Welcome to EazyCrate!

This Crates Rental Agreement (“Agreement”) is made and entered into by and between EazyCrate (“Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) and the user (“Renter”, “you”, or “your”), collectively referred to as the “Parties”.

This Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions under which you agree to rent plastic moving crates and related equipment (“Crates”) from EazyCrate. By renting Crates from us, you agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. Please read this Agreement carefully before proceeding.

Rental Period

1. Commencement: The rental period shall commence on the date the customer (hereinafter referred to as “Renter”) receives the rented crates and shall continue until the return of the crates to EazyCrate.

2. Rental Duration: The standard rental period for crates is [2 weeks, i.e., ’14 days’], unless a different duration is agreed upon in writing or booked in the online reservation system at the time of rental. The Renter agrees to return the crates to EazyCrate on or before the last day of the agreed rental period.

3. Extension of Rental Period: If the Renter wishes to extend the rental period beyond the initially agreed duration, the Renter must notify EazyCrate at least [2 days, e.g., ’48 hours’] before the end of the current rental period. Approval of extension requests is subject to the availability of the crates and at the discretion of EazyCrate. Additional rental charges will apply for extended rental periods, calculated on a pro-rata basis.

4. Late Returns: In the event that the Renter fails to return the crates within the agreed rental period without securing an extension, late fees may be applied. The rate of late fees will be specified in the rental agreement or in the rate sheet provided at the time of rental.

5. Early Returns: If the Renter returns the crates before the end of the rental period, there shall be no refund of the rental fee for the unused portion of the rental period.

6. Condition Upon Return: The Renter agrees to return the crates in the same condition as received, normal wear and tear excepted. The Renter will be responsible for any damage to the crates during the rental period.

7. Return Procedure: Specific instructions for the return of the crates, including location and method of return, will be provided by EazyCrate at the time of rental. It is the responsibility of the Renter to adhere to these instructions to ensure a smooth return process.

Warranty

1. Condition of Crates: EazyCrate warrants that the Crates rented under this Agreement will be in good working condition at the time of delivery. We perform regular inspections and maintenance to ensure the quality and functionality of our Crates.

2. Limited Warranty: This warranty is limited to the condition of the Crates upon delivery. EazyCrate does not provide any additional warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.

3. Renter’s Inspection: Upon receipt of the Crates, the Renter agrees to inspect the Crates for any defects, damages, or unsuitability for the intended purpose. Should any defects or issues be identified, the Renter is required to notify EazyCrate immediately. Failure to notify EazyCrate of any defects or issues at the time of delivery will be deemed as acceptance of the Crates in their delivered condition.

4. No Modifications: The Renter agrees not to alter, modify, or tamper with the Crates in any way. Any modifications made to the Crates will void this warranty.

5. Warranty Exclusions: This warranty does not cover damages resulting from misuse, abuse, accidents, alterations, negligence, or improper handling by the Renter. The Renter will be responsible for any such damages incurred during the rental period.

6. Remedies: In the event of a breach of this warranty, EazyCrate’s sole responsibility and the Renter’s exclusive remedy will be the replacement of the defective Crates, subject to availability. EazyCrate reserves the right to determine, at its sole discretion, whether the Crates are defective.
