Use of the Products
You agree to treat the Products with reasonable care. The rental coverage provided by us covers normal wear and tear, but you are responsible for any loss, destruction, or damage to the Products for any reason, including due to theft, loss, disappearance, fire, major stains, or any other cause. “Normal wear and tear” means minor scratches, abrasions, cuts, stains, , or other minor damage.

You agree to use the Product only for its intended purpose in accordance with the Product instructions.
Product and Service Descriptions & Availability
We may, in our sole discretion, provide listings, descriptions, or images of Products that are available on the Services, as well as references and links to Products, but we do not warrant that the Product listings, descriptions, or images are accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free, or that any Products will be available, even if noted as so on our Services. Such information and the availability of any Product are subject to change at any time without notice. We may, in our sole discretion, make certain Products, Services, or Service features available to certain subsets of customers or Account holders at any given time. Certain weights, measures, and similar descriptions are approximate and are for convenience only. We make reasonable efforts to accurately display the attributes of Products, including the applicable colors, however the actual colors you see will depend on your computer system, and we cannot guarantee that your computer (including a smart phone or similar device) will accurately display such colors. The prices displayed for Products and Services are quoted in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise indicated. Prices and availability for Products on our Reserve Service are not confirmed until the applicable Products are shipped; if the actual price of such a Product is higher than our stated price, or if the Product is no longer available, we will contact you for instructions before shipping or cancel your order and notify you of such cancellation. The availability through the Services of any listing, description, or image of a Product does not imply our endorsement of such Product or affiliation with the provider of such Product.
Product and Service Recommendations
To improve your experience with our Products and Services, we may provide personalized Product recommendations to you. These recommendations may be based on your past rentals or purchases or other information we collect from you, popular items on our site, historical Product data, and general style trends or other third-party data, and may rely on various forms of analysis such as algorithms and artificial intelligence (“AI”). For more information about how we use AI tools, please review our AI terms below, and for more information about how we collect, use, and protect your personal information, manage your preferences or exercise your privacy rights, please review the current RENTRESS Privacy Policy
Delivery
You must provide us with accurate shipping information, so that we can timely deliver Products to you. You are responsible for providing us with accurate shipping information for deliveries and for keeping the shipping information for your Account up-to-date. If you provide us with a shipping address that is invalid or where you cannot securely accept Products upon delivery, or if you do not keep your shipping information up-to-date, you are solely responsible for any resulting loss, theft, or damage to the Products. Following delivery to the designated address, as between you and us, you will be solely responsible for the condition of each Product until you return such Product. We reserve the right to reject, cancel, or prohibit any rentals or sales of Products for any reason. Many factors impact the timing of each individual delivery, including the delivery ZIP code, purchase type, time of year, weather, and factors internal to the delivery providers we use, among others. Please see our FAQ Section for more information regarding deliveries.
Returns and Lost Items
Returning Purchased Products: Products purchased from RENTRESS are final sale only. Products marked as Final Sale are not eligible for return.
Returning Rented Products: You agree to return each Product that you have rented through RENTRESS by the return date for such Product identified in your online account and/or by the date on the applicable invoice for your order or as otherwise set forth in these Terms (the “Product Return Date”). We may, but are not required to, permit you to extend your rental period for a Product (including by contacting us), subject to prepayment of any additional fees applicable to that Product for the period of time of the extension. Failure to timely return a Product is a violation of our Terms, and we may terminate your Account, charge your Payment Method for Late Fees up to the Maximum Late Fee (plus applicable taxes), and/or take other legal action.
Lost Items: We are not responsible for any personal or other items left in Products or in the Return Packaging that is returned to RENTRESS. If you believe you have accidentally or otherwise sent any such items to us, please contact customer service as soon as possible at orders@rentress.com. We may, but are not required to, assist you in attempting to locate such items at your request, and we assume no responsibility or liability if we attempt to locate such items.
