Customer agrees that Lans 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.
**Rental period/ Calculation of charges**
Rental charges commence when the Equipment leaves the Store Location and end when the Equipment is either returned to the Store Location during Lans’ regular business hours or picked up by Lans after Customer notifies Lans that the Equipment is “off rent”. Pick-up and delivery by Lans is subject to a “Delivery and Pick-up Service Charge,” the amount(s) of which are disclosed on the Rental and Service Agreement.
Rental charges do not include the cost of the Refueling Service Charge, any applicable Taxes, the Delivery and Pickup Service Charge, transportation surcharges, the cost of the Environmental Service Charge or other miscellaneous charges, the amount(s) of which are disclosed on the Rental and Service Agreement. Additionally, Lans shall invoice Customer for any additional excess cleaning or repair costs, including: (i) removal of any alterations made by Customer to the Equipment; (ii) restoration of the Equipment to its original configuration; (iii) re-lining or re-painting of Tanks; (iv) disposal of any contents left in Tanks; or (v) transportation to and from an approved repair facility. As set forth herein, “Taxes” shall mean sales tax, goods and services tax, or other taxes, levies and assessments required to be collected by Lans from Customer at any time upon, or in respect of, the Equipment and/or this Agreement. Rental charges accrue during Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays. Rental rates are for normal “one-shift” usage based on an eight (8) hours per day, 40 hours per week and 160 hours per four-week period. On power equipment, operations in excess of one shift will be as follows: one and one-half times the rental charge for double shift and two times the rental charge for triple shift. Customer will truthfully and accurately certify to Lans the number of shifts the Equipment was operated. Customers 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 the Agreement. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE OF THE AGREEMENT.
**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.
**Environmental service charge**
Due to the hazardous nature of some waste and other products, to comply with federal and state environmental regulations, and to promote a clean environment, Lans charges an Environmental Service Charge for certain rentals. The Environmental Service Charge is not a government-mandated charge, is not designated for any particular use, and is used at Lans’ discretion. The Environmental Service Charge is $15. Customer acknowledges the items indicated above are subject to the Environmental Service Charge and Customer agrees to pay that Charge.
**Payment**
All amounts due hereunder shall be payable in full upon receipt of invoice by Customer. Customer acknowledges that timely payment of rental and service charges is essential to Lans’ business operations and it would be impractical and extremely difficult to fix the actual damages caused by late payment. Customer and Lans agree that there shall be added to all past due rental charges a late payment fee equal to the lesser of two percent (2%) per month (24% per annum) on any such payments outstanding after 30 days, or the maximum amount allowed by applicable law. Rental rates do not include sales tax, goods and services tax or other taxes, levies and assessments required to be collected by Lans from Customer at any time upon, or in respect of, the Equipment and/or the Agreement (collectively, “Taxes”). Customer agrees that Lans 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 or Taxes. In the event Customer asserts that a transaction is exempt from Taxes, Customer agrees to provide a valid tax exemption certificate.
**Title/ No purchase option/ No liens**
This Agreement is not a contract of sale, and title to the Equipment shall at all times remain with Lans. Unless covered by a specific supplemental agreement signed by Lans, Customer has no option or right to purchase the Equipment. Customer shall keep the Equipment free and clear of all mechanics and other liens and encumbrances. Tire and tube repair or replacement Repair or replacement of tires and tubes on Equipment is the responsibility of Customer and is not included in the rental rate.

**Customers insurance coverage**
Customer agrees to maintain and carry, at Customes sole cost, the following insurance: (i) commercial auto liability insurance with at least a per occurrence limit of $2 million; (ii) commercial general liability insurance with limits of insurance not less than $2 million per occurrence and $4 million in the aggregate; and (iii) property insurance for the full replacement cost of the Equipment, including coverage for all risks of loss or damage to the Equipment. Customer shall obtain insurance policies that provide, or are endorsed to provide, that all insurance required hereunder is primary and non-contributory to any other insurance maintained by Lans. Customer shall name Lans as an additional insured for claims arising out of the maintenance, operation, or use by the Customer of equipment rented to Customer by Lans and, if applicable, additional loss payee for property insurance. Customer further agrees that the amount of insurance available to Lans shall be for the full amount of the loss up to policy limits of liability and shall not be limited to the minimum requirements of this Agreement.
