Rental Agreement General Terms and Conditions

1. RENTAL: Trinity Power Corporation (“Trinity”) rents the personal property (“Equipment”) described in the attached Rental Agreement (“Rental Agreement”) to Customer. The Rental Agreement and these General Terms and Conditions are together defined as the Agreement. Trinity and Customer are together defined as the Parties.

2. RENTAL PERIOD: The rental period starts upon the shipment of the Equipment to Customer and shall terminate when Equipment is returned to Trinity.

3. AMOUNTS PAYABLE: Customer shall pay Trinity the rent plus applicable taxes plus Additional Charges (as defined below) for the duration of the rental period as follows:

  1. The rent for the Equipment is specified in the Rental Agreement. If the rent is not specified or if Equipment is substituted, the rent is equal to market rates.
  2. Customer shall pay rent and Additional Charges by direct deposit/electronic fund transfer, cheque, or credit card (an additional 3% service fee shall apply). If credit card information is supplied, Customer agrees to allow Trinity to charge Customer’s credit card for all rent, taxes, and Additional Charges and fees upon being invoiced.
  3. Customer shall pay rent on a weekly (defined as 7 days) or monthly (defined as 28 days) basis, as specified in the Agreement, without any discount if the Equipment is returned to Trinity before the end of each weekly or monthly period. Customer shall pay a minimum of one week or one month rental (as applicable).
  4. Where a minimum rental length (or guaranteed period) is specified in the Rental Agreement, Customer shall pay the full amount of rent for the entire period specified without any discount if the Equipment is returned to Trinity before the end of such period. After the minimum rental length, section 3(c) shall apply.
  5. The rent due and owing shall not be reduced or deducted for any reason.
  6. Additional Charges shall be payable immediately upon receipt and are defined as charges, fees, assessments, rates, repair costs, expenses, damages, loss, and costs incurred or suffered by Trinity resulting from Customer’s obligations under this Agreement, and any other amounts owing by Customer under this Agreement, including all license fees, encumbrances, and assessments imposed on the rental.

Trinity may require Customer to pay an advance deposit to be applied to the rent and any other amounts owing to Trinity. Time is of the essence of this Agreement.
