  2. Rental Policies

    Due Dates and Late Fees

    • All equipment is due on the date specified in the Rental Agreement Form and must be returned to the Outdoor Office during open hours.
    • Anyone may return the equipment on the renter’s behalf.
    • If equipment is returned late, an immediate fee of $20 will be charged plus an additional $1 per item per day until the equipment is returned.

    Damage and Replacement Fees

    • If any part of the equipment is damaged or lost that renders the item permanently unusable, the fee is equivalent to the replacement value of the entire item.
    • If a part is broken or lost and can be replaced, the cost of the part will be charged as a damage fee.
    • If any equipment is returned excessively dirty, a cleaning fee (variable by item) will be charged.

    Suspensions

    Renters with unpaid late, damage, or cleaning fees cannot rent more equipment or join Outdoor trips until all fees are paid.
