Boat Rental Agreement

Read through terms and sign at the bottom:

SECURITY/DAMAGE DEPOSIT: 

A valid credit card is required to rent the equipment and is due at the time of equipment check out. Unless prior arrangements are made to pay via different means, WALZYS WAVES/Kylor Wall shall be authorized to charge Renter’s credit card on file for the full amount of such security deposit, along with any other costs incurred by Renter in accordance with the terms hereof. Any unused portion of the security deposit will be released after the completion of the rental period, provided no damage to the equipment is found, and no additional charges have accrued as outlined under this agreement. WALZYS WAVES/Kylor Wall reserves the right to inspect rental equipment up to thirty (30) days after the rental period if necessary to have mechanics or repairmen view and fix any damage that was incurred while Renter had equipment in his/her possession. If damage is caused or permitted by Renter during the rental period, Renter authorizes WALZYS WAVES/Kylor Wall to charge the credit card on file for the full amount of any such damages, including repair costs and to then notify Renter of the same. Renter understands that all damages will be repaired by WALZYS WAVES Kylor Wall’s authorized mechanics and/or repairmen; and no repairs will be allowed by Renter or others. I understand that I as Renter am responsible for all damages, even if they are above the amount of my initial security deposit or authorization.

CANCELLATION/NO SHOW POLICY: 

Renter understands that when the watercraft is reserved, it is no longer available for other customers and therefore WALZYS WAVES/Kylor Wall cannot commit the watercraft to another customer during the reserved dates/times. Consequently, in the event Renter cancels, changes dates, shortens the rental period with less than 10 days notice of rental period, the entire rental total shall still be due and payable.

PAYMENT:

Payments will be accepted via E-Transfer or Cash.
