Rental Agreement
This Rental Agreement is between DMV Strollers, LLC, a Maryland LLC ("DMVS" or "we" or "us"), and Customer (named at the end of this Agreement, or named when communicating with DMVS when placing an order and/or in the Order Confirmation) (or "you"). The parties agree as follows:
1. General
a) Acceptance of Terms and Conditions: By placing an order for a stroller rental either through this Website or by other means (e.g., phone, text, email, fax, in person, concierge, other third party, etc.) after having visited the Website or been referred by DMVS to the Website, and/or by acknowledging your agreement to this Agreement via phone or otherwise, you accept and agree to this Rental Agreement, as well as the Website Terms of Use ("Terms and Conditions," or "Terms of Use"), FAQs, and Privacy Policy.
b) Option to Decline: IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS AS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, YOU MUST NOT PLACE AN ORDER, SIGN THIS AGREEMENT, RENT A STROLLER OR OTHERWISE ENGAGE IN ANY RENTAL TRANSACTION OR OTHER COMMERCIAL TRANSACTION WITH DMVS.
c) Modifications to this Agreement. DMVS reserves the right to modify this Agreement as posted on our Website as we deem necessary or desirable at any time. Modifications may include additions, deletions, and/or changes to this Agreement. Such changes may include, among other things, the adding/changing of certain fees or charges. Where such modifications are material, we will notify you by sending you an email to your registered account email and/or by posting notice of the change on the Website. If we make changes to our Rental Agreement and you proceed to place an order, you are agreeing to and accepting the then-current Rental Agreement, including any modifications. Please note that any modifications shall be effective immediately upon our posting thereof, unless otherwise specified.
2. Definitions
a) Website shall refer to the websites at www.dmvstrollers.com and owned and operated by DMV Strollers, LLC, which includes informational and promotional content, as well as transaction capabilities, related to the rental of strollers by DMVS.
b) Rental Period shall refer to the time period during which the stroller(s) are available and/or used or in possession/control of Customer, and shall be from the time of actual Delivery by DMVS to Customer directly or the location agreed upon until the time of actual Return by Customer to the agreed-upon location for return. The Rental Period is extended when Customer either extends the period with consent from DMVS or fails to return the stroller(s) without consent. If without consent, note the charges in Sections IV (f) and (g).
c) Rental Insurance – defined in Section VI.
3. Services Provided and Responsibilities of the Parties
a) Placing an order constitutes an offer. By placing an order, you make an offer to DMVS to rent the stroller(s) specified by you, which can be accepted or rejected by DMVS. It may be rejected, for example, due to unavailability of the specified stroller(s) during the period requested or for other reasons that may or may not be communicated to you. If it is accepted, we will provide confirmation to you by email or mailing, provided that you have given at least one of those addresses with your order and have not declined confirmation. If it is rejected, we will make reasonable efforts to so notify you, but please keep in mind that we may not do so if we have done so by phone or other communication method, the order is incomplete or did not get transmitted or for some other reason we do not believe it can or should or needs to be communicated. In addition, if we do not respond, we most likely have not accepted your offer. However, there may have been a problem in your receiving the response of either acceptance or rejection, so if you receive no response, please contact us immediately as your order may have been placed and payment charged or it may have been rejected, so do not assume either way.
b) Once an order is confirmed, we reserve the right to make substitutions of the stroller(s) requested if manufacturers stop manufacturing a certain model or there is a recall giving rise to the need for substitution. If we are delivering to private property that is not owned by you, such as a hotel, airbnb, etc., please understand that we are permitted on the premises and able to provide this commercial rental service at the pleasure of the owner, who may require we leave or not provide the services we do, and thus we may need to alter the location of delivery or have you pick up the stroller from us or cancel if we cannot otherwise accommodate your delivery request. In any of the above circumstances, we will make best efforts to notify you and provide you with your options, including the option to cancel the order.
c) Customer understands that this is a contract of renting only and not of sale, meaning that Customer has rented the stroller(s) herein described upon the express condition that the stroller(s) will at all times remain the property of DMV Strollers and be returned to DMVS.
d) Customer shall all pick up the stroller(s) promptly at the agreed-upon Delivery time and to inspect the stroller(s) upon taking possession of same, to ensure the correct quantity, brand and model requested, quality, and that the strollers work and are in good condition, are not broken or incomplete, etc.
e) Customer agrees to use, maintain and take care of the stroller(s) in a careful and responsible manner.
