Rental Agreement

Agreement Term: 365 Days From Date of Signing

This Rental Agreement (the "Agreement") is entered into by and between Corridor Party Rentals LLC ("Company", "CPR", "we", or "us") and the individual or entity renting the equipment ("Renter", "you", or "your"). By submitting a request, paying an invoice, or using our equipment, you agree to all terms in this Agreement.

1. Equipment Rented

Itemized Inventory: The equipment, games, furniture, or inventory to be rented (collectively referred to as "Equipment" throughout this Agreement) is detailed on the accompanying invoice or delivery confirmation document, which is part of this Agreement.

2. Rental Period, Scheduling, & Delivery Options

Commencement and Termination: The rental period begins when you take physical possession of the Equipment (or upon delivery to your site) and ends when the Equipment is successfully returned and checked back in by an authorized Company representative.

Rental Options & Rates: Our standard rate covers a rental period of up to 48 hours to give you dedicated setup and cleanup time. Extended rental periods beyond 48 hours are available, and our system automatically applies a built-in multi-day discount during online booking. All rates, pickup/drop-off days, and scheduled return times are listed on your approved invoice.

Pickup Logistics & Scheduled Handoff: All customer pickups and returns are strictly by appointment via Express Curbside Handoff at our North Liberty, Iowa location. Pickup instructions are emailed prior to your event. Because handoffs are by appointment only, you agree to meet our representative at your exact scheduled time.

Vehicle Transport & Safety: You are responsible for providing a clean vehicle and heavy-duty tie-down straps or blankets to secure your cargo. We reserve the right to refuse loading if transport is deemed unsafe. If loading is refused due to unsafe transport, the order may be converted to a delivery service (subject to staff availability and delivery fees). If delivery cannot be accommodated, the order will be processed as a same-day transport cancellation; all paid funds remain non-refundable but will be converted into a 365-day store credit per Section 12. The Company assumes zero liability for transit-related damage to the Equipment or your vehicle.

Complimentary Loaner Gear: If you lack adequate tie-downs, we may lend backup ratchet straps or moving blankets as a courtesy. These remain Company property. Any lost, unreturned, or damaged loaner gear will be charged to the card on file at full retail replacement value.

Delivery & Service Options:
Delivery, setup, teardown, and return pickup are optional services available for additional fees. Standard delivery service is intended for event locations within a 40-mile radius of North Liberty, Iowa. Requests for delivery outside our standard 40-mile radius require prior written approval, are subject to a $100 minimum rental equipment total (excluding delivery fees and taxes), and will have custom delivery fees assessed at our discretion. Standard delivery pricing is calculated based on mileage and order volume; setup and teardown are not included in standard delivery but can be added upon request. All delivery arrangements and fees must be paid prior to the rental date.

Custom Logistics: We reserve the right to adjust operational timelines or fulfillment logistics to accommodate specific circumstances (e.g., venue rules, vehicle restrictions, or high-volume orders). Any customized arrangements will be noted on your invoice.

3. Arrival Buffer, Late Fees, & Rescheduling

Punctuality Clause: Punctuality is vital to consecutive booking operations; time is strictly of the essence. The following rules apply to all scheduled appointments:

  • Early Arrivals: Renters shall not arrive prior to their scheduled appointment time, as early checkouts or drop-offs cannot be accommodated.
  • Pickup & Delivery Appointments:
    • 0–15 Minutes Late: Covered by a complimentary 15-minute grace period.
    • 15–29 Minutes Late: Subject to a late fee of $1.00 per minute (capped at $15.00), charged to the card on file.
    • 30+ Minutes Late Without Communication: Missing your window by 30+ minutes without prior written communication constitutes a No-Show.
    • Same-Day Rescheduling: Same-day rescheduling is granted purely at Company discretion. If accommodated, a flat $25.00 Same-Day Rescheduling Fee may be charged.
    • Unfulfilled No-Shows: If there is no communication by the end of the business day, or if a new time cannot be scheduled, the reservation is canceled and processed under Section 12.
  • Return Appointments & Unapproved Holds: Missing a scheduled return appointment without prior written approval constitutes an Unapproved Hold. Unapproved holds incur an immediate $25.00 administrative fee charged to the card on file, in addition to daily late fees detailed in Section 4 until all Equipment is returned.

4. Late Returns & Total Loss

Return Enforcement: All Equipment must be returned on the date and during the specific time slot designated on your invoice. Keeping Equipment past your appointment without prior written consent triggers an automatic daily late fee equal to each item's daily rental rate.

Total Loss & Replacement: If Equipment is not returned within forty-eight (48) hours of your scheduled deadline, it is declared a total loss. You will be billed on your card on file for the full retail replacement value of all items plus accrued late fees. Retaining Equipment past 48 hours without authorization constitutes unlawful withholding of property.

5. Condition of Equipment & Inspection Window

Quality Standard: We thoroughly clean, inspect, and approve all Equipment prior to handover.

Inspection Window: You have a 2-hour window after pickup/delivery to inspect all Equipment. Notifying us in writing (email or text) with photos of any defect within this 2-hour window allows us to assist or fix the issue. If no notification is received within 2 hours, or if you begin using the Equipment earlier, it is mutually agreed that the Equipment was received in clean, good, and fully working condition. Cosmetic wear and tear is not considered a defect.

6. Cleaning, Care, & Return Condition

Care Requirements: You are responsible for keeping the Equipment clean and organized during your rental. All items must be returned clean, dry, free of food debris, mud, tape, or stains, and packed in their designated transport bins or bags as received (if applicable).

Cleaning Penalties: If Equipment is returned excessively dirty, wet, stained, or improperly packed, an automatic cleaning fee starting at $25.00 will be charged to your card on file based on the labor required. Packing or returning Equipment while wet resulting in damage or mold will be treated as physical damage under Section 7.

