Lessee agrees to pay the rates, fees, taxes, and other charges stated in this Agreement and any signed attachment. The parties should define partial-period, extension, overage, standby, and early-return treatment before the equipment leaves the yard.

A deposit, if listed, is not automatically a damage charge. The final agreement should state how the deposit may be applied, when any balance is returned, and what documentation supports deductions.

Lessee should inspect the equipment at handoff and identify pre-existing condition, meter, fuel, attachments, and visible damage in a signed checkout record. Lessee will return the equipment in the agreed condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, with all listed attachments and records.

7. Use, care, breakdowns, and notice

Lessee will use the equipment only for its intended purpose and at the approved site, using operators who are trained, qualified, and legally permitted for the work. Lessee will not subrent, alter, overload, or move the equipment to another site without written approval.

Lessee will stop use and notify Lessor promptly after a breakdown, accident, theft, loss, or suspected unsafe condition. Lessee will not authorize repairs or modifications unless Lessor approves them in writing.

8. Damage, loss, and damage protection

Damage-protection election

Not addressed in this draft

Damage-protection fee

[FEE OR NOT APPLICABLE]

Subject to applicable law and any separately reviewed damage-protection terms, Lessee is responsible for loss, theft, or damage occurring while the equipment is in Lessee's possession, except ordinary wear and tear.

Damage protection is not addressed in this draft. Choose an election only after the yard has separately reviewed the option, fee, coverage, exclusions, claim process, and applicable law.

9. Insurance and allocation of risk

Insurance requirement

[INSERT COUNSEL-APPROVED INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS OR STATE NONE]

Insurance limits, additional-insured language, indemnity, warranty disclaimers, and limits of liability vary by transaction and jurisdiction. Insert only terms reviewed for this yard, equipment, customer, and state; this generator does not choose them.

10. Default, recovery, and disputes

The final agreement should define default, notice, cure rights, lawful equipment recovery, collection costs, dispute forum, and any attorney-fee provision. Do not repossess equipment, enter property, assess interest, or select a forum based only on this starting-point language; use counsel-approved procedures and applicable law.

The parties intend the laws of [GOVERNING STATE] to govern only if that choice is valid and approved by counsel for this transaction.

11. Entire agreement and changes

This Agreement, its equipment schedule, condition record, and signed attachments are intended to record the parties' complete rental terms. Changes should be in writing and accepted by authorized representatives of both parties. Review any conflict with an existing master service agreement before signing.

Additional negotiated terms: [ADD TERMS OR STATE NONE].
