The owner reserves the right to keep a copy of the Renter's and any additional driver's license(s) on file.

SECTION 5 - TOW VEHICLE REQUIREMENTS
Renter is solely responsible for ensuring that the tow vehicle is safe, legal, properly registered and insured, and fully capable of towing the Trailer and intended load.

At pickup, the parties should complete and sign a condition report noting the Trailer's condition, tires, lights, deck, ramps, fenders, straps, chains, winch, jack, coupler, and any existing damage.

SECTION 16 - ACCIDENT, DAMAGE, THEFT, OR LOSS
Renter shall immediately notify Owner of any accident, collision, theft, vandalism, fire, impound, seizure, loss, or damage involving the Trailer.

Renter is fully responsible for all loss of or damage to the Trailer, whether or not caused by Renter's fault, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

SECTION 17 - DAMAGE TO CARGO OR TRANSPORTED VEHICLE

Unless expressly stated in writing, Owner does not provide insurance for damage to the Trailer, damage to cargo or transported vehicles, liability for bodily injury or property damage arising from Renter's use, or theft, vandalism, or loss during the Rental Period.
Any insurance carried by Owner shall be excess only and shall not relieve Renter of any obligation under this Agreement unless otherwise required by law.

SECTION 21 - ASSUMPTION OF RISK
Renter understands that towing and loading an open vehicle hauler involves inherent risks, including sway, rollover, collision, cargo shift, equipment failure, tire failure, loading and unloading incidents, road hazards, weather exposure, and property damage.

Renter waives any claim for trespass or damage arising from lawful repossession, except as prohibited by law.

SECTION 25 - CLEANING AND CONDITION ON RETURN
Renter shall return the Trailer in the same condition as received, ordinary wear excepted, free of trash, debris, excess mud, grease, hazardous residue, and fluid leaks.
