The Renter acknowledges and agrees to assume full responsibility for the rented items during the rental period. This includes liability for any loss, damage, or destruction of the items, except for normal wear and tear. The Renter is responsible for verifying the quantity and condition of all items at the time of pick-up. Any discrepancies must be raised with LOTVER before leaving the pick-up location. Once items have left the premises, LOTVER will assume all quantities and conditions were accepted by the Renter. LOTVER recommends that the Renter take photographs of the items before use to document their initial condition. In the event of any damage, LOTVER will provide an itemized statement of such damages or losses within a reasonable time frame after the return of the items. The Renter's liability for damages shall not exceed the replacement cost of the rented items. The Renter also assumes full responsibility for any loss or damage that occurs during transportation to and from the event venue. LOTVER is not liable for damage incurred during loading, unloading, or transit. If rental items are handled by a third party (including but not limited to venue staff, event coordinators, or caterers), the Renter remains fully responsible for any resulting loss or damage.
In certain circumstances, typically for requests involving high volumes of glassware, plates, or other fragile items, LOTVER may require the Renter to provide an additional damage deposit. Where applicable, the damage deposit will be automatically charged to the card on file (the original payment method used at the time of booking) on the rental start date. The deposit will be held until all items have been returned and inspected. If items are returned in their original condition and total quantity, the damage deposit will be refunded in full via e-transfer no later than 72 hours following the rental end date. If items are not returned in their original quantity or condition, LOTVER reserves the right to withhold a portion of the deposit as deemed fair and necessary to cover cleaning, repair, or replacement costs. The amount retained will be communicated to the Renter by LOTVER.

While LOTVER is not responsible for indirect or consequential damages resulting from the use or misuse of the rented items, we are committed to working with our clients to resolve any issues fairly and reasonably.
