Customer agrees that Rental Solutions reserves the right to charge the Credit Card and/or Customer’s account for any amount owed by Customer pursuant to this section due to late return of Equipment. 12. RENTAL PERIOD / CALCULATION OF CHARGES.  A. Rental charges commence when the Equipment leaves the Store Location and end when the Equipment is returned to the Store Location during Rental Solutions’ regular business hours. Rental charges do not include the cost of the Refueling Service Charge, any applicable taxes, the cost of the Delivery and Pickup Service Charge, transportation surcharges, the cost of the Environmental Service Charge or other miscellaneous charges. If Customer chooses to have Rental Solutions deliver and pick up the Equipment, Customer agrees to pay a Delivery and Pickup Service Charge. In the event that Customer has elected to pay for the Delivery and Pickup Service Charge, Customer shall notify Rental Solutions in writing that the Equipment is “off rent” and obtain an “off rent” confirmation number from Rental Solutions, at which time rental charges shall no longer be assessed, unless otherwise provided herein. Rental charges accrue during Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays. Rental rates are for normal “one shift” usage based on an 8-hour day, 40 hours per week and 160 hours per 4-week period. On power equipment, operations in excess of one shift will be as follows: 1.5 times the rental charges for double shift and 2 times the rental charges for triple shift. Customer will truthfully and accurately certify to Rental Solutions the number of shifts the Equipment was operated. Customer’s right to possess the Equipment terminates on the expiration of the Rental Period and retention of possession after this time is a material breach of this Rental Agreement. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE. 13. REFUELING SERVICE CHARGE.  Customer acknowledges that a “Refueling Service Charge” will be applied to all Equipment not returned with a full tank of fuel.  The exact cost of the Refueling Service Charge may vary depending on the rate being charged by the Store Location on the date Customer returns the Equipment.  Customer acknowledges that the Refueling Service Charge is not a retail sale of fuel.  Customer may avoid the Refueling Service Charge if Customer returns the Equipment with a full tank of fuel. 14. DEPOSIT. In addition to securing the payment of rental charges hereunder, Customer agrees that any rental deposit shall be deemed to be a guarantee by Customer of the full and complete performance of each and all the terms, covenants, and agreements to be performed by Customer hereunder. In the event of any breach by Customer, the deposit will be credited against any damages, cost or expense incurred by Rental Solutions as a result of the breach. 15. PAYMENT. All amounts due hereunder shall be payable in full upon receipt of invoice by Customer. Customer acknowledges that timely payment of rental charges is essential to Rental Solutions’ business operations and it would be impractical and extremely difficult to fix the actual damages caused by late payment. Customer and Rental Solutions agree that there shall be added to all past due rental charges a late payment fee equal to the lesser of 2% per month (24% per annum) on any such payments outstanding after 30 days, or the maximum amount allowed by applicable law. Customer agrees that Rental Solutions reserves the right to charge the Credit Card and/or Customer’s account for any amount owed by Customer pursuant to this section due to late or past due payment(s) or rental charges. 16. TITLE / NO PURCHASE OPTION / NO LIENS. This Rental Agreement is not a contract of sale, and title to the Equipment shall at all times remain with Rental Solutions.
