Equipment usage may be at the mercy of Renter’s third-party service providers (i.e. internet, power, Square services, cell tower operations and bandwidth etc.). When renting WiFi solutions, cellular iPads, hotspots, MiFi, or any other network-connected data
solutions, Owner cannot guarantee bandwidth to cellular towers near events or reliability of networks.

- Sub-rent or loan to any individual or organization outside of the individual or organization listed as renter in this agreement;

Renter shall be solely responsible to protect the Equipment from loss or damage and to store and transport in a safe environment. Renter shall immediately remove equipment from any location where it is at risk of damage (i.e. inclement weather, prolonged direct sun exposure, waterworks, special effects, unruly crowds etc).

19. Waiver.
No failure of owner to exercise or enforce any of its rights under this agreement shall act as a waiver of subsequent breaches; and the waiver of any breach shall not act as a waiver of subsequent breaches. Owner’s acceptance of payment with knowledge of a default by renter shall not constitute a waiver of any breach.
20. Severability.
In the event any provision of this agreement is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible under applicable law, and the other provisions of this agreement will remain in full force and effect.