Returning by Mail/Shipping Carrier: If you use the Return Packaging that we provide, you must use the shipping carrier specified on the pre-paid shipping label included with the Return Packaging. RENTRESS will not be responsible for loss, theft, or damage to Products that are shipped back to us using any carrier other than the carrier that is specified on our Return Packaging and/or the return label provided for the return of a purchased product (“Return Label”), or for any fees (including Late Fees) or expenses that you incur due to delays in RENTRESS receiving the Product. RENTRESS does not ship Products outside of the United States, and you may not return Products to us from outside of the United States without our prior written permission.
In the event that you lose or damage the Return Packaging that we provide, please contact us immediately at orders@rentress.com. Otherwise, you will be responsible for returning the Product to us in your own packaging, at your own expense. Furthermore, you acknowledge that using any packaging or shipping carriers other than our Return Packaging and the carrier specified thereon may result in delivery delays and additional delivery fees for which RENTRESS will not be liable. You will be solely liable for all such delays, Late Fees, additional delivery fees, and any damage to Products.
Billing and Payments
How Payments Work
RENTRESS does not directly access, handle, or store your credit or debit card information; we may view certain limited payment card information, such as the name and last four digits of a card on file for your account, in the course of providing the Services, including to detect and prevent fraud, administer or verify your account, or help you add or replace a payment card. To submit payment using the Services, you will need to provide your name, email address, telephone number, and your credit or debit card number (or other payment instrument RENTRESS may accept), expiration date, and security code, as well as any such information as necessary to verify the applicable payment.
When you place an order for a rental Product, you hereby authorize RENTRESS to charge your payment card or other payment instrument (“Payment Method”) all charges at the prices then in effect for you for any use of such Paid Services in accordance with the applicable payment terms immediately upon your order. Rental Fees exclude all federal, state, and local taxes, goods and service tax, fees, customs, duties, levies, and other governmental assessments, all of which shall be paid by you directly or, if paid by RENTRESS, shall be paid by you to RENTRESS in connection with your rental order. A reservation of a rental Product through the Services is an order for the rental of that Product, regardless of how far in advance that Product is reserved.
You must ensure that at all times your Payment Method is valid and up-to-date. You are responsible for providing complete and accurate billing and contact information to RENTRESS and notifying RENTRESS of any changes to such information. If the Payment Processor is not able to charge your preferred Payment Method, you authorize us to use any Payment Method stored on record for your Billing Account. We reserve the right to suspend or cancel a rental order or terminate your access to the Services in the event that we are unable to successfully charge the provided Payment Method. We are not responsible for errors by the Payment Processor, and we reserve the right to correct any errors or mistakes that we or the Payment Processor make(s) even if we have or our Payment Processor has already requested or received payment. If we, through the Payment Processor, do not receive payment from you, you agree to pay all amounts due on your Billing Account upon demand.
All payments made to our Payment Processors are subject to that third party’s privacy policy. These Terms do not apply to any third party’s collection and use of your information. Please review the applicable Payment Processor’s privacy policy. Our Payment Processor(s) will use your payment-related information in accordance with its privacy policy.
Payment Authorization
If the amount to be charged to your Billing Account varies from the amount you preauthorized (other than due to the imposition or change in the amount of state taxes), we shall provide notice of the amount to be charged and the date of the charge before the scheduled date of the transaction. Any agreement you have with your payment provider will govern your use of your Payment Method. You agree that we may accumulate charges incurred and submit them as one or more aggregate charges during or at the end of each Billing Period.
How to Cancel a Reserve Order
You may cancel a Product ordered using our Reserve Service subject to our cancellation fees and policies. Please see our FAQ Section for more information regarding our Reserve Service cancellation fees and policies.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION: DISPUTES AND ARBITRATION, CLASS ACTION WAIVER, JURISDICTION AND VENUE
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING DISPUTE RESOLUTION SECTION CAREFULLY (subsections (a) through (i) below will be referenced herein as the “Dispute Resolution” section) BECAUSE IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT AND TO HAVE A JURY HEAR YOUR CLAIMS. IT CONTAINS PROCEDURES FOR MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION, A CLASS ACTION WAIVER, A JURY TRIAL WAIVER, AND A CONTRACTUAL LIMITATIONS PERIOD.
