2.The Renter is responsible for returning all equipment in the condition in which they first rented it.
3.In the event of loss or theft, the Renter is responsible for the $1,000 insurance deductible, or the first $1000 in replacement. The Renter must inform Ed Video staff of the theft immediately and provide a copy of a police report immediately after filing, and at the nearest business hours of the centre. Please see Ed Video’s Reporting of Theft, Damage or Loss Policy.

8.The Renter must return all equipment by 11 AM on the scheduled return date, or make appropriate arrangements with staff prior to return time. Late returns will result in late fees and penalties as follows:

b) If the Renter fails to return the equipment on the scheduled return date, or if the late return interferes with another equipment booking, this will result in a 90 day suspension of rental access. A second offence will result in a 365 day suspension of rental access. The Renter will continue to have access to facility rentals and all other membership privileges.
c) Volunteer and Board Credits may not be applied to late fees.
9.If the Renter has outstanding fees owing to Ed Video, they will not be permitted to rent equipment until all fees are paid. The Renter may discuss this with staff to make arrangements.
