TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Bookings must be made at least 24 HOURS [48 hours recommended] in advance of the pickup date for all rentals. Larger equipment packages may require more time.

DO NOT LEAVE EQUIPMENT IN ANY VEHICLE UNATTENDED. This voids coverage by most insurance policies. It may also lead to equipment damage in warm weather or extremely cold weather.

DO NOT LEAVE EQUIPMENT ANYWHERE IT MAY BE SUBJECTED TO EXTREME HIGH HEAT or cold, provide cooling if it is necessary to work in extreme high heat areas.

(Some gear is only available to FULL members, as noted in the Equipment Rental List)

EQUIPMENT PICK UP

Equipment pickup is between 12:00 PM and 4:30 PM, Monday to Friday, unless other arrangements are made with the Production Coordinator. Equipment must be picked up by the renter or a Filmpool approved representative of the Renter.

EQUIPMENT RETURN

Equipment is due back by no later than 3:00 pm on the due date unless other arrangements are made in advance. Late equipment will be charged at a daily rate equivalent to the rental rate.

The equipment has been checked and is in operational condition with damage and features as noted. Any damage found upon return that has not been noted will be charged to the member.

Members are responsible for checking/testing equipment before taking it out. Members are to contact the Production Coordinator with any equipment problems they encounter. Members who try to repair equipment may be charged for the replacement of said equipment if the equipment is returned in unsatisfactory condition.

While the Saskatchewan Filmpool Cooperative’s equipment insurance policy may protect against some losses, the renter is responsible for repairing or replacing items lost, damaged, or stolen. The renter is also responsible for any consequential damages to property or persons due to using the equipment.