YOU AND RENTRESS EACH ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE TERMS IN THIS DISPUTE RESOLUTION SECTION ARE INTENDED TO REDUCE THE FINANCIAL BURDENS ASSOCIATED WITH RESOLVING THEIR DISPUTES AND ARE NOT INTENDED TO DELAY ADJUDICATION OF ANY PARTY’S CLAIMS.
THIS SECTION APPLIES TO ANY CLAIM BETWEEN YOU AND RENTRESS (EACH, A “PARTY”; TOGETHER, THE “PARTIES”) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THESE TERMS, OUR PRODUCTS, YOUR VISIT TO THE SITE, OUR ADVERTISING OR MARKETING, OUR PRIVACY AND DATA SECURITY PRACTICES, AND TO ANY IN-STORE OR ONLINE RENTAL, PURCHASE, TRANSACTION, RETURN OR OTHER INTERACTION WITH RENTRESS, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, WARRANTY, STATUTE, REGULATION, OR OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE BASIS (EACH, A “CLAIM”), INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO:
• CLAIMS THAT AROSE BEFORE THIS OR ANY PRIOR AGREEMENT;
• CLAIMS THAT WOULD OTHERWISE BE SUBJECT TO PRE-EXISTING CLASS ACTION LITIGATION FOR WHICH YOU MAY BE A PUTATIVE CLASS MEMBER; AND
• CLAIMS THAT MAY ARISE AFTER THE TERMINATION OF THESE TERMS.
Notwithstanding the provisions herein, if you in any manner violated RENTRESS’s intellectual property rights, we may bring suit in any state or federal court in the State of Maryland. Additionally, notwithstanding the provisions herein, either you or RENTRESS may bring a Claim in small claims court consistent with the jurisdictional and dollar limits that may apply. The route to small claims court shall only be the result of a direct filing by you or RENTRESS. As set forth below, a Claim commenced in arbitration may not be secondarily directed to small claims court per otherwise applicable rules.
Both you and RENTRESS acknowledge and agree that for the purposes of any dispute arising out of or relating to the subject matter of these Terms, RENTRESS's officers, directors, employees, and independent contractors (“Personnel”) are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and that upon your acceptance of these Terms, Personnel will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as the third-party beneficiary hereof.
THIS ENTIRE DISPUTE RESOLUTION SECTION SHALL SURVIVE THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT, THESE TERMS OF USE, THE PARTIES’ RELATIONSHIP, OR THE END OF YOUR USE OF ANY SERVICES.
(a) Mandatory Informal Dispute Resolution for All Claims.
Before filing any lawsuit relating to a Claim, you agree to first send a detailed notice (“Notice”) to RENTRESS by email at legal@rentress.com OR certified or registered mail with proof of receipt to us at RENTRESS, 4516 East West Hwy, Riverdale Park MD 20737, Attn: Legal Department within the applicable statute of limitations. Your Notice must contain all of the following information: (1) your full name; (2) your address; (3) your telephone number; (4) your email address; (5) information sufficient for RENTRESS to identify any transaction and/or product at issue (e.g., your order number, order confirmation communication, SKU number, etc.); and (6) a detailed description of your Claim, the nature and basis of your Claim(s), and the nature and basis of the relief you are seeking with a calculation for it. You must personally sign this Notice.
Likewise, RENTRESS agrees that if we have a dispute with you, we will first send a detailed Notice to your e-mail address on file with us. RENTRESS’s Notice will likewise set forth (1) information sufficient for you to identify any transaction at issue; and (2) a detailed description of our dispute, the nature and basis of our claim(s), and the nature and basis of the relief we are seeking with a calculation for it.
(b) Class Action Waiver; Jury Trial Waiver.
YOU AND RENTRESS AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, INCLUDING ANY JOINT OR CONSOLIDATED LAWSUIT OR JOINT OR CONSOLIDATED ARBITRATION OF ANY KIND. Additionally, you agree that you will not be a member of any putative or actual class in a class action brought by anyone else against RENTRESS, nor will you seek to become a class representative. You further agree that in any action you initiate against RENTRESS, any relief you seek will be confined to relief on your own behalf.
Together, the terms in the preceding paragraph shall be called and operate as the “Class Action Waiver.” To the extent any portion of this Class Action Waiver is found unenforceable, the Arbitration Agreement below shall not apply, notwithstanding any severability provisions herein.
