B. Specific Rental Conditions

RENTAL FEE. The rental fee (“Rental Fee”) for any Product will be the total of the rental fee, insurance charges and delivery charges listed on the Site or App for your rental of the Product. When you place your rental order for a Product, you hereby authorize TABLE + TEASPOON to charge your payment card for the Rental Fee. TABLE + TEASPOON will charge your payment card the amount of the Rental Fee immediately upon your rental order. A reservation of a Product on the Site or in the Showroom is an order for the rental of that Product, regardless of how far in advance that Product is reserved. In addition, at the time of your rental order for a Product, you hereby authorize TABLE + TEASPOON to charge your payment card for an amount equal to 200% of the original retail value of the Product (when new, contact TABLE + TEASPOON via info@tableandteaspoon.com for the retail value of a specific product) plus applicable sales taxes; provided that TABLE + TEASPOON will only charge your payment card for an amount greater than the Rental Fee as described below. Rental Fees exclude all federal, state and local taxes, GST, fees, customs, duties, levies and other governmental assessments, all of which shall be paid by you directly or, if paid by TABLE + TEASPOON, shall be paid by you to TABLE + TEASPOON in connection with your rental order.

CANCELLATION POLICY. You may cancel your rental order subject to the following cancellation fees and policies: 

1. If you cancel thirty (30) or more days in advance of the delivery date, there is no cancellation fee and you will receive a full refund issued to the payment card you used for the order.
2. If you cancel less than thirty (30) days but more than fourteen (14) days in advance of the delivery date, you will not receive any refund, but you will receive a full credit to your TABLE + TEASPOON account for the Rental Fee associated with the cancelled order. This credit can be applied to any future TABLE + TEASPOON rental.
3. You may not cancel fourteen (14) or fewer days in advance of the delivery date.

RETURN PACKAGING. With delivery of the Product, TABLE + TEASPOON will provide you with a pre-paid, pre-addressed TABLE + TEASPOON carrying case (patents pending), as well as instructions for your use in returning the Products to TABLE + TEASPOON (“Return Packaging”). The TABLE + TEASPOON carrying case is not yours to keep. If the TABLE + TEASPOON carrying case is not returned you will be charged a $200 fee (details below under “Lost Return Packaging”).

RECEIPT OF THE PRODUCTS. Upon delivery, you bear responsibility for the Product(s). You acknowledge that a Secure Shipping Address is highly recommended. A “Secure Shipping Address” means a location where an individual can physically receive Product(s). In the event that an un-secure shipping address is provided, TABLE + TEASPOON does not bear liability for Products left unattended. Furthermore, you acknowledge that providing anything other than a Secure Shipping Address may result in delivery delays and additional delivery fees for which TABLE + TEASPOON will not be liable. You will be liable for all such delays and additional delivery fees.

USE OF THE PRODUCTS. By renting Products from TABLE + TEASPOON you agree that it is for a legitimate purpose and not to engage in unfair and/or illegal business activities or competition. You agree to treat the Products with great care, as if it was borrowed from your family or close friend. You are responsible for loss, destruction or damage to the Products due to theft, mysterious disappearance, fire, major stains or any other cause, other than normal wear and tear. Normal wear and tear encompasses minor stains, scratches, or other minor damage that is easily and inexpensively repaired. If you return a Product that is damaged beyond normal wear and tear, then you agree that we shall charge you, and you shall pay, for the price for repairing or replacing the Product, as determined in our discretion, up to the Retail Value (when new, contact TABLE + TEASPOON via info@tableandteaspoon.com for the retail value of a specific product) for the Product.

RETURN OF THE PRODUCTS; EXTENSIONS. You agree to return the Products to TABLE + TEASPOON in the Return Packaging on or before the return date for the Products that are identified in the online invoice for your order. You may extend your order for a Product on the Site or by phone to TABLE + TEASPOON; provided that any extensions are subject to other orders for that Product and to pre-payment of the additional Rental Fee applicable to that Product for the period of time of the extension. You must return the Product by delivering the Product in the Return Packaging to a UPS store located in the United States by 12 p.m. on or before the date that the Product is due.

LATE FEES. If you return the Products late or not at all, a late fee of $50.00 will be charged to the payment card you used to pay the Rental Fee or to any other payment card included in your account information that you have provided to TABLE + TEASPOON for every day that you are late returning the Products, and you agree to pay such late fees, up to an amount not to exceed 200% of the Retail Value plus applicable sales tax (plus the Rental Fee). The late fee is payable for each order of Products that is not returned when due, not for each Product that is the subject of the order that is late. If you have not returned a Product within ten (10) days after the return date for the Product, your late return will be considered a non-return and TABLE + TEASPOON will charge your payment card the maximum late fee set forth in this Section 2(B), less any late fees that you have already paid, plus applicable sales tax as a Penalty.

PAYMENT OF 200% RENTAL VALUE TABLE + TEASPOON will not charge you for more than an amount equal to 200% of the Retail Value plus the Rental Fee, in the aggregate, for any charges arising under this Section 2(B), excluding collection costs. If you pay TABLE + TEASPOON an amount equal to 200% of the Retail Value under this Section 2(B) and you still possess the Product, the Product is yours to keep, though on an “AS IS” basis without warranty of any kind. For the avoidance of doubt, the limitations of this clause shall not apply to the Rental Fee, which is charged separately from, and in addition to, any other charges payable by you pursuant to this Section 2(B).

LOST RETURN PACKAGING. If you lose the Return Packaging, you will be responsible for returning the item at your own expense by the expected return date, and providing TABLE + TEASPOON with a tracking number. Also, if you lose or fail to return the TABLE + TEASPOON carrying case you will be charged $200. If you still possess the TABLE + TEASPOON carrying case, it is yours to keep, though on an “AS IS” basis without warranty of any kind. For the avoidance of doubt, the limitations of this clause shall not apply to the Rental Fee, which is charged separately from, and in addition to, any other charges payable by you pursuant to this Section 2(B).

LIMITED WARRANTIES. The following are the limited warranties TABLE + TEASPOON provides in connection with Product rentals. TABLE + TEASPOON’s liability to you for failure to comply with any of these warranties is limited to timely delivery of Product conforming to the warranties or a refund of the Rental Fee (excluding insurance and delivery charges) as determined by TABLE + TEASPOON. See Section 7(A) below.

CORRECT PRODUCTS. We will deliver the Products you ordered, including the specified quantity and design, on or before the delivery date for which you ordered them, except in the rare event that the Product is damaged beyond repair or is otherwise unavailable.

YOU HEREBY AGREE TO GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT to assert or defend your rights under this contract, except for matters that may be taken to small claims court.

(c) Conduct of Arbitration. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single neutral arbitrator under JAMS’ Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures. For claims exceeding $5,000.00, the arbitration shall be conducted under JAMS’ Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures Subject to the applicable JAMS procedure, the arbitrator shall allow reasonable discovery in the forms permitted by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, to the extent consistent with the purpose of the arbitration. The arbitrator(s) shall have no power or authority to amend or disregard any provision of this section or any other provision of these Terms of Service, except as necessary to comply with JAMS’ Policy on Consumer Arbitrations Pursuant to Pre-Dispute Clauses Minimum Standards of Procedural Fairness. The arbitration hearing shall be commenced promptly and conducted expeditiously.

(d) Findings and Conclusions. The arbitrator(s) shall, after reaching judgment and award, prepare and distribute to the parties written findings of fact and conclusions of law relevant to such judgment and award and containing an opinion setting forth the reasons for the giving or denial of any award.

(f) Litigation. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to this Agreement.

If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, we each waive any right to a jury trial.
