Introduction: This agreement sets forth the terms and conditions under which you may use the Leadfoot Rentals (the "Site"). By accessing or using the Site, you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions set forth in this agreement. If you do not wish to be bound by these terms and conditions, you may not access or use the Site.
Services Offered:
The Site offers the rental of trailers. Rentals are non-refundable and cannot be returned for a refund.
Deposits:
In addition to securing the payment of rental charges hereunder, Customer agrees that any rental deposit shall be deemed to be a guarantee by Customer of the full and complete performance of each and all of the terms of this Agreement to be performed by Customer. In the event of any breach by Customer, the deposit will be credited against any damages, cost or expense incurred by Leadfoot as a result of the breach.
PAYMENT: All amounts due hereunder shall be payable in full within 30 days of receipt of invoice by Customer. Customer acknowledges that timely payment of rental and service charges is essential to Leadfoot’s business operations and it would be impractical and extremely difficult to fix the actual damages caused by late payment. Customer and Leadfoot agree that there shall be added to all past due rental charges a late payment fee equal to the lesser of two percent (2%) per month (24% per annum) on any such payments outstanding after 30 days, or the maximum amount allowed by applicable law. Rental rates do not include sales tax, goods and services tax or other taxes, levies and assessments required to be collected by Leadfoot from Customer at any time upon, or in respect of, the Equipment and/or the Agreement (collectively, “Taxes”). Customer agrees that Leadfoot reserves the right to charge the Credit Card and/or Customer’s account for any amount owed by Customer pursuant to this section due to late or past due payment(s) or rental charges or Taxes. In the event Customer asserts
that a transaction is exempt from Taxes, Customer agrees to provide a valid tax exemption certificate. Should the transaction later be deemed taxable, Customer is obligated to reimburse Leadfoot for any Tax assessed that was attributable to Customer.
Late return:
Customer agrees that if the Equipment is not returned by the end of the Rental Period, or if the Equipment is not in the condition specified by this Agreement when Leadfoot comes to the Customer site to pick up the Equipment, Leadfoot, in its sole discretion, may require Customer to do any of the following: (A) continue to pay the rental rate(s) applicable to the Equipment as specified in the Agreement; (B) for periods less than 24 hours, pay the full daily rental
rate applicable to the Equipment; (C) pay any increased rental rate(s) in effect at the time of, or after, the expiration of the Rental Period; or (D) assess a pickup charge if the Tanks are not in the empty condition in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Customer agrees that Leadfoot reserves the right to charge
the Credit Card, and/or Customer’s account for any amount owed by Customer pursuant to this section due to late return of Equipment.
Rental charges commence when the Equipment leaves the Store Location and ends on the calendar day following the date on which the Equipment is either returned to the Store Location during Leadfoot’s Regular Business Hours or collected by Leadfoot following a notification from the Customer to Leadfoot during Regular Business Hours that the Equipment is “off rent” and obtains an “off rent” confirmation number from Leadfoot. Rental charges will continue to accrue until Equipment is properly cleaned in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and made available for collection.
Pick-up and Delivery:
Pick-up and delivery by Leadfoot is subject to a “Delivery and Pick-up Service Charge,” the amount(s) of which are disclosed on the Rental and Service
Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding sentence, for the rental of Tanks, the rental period continues until Customer has emptied the Tanks of all contents and cleaned the Tanks in accordance with all applicable regulations, and all other terms of this Agreement. Rental charges do not include
the cost of the Refueling Service Charge, any applicable Taxes (as defined below), the Delivery and Pickup Service Charge, transportation surcharges, the cost of any applicable environmental service charge or other miscellaneous charges, the amount(s) of which are disclosed on the Rental and Service Agreement.
Availability:
Trailers are available on a first-come, first-served basis and subject to availability. The Site does not guarantee the availability of any specific trailer.

Customer agrees to: (i) check filters, oil, fluid levels and tire air pressure; (ii) clean and visually inspect the Equipment daily; and immediately cease using the Equipment and immediately notify Leadfoot if Equipment needs repair or maintenance. Customer acknowledges that Leadfoot has no responsibility to inspect the Equipment while it is in Customer’s possession. Leadfoot shall have the right to replace the Equipment with other reasonably similar equipment at any time and for any reason.
Should the Equipment be involved in an accident, become unsafe, malfunction or require repair, Customer shall immediately cease using the Equipment and immediately notify Leadfoot. If such condition is the result of normal operation, Leadfoot will repair or replace the Equipment with reasonably-similar Equipment in working order, if such replacement Equipment is available. Leadfoot has no obligation to repair or replace Equipment rendered inoperable by misuse, abuse, neglect or any other use of the Equipment in breach of this Agreement by Customer. Customer’s sole remedy for any failure or defect in Equipment shall be the termination of any rental charges accruing after the time of failure.