Except as the Terms otherwise provide and to the fullest extent permitted by law, you and RENTRESS acknowledge and agree that you are each waiving the right to a trial by jury.
(c) Arbitration Agreement.
You and RENTRESS agree that CLAIMS SHALL BE RESOLVED THROUGH BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION, RATHER THAN IN COURT. This requirement, and the terms set forth in subsections (d) and (e), shall collectively be referred to as the “Arbitration Agreement.”
The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to this Arbitration Agreement. By agreeing to arbitration, you and RENTRESS are not limiting in any way either of our statutory or common law rights or potential remedies to which either of us would be entitled to if our Claim were instead being heard in a court.
ANY ARBITRATION WILL BE ADMINISTERED BY NATIONAL ARBITRATION AND MEDIATION (“NAM”) AND GOVERNED BY NAM’S APPLICABLE RULES (including the Comprehensive Dispute Resolution Rules and Procedures and/or the Mass Filing Supplemental Dispute Resolution Rules and Procedures, as applicable) ("NAM Rules"), as modified by these Terms. You may obtain a demand form to initiate arbitration as set forth in the NAM Rules available online at www.NAMADR.com, by emailing NAM at commercial@namadr.com, or by requesting them in writing at the Notice address; this demand form, along with a certification under penalty of perjury of compliance with the Mandatory Informal Pre-Suit Resolution process, must both be personally signed by the party initiating arbitration (and their counsel, if represented) and a copy must also be sent to RENTRESS. You and RENTRESS agree that any counsel representing a party in arbitration must comply with the requirements of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b), and that the arbitrator may impose any sanctions against all appropriate represented parties and counsel if he or she determines a Claim is frivolous.
The arbitration shall occur through the submission of documents to one arbitrator. If the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary, the hearing shall be conducted remotely by telephone or video conference. If the arbitrator determines that an in-person hearing is necessary, the hearing will take place in the State of Maryland. You and RENTRESS will select an arbitrator or hearing officer(s) after commencement of the action in accordance with NAM’s rules and procedures.
Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the NAM rules and applicable fee sheet, as determined by NAM. All issues relating in any way to arbitration—including the applicability, scope, and enforceability of the arbitration provisions of this Dispute Resolution section—are for the arbitrator to decide. The arbitrator may consider but shall not be bound by rulings in other arbitrations involving different customers. At the conclusion of the arbitration proceeding, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. The arbitrator’s decision on all procedural and substantive issues is binding only between you and RENTRESS and will not have any preclusive effect in another arbitration or proceeding that involves a different party. An arbitrator’s award that has been fully satisfied shall not be entered in any court.
You and RENTRESS shall each be limited to a maximum of one (1) fact witness deposition per side, unless we agree otherwise or the arbitrator determines that more depositions are warranted based on the totality of circumstances (including the amount in controversy, the complexity of the factual issues, the number of parties and the diversity of their interests, and whether any or all of the Claims appear, on the basis of the pleadings, to have sufficient merit to justify the time and expense associated with the requested discovery). Document requests shall be limited to documents that are directly relevant to the matter(s) in dispute or to its outcome; shall be reasonably restricted in terms of time frame, subject matter and persons or entities to which the requests pertain; shall not include broad phraseology such as "all documents directly or indirectly related to"; and shall not be encumbered with extensive "definitions" or "instructions." The arbitrator may edit or limit the number of document requests based on the totality of circumstances, including the factors listed above.
In any arbitration, the defending party may make a written settlement offer at any time before the evidentiary hearing or, if a dispositive motion is permitted, prior to the dispositive motion being granted. Settlement offers may not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator issues an award on the Claim. If the award is issued in the defending party's favor, or in the other party's favor but is less than the defending party's settlement offer, then the other party must pay the defending party's costs incurred after the offer was made, including any attorney's fees. If any applicable statute or case law prohibits the shifting of costs incurred in the arbitration, then the offer in this provision shall serve to cease the accumulation of any costs to which the party bringing the Claim may be entitled for the cause of action under which it is suing.
