YOU UNDERSTAND THAT RANNSAK IS NOT THE EQUIPMENT OWNER OR RENTER IN ANY TRANSACTION. You, as a Equipment Owner and/or Renter, assume, agree, and understand that you assume and bear all of the risks associated with selling or purchasing Items and/or services on the Service.

Associated Fees and Pricing. While there is no fee to register for the Service, RANNSAK does charge specific fees for certain transactions as set forth in the Fee Policy which can be found in Section 11.g of this agreement. All fee amounts are in US dollars.

Prohibited items. RANNSAK expressly forbids the listing, sale, and/or rental of any Item/service that is illegal to sell under any applicable federal, state, or municipal law, statute, or ordinance, including, without limitation, Items listed in our Prohibited Items Policy.

You agree to not provide any items which have been illegally and/or improperly modified. You agree to regularly inspect and check your items for any defects in its operations or safety. Should RANNSAK determine that your item is not sufficiently safe for use, RANNSAK reserves the right to remove your item from the Platform. You agree to not cancel a booking for the exclusive purpose of obtaining a higher price from a different Renter. Equipment Owner maintains the right to change the item’s pricing as Equipment Owner chooses, although not while the item is out for rent. RANNSAK will pay the Equipment Owner the amount collected from the Renter, less the applicable fees payable to RANNSAK. The FEE POLICY is described in greater detail in section 11(g) of this agreement.

Renter. You agree that you are solely responsible for reading about and reviewing the item listing before making an offer to the Equipment Owner or deciding to rent the item from the Equipment Owner. You agree to exercise reasonable care in your use of the item, operating the item in compliance with all applicable laws. THE CONTRACT TO RENT THE ITEM IS BETWEEN YOU AND THE EQUIPMENT OWNER, not RANNSAK. It is incumbent on you to complete a visual inspection of the item/s before taking possession of the item. In the event that you find damage in your inspection, it is incumbent on you to take photos of such pre-existing damage and upload said images to RANNSAK. Should you find damage but fail to report it, it will be assumed that such damage DID NOT exist prior to your engagement with the item.

Rental. Once an Equipment Owner accepts an offer from a Renter, it is considered to be a Rental, and the two parties have entered into a legally binding contract. Upon renting an item for Rent, the Renter must remit payment for the item and RANNSAK. RANNSAK is not an auctioneer, nor is it a Renter, nor a Equipment Owner, nor a carrier. RANNSAK reserves the right to delay and/or suspend any Rental for purposes of fraud detection or to protect users from suspected illegal or otherwise wrongful activities. All Rentals are final. Returns, refunds, cancellations, or retractions are not allowed, except where (a) Renter cancels an order within three (3) days of the proposed start date of the reservation, or (b) the Rental is canceled where explicitly permitted by RANNSAK or where applicable, an Equipment Owner. All Renters who cancel within 3 days of reservation start will be returned 80% of the listing cost (not including Rannsak’s Service Fee). Renters that cancel a reservation the day of or after a rental period starts will receive no refund.

Fee Policy. The general fee policy which governs the transactions on the Service operate according to the following; LISTING AN ITEM FOR RENT IS FREE. AFTER YOUR ITEM IS SELECTED, YOU SUBMIT PAYMENT FOR THE FULL FEE OF THE RENTAL PRICE OF THE ITEM. STRIPE, OUR PAYMENT PROCESSOR, WILL HOLD ALL FUNDS UNTIL THE ITEM IS RETURNED TO THE EQUIPMENT OWNER. ONCE THE ITEM IS RETURNED TO THE EQUIPMENT OWNER, RANNSAK DEDUCTS 10% OF THE FINAL PURCHASE PRICE (EXCLUDING THE TAX) AS A SERVICE FEE FROM THE EQUIPMENT OWNER AND CHARGES AN EXTRA 10% OF THE FINAL PURCHASE PRICE (EXCLUDING THE TAX) AS A SERVICE FEE TO THE EQUIPMENT RENTER. All payments will be made and processed through the STRIPE payment processing system, a well-established and encrypted payment gateway. STRIPE WILL HOLD ALL PAYMENTS MADE IN ITS OWN SECURED SERVERS WHILE THE ITEM IS “OUT-FOR-RENT”. By submitting payment through RANNSAK, you expressly agree to abide by all of the associated terms and conditions mandated by STRIPE when using their services. Upon the submission of payment information to RANNSAK, You give RANNSAK authorization to submit that information to STRIPE and with your consent and confirmation, charge You for any Items rented.

