2. Website Description
a. Rentls is not a party to any Rental Agreement
Rentls 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. Rentls may intervene - to the extent necessary to uphold guidelines - in the transaction between the Renter and the Owner. Rentls cannot thus be considered part of the Rental Agreement between Site Members.
Rentls 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 Renters 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 Renter and Owner. Rentls 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 Renter, or for collecting money owed by the Renter to the Owner or by the Owner to the Renter.
b. Listing Fees Owed By Owner

9. Rental Listings and Rental Transactions
a. Description of the Rental Listings
Rental Listings describe Items offered for rent. Rental Listings can only include text, documents and images that the Members decide to upload, at their sole discretion. All the Items listed for rent must be in the appropriate category and the Owner is solely responsible for choosing the category in which they will place the Rental Listing.
All fees must be disclosed in the Rental Agreement and in the Rental Listing. The Rental Agreement is not Rentls’ responsibility, it is a document at the disposal of our member.
Extra payments related to the rental of an Item, such as delivery, maintenance or other assistance as linked to a particular rental, must be clearly indicated in the “description” zone of the Item.
Specific rental conditions which are not covered in the rental agreement or contract that may be available online, the security deposit conditions or the available days for rental information, must be mentioned somewhere in the product description.
The Owner must offer for rent goods that the Renter can physically pick up in a given location, either at the Owner’s address or at another one of his rental locations.
b. Owner Must Have Rights To The Item Offered For Rent
The Owner must either own the Item or be lawfully allowed to rent the Item which he or she lists for rent.
The Owner, either an individual or a professional, is not allowed in any case to publish any contact information within its Rental Listing. The physical address of the rental location, the Owner’s address, their fax or telephone, an email address or a website address are all considered as contact information.
c. Owner Cannot Change Price Of Transaction Once Accepted
The Owner cannot in any case change the price of a transaction, which he or she has already accepted. When accepting a Reservation Request, the Owner is committed to charge the price published in the Reservation Request.
d. No Exchange Of Contact Information
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.
e. Content of Rental Listings
Users and Members agree not to ask for any form of financial compensation in relation to the use of the Content published on Rentls.

Rentls is not responsible for determining whether or not you should be licensed and/or certified for the use of the Services or Site, or for conducting a transaction.

11. Conclusion of a Rental Agreement/Binding Agreement
The rental of a good between an Owner and a Renter put in contact through the site can only be done through the Site.
The Owner is free to choose with whom, if anyone, he or she would like to enter into a Rental Agreement. However, once the Owner has accepted the Reservation Request, the Owner and Renter agree that the Rental Agreement is binding.
12. Rental Agreement Template – Standard Rental Agreement
For the convenience of the Owner and Renter, Rentls makes available to the Owners and Renters, 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 Rentls as an option only, to be modified and added to by the Parties as needed. You agree that Rentls 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, Rentls recommends that you seek professional advice when preparing a Rental Agreement.
13. Geolocalization and Privacy
One of the many valuable features of Rentls is to be able to search locally for an Item using geo-localization tools. Rentls does not provide the address of the Owner or Rental Location until the Reservation Request has been accepted by the Owner.
The Maps tool uses an arrow to roughly show where the Rental Location is. This arrow will pinpoint the location with an approximation of several meters. The Rental Location is purposely inaccurate to protect the Owner’s privacy.
14. Modifications

