10. Using LENDDIT
10.1 How it Works
Owners start by creating a listing of their Equipment and setting a rental price. Renters rent the Equipment from the Owners and pay the rental price multiplied the number of days, plus taxes and fees, if applicable (âRental Feeâ). LENDDIT collects the Rental Fee and deducts a fee of the gross rental price (the âCommissionâ). Within thirty (30) days of collecting the Rental Fee, LENDDIT may pay the Owner (a) the Rental Fee minus the commission, taxes, and other fees on a rolling basis (b) if the rental is longer than 15 days, LENDDIT has the option to pay the Owner on a prorated amount on a rolling basis determined by LENDDIT. The Commission is calculated at a rate of 0-100% of the Rental Fee, with a minimum Commission of Five Dollars ($5). Owners pay the processing fee, if applicable (âTransaction Feeâ), to process the payment from Renters. Payment to Owners will be made only by ACH through the payment account setup by Owner at the time of registering for an account or modified thereafter by Owner. LENDDIT is not responsible for any errors in the event that Owner enters the wrong bank account information. In the event any money is sent to the wrong account, it will be the Ownerâs responsibility to contact the financial institution and determine where the money went and to request a refund to LENDDIT. Once LENDDIT receives any refund, LENDDIT will then, and only then, remit the payment to Owner again to the correct account.
10.2 Prohibited Equipment
LENDDIT reserves the right to prohibit any types of equipment, or any specific piece of equipment, at any time and without notice, from being listed on the Platform. LENDDIT may, from time to time, prohibit new or different equipment that may have previously been allowed. Some types of generally prohibited equipment include, but are not limited to: Automobiles; motorized boats; any other type of equipment or vehicle that is titled; any vehicle or piece of equipment that requires a special license to operate; firearms of any kind; inherently dangerous equipment, such as explosives, pyrotechnic equipment, fireworks or fireworks equipment; blasting equipment (or any equipment associated with blasting in any way); wrecking balls; items of a personal nature; disposable equipment or supplies; clothing (exception of technical suits and gear); SCUBA or diving apparatus, including air tanks; Equipment illegal anywhere in the United States; real property or premises of any kind, including storage spaces, office space, temporary or permanent living quarters; aircraft, rockets or launch equipment; sex toys or sexually oriented equipment; or medical equipment. Whether an item is prohibited or not is completely within the discretion of LENDDIT.
10.3 Rental Agreement
By using this Site, Owners and Renters agree to the Rental Agreement (âEquipment Rental Agreementâ) provided by LENDDIT. The Rental Agreement will contain the price, dates, delivery time and method, return time and method, and any special instructions. You agree that the Rental Agreement is a contract purely between you and the other party (Owner or Renter) and that LENDDIT is NOT a party to the Rental Agreement. The language and delivery of the Rental Agreement is provided by the Platform purely for convenience and does not create an obligation or right of LENDDIT or create any liability or participation in the transaction. By providing the rental Agreement, LENDDIT is not providing any legal advice but is merely facilitating the transaction with standardized forms.
10.4 Refunds
If a piece of Equipment is faulty, broken, in disrepair, or does not work as intended, or Equipment is not delivered in a timely manner, Please contact us at support@lenddit.com. Claims must be made within three (3) days of the occurrence of the issue for which you are requesting a refund. LENDDIT retains sole discretion in issuing refunds.
10.5 Late Returns
Equipment returned more than four (4) hours late will be assessed a late return penalty equal to one (1) additional day at the daily rate (not weekly or better rate). A late charge may be waived in the discretion of the Owner. In situations in which a return requires an Owner to travel to the Renter, no late penalty will be charged to the Renter if the Owner does not arrive in a timely manner or elects to pick up the equipment at a later date or time, so long as the Renter has the equipment at the place of pickup at the arranged time of pickup.
10.6 Damage to Equipment
Renters should visually inspect the equipment with Owners 1) upon delivery or pickup and 2) at return. Both parties should document the condition of all Equipment in writing and photographs at delivery. Any claims for damage, broken or nonworking equipment, or refunds, should be made in writing by emailing support@lenddit.com and clearly identifying the listing, rental, rate, dates, and circumstances where indicated. All claims for any reason must be brought to our attention within fourteen (14) days of the date of occurrence of the incident giving rise to a claim.
10.7 Dangers of Using Equipment
Some Equipment listed on the Platform has the potential to be dangerous. By renting, paying for, or taking delivery of Equipment, you are representing to LENDDIT and the Owner that you possess the knowledge, skill, training, or experience to operate the Equipment, or that you will gain the required knowledge, skill, training, or experience to operate the Equipment before you use it. LENDDIT is not responsible for damages, harm, or injuries that result by Your improper or unqualified use of any Equipment.
10.8 Discrimination
You agree not to discriminate who you rent to or rent from on the basis of race, ethnicity, language, religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, or gender identity or expression. We reserve the right to enforce our policies regarding discrimination at our discretion, up to and including being banned from the Platform.
10.9 Disqualification; Illegal Activity, Cooperation with Authorities
LENDDIT reserves the right to refuse or terminate our Services to anyone for any reason at our discretion to the full extent permitted under applicable law.
If we make a reasonable determination that illegal activity has occurred in connection with the Services or Platform, we will report such suspected activity to the proper law enforcement authorities. In instances in which illegal activity is reported but unproven or mistaken, whether through diligence, negligence, gross negligence, or for any other reason, you specifically waive Your right to bring a civil or criminal action against LENDDIT for reporting the activity to law enforcement authorities, to the fullest extent allowed by law.
LENDDIT cooperates with Law Enforcement Authorities in their investigations. To the extent required by law, we will provide information requested under a properly issued subpoena or other court order to produce information, including information about users, personal information, cookies, data, usage history and audit trails, and information regarding specific transactions. By interacting with the Site, you agree that any information provided or created by Your interactions with the Site or other users may be produced to law enforcement authorities or other parties upon criminal or civil requests, in accordance with the law.
LENDDIT will not be responsible and disclaims any responsibility for failure to act or failure to identify improper listings or stolen equipment. If you believe a piece of equipment listed on the Platform is stolen, please contact the appropriate authorities.
