New York Camera & Video Rental Policies

The renter accepts full responsibility for any loss or damage of the equipment rented or otherwise
loaned.  A deposit for the full replacement value of the equipment, usually in the form of a credit
card authorization or cash, is required unless other arrangements are made. Any insurance
required for use of the equipment is the responsibility of the renter and proof of such coverage
may be required at the time of rental. This proof of insurance is required to be a certificate of
insurance for the rental equipment naming NYCV as the payee in the event of loss or damage.
A valid driver’s license is required for identification.

New York Camera & Video’s liability is limited to the rental charges for any loss resulting from
the use or malfunctioning of equipment rented. New York Camera & Video will provide brief
instruction in the operation of the equipment rented if the renter inquires but is not responsible
for complete training in the proper use of the equipment. The renter is responsible for using the
equipment properly and New York Camera & Video will not issue any refunds in the case of loss
resulting from improper use of the equipment.

A one day rental may be picked up the day before and returned the day after the day the
equipment will be used. For example, if you need the equipment Wednesday, you may pick it up
Tuesday after 10am and return it Thursday before 7pm.  In this way our "one day" rental is like what
most rental sources would consider a three day rental.  Sundays and holidays when the store is
closed are not counted as rental days. One day rentals picked up on Friday may be returned
Monday for the one day charge.

Weekly rentals are based on seven full days. For example, equipment picked up Monday after
10am may be returned the next Monday before 7pm for a weekly rental. Weekly rental charges
are generally calculated as twice the one day charge unless noted otherwise. Additional charges
apply to rentals returned after the due date on this form.

Equipment that uses rechargeable batteries includes a battery and spare if noted in the price list.
For equipment that uses non-rechargeable batteries, please see notes with the specific
equipment in the price list.

Equipment that uses light bulbs, such as slide projectors or strobes with modeling lights, will
generally include a spare bulb. If it becomes necessary to use the spare bulb in the course of the
rental because the one in the equipment burns out there will be no additional charge for it if the
burned out bulb is returned along with equipment. If a bulb is broken in the course of the rental
there will be a charge for it’s replacement at it’s current retail price in the store. Spare bulbs for
video projectors and flash tubes for strobes are not included with rented equipment.

Making reservations for rentals at least one week before pickup is suggested. Rental equipment,
especially equipment that has not been reserved is subject to availability at the time of rental.
