Lessee’s acceptance of these terms and conditions shall be made by either (a) Lessee providing a purchase order number to Lessor or (b) Lessee’s acceptance of any equipment from Lessor, whichever occurs first.
- Availability, Acceptance and Governing Provisions. All equipment rentals are subject to availability of equipment at time of order. No orders for equipment rental machines or products of The Production Fox shall be binding upon Lessor until accepted in writing by an authorized official; and in all events any such order shall be subject to these terms and conditions which shall be deemed part of such order upon acceptance thereof by Lessor. No additional agreements will be binding upon Lessor unless specifically agreed to in writing. Failure of Lessor to object to provisions contained in any purchase order or other communication from a Lessee shall not be construed as a waiver of these terms and conditions, nor an acceptance of any such provisions.

- Rental Period. The rental period begins on the day of shipment from the originating rental facility, and ends on the day of the equipments return to the originating facility.

Lessee further acknowledges that it has examined the equipment and declares that it has received all of such equipment in secure and good working condition.