Item/s Theft. The following conduct (although not limited to the following) may result in the reporting of the item you have rented as stolen to law enforcement, potentially exposing you to arrest, and civil and/or criminal penalties:

If you fail to return the item you booked at the time and place agreed upon with the Equipment Owner and/or designated in your reservation. If you do not return the item by the end of the reservation period and you have not properly obtained an extension of the reservation through the Services as set forth here. If the item is returned to any location which is not the location agreed upon with the host.

Furthermore, a $400 case administration fee will be levied on the Renter if RANNSAK and/or the Equipment Owner has to report an Item as stolen to law enforcement due to it not being returned.

Repossession. RANNSAK and/or a hired agent of RANNSAK may repossess any item booked through the Services without demand, at the Renter's expense, should the item not be returned by the end of the reservation and/or used in violation of applicable law or these Terms. Missing Items. If an item you have booked through the Services is lost and/or is stolen during the reservation period, you must within twenty four (24) hours notify RANNSAK and the Equipment Owner of your discovery that the item has gone missing and cooperate fully with the Equipment Owner, law enforcement, RANNSAK, and other authorities in all matters related to the investigation.

Taxes. Please be aware that purchased items may be subject to all applicable taxes in your jurisdiction. RANNSAK will collect taxes from Renters on behalf of Equipment Owners when required to do so, and remit such taxes to the applicable taxing authorities on behalf of the Equipment Owners. Taxes are not included in the listed price for Items, but will be displayed before the confirmation of your purchase. Use of credits may alter taxes that apply to a Renter's order. Taxes may be estimated based on offers made on items, but are subject to change if the final sale price differs from the original offer. Taxes are based on a variety of factors, including price, location and state, local, federal or other applicable rates at time of purchase.

The Rannsak Reimbursement Program only applies to equipment rented through the Rannsak platform. The policy will not cover any third party equipment or rentals; the policy does not provide coverage to personal injury or other losses, as these are the sole responsibility of the equipment owner or equipment renter, as applicable.

In the event of having to file a claim for accidental damages, loss or theft, Rannsak reserves the rights to determine if your claim qualifies for coverage under the Rannsak Reimbursement Program. Once a decision is made, it is considered final. You may be able to submit a request for reconsideration if you are able to provide new information to support your claim or if you believe an error was made.

Prior to submitting a claim you must submit:

Submit a claims form

Up to date images of the rental equipment, showing the make, model and condition must be sent to Rannsak for review.

For damages

The owner must communicate the damage to the renter within twenty four (24) hours within the platform and submit their claim to Rannsak within the twenty four (24) hours window.

Rental equipment damages during the rental period must be reported immediately to Rannsak. Damages must be reported within twenty four (24) hours of the rental and prior to any following rental or a claim cannot be accepted due to reasonable speculation of damages acquiring between rentals.

Purchase receipt (if available)

The Rannsak Reimbursement Program requests all claims to be submitted within the twenty four (24) hours, from the end of the rental transaction. All claims submitted past the twenty four (24) hours will not be accepted. Damage claims submitted within the twenty four (24) hours have to include all requested items (see damage section).

Rannsak reserves the right to attempt to collect damages from the renters and reserves the right to do so for up to ninety (90) days before paying out any approved claims.

The owner is required to attempt using their own business insurance, homeowners, renters insurance or liability insurance [or similar] prior to submitting their claim. Only if all of those attempts fail, will the Rannsak Reimbursement Program kick in.

In the case where the Rannsak Reimbursement Program kicks in, Rannsak reserves the right to reimburse or replace the rental equipment. Rannsak also reserves the rights to pay for repairs, instead of full replacement or reimbursement. At no time will Rannsak reimbursement exceed the outlined maximum reimbursement amount.

Rannsak does not claim, suggest or state that the Rannsak Reimbursement Program is sufficient or adequate for members in most cases. All members (renters & owners) must research their own insurance needs and inquire about possible other insurance (examples: homeowners insurance, travel insurance, liability insurance, etc.) to protect their rental equipment.

UNLESS THE PARTIES AGREE OTHERWISE, THE COURT OR ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S OR PARTY’S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE COURT OR ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S).
