Equipment Lease.
General. As part of the Services, Audio Scrapbook agrees to lease to Customer, and Customer agrees to lease from Audio Scrapbook, the Equipment specified in Customer’s Order, subject to these Terms (the “Lease”).
Shipments; Delivery. We will arrange for the shipment of the Equipment to you to the address specified in your Order (the “Shipping Address”). You must provide us with an accurate Shipping Address so that we can timely deliver the Equipment to you. You are responsible for providing us with an accurate Shipping Address for deliveries and for keeping the Shipping Address up-to-date. If you provide us with a Shipping Address that is invalid or where you cannot securely accept the Equipment upon delivery, or if you do not keep your Shipping Address up-to-date, you are solely responsible for any resulting loss, theft, or damage to the Equipment. The Equipment shall be scheduled to arrive at the Shipping Address at least three (3) calendar days, but up to seven (7) calendar days, prior to the Event Date. We are not responsible for shipment delays caused by the respective carrier or any other factors beyond our control. We make no representations or warranties with respect to the date upon which delivery of the Equipment will occur. Any shipping or transit time estimates provided are estimates only.
Title; Risk of Loss. The Equipment is, and shall at all times be and remain, the sole and exclusive property of Audio Scrapbook and you shall have no right, title or interest therein or thereto except as expressly set forth in these Terms. Following delivery to the Shipping Address, as between you and us, you will be solely responsible for the condition of the Equipment and shall bear the entire risk of loss and damage until you return such Equipment (including while it is in return transit). If, notwithstanding your obligations in this Section 4.3, you fail to return the Equipment, the Equipment you retain is provided on an “as-is” basis without warranties of any kind, and we reserve the right to continue to seek recovery of the Equipment from you.
Return Shipments. With the delivery of the Equipment, Audio Scrapbook will provide you with pre-paid, pre-addressed packaging that you can use to return the Equipment (“Return Packaging”), as well as instructions for returning the Equipment. You agree to return the Equipment to Audio Scrapbook in the Return Packaging by the cut-off time for the respective courier on the date that is three (3) business days following your Event Date, or on the date otherwise agreed upon by Audio Scrapbook in writing (“Return Shipping Date”). Failure to timely return Equipment is a violation of these Terms, and we may block your future access to the Services, charge your Payment Method for late fees and/or take other legal action, in our sole discretion.
Returning by Mail. If you use the Return Packaging that we provide, you must use the shipping carrier specified on the pre-paid shipping label included with the Return Packaging. We will not be responsible for loss, theft, or damage to Equipment that is shipped back to us using any courier other than the courier that is specified on our Return Packaging, or for any fees or expenses that you incur due to delays in Audio Scrapbook receiving the Equipment. We do not ship Equipment outside of the United States, and you may not return Equipment to us from outside of the United States without our prior written permission. In the event that you lose or damage the Return Packaging that we provide, you will be responsible for returning the Equipment to us in your own packaging, at your own expense.
Couriers. We may from time to time engage third-party couriers (“Couriers”) to facilitate delivery of Equipment. Couriers are independent contractors and not employees, partners, agents, joint ventures, or franchisees of Audio Scrapbook. Audio Scrapbook shall not be liable or responsible for any delivery services provided by Couriers, or any errors or misrepresentations made by any of them. We highly recommend that you provide a secure location where you can physically receive Equipment (including from a Courier), and we do not bear liability for Equipment left unattended, by you, a Courier, or otherwise. You hereby acknowledge that Audio Scrapbook does not supervise, direct, control, or monitor a Courier’s provision of services. Any interactions or disputes between you and a courier are solely between you and that courier. Audio Scrapbook shall have no liability, obligation or responsibility for any interaction between you and any Courier.
Late Fees. If you fail to return ship the Equipment by the cut-off time for the respective courier on the Return Shipping Date in accordance with Section 4.4, you hereby authorize us or our Payment Processor (defined below) to charge your Payment Method (defined below) non-refundable late fees in the amount of $50 USD per day for each day that the Equipment is not return shipped after the Return Shipping Date, up to the full original retail or comparable value of the Equipment.
Use of the Equipment.
Risk of Loss and Damage. Except as otherwise set forth herein, you assume and shall bear the entire risk of loss and damage to the Equipment upon delivery of the Equipment to your Shipping Address.

If you return Equipment that is damaged beyond normal wear and tear, then you hereby authorize us (or our third-party payment processor) to charge your Payment Method (defined below) for the price for repairing or replacing the Equipment, as determined in our sole discretion, up to the original retail price for the respective Equipment.
Condition of Equipment. You acknowledge that the Equipment is in use condition and may be cosmetically flawed.
