Payments must be paid in full at the time equipment is reserved. Payments can be made in person or by phone with a credit card only. Cancellations must be made 24 hours prior to equipment pick-up time. Canceled reservations will be assessed a $5 processing fee for reservations canceled at least 24 hours before pick-up time. No refund will be available with less than a 24 hour notice. Refunds may be in the form of a check from the university and may take up to six weeks to process.
Deposits
Deposits are required for all equipment rentals. Deposits are not cashed unless the equipment is damaged, lost, or you are assessed a late fee. Renters are responsible for the full retail replacement cost of lost, stolen or damaged items. Deposits can be in the form of a check or a credit card, cash is not accepted.
Late fees
Late fees begin the day after the equipment is due back. Renters are charged the “day” rate for each day (bike rentals will be charged 1/2 the semester rate each week) the equipment is late and continue to accrue until the equipment is returned.
Damaged or lost equipment
Renters will be charged for repair and shipping of damaged equipment or the full retail replacement cost for lost or stolen equipment. Cleaning fees are charged for returning dirty or wet equipment. Cleaning fees and repair fees are dependent upon the article of equipment.
Refunds
