This is the agreement you'll sign electronically when booking. You can print this page for your records.
This Equipment Rental Agreement (the "Agreement") is between Running Duck Ranch LLC ("Owner") and the individual or entity identified in the booking ("Renter"). By signing electronically at checkout, Renter agrees to all terms below for the equipment, dates, and charges shown in the booking summary (together, the "Rental").
The Rental covers the equipment, implements, and accessories listed in the booking (the "Equipment"). The rental period runs from the first through the last date selected, inclusive. Equipment must be returned (or be ready for pickup by Owner) by the end of the last rental day. Late return is charged at the applicable daily rate for each additional day or partial day, plus any resulting costs to Owner.
Renter agrees to pay the total shown at checkout, which is itemized in the booking summary (rental rates, any implement add-ons, bundle pricing, delivery, prepaid refueling, and — for card payments — a card processing fee). Card payments are processed at booking. Cash bookings are reservations; payment in full is due at handoff, and Owner may release the reservation if payment is not made.
If delivery is selected, Owner delivers to and retrieves from the address provided; Renter must ensure safe, lawful access. If Renter picks up Equipment, Renter must supply a tow vehicle, hitch, and trailer properly rated for the loaded Equipment (the dump trailer is 14,000 lb GVWR and requires an adequately rated truck and 2-5/16" hitch). Owner may refuse handoff to an inadequate or unsafe towing setup; refusal for this reason does not entitle Renter to a refund of delivery charges already incurred.
Equipment is provided with a full tank. Renter returns each machine full, or Owner will refuel it and bill the fuel — diesel or gasoline as the machine requires — at the per-gallon rate locked at the time of reservation (shown at booking; currently $4.83/gal diesel, $4.01/gal gasoline). A per-machine refueling service fee, as shown on that machine's listing at booking, also applies unless the machine's prepaid refueling service was purchased.
Equipment must be returned in substantially the condition received, ordinary dust and dirt from normal use excepted. A $75 cleaning fee applies if Equipment is returned excessively dirty (including caked mud, concrete, paint, chemicals, or debris left in the trailer bed).
Unless Renter elected to use their own insurance, the booking includes a damage waiver (14% of the equipment rental). The waiver relieves Renter of the cost of repairing accidental damage arising from normal, careful use. The waiver does NOT cover: damage from negligence or failure to use common sense; misuse, abuse, or operation beyond rated capacities; track and tire damage; damage from prohibited uses (Section 4); intentional or reckless damage; overhead or undercarriage damage from operating in unsuitable terrain; or theft, loss, or disappearance. Excluded losses remain Renter's full responsibility.
If Renter elected to use their own insurance, Renter must present a valid certificate of insurance at handoff naming coverage adequate for the Equipment, and Renter (and Renter's insurer) bears all loss or damage to the Equipment during the rental period.
Renter is responsible for the Equipment from handoff until return to Owner. Renter bears the full replacement cost of Equipment that is lost, stolen, or not returned, and the full repair cost of any damage not covered by the damage waiver. Renter must secure the Equipment when unattended and notify Owner immediately of any damage, malfunction, accident, or theft (and file a police report for theft).
Renter acknowledges that operating heavy equipment involves inherent risks, and Renter assumes all risk of injury, death, or property damage arising from possession or use of the Equipment during the rental period. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Renter releases, and agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Owner and its members, employees, and agents from and against all claims, liabilities, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorney fees) arising out of Renter's possession, use, or return of the Equipment, except to the extent caused by Owner's gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Renter accepts the Equipment in its condition at handoff, having had the opportunity to inspect it. Owner disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. Owner's total liability under this Agreement shall not exceed the total rental charges paid. Owner is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including lost profits or project delays, even from Equipment breakdown; Owner's sole obligation for a breakdown not caused by Renter is a pro-rata refund of rental charges for the unusable period.
Renter may cancel at no charge with at least 48 hours' notice before the first rental day (card payments refunded in full). Cancellations inside 48 hours may be charged one day's rental. Owner may cancel and fully refund a booking at any time due to equipment breakdown, safety, or weather.
If Renter breaches this Agreement (including prohibited use or non-payment), Owner may terminate the Rental and retake the Equipment wherever located, without notice, and Renter remains liable for all charges and costs of recovery.
This Agreement is governed by Idaho law; venue for any dispute lies in the state courts of Ada County, Idaho. If any provision is unenforceable, the remainder stays in effect. This Agreement, together with the booking summary, is the entire agreement between the parties. Renter consents to transact electronically and agrees that typing their name at checkout constitutes a binding electronic signature under the federal E-SIGN Act and the Idaho Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.
