Damage & Loss Policy

Damaged equipment

We understand even with a careful use, unavoidable wear will come with usage, even though the equipment we carry is of high quality and designed to last a long time. With that in mind, rips, and tears, stains and missing parts, burn holes, and dents, etc. are damages Tripshed will have to charge for.

Loss or Damage

You are the insurer of the Equipment during the Rental Term. You bear all risk of loss, theft, damage or destruction to the Equipment, regardless of cause (ordinary wear and tear expected). If the Equipment is lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed during the Rental Term, whether or not the same is Your fault, You will notify Us immediately, and You will pay Tripshed the retail value of the parts and labor necessary to repair the Equipment if damaged, or its replacement cost, if lost, stolen, destroyed or damaged beyond Our reasonable ability to repair it; and in either case, all packing, shipping, handling, storage and other associated costs.  Rent previously paid will not be applied to the above-referenced charges.