f) In the event that any stroller at any time during the rental period fails to function correctly, appears dangerous in any way, or Customer does not know the correct operating procedure, Customer shall immediately cease use of the stroller(s) and immediately thereafter notify and make contact with DMVS to determine the location to which to return the stroller(s). If DMVS can correct the problem, Customer may thereafter choose to continue the rental of such (or replaced) stroller(s), but shall do so at Customer's own risk, so Customer must feel comfortable taking back possession of the stroller(s) and if Customer does not, DMVS will refund the fee for the unused portion of time of the originally requested order period. If DMVS cannot or elects not to correct the problem, DMVS will refund the fee for the unused portion of time of the originally requested order period.
g) Customer agrees to return the stroller(s) promptly to the location designated by DMVS at the agreed-upon Return time.
4. Payment of Fees & Charges
a) Fees for Rental, as well as some other fees are specified on the ordering pages on the Website and will be specified in your Order Confirmation.
b) Customer agrees to pay promptly when due all fees and charges which accrue because of the rental, including (but not limited to) rental fees, any insurance purchased, any rain covers purchased, tax, and charges for damages to and/or loss of stroller(s).
c) Fees will be charged upon placing of the order, except for fees/charges added or incurred later.
d) An additional charge of $30 per stroller will be incurred by Customer if strollers are returned excessively dirty. Examples of where strollers would be deemed excessively dirty would include (but are not limited to) where they are returned with stuck-on chewing gum, crayon markings, paint, glue, ink, dried ice cream or other food/drink, vomit, or urine or fecal matter.
e) In the event that Customer fails to return any or all strollers to the location designated by DMVS at the agreed time or fails to abide by any of the terms/conditions of this Agreement, DMV Strollers may charge the full cost of replacing the stroller(s) as well as any additional costs incurred, including cost of sending out people to pick up strollers twice, etc. This is no way limits or precludes DMVS' ability to collect damages for its full loss, under contract, tort or other legal theory, including damages for lost profits, consequential damages, punitive damages, attorneys' fees, etc.
f) Customer has the ability to select the most convenient stroller return time from those available, when placing an order. Customer agrees to return the stroller promptly at such time, time being of the essence. For the late return of a stroller, the fee shall be $30 per stroller. For every day not returned, the fee shall be that same amount, plus additional costs may be incurred and charged to Customer. If you know you will be late returning the stroller, please call DMVS immediately. In some instances we may be able to waive the fee or provide more convenient options for you.
g) Customer may be charged for any damage, missing parts, or loss during the Rental Period, whether Customer had the stroller(s) in Customer's possession or not, and whether the damage/loss was due to Customer's fault or not. Customer will be charged the full cost of replacing the stroller(s) in the event of damage unless Customer elects to purchase the Rental Insurance. Likewise, Customer will be charged the full cost of replacing the stroller(s) in the event Customer fails to return the stroller(s) at all, or in the event the stroller is stolen or lost.
h) Unless Customer pays otherwise and DMVS so accepts, All fees and charges will be applied to Customer's credit card as incurred, including Rental and other fees immediately upon placement of order, and other fees and charges as added by Customer or discovered by DMVS (such as when damage or loss or need for excessive cleaning is discovered upon return of stroller(s)). If a credit card cannot be charged for any reason, Customer agrees to pay the amount billed by DMVS immediately upon receipt.
5. Refunds
a) In the event that you need to cancel your reservation, 100% of the money collected from the reservation will be refunded up to 48 hours prior to the first rental day; otherwise the refund will be the total amount collected minus $50.
b) For malfunctioning strollers, please see the refund provision set forth in Section III (f).
6. Rental Insurance
a) Customer is responsible for the stroller(s) once they have been delivered to the location agreed to for pickup by Customer and until they have been picked up by DMVS at the end of the rental period. Therefore, DMVS makes available rental insurance as an option for Customer to purchase at the time of placing a stroller rental order ("Rental Insurance"). By purchasing the insurance for $30 per Single stroller, $30 per Double stroller, or $30 per Wagon stroller, the customer will not be charged the cost of repairing a damaged stroller, EXCEPT IN INSTANCES OF FRAUD. If purchased, insurance must be purchased for all strollers rented. This insurance purchase option must be clearly stated at the time of order, and if it is not on your order confirmation it cannot be added later.
b) We are not responsible for theft of personal items left in, by, or attached onto the stroller.
7. Term
a) The Term of this Agreement shall be for the time period from when the order is placed through the end of the Rental Period. Note the extensions applicable to the Rental Period in the Definition Section. Also, note the Survival Section herein.
