If linens are included in the rented items, you must return them in laundry bags, dry and free of damage, mildew, stains, burns, dirt and debris. DAMP LINENS SHOULD NOT BE ROLLED OR PLACED IN BAGS, AS MILDEW WILL RESULT. You must pay the full replacement cost of any linens not returned or returned damaged.

If the items are not returned in the same condition, Diamond Tent Party Rentals will charge appropriate costs to your invoice amount due. This may include cleaning, repair, or replacement charges.

However, if any rented item proves inoperable or defective, malfunctions, becomes unsafe or otherwise fails to function in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications, you must immediately discontinue using it and notify us within one hour.

If you notify us and immediately return the rented item to us, we will, at our option, take one of the following actions:
(a) Promptly repair the rented item;
(b)Provide you with a reasonably similar replacement rented item, if available;
(c) Make a similar item available to you as soon as it becomes reasonably available to us; or
(d) Cancel the contract for the defective item; and adjust the overall price of the contract.
