessor’s right to receive rent due.

  27. TERMS OF RENTAL: Unless otherwise specified in writing, the Property shall be leased on a day-to-day basis and all rates shall apply to each full day or any fraction thereof which has elapsed between the time the Property is delivered/picked up to/by Lessee and the time it is returned to Lessor.

All Equipment shall be returned freight prepaid, FOB destination. No allowance will be made for items delivered to but not used by Lessee. 

  28. PAYMENT AND CHARGES: Rental rates are offered to Lessee based upon Lessee's credit information available to Lessor at time of rental. If Lessee's credit information is incorrect or changes during the course of a rental, Lessor may revise the applicable rate without notice. Lessee agrees rental invoices and loss or damage invoices are payable upon receipt of invoices or use of the equipment. Any discounts granted by Lessor may be revoked at any time after thirty (30) days. If credit card is supplied by Lessee to Lessor, Lessee acknowledges and grants Lessor the unequivocal right to recover from Lessee's credit card immediately and/or consecutively any charges or amounts due Lessor until paid in full. Lease payment may not be applied to the purchase or repair or replacement cost of the Property. In no event is Lessee relieved from payment of rental invoices.

  29. INTEREST CHARGES: Monetary balances unpaid by Lessee and unpaid claims by Lessor against Lessee shall bear interest at the rate of five (5) percent per week, not to exceed the maximum interest rate permitted under applicable law.

Lessor reserves the right to cancel any rental, for any reason, at any time before any lease term begins. 

  31. DEFAULT: In the event Lessee shall fail to make any of the lease payments when due or shall fail to perform any other covenant or condition hereof to be performed by Lessee or any of the events described in this Agreement, Lessor may, in addition to all other remedies provided by law, exercise any one or more of the following, with or without demand, notice or legal process: a) Recover from Lessee all sums then due; b) Repossess the Property (by entering upon Lessee's premises, if necessary) without liability for trespass, or responsibility with respect to the Property or to any article left in or attached to same; and recover from Lessee all damages sustained by Lessor as a result thereof; c) Recover from Lessee any and all damages which Lessor shall have sustained by reason of non-performance by the Lessee of the terms and conditions of this Agreement; d) Retain, free from any claim by Lessee, all payments or other property theretofore received under this Agreement. e) Recover from Lessee all expenses incurred by Lessor in protection of its rights under this Agreement, including, without limitation, attorneys fees, arbitration costs, court costs, and costs of location, repossessing, debt collection agency fees, repairing, reconditioning and storing the Property.

  32. BANKRUPTCY: Neither this Agreement nor the Property is assignable or transferable by operation of law. If any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Act, as amended, is commenced by or against the Lessee, or if the Lessee is adjudged insolvent, or makes any assignment for the benefit of his creditors or if a writ of attachment or execution is levied on any item or items of the equipment and is not released or satisfied within ten (10) days thereafter, or if a receiver is appointed in any proceeding or action to which the Lessee is a party with authority to take possession or control of any item or any item or items of the Property, Lessor shall have and may exercise any one or more of the remedies set forth in Section 31(DEFAULT) hereof.
