1. DEFINITIONS: “Porta Kleen” means Pro Kleen Industrial Services, Inc. from whom the “Customer” (as identified on the attached Equipment Schedule) has rented equipment. “Equipment” means any one or more items identified as such in this Agreement, and shall include any accessories, attachments or other similar items. The Equipment Schedule and the Rental Agreement Terms and Conditions are collectively referred to as the “Agreement”.
2. WARRANTIES, LIMITATIONS OF WARRANTIES AND DISCLAIMERS: Porta Kleen disclaims all representations and warranties, express or implied, with respect to the equipment, its durability, condition, merchantability, or fitness for any particular purpose. Customer acknowledges acceptance of the equipment on an “as is, where is” basis, with “all faults” and without any recourse whatsoever against Porta Kleen. Porta Kleen’s liability and customer’s exclusive remedy in any cause of action whether in contract, tort, breach of warranty or otherwise, arising out of performance of the work is expressly limited to the replacement of the products, supplies, or materials used in connection therewith upon their return to Porta Kleen or, at Porta Kleen’s option, to the allowance to customer of credit for the cost of such items.
3. PAYMENT: All rentals shall be paid in full per the requirements stated in the Agreement. In the event Customer disputes any portion of any invoice, Customer shall give Porta Kleen written notice of such disputed portion within ten (10) days after Customer’s receipt of such invoice and shall pay to Porta Kleen the undisputed portion of the invoice without delay. Once any disputed portion is settled, Customer shall pay the settled amount, if any, within the original payment timeframe, or if such original timeframe has already elapsed then payment shall be due immediately. If Customer fails to pay any invoiced amounts when due, interest will accrue on each unpaid amount at the rate of 10% per annum, or the maximum amount allowed by law if less, from the date due until paid according to the provisions of this Agreement. Interest shall not be charged on any disputed invoice item that is finally resolved in Customer's favor. When paying with a credit card, a service fee will be applied as specified on the Equipment Schedule.
4. RENTAL PERIOD: Rental charges commence when the Equipment is delivered to Customer and end when the Equipment is returned to Porta Kleen (“Rental Period”).
5. ACCESS TO FACILITIES; PERMITS: The quoted price is based on open access to all specified Equipment locations for placement, pumping and removal. Failure to provide access will void guarantee of placement, pumping or removal as per schedule. Customer will obtain, at its expense, all governmental licenses, permits and approvals that may be necessary for Porta Kleen to perform the Work.
6. DELIVERY AND SETUP; FAILURE TO DELIVER: The pricing includes a setup time of two hours at the time of delivery (“Included Setup Time”). If the setup takes longer than 2 hours for any reason other than the fault of Porta Kleen, then Customer will be charged $65 per hour per person for each additional hour. If Porta Kleen is unable to set up the Equipment at the time of delivery or if the Customer requests a change of location after delivery, then Customer is responsible for all costs Porta Kleen incurs to return to the site on another day to set up or relocate the Equipment, plus a ten percent scheduling fee. Prior to delivery, the Customer will provide Porta Kleen with detailed setup information (including, but not limited to, distance to water supply, distance to dump site, etc.). If this information is not correct, the Customer will be charged for extra time on site and the cost of purchasing additional materials needed for setup. Customer releases and discharges Porta Kleen from any and all liability or damages (including consequential and special damages) which might be caused by Porta Kleen’s failure or inability to deliver Equipment by a specified date or time.
7. SITE LOCATION: Customer chooses the site where the Equipment is to be set up and accepts all responsibility in connection with that choice of location. The pricing is based on: easy access to site, firm and level ground, and a dry location. If during the course of the rental, rains occurs and the ground becomes unstable causing the tractor or trailer to become stuck, Customer will be responsible for charges to have the equipment removed. Porta Kleen is not responsible for any damages caused to property when it follows the Customer’s direction on where to drive to set up the Equipment, except to the extent such damages are caused by Porta Kleen’s sole negligence.

If the Equipment is returned in a damaged or excessively worn condition, Customer shall pay Porta Kleen the cost of repair on the Equipment. All repairs must be performed by authorized Porta Kleen personnel. The intent of this Section 12 is not to charge Customer for minor scratches or dents inherent in mobile equipment, but rather a recognition that Customer has control of the equipment without supervision by Porta Kleen and, as such, Customer is responsible for keeping the equipment in generally the same condition the equipment was in when delivered to Customer less normal wear and tear.

Customer assumes all risks associated with the equipment and releases Porta Kleen from all liabilities and damages (including lost profits, personal injury, and special, incidental and consequential damages) in any way connected with the equipment, its operation or use or any defect or failure thereof or a breach of Porta Kleen’s obligations herein. To the fullest extent permitted by law, customer indemnifies, releases, holds Porta Kleen harmless and at Porta Kleen’s request, defends Porta Kleen (with counsel approved by Porta Kleen), from and against any and all liability, claims, fines, forfeitures, seizures, confiscations, penalties, contamination and damages of any kind (including attorneys’ fees) for any and all damages, injuries, illnesses or death to persons or property arising from the use, maintenance, repair, instruction, operation, possessions, ownership or rental of the equipment, however the cause.