(d) Special Procedures for Mass Filings
To the extent an arbitration falls within NAM’s definition of a mass filing, you and RENTRESS agree to the procedures set forth below and in NAM’s Mass Filing Supplemental Dispute Resolution Rules and Procedures (“NAM’s Mass Filing Rules," available at https://www.namadr.com/resources/rules-fees-forms). Any applicable limitations period (including statute of limitations) and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled beginning when the Mandatory Informal Pre-Suit Resolution process is initiated, until the Claim is selected to proceed as part of a staged process or is settled, withdrawn, otherwise resolved, or opted out of arbitration.
Counsel for each side shall select 25 Claims (50 Claims total) to be filed and to proceed in individual arbitrations as part of a staged process. Each of these individual arbitrations shall be assigned to a different, single arbitrator unless you and RENTRESS agree otherwise in writing. No administrative fees will be assessed in connection with any remaining Claims unless and until they are selected to be filed in individual arbitration proceedings as part of a staged process. After this initial set of staged proceedings is completed, you and RENTRESS shall promptly engage in a global mediation session of all remaining Claims with a retired federal or state court judge, unless the parties agree otherwise.
If the remaining Claims are not resolved at this time, counsel for the parties shall each select an additional 25 Claims per side (50 Claims total) to be filed and to proceed in individual arbitrations as part of a second staged process, subject to any procedural changes the parties agreed to in writing. This process shall continue, consistent with this staged process set forth above in this subsection, by administering and moving forward a maximum of 50 individual arbitration proceedings at a time until the parties are able to resolve all of the Claims, either through settlement or arbitration.
A court of competent jurisdiction shall have the authority to enforce this entire Dispute Resolution section and, if necessary, to enjoin the mass filing, prosecution, or administration of arbitrations and the allocation of arbitration fees. If these additional procedures apply to your Claim, and a court of competent jurisdiction determines that they are not enforceable as to your Claim, then your Claim shall proceed in a court of competent jurisdiction consistent with the remainder of these Terms.
(e) Exceptions.
Notwithstanding the Parties’ agreement to resolve all Claims through arbitration (i) either you or RENTRESS may seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court’s jurisdiction; and (ii) either you or RENTRESS may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights or confidential information. The route to small claims court shall only be the result of a direct filing by you or RENTRESS. As set forth above, a Claim commenced in arbitration may not be secondarily directed to small claims court per otherwise applicable rules. Any institution of any action for injunctive relief will not constitute a waiver of the right or obligation of the claiming party to submit any claim seeking relief other than injunctive relief to arbitration.
(f) Time Limits.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, YOU AGREE THAT ANY CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO ANY CLAIM MUST COMMENCE WITHIN ONE YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES. OTHERWISE, THAT CAUSE OF ACTION IS PERMANENTLY BARRED. For purposes of this provision, a Claim is considered commenced at the time the Notice (defined above in subsection (a) is sent). To the extent a Claim is filed in court or arbitration without first providing such Notice (which would be contrary to these Terms, as set forth above), the Claim is deemed commenced at the time of such filing.
(g) Opt-Out.
Within thirty (30) days of agreeing to these Terms, you may opt out of the present version of the Arbitration Agreement by sending your personally signed, written notice to the following address: RENTRESS, 4516 East West Hwy, Riverdale Park MD 20737, Attn: Legal Department - Arbitration Opt Out. Such written notice does not constitute an opt out of any previous versions of the Arbitration Agreement, or the Class Action Waiver that you may have agreed to, which would continue to govern your claims.
(h) Severability.
If the prohibition against class actions and other claims brought on behalf of third parties contained above is found to be unenforceable, then all of the preceding language in this Dispute Resolution section will be null and void. This Dispute Resolution section will survive the termination of your relationship with RENTRESS.
(i) Exclusive Venue.
In any circumstances where the foregoing Arbitration Agreement permits either you or RENTRESS to litigate any Claim arising out of or relating to the subject matter of these Terms in court, then the foregoing Arbitration Agreement will not apply to either party, and both you and RENTRESS agree that any judicial proceeding (other than small claims actions) will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Riverdale Park, Maryland

Waiver; Severability
