NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:

LPTG reserves the right to refuse or decline leasing Equipment to potential lessee at LPTG’s sole discretion. LPTG may, at its sole discretion, gather information from third parties regarding potential lessee’s past rental history and credit worthiness.

The term of this Lease shall commence on the day of the first attempt by the parcel carrier to deliver the item, and expire on the last day of the rental period as shown on the checkout page (“Rental Period”). The Equipment must be return shipped to LPTG before the shipping cut-off time with the courier on the last day of the Rental Period. In the event the last day is a Saturday, Sunday or courier scheduled holiday, a shipping extension to the next delivery working day is granted. Should Lessee return the Equipment using a shipping label not provided by LPTG, and the Equipment is not returned on or before the expected return date, LPTG reserves the right to charge the Lessee additional Rent for the extra time the Equipment was in transit or late. You hereby give LPTG permission to contact you via the US mail, email, telephone, or text message regarding information on or status of your rental.
- Rent and Deposit. All fees associated with the rental or purchase of equipment will be paid in full at the time of check out (“Rent”). LPTG reserves the right to request for a deposit on any given order. If requested by LPTG, Lessee shall pay the requested deposit prior to receiving any Equipment. This deposit will be refunded, subject to LPTG’s option to apply it against any charges or damages incurred, only after all Equipment has been inspected and tested to assure that nothing has been lost or damaged and all Rent has been paid. If additional charges exceed the amount of the deposit, Lessee will be liable for such additional amount. Any amounts refundable to Lessee shall be remitted within ten (10) days of LPTG’s satisfactory inspection of the Equipment.
- Use. Lessee shall use the Equipment in a careful, safe and appropriate manner and shall comply with and conform to all national, state, municipal, and other laws, and regulations in any way relating to the possession, use or maintenance of the Equipment including any manufacturer’s recommendations, warnings and instructions as to the safe use of the Equipment and any instructions or policies of LPTG, or any registration and/or license requirements. Lessee shall make no alterations, modifications, or changes to the Equipment. Lessee shall not remove, cover, alter, or deface any tags, serial numbers, nameplates, or RFIDs on the Equipment.
- Representations, Warranties and Agreements. Lessee has selected the Equipment, using Lessee’s own knowledge and judgment and acknowledges, that while LPTG may have provided assistance or recommendations to Lessee at Lessee’s request or Lessee may have derived advice from LPTG content, LPTG assumes no responsibility for the Equipment as being fit for any particular purpose.
- Used Equipment. Lessee acknowledges that the Equipment may be used and may be cosmetically flawed. However, LPTG warrants that the Equipment, whether new or used, will be in proper working condition when leased to Lessee. Should Lessee discover that the Equipment, as received, is not working properly, Lessee agrees to notify LPTG pursuant to Section 15 of this Agreement.
- Typographical Errors. In the event a product rental rate is listed incorrectly due to errors in pricing information received from LPTG’s suppliers, LPTG has the right to refuse or cancel any orders placed for products listed at the incorrect rate whether or not Lessee’s credit card has been charged. Should LPTG cancel Lessee’s order, LPTG will immediately credit Lessee’s account for the incorrect amount paid. The prices displayed on this Site are quoted in U.S. dollars and are valid and effective only within the United States, and such prices do not include handling or sales taxes, if applicable, which will be added to your total Rent. You are responsible for the payment of any non-included shipping and handling charges and state and local sales or use taxes that may apply to your order. LPTG does not guarantee that any content on the Site is accurate or complete, including price information and product specifications. If we discover price errors, they will be corrected on our systems, and the corrected price will apply to your order. LPTG reserves the right to revoke any stated offer and to correct any errors, inaccuracies or omissions (including after an order has been submitted and accepted).
- Order Acceptance Policy. Your receipt of an electronic or other form of order confirmation does not signify LPTG’s acceptance of Lessee’s order, nor does it constitute confirmation of LPTG’s offer to rent. LPTG reserves the right at any time after receipt of Lessee’s order to accept or decline Lessee’s order or to supply less than the quantity Lessee ordered of any item for any reason.
- Out-of-Stock Products and Multiple Product Orders. LPTG will ship the Equipment to Lessee as it becomes available. There may be times when the Equipment Lessee ordered is out-of-stock which will delay fulfilling Lessee’s order. LPTG makes no guarantees as to availability of Equipment. Any estimate of availability provided by LPTG is based on the assumption that each of LPTG’s customer returns Equipment within the prescribed Rental Period. LPTG will keep Lessee informed of any Equipment that Lessee has ordered that are out-of-stock and unavailable for immediate shipment. If Equipment is out- of-stock or unavailable, Lessee may cancel the order at any time prior to shipping. For a multiple product order, LPTG will make commercially reasonable attempts to ship all products contained in the order at the same time. Equipment that is unavailable at the time of shipment of other Equipment will be shipped as it becomes available unless Lessee notifies LPTG of their alternate wishes to this end. Lessee will only be charged for Equipment contained in a given shipment, plus any applicable shipping charges. Lessee will only be charged for shipping at the rate quoted on Lessee’s checkout page. The entirety of this shipping charge may be applied to the first Equipment shipped on an order requiring multiple shipments.
- Shipping. All shipping costs (excluding expedited or special shipping additions) are the responsibility of LPTG. LPTG does not ship on federal holidays. LPTG cannot guarantee the arrival date of the order as that is outside the control of LPTG. Any shipping or transit time estimates provided by LPTG are estimates only.

Lessee agrees to obtain and retain the shipping return receipt for all return shipping until LPTG notifies Lessee of LPTG’s receipt of the rented Equipment.
- Cancellations. Lessee may cancel a pending reservation at any time prior to order shipment.

- Non-Working Equipment. Lessee shall notify LPTG within twenty-four hours of receipt of Equipment of any malfunction and/or alleged damage of such Equipment. Failure to provide LPTG with such notice shall be conclusively deemed as acknowledgement that all Equipment is in good working order.

Lessee must immediately return such non-working Equipment to LPTG and LPTG will either replace the non-working Equipment with a functioning equivalent (“Replacement Equipment”) or issue Lessee a credit or full refund of all Rent paid by Lessee at Lessee’s option.
