under this Agreement including, but not limited to, the safeguarding of the Equipment and its timely return to Cool

replacement value, which includes all costs of procurement, parts, labour and transportation associated with the

satisfactory to Cool Air. Customer is required to provide valid insurance documentation prior to the rental start

to Cool Air, on demand, the full value of any such damage. Should the Equipment be lost, destroyed or rendered
inoperable due to any cause whatsoever during the Rental Period the Customer covenants to pay to Cool Air,
immediately upon demand, an amount equal to the Value of the Equipment.
14. DAMAGE WAIVER. Cool Air may, but is not required, to offer to the Customer prior to the start of the
Rental Period a damage waiver for an additional daily charge. If Cool Air offers a damage waiver and the Customer
accepts it then an additional charge will show Charge Summary attached to this Agreement, and as a result of the
Customer’s acceptance Cool Air will reduce the Customer responsibilities for loss of, or damage to, the Equipment
subject to the following, for which Customer shall be fully responsible:
(a) The difference between 10% of the value of the loss or damage and the damage waiver cost invoiced to
the Customer from any cause other than those losses or damages to each item of the Equipment as set
out in sections b, c, d, e, f and g below, for which Customer shall be fully responsible and liable;
(b) Loss or damage resulting from overloading or exceeding the rated capacity of the Equipment;
(c) Loss or damage to motors or other electrical appliances or devices caused by artificial electrical current;

other person to whom the Equipment is entrusted;
(f) Use of the Equipment in violation of any term of this Agreement;
(g) The Customer further agrees that Company shall be subrogated for any recovery rights that Customer may
have for damage to the Equipment rented hereunder, in the form of insurance protection for such
damage.
A damage waiver is not insurance. If the Customer has insurance covering loss or damages relating to transactions
such as its rental of the Equipment then the Customer shall diligently exercise every available right and take all
action necessary to process any claim it may be entitled to make as a result of damage incurred to the Equipment
during the Rental Period. The Customer further covenants to assign to Cool Air all its rights under any such claim,
and to pay to Cool Air any and all proceeds payable to it as a result of having made the claim. Prior to the start of
the Rental Period the Customer shall furnish to Cool Air the name of its insurance agent and insurance company, all
additional information requested by Cool Air relating to the Customer’s insurance coverage. Cool Air’s waiver of the
claims against Customer in accordance with this section 14 is contingent upon Customer having obtained a police
report where applicable, and provided a copy to Cool Air.
15. REPAIRS OR REPLACEMENT: If the Equipment becomes unsafe, malfunctions or requires repair, the
Customer must immediately (i) cease using the Equipment and (ii) immediately notify Cool Air in writing of the
problems with the Equipment. Upon receiving such notice Cool Air will, at its sole discretion, determine whether to
either repair the Equipment or replace it with Equipment which is substantially the same as that originally issued to
the Customer. Cool Air has no obligation to repair or replace Equipment which is damaged or rendered inoperable
for any reason other than due to the normal operation of the Equipment including, without limitation, damage
resulting from a breach by the Customer of this Agreement, or misuse of the Equipment, or the acts or omissions of
either the Customer or any other person. If the Equipment becomes damaged or requires any repair, the Customer
hereby authorizes Cool Air to make such repairs, and covenants to pay to Cool Air at the prevailing price for the
cost of the repairs, other than repairs required to remedy normal wear and tear. Cool Air may apply any payment
received from the Customer firstly, to any handling charges or repair charges or to any other charges accruing
under this Agreement for services which Cool Air is obliged to advance or to make, in priority to applying it to the
payment of the Rental Fee. The Customer acknowledges and agrees that it is required to pay the Rental Fee to Cool
Air for each period of time during which the Equipment undergoes repair.
Should the Customer (i) erroneously inform Cool Air that the Equipment unit isn’t operating properly, (ii) the
Customer requests that replacement Equipment be delivered to the Site in lieu of Cool Air providing
troubleshooting services (in person or electronically) to remedy the problem, and (iii) following an inspection of the
returned Equipment Cool Air determines that it was in fact operating properly, then the Customer will be
responsible for all shipping costs relating to the delivery by Cool Air of the replacement Equipment to the Site.
16. RETURN OF EQUIPMENT: The Customer, at it sole expense, will return to Cool Air the Equipment in the
same or better condition as it was received by the Customer at the start of the Rental Period, less reasonable wear
and tear. “Reasonable Wear and Tear” in respect of the Equipment means deterioration of the Equipment caused
by ordinary and reasonable use, or from any additional amount of use to which Cool Air in writing has agreed in
advance. Cool Air reserves the right to refuse acceptance of equipment returned in either dirty or damaged
condition and for rental charges to continue to accrue until the Customer returns the Equipment in state
acceptable to Cool Air. Cool air also reserves the right to levy additional charges for reconditioning Equipment
which has been improperly maintained by the Customer.
17. TERMINATION: If the Customer fails to pay any installment of rent for a period of thirty (30) days after the
due date, or becomes bankrupt or insolvent, or violates any provision of this Agreement, or if the Equipment is
levied upon or becomes liable to seizure then Cool Air may, at its option, terminate this Agreement without notice
to the Customer. Cool Air will have the right to take possession of the Equipment without becoming liable for
trespass, and may recover all rent due under this Agreement, and may recover full compensation for any damages
sustained by the Equipment and for all expenses incurred by Cool Air in retaking possession of the Equipment. If
Cool Air terminates this Agreement pursuant to this clause, the Customer has no further rights under this
Agreement. If Cool Air takes any legal steps to enforce the terms of this Agreement the Customer agrees that it is
liable to pay to Cool Air, in addition to the costs and disbursements provided by statute, all of its reasonable legal
fees incurred as a result of such action.
18. VALIDITY: If any term or condition of this Agreement is deemed to be invalid or unenforceable, the validity
or enforceability of the remaining terms and conditions shall not be affected, and this Agreement shall be
construed as if the offending term or condition had not formed a part of this Agreement. The Customer further
agrees that Cool Air may terminate this Agreement at any time and demand return of rented equipment and
payment in full of all rentals owing.
19. PAYMENT: Provided that the Customer has received written approval from Cool Air to do so, the Customer
shall pay all charges within 30 days of the date upon which Cool Air has issued its invoice to the Customer. In the
absence of any such approval, payment of Rental Charges for the Rental Period is due and payable on the date
upon which the Equipment has been delivered to the Customer, or upon any other date as directed by Cool Air.
Interest on overdue accounts will be charged at the rate of 2% per month (26.82% per annum). Should the
Customer wish to dispute the amount of any invoice then notice of the dispute must be provided to Cool Air with in
21 days of the date issuance of the invoice.

expenses suffered by Cool Air in respect of any injury (including death) to any person (including the Customer) or
damage to any property (including, but not limited to, property of the Customer) arising out of the use by any
person of the Equipment.
21. COMPANY’S REPRESENTATION: Cool Air represents and warrants that the Equipment supplied to the
Customer is delivered in good working order. Notwithstanding that fact the Customer acknowledges and agrees
that Cool Air is in no way responsible for the engineering in connection with the Equipment or the results, both
