Rental Terms
Rental contract must be completed & returned to us prior to our office shipping The Empathy Belly®.
Tracking information is provided via email when the rental items have shipped.
Rental period begins on the day that you receive The Empathy Belly® and supplies (delivery confirmation provides this information for us).
You will keep the rental items for the appropriate amount of days & nights per your rental contract term (i.e. 3-Day rental means that you will keep the items 2 nights & return ship on the afternoon of the 3rd day). Ship all items back to us in the same boxes in which they arrived, via USPS Priority Mail®. We ask that the same padded protection be included inside of the box (just as it was delivered), to avoid damage. We will note the postmarked date of the box in which the items are returned to us. It is imperative that our rental clients are courteous in returning the rental items as scheduled, to accommodate the next rental client and avoid late charges.
Rental fees are accepted via website check-out, telephone, and by-mail.
Rental clients are contracted to properly care for and return ALL rental items. Our company has experienced theft attempts in the past and our Business Insurer requires that rental clients complete and return their rental contract before we ship rental items. Please keep in mind that our business ships out The Empathy Belly® with no security deposit. Our Rental Contract is used by law enforcement to retrieve the rental items when a theft attempt occurs. The replacement cost is $800.00, which is why many organizations charge a $200+ security deposit when leasing out these items.
Acceptance of this project means you accept financial responsibility if items are lost, damaged, or destroyed. If we receive The Empathy Belly® back in non-working condition, but can repair it; We will only invoice for the cost required to repair The Empathy Belly®.