10. Loss (known or mysterious) of any and all items included the rented Listing that are not returned to the Owner at the end of the Rental Period;
11. Loss of income, loss of time, or any other loss that is monetized or any other cost related to the rented Listing that may be incurred by the Owner or Renter;
12. Manufacturer's defects, or product or mechanical failure, not caused by the Renter.
In those circumstances where these Damage Waiver Coverage (Damage + Theft) Exclusions apply, you, as the Renter, agree to accept responsibility for damage to, loss of, or theft of the rented Listing and any liability for the repair or replacement cost of the Listing.
The determination of whether a theft has occurred is at the sole discretion of Rentls, which may be based on an investigation by law enforcement and Rentls itself. An investigation may include contracting investigative services by private investigators and other third-parties. All claims of theft require: 1) a copy of a filed police report; 2) confirmation of the police report filing and a criminal investigation by law enforcement; and 3) any information or footage that can help provide details of the theft for Rentls’s investigation of the claim.
As a Renter, you agree to initiate a claim under your own or an associated third-party's insurance policy (homeowners policy, tenant/renters policy, equipment policy, etc.) for any damage to or theft of the rented Listing before Rentls processes a claim, if requested to do so by Rentls. As an Owner, you agree to initiate a claim under your own or an associated third-party’s insurance policy (homeowners policy, tenant/renters policy, equipment policy, etc.) for any damage to or theft of the rented Listing before Rentls processes a claim, if requested to do so by Rentls. If the Renter's, Owner's, or an associated third-party's insurance policy reimburses the Owner for a claim related to the claim that is reported to Rentls based Damage Waiver Coverage (involves the same rented Listing), Rentls will subtract the reimbursement amount that is due or remitted to the Owner from any financial responsibility that Rentls may owe to the Owner on behalf of the Renter.
Rentls considers any major scratches, scuffs, dents, broken pieces, or other major damage caused unintentionally or accidentally as damage. Normal wear and tear (including scratches, scuffs, dents, or other less significant damage) is not considered to be damage under the Damage Waiver Coverage, and therefore is not covered by the Damage Waiver Coverage. The determination of whether damage is unintentional and not caused due to other circumstances, actions, or inactions, or if it is considered normal wear and tear as described herein, is at the sole discretion of Rentls.
If Rentls determines that the damage was unintentional and coverage under the Damage Waiver Coverage applies, and the Renter elects to utilize the Damage Waiver Coverage, the Renter agrees to pay Rentls a deductible amount of twelve percent (12%) of the Replacement Value of the Listing (as provided on the Listing when a Renter requests a rental), which is typically collected when Rentls reimburses the Owner, and the Renter agrees to be charged the deductible amount, and agrees to Rentls not refunding deductible amount if the Renter utilizes the Damage Waiver Coverage. Valuation of the Listing, the cost of replacement of the Listing (if applicable), the cost of repair of the Listing (if applicable), and the repair provider who may repair the Listing (if applicable), is within the sole discretion of Rentls.
If the Renter damages the Listing belonging to the Owner unintentionally or accidentally, which is included in the rental, within the Rental Period, the Renter agrees to pay for the repair or replacement of the Owner’s Listing, up to the amount not covered by the Damage Waiver Coverage (a claimed amount over $500.00), and/or the entire deductible amount (if applicable).
If the Renter damages, loses, steals, converts, or transfers custody and control to a third-party, or takes any other action in regards to a Listing which is not covered under the Damage Waiver Coverage, or if one or more of the Damage Waiver Coverage Exclusions, as determined
The Renter agrees to immediately pay the Listing Owner or Rentls for the repair or replacement of the Owner’s Listing if: the Renter damages, loses, steals, converts, or transfers custody and control to a third party; if the Renter takes any other action in regards to the Listing which is not covered under the Damage Waiver Coverage; if one of more of the Damage Waiver Coverage (Damage + Theft) Exclusions apply to the listing, as such application is determined by Rentls;
If the Renter damages, loses, steals, converts, transfers custody and control to a third-party, or takes any other action in regards to the the Listing which is not covered under the Damage Waiver Coverage, the Renter hereby agrees to immediately pay the Listing Owner or Rentls for the repair or replacement of the Owner’s Listing. Valuation of the Listing included in the rental is within Rentls’ sole discretion.
Renter further agrees to immediately pay the Listing owner in the foregoing circumstnaces, if Rentls determines that one or more of the Damage Waiver Coverage (Damage + Theft) Exclusions applies to that Listing within the Rental period.
Any peripheral items included in the rental, within the Rental Period, are not covered by the Damage Waiver Coverage. Peripheral items include, but are not limited to, batteries, battery chargers, cases, cables, caps, lens hoods, etc. If the Renter damages and/or loses any peripheral items included in the rental, within the Rental Period, the Renter agrees to pay for the repair or replacement of the peripheral item(s), whether or not the Renter has opted to purchase the Damage Waiver Coverage. In the event of replacement or loss of peripheral item(s) included in the rental, Renter agrees to pay Rentls the value of the peripheral item(s) to be repaired or replaced, even with the Damage Waiver Coverage, in order for Rentls to repair or replace the Owner’s peripheral item(s). Valuation of the peripheral items included in the rental is within the sole discretion of Rentls. The determination of whether or not something is a peripheral item and not covered by the Damage Waiver Coverage, is at the sole discretion of Rentls.
Renters must contact Rentls and/or submit an incident form as soon as the rented Listing is damaged or lost. Rentls will conduct an investigation, and at its sole discretion, conclude whether the Damage Waiver Coverage applies. Members agree to authorize Rentls to conduct, investigate, and solely determine if the Damage Waiver Coverage applies. There are no guarantees that a purchaser of a Damage Waiver Coverage will have any costs of repair or replacement of the Owner's Listing waived, and there are no guarantees that an Owner will be reimbursed for any costs of repair or replacement, or any other costs.
You accept the provisions set forth within this ‘Damage Waiver Coverage’ section of the Terms and fully understand your obligations as described in the Terms.
Owners and Renters are also bound by any and all applicable terms and policies of any insurance provider, carrier, broker, or agent involved in the transaction between the Owner and the Renter. Rentls recommends that you carefully read and understand any policy documents which may apply to a rental.
