Questions

About these terms

How much is the fee on a $5,000 order?

$400 once your first two booked orders are done, and nothing on those. It's worked out on the rentals only, not your delivery, damage waiver or tax.

Do I sign something?

Yes, a short agreement with these same terms. Reply to our email saying you agree, or sign the PDF we send. An attorney is finishing the full version, and nothing in it will differ from this page.

What if a customer we already know comes through you?

Tell us when the order arrives. If they were your customer in the last 12 months, there's no fee on that order.

Can I leave?

Any time, with 30 days' notice. We'll remove your listing within 2 business days.
