By proceeding with any rental from Event Rent ME, LLC, the Renter agrees to the following terms and conditions:

1. Assumption of Liability and Responsibility

The Renter assumes full responsibility and liability for the rented equipment from the time of delivery or pickup to the time of return or retrieval. This includes responsibility for any and all loss, theft, damage, misuse, or injury caused by or arising from the use or possession of the equipment, except as limited by Maine law for claims involving gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Renter is solely responsible for ensuring that the equipment is used in a safe and appropriate manner by themselves, their guests, event participants, third-party vendors, and the venue. Event Rent ME, LLC assumes no liability for the actions or omissions of any third party, including guests, staff, or venue personnel.

2. Use of Equipment and Assumption of Risk

The Renter agrees to use all equipment solely for its intended purpose and in accordance with any instructions provided by Event Rent ME, LLC. Instructions for proper use are provided at delivery, pickup, or on Event Rent ME, LLC’s website, and the Renter is responsible for reviewing and following them. The Renter acknowledges that improper use of the equipment—including but not limited to misuse, failure to follow setup procedures, placement on uneven or unstable surfaces, or overloading—may result in serious injury or property damage. The Renter further understands and accepts that even proper use carries inherent risks, including potential bodily injury or strain, and voluntarily assumes all such risks. Event Rent ME, LLC makes no representations or warranties as to the safety of the equipment under specific conditions or use cases.

3. Cleaning, Damage, and Replacement

All rented items must be returned in clean and good condition, normal wear and tear excepted. Unless the Renter has purchased a cleaning service from Event Rent ME, LLC, they are responsible for cleaning all equipment prior to return.
If any items are returned excessively dirty or soiled, Event Rent ME, LLC reserves the right to charge a cleaning fee to the card on file, based on a fee schedule provided at booking or reasonable market rates.
If any equipment is returned damaged, missing, or in a condition deemed beyond repair, the Renter agrees to pay the full cost of replacement based on reasonable market value, as determined solely by Event Rent ME, LLC.
Fees may be charged at the company’s discretion and are not limited to visible damage; any misuse or neglect resulting in loss of future usability will be treated as irreversible damage.

4. Insurance and Venue Responsibility

Event Rent ME, LLC strongly recommends that Renters obtain appropriate event liability insurance to protect against loss, damage, or injury arising from the use of rented equipment. The Renter remains fully responsible for all equipment and its use at the venue. The Renter agrees to actively supervise the use of equipment by all parties at the venue to ensure safe and proper use, including the conduct of guests, vendors, and venue staff.

5. Indemnification and Release of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by Maine law, the Renter agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Event Rent ME, LLC, its owners, employees, agents, affiliates, and contractors from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, injuries, expenses, and legal fees arising out of or resulting from the use, misuse, or failure to properly secure or supervise the equipment.
This includes claims arising from the ordinary negligence of Event Rent ME, LLC, its agents, or employees, but does not include claims arising from gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Event Rent ME, LLC shall not be held liable for any injury, accident, loss of property, or damages of any kind related to the rental or use of its equipment, except as prohibited by Maine law.