Transport Containers: Bins, totes, and bags are part of the rental inventory. Any damage, rips, or destruction to transport containers will be billed to the card on file at retail replacement value.

7. Damage, Loss, & Theft

Renter Liability: You assume full financial responsibility for any loss, theft, damage, or destruction of the Equipment during transit and your rental period. You are not liable for normal wear and tear from proper use.

Replacement & Repair Costs: In the event of loss, theft, damage, or missing items, you agree to pay the actual cost of repair or current retail replacement value.

Transit Damage Waiver: Our staff may assist with loading as a courtesy, but you maintain final responsibility for securing your cargo. We disclaim liability for damage to your vehicle, interior, exterior, or trailer during loading, transit, or unloading. You assume full liability for any highway accidents, property damage, or third-party injuries resulting from loose or shifting Equipment during transport.

Card on File Authorization: For any loss, theft, physical damage, missing items, unapproved late holds, or cleaning restoration fees, you explicitly authorize us to charge the credit card on file for the actual repair or retail replacement cost after post-event inspection. An itemized receipt detailing any assessed charges will be sent immediately following the transaction.

8. Use of Equipment

Proper Operation: You agree to use all equipment safely, lawfully, and according to manufacturer guidelines.

Prohibited Alterations: You may not make physical alterations, modifications, paint adjustments, or structural changes to the Equipment.

9. Liability & Equipment Issues

Holding Us Harmless: You assume all liability for the equipment during your rental. You agree to protect, defend, and hold harmless Corridor Party Rentals LLC (and its owners and staff) from any claims, lawsuits, injuries, or damages arising from the transport, setup, or use of the equipment by you or your guests.

Maximum Liability Limit: We are not responsible for lost party costs, venue fees, or ruined events due to equipment issues or delays. Our maximum financial liability is strictly limited to a refund or replacement of the specific rental item.

Reporting Issues: If an item malfunctions, you must notify us immediately during your rental period via phone, text, or email so we can troubleshoot or swap it out. Failing to report an issue before your return window waives rights to refunds or adjustments.

10. Payment Terms & Order Minimums

Order Minimum: A minimum equipment rental order total of $25.00 (excluding taxes, delivery fees, or add-on services) is required to complete any reservation.

Payment Schedule: All reservations require a 50% non-refundable reservation fee upon invoice approval to lock in your items and event date.

  • Bookings 7+ Days Out: The remaining 50% balance is charged to your card on file seven (7) days before your scheduled appointment. We will send a courtesy reminder email prior to processing this payment.
  • Bookings Under 7 Days Out: Full payment (100%) is due immediately upon approval, which includes the 50% non-refundable reservation fee portion.

Automatic Cancellation: Once approved, you have 24 hours to complete your required payment. If payment is not submitted within 24 hours, your reservation hold expires and items return to active public inventory. We do not collect traditional security deposits; equipment protection is handled via card-on-file authorization under Section 7

11. Pricing Structure & Rate Adjustments

Prices & Invoices: All rental rates, delivery/setup fees, and taxes are clearly listed on your invoice. Prices on your paid invoice are locked in for your event.

Advertised Rates Policy: Advertised rates, packages, and bundles are subject to change without notice. Only values itemized on a finalized, paid invoice are locked.

12. Cancellations, Rescheduling, & Weather

Cancellation Policy: Cancellations must be submitted in writing via email or text message. Refunds and charges are processed based on when written notice is received:

  • 24+ Hours Notice: The 50% reservation fee is retained to cover calendar holding and administrative costs. Any additional balance paid beyond the 50% reservation fee will be fully refunded to your original payment method.
  • Less than 24 Hours Notice (or No-Show): All payments are 100% non-refundable.

Rescheduling & Store Credits: If you need to cancel or reschedule, 100% of your paid funds (including the non-refundable reservation fee) can be converted into a transferable store credit valid for up to 365 days from your original event date.

Weather Policy: Monitoring the forecast is your responsibility. Because most equipment can be safely used indoors or under cover, weather-related refunds or discounts are not granted outside standard cancellation terms.

13. Breaking the Rules (Default & Remedies)

Our Rights: If you violate this agreement, we may cancel your rental immediately. Unpaid balances become due right away, and we reserve the right to retake possession of our equipment. We also reserve the right to take legal action to recover missing property or funds.

Right to Refuse Service: We reserve the right to refuse service or cancel bookings for anyone who behaves in an abusive or uncooperative manner or poses a risk to staff or inventory.

14. Legal Disputes (Governing Law)

Local Law & Court Location: This agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Iowa. Any legal claims regarding this rental must be handled exclusively in courts located in Johnson County, Iowa.

15. Length of This Contract (Duration of Agreement)

One-Year Rolling Coverage: This contract stays active for 365 days from the date you sign it. It automatically applies to every rental order you place with us during this one-year period. Each order receives its own invoice, while this master contract continues to govern all bookings.

16. Enforceability (Severability)

Invalid Terms: If any single rule in this agreement is found invalid or unenforceable by a court, all remaining parts of this contract stay in full force and effect.

17. Signature, Consent, & Authority

Legal Authority: Anyone signing on behalf of a business or organization confirms they have legal authority to bind that entity. If the entity fails to fulfill its obligations, the individual executing this document assumes personal responsibility for fees, damages, and costs.

Electronic Execution & Binding Assent: In accordance with federal ESIGN laws, checking the "I agree to the terms and conditions" box, submitting a reservation request, or paying an invoice constitutes your electronic signature and legal agreement. You acknowledge all terms in this 17-section master Agreement and authorize any manual or automated card charges outlined herein.
