Rental Terms
Welcome to www.ReadyMadeTailgates.com, the website (the “Website”) of Ready Made Tailgates LLC (“we,” or “us”). These rental terms (“Rental Agreement”) set forth the entire terms and conditions by which you (“you” or “Customer”) will rent certain equipment and/or other personal property (“Equipment”) from Ready Made Tailgates LLC. By placing an order for Equipment on this website (the “Order”), you acknowledge and agree to this Rental Agreement. If you do not agree to this Rental Agreement, you may not place an order for Equipment. We may change this Rental Agreement at any time, without notice to you. For this reason, we recommend that you regularly check this page to ensure that you have read the most recent version. Such changes are effective when they are posted to the Website.
1. Rental.
The Order describes the Equipment being rented by Customer. Ready Made Tailgates reserves the right to reject any Order(s) if the Equipment is not available or for any other reason in its sole discretion. No Orders will be considered accepted by Ready Made Tailgates until Ready Made Tailgates has confirmed the order electronically by email, or otherwise (“Acceptance”). Customer hereby expressly authorizes Ready Made Tailgates to so communicate by such means. Upon Acceptance, Ready Made Tailgates hereby rents to Customer, and Customer hereby rents from Ready Made Tailgates, the Equipment.
2. Rental Period.
The Rental Period shall begin on the date and time specified in the Order and confirmed by Ready Made Tailgates, which shall be no less than three hours prior to the ticketed event time (subject to local ordinances) and shall continue for the period of time specified in the Order and confirmed by Ready Made Tailgates subject to Check Out, which shall be at the ticketed event time (as that term is defined in Section 12 below) (“Rental Period”).
3. Delivery and Installation.
Ready Made Tailgates will deliver, set up, take down and remove the Equipment at the specific location identified in the Order (“Location”). The Equipment may not be removed from such Location without Ready Made Tailgate’s prior written consent in its sole discretion.
4. Rent; Tax; Insurance.
Customer shall pay the rental amount as ordered by Customer and confirmed in writing by Ready Made Tailgates (“Rent”). Customer shall also pay, in advance, all applicable taxes. Ready Made Tailgates may also charge Customer for insurance. This insurance will not relieve Customer of any of its obligations under this Rental Agreement.
5. Ordering; Payments, and Security Deposit.
You may only order Equipment if you are domiciled in the United States, 18 years old or older and in a geographic area serviced by Ready Made Tailgates. You agree to pay in full the prices for any rentals you make either by credit or debit card concurrent with your online Order If Ready Made Tailgates does not receive payment from your credit or debit card issuer or its agents, your order is not confirmed. All orders are subject to a hold in the amount of $100 as a partial security deposit. Upon the occurrence of the theft of any of our Equipment, Customer is responsible for paying to us the fair market value (as determined by Ready Made Tailgates in its reasonable discretion) of the Equipment. Tailgater may, at its option, apply any Security Deposit to any amounts owed under this Rental Agreement by Customer. If the Security Deposit is insufficient to pay the fair market value of the Equipment, then Customer is responsible for immediately paying Ready Made Tailgates the remaining amounts owed to Ready Made Tailgates. Following termination of this Rental Agreement, Ready Made Tailgates shall release the balance of the Security Deposit, if any, without interest, to Customer if and only if Customer has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Rental Agreement.
6. Cancellation Policy.
Customer must notify Ready Made Tailgates at least 14 days in advance of the event for a full refund. For cancellations less than 14 days before the event, you will receive a credit equal to half of your paid package balance to be used for a future rental.

Customer, at its expense, shall protect and defend the title and interest of Ready Made Tailgates and keep the Equipment free of all claims and liens other than claims and liens created by or arising through Ready Made Tailgates. The Equipment shall remain personal property regardless of its attachment to realty, and Customer agrees to take such action at its expense as may be necessary to prevent any third party from acquiring any interest in the Equipment. Ready Made Tailgates may mark the Equipment as its property and Customer shall not remove or obscure any markings of Ready Made Tailgate’s ownership.
B. A continuing security interest in favor of Ready Made Tailgates is hereby created in the Equipment rented by Ready Made Tailgates to Customer, including any replacements, additions and improvements to the equipment or proceeds resulting from any disposition thereof and any insurance proceeds resulting from any damage or destruction thereof.

11. Loss; Destruction, Theft.
Customer hereby assumes and shall bear the entire risk of loss, theft, or destruction of the Equipment from any cause whatsoever during the Rental Period; and no loss, theft, or destruction of all or any item of the Equipment or the existence of insurance shall relieve Customer of its obligation to make Rental Payments or of any other obligation under this Rental Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding such loss, theft, or destruction. The risk of loss shall pass to Customer on tender of the Equipment to Customer until the Equipment is returned to Ready Made Tailgates. Customer shall promptly notify Ready Made Tailgates of any loss, theft, material damage or destruction of the Equipment and, if Ready Made Tailgates determines that the Equipment is lost, stolen, destroyed, worn out or damaged beyond repair as a result of extraordinary use, neglect, abuse or any other cause whatsoever, Customer will pay to Ready Made Tailgates the (i) all then accrued and outstanding Rent and other amounts due from Customer hereunder, plus (ii) all Rent with respect to such item for the balance of the Rental Period, plus (iii) the then fair market value of the Equipment. Such payment shall be made in immediately available funds and upon such payment in full the Equipment shall become the property of Customer, without recourse or warranty, and all of Ready Made Tailgate’s right, title and interest therein, including the Rent with respect to such Equipment, shall terminate. Customer shall pay any sales, use and transfer taxes due on such transfer. Any insurance or condemnation proceeds actually received by Ready Made Tailgates shall be credited to Customer’s obligation under this paragraph, in such order of application as Ready Made Tailgates, in its sole discretion, may determine, and Ready Made Tailgates shall be entitled to any surplus.

13. Return of Equipment.
Customer shall surrender possession of the Equipment to a Ready Made Tailgates representative at the Location upon expiration of the Rental Period. Customer shall not leave the Location until a Ready Made Tailgates representative has personally visited the Location and inspected the Equipment at the end of the Rental Period (the “Check Out”). Due to darkness and among other things, such inspection by Ready Made Tailgates does not waive Ready Made Tailgate’s rights to later claim damage to the Equipment. The Equipment shall be in the same condition as when received by Customer, reasonable wear and tear resulting from normal and proper use, and free and clear of any liens. Until the Check Out, this Rental Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. In the event that Customer fails to surrender possession of the Equipment at the Location upon expiration of the Rental Period, Customer shall pay an hourly fee of $50 per hour until the Equipment is surrendered, provided that Customer shall have no liability for delays in returning the Equipment caused by Ready Made Tailgates.

No remedy under this paragraph is intended to be exclusive, and each shall be cumulative but only to the extent necessary to permit Ready Made Tailgates to recover amounts for which Customer is liable hereunder. No express or implied waiver by Ready Made Tailgates of any breach of Customer’s obligation hereunder shall constitute a waiver of any other breach of Customer’s obligations hereunder.
15. Assignment.
CUSTOMER WILL NOT SELL, ASSIGN, SUBLET, PLEDGE, OR OTHERWISE ENCUMBER OR PERMIT A LIEN TO EXIST ON OR AGAINST ANY INTEREST IN THE EQUIPMENT. Customer’s obligations to pay Rental Payments to the assignee shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be subject to any defense or offset.
