Description of the Rental Listings
The Rental Listings describe the objects, products and goods that are currently on offer for rent. They can only include the words, documents and images which the member decides to put online. Members are responsible for their Content, especially with regards any intellectual property claims which might be made by a third party. All the objects, products, goods, and services must be placed in the appropriate category. Any Member, including you, who posts a Rental Listing (an “Owner”) is solely responsible for ensuring proper category choices for their rental offers. Placement of a listing in a particular category by an Owner can in no instance be interpreted as a guarantee on Rentalic’s part regarding the origin and authenticity of said rental object.
An Owner must have either all ownership rights on an object, or all rights allowing them to put the object they have listed up for rent.
Any material terms and conditions of a Rental Listing, including, but not limited to, cost of rental, security deposit, delivery, maintenance fees, or any additional fees, representations or warranties must be clearly indicated in the Rental Listing. Further, if any Rental Agreement is to be proposed by the Owner it must be attached to the Rental Listing.
While the Rental Listing will include the Owner’s city and state, the Owner may make no mention of personal contact information anywhere on the Rental Listing. Things that count as contact information include, but are not limited to, the physical location of the Item, the Owner’s physical address, fax, telephone number, mailing address email address, or any other way to contact the Owner outside of the Rentalic interface.
Non-Rentable Objects and Goods
You agree that any Items that you offer for rent in a Rental Listing are
- only objects and goods that are part of regular market commerce;
- authorized under local, state, and federal laws to be held, used, and leased;
- free of defects that would put persons or other property in danger;
- not counter to the public good or unethical; or
- not on Rentalic’s list of Prohibited Items.
The responsibility lies with Owner to ensure that the objects he or she offers for rent are legal, authorized and not forbidden. In cases where illegal products are offered for rent, penal and/or civil responsibilities may be incurred. All Members who become aware of a rental offer that involves forbidden goods agree to contact Rentalic immediately via email at info@rentalic.com. Rentalic reserves the right to remove from its website any listings which are against the law, and/or contrary to its principles and morals. Rentalic also reserves the right to ban the Member who posted said offer.
Proposed Borrower's Obligations
Any Member, or you, who wishes to send a “Reservation Request” to a Rental Listing (the “Proposed Borrower”) agrees that he or she will review the Rental Listing in its entirety, including any proposed Rental Agreement, before sending a Reservation Request. If the Proposed Borrower wished to amend any terms of the proposed Rental Agreement, he or she must do so in his or her Reservation Request.
No Exchange of Contact Information
Once a Rental Listing is listed, and before a Rental Request is accepted, the Owner and Proposed Borrower may not share their identities or personal contact information for any reason (via the Rentalic interface or otherwise). Included as contact information are things like physical address, physical location of the rental, fax or telephone numbers where either party can be reached, mailing address or email.
From the moment of the online publication of a Rental Listing for an Item, until the moment the Owner accepts the Reservation Request, the Owner and the potential Renter cannot exchange (whether or not through the Site) their identity, their contact information, the address of the Owner, Renter or Rental Location, their fax or telephone numbers, email address or a web address.
Accepted Terms/Rental Transactions
The Owner is free to accept or deny any Rental Request. However, once the Owner has accepted the Reservation Request, the Owners and the Proposed Borrower agree that the proposed terms of the transaction, including any Rental Agreement is binding (subject to any conditions laid out in the Rental Agreement, such as inspection upon delivery.)
Rentalic is not responsible for any “double booking” by an Owner or the late return of an Item by a Borrower. As such Rentalic highly recommends that Owners leave enough time between accepted Rental Requests to receive the Item back from a previous Borrower.
Rentalic is not responsible for the condition of the Items posted in a Rental Listing. As such, Rentalic highly recommends that the Proposed Borrower inspect the Item prior to signing a rental and that the delivery of any Item occurs in person.
Rentalic Is Not a Party to Any Rental Agreement
Rentalic does not itself offer any rental services. The site is an online marketplace only, designed for the unique purpose of putting people who want to rent things in touch with people who have things to rent. We never intervene in the transaction between the Borrower and the Owner. Rentalic cannot thus be considered part of the Rental Agreement between members of the Site.
Rentalic exercises no control over the quality, safety or legality of Items listed, or over the truthfulness or accuracy of the Rental Listings, or over the ability of Owners to rent the Items listed or over the ability of the Borrower to rent or pay for the rental of any Items. We do not guarantee that the Parties will complete any or all terms of the transaction.
Any security deposits or guarantees required by the Owner in whatever form, remains the sole responsibility of the Borrower and Owner. Rentalic is not responsible for the collection, retention, or refunding of any security deposit, for the control of the exact identity of the Owner and the Borrower, or for collecting money owed by the Borrower to the Owner or by the Owner to the Borrower.
For the convenience of the Owner and Borrower, Rentalic makes available to the Owners and Borrowers, an optional Rental Agreement Template (“Template”). This Template, depending on the type of rental, includes information about the transaction such as the security deposit terms, the length of the rental, the price of the rental as well as all other information often included in rental agreements.
This template is provided by Rentalic as an option only, to be modified and added to by the Parties as needed. You agree that Rentalic is not responsible for any claims related to use of the Template. You acknowledge that the Template is only a “starting point,” and that it is your sole responsibility to prepare an enforceable Rental Agreement. Accordingly, Rentalic recommends that you seek professional advice when preparing a Rental Agreement.
