You agree that we do not need to notify you in advance and that we may take any actions reasonably necessary to obtain possession of the Trailer. If the Trailer is repossessed, you agree to pay or reimburse us for the actual and reasonable costs incurred by us to repossess the Trailer. You agree that such costs will be charged to the payment card or account used to rent the Trailer.

If the Trailer is repossessed because of fraud or misrepresentation, except where expressly prohibited by Applicable Law, liability protection and products or services will be automatically null and void.

2.Rental Charges and Collections

Payment in full must be made prior to receiving the trailer. You will pay certain taxes, including sales and use taxes (i.e. Pennsylvania State Sales Tax 6%, Allegheny County 7%, etc.), and other similar fees imposed by local, state, federal, or other authorities, by means of payment acceptable to us.

In addition, no refunds will be given for early return.

2.2 Miscellaneous Fees/Charges

Except where prohibited by Applicable Law, you will also pay us the following miscellaneous fees and charges, where applicable:

2.2(a) Cleaning Fees

You will pay a reasonable fee for cleaning the Trailer's interior or exterior for what we determine in our sole discretion are excessive stains, trash, dirt, soilage, odors, or pet hair after the Trailer is returned.

If we discover any evidence of violation of our smoke-free and vape-free policy as provided hereunder, we may charge a fee for interior cleaning and for repair of any damage caused by your violation of this policy.

2.2(b) Additional Authorized Individuals

We may charge a fee, as stated in your Agreement, for each Additional Authorized Individual, as provided in Paragraph 1.1.

2.2(c) Key Recovery Fee

We may charge a fee to cover the cost to us for replacement if you do not return the same number of keys to the Trailer that you received at the beginning of the rental.

2.3 Payment Method

You agree that you are responsible for all charges arising out of this Agreement. If we are directed to bill any charges made under this Agreement to any third party, such as an employer or insurer, you represent that you are authorized to do so by the third party. You are jointly and severally liable with any third party to whom the billing is directed.

We may perform a credit check on your method of payment to ensure worthiness before releasing the Trailer. If we perform a credit check on your payment card, you may also be asked to present a second form of current identification.

If you present a payment card at the time of rental, we may reserve an amount with the card issuer based on our estimate of your charges. We may charge any amounts due us including, but not limited to, any amounts in excess of the minimum rental charges agreed to under this Agreement, against that credit card, which also includes charges determined to be due after return of the Trailer.

If we permit you to pay by check, you agree to pay us a fee for any check used for payment if it is dishonored and returned to us unpaid and any bank charges we incur in connection with that returned check. We are not obligated to present any check for payment more than once.

2.4 Payment Card Reserve

If you use a payment card, including but not limited to a credit card or debit card, or a digital wallet or mobile payment application linked to your payment card, to make this rental reservation or to pay for the rental, you acknowledge that the card issuer may set aside or reserve an amount up to the greater of:

  • The estimated total charges due under Paragraph 2, including all subparts, as stated in the Agreement; or
  • The deposit amount as stated on signs at the location where your rental begins.

We are not responsible for any fees or charges by the payment card issuer because of the reservation, including overdraft fees. We will authorize the release of any excess reserve after the standard charges have been billed and the Trailer has been returned to us according to this Agreement.

We do not control payment card issuers, so we cannot guarantee the immediate availability of funds once we have released them. This Paragraph does not waive our right to make charges against your card in excess of the reservation or to make additional charges after we have released the reservation to the extent that the charges are otherwise authorized by this Agreement.

2.5 Errors/Adjustments

We will provide you with a preliminary statement of charges at or near the time you return the Trailer. This statement is not final, and you may be responsible for additional charges, including but not limited to convenience fees, fines, HOA permits, citations and penalties, charges for damage to the Trailer, and other charges that have not yet been assessed or calculated as of the date of the statement.

You will continue to be responsible for payment of further charges determined later and will receive a refund to the extent we review the preliminary statement and identify any excess charges.

If you rent from us under a commercial account, you acknowledge that we are entitled to contact the account regarding any unpaid charges and to share with the account any information you have shared with us in connection with this Agreement. If you do not rent using a commercial account, you acknowledge that you are personally liable for all unpaid charges regardless of any agreement you may have with your employer or any other person for reimbursement of the charges.

2.6 Collections

You agree to pay a late fee of 1.5% per month, or the highest rate permitted by Applicable Law, whichever is less, for any amounts, including but not limited to charges, fines, HOA permits, and all matters associated with the rental and/or damage to or loss of the Trailer, including but not limited to acts of nature, under this Agreement if they are not paid within fourteen (14) days after we demand payment.

You also agree to pay for any costs we may reasonably incur in collecting the unpaid charges or other amounts due under this Agreement including, but not limited to, court costs and attorneys' fees, including on appeal, and insufficient funds fees for rejected checks.

We may engage attorneys and/or third-party collection agents to collect unpaid charges. You agree that we are entitled to share any information provided by you in connection with this Agreement with our attorneys or third-party collection agents and that, except where prohibited by Applicable Law, any fees or costs billed to us by our attorneys and/or a third-party collection agency in collecting amounts owed under this Agreement will be included in costs we may recover from you.

You understand that, to the extent that there are any unpaid charges, we reserve the right to report information to appropriate credit reporting agencies, and you authorize us to share the information necessary for such reporting.

2.7 Fines, Expenses, Costs, and Administrative Fees

YOU WILL COMPLY WITH ALL LAWS APPLICABLE TO YOUR USE OF THE TRAILER.

You agree to pay all fines, HOA permit fees, penalties, and court costs, if assessed directly against you. You also agree that we may provide any information requested by law enforcement authorities as part of any investigation of an alleged infraction.

To the extent any tickets, citations, fines, HOA permit fees, penalties, or administrative fees are assessed against us because of the operation or use of the Trailer from the time you take possession of it until it is returned to us, you agree to indemnify us from all resulting damages, losses, costs, and expenses. We have no obligation to contest or otherwise defend you against any alleged infraction.

You agree that we may, in our sole discretion if Applicable Law allows the fine to be assessed against us or the Trailer, pay all tickets, citations, fines, HOA permit fees, and penalties on your behalf directly to the issuing authority and unilaterally charge the payment card you provided us for the fine or penalty, plus court costs, attorneys' fees, bonds or sureties, or other costs incurred by us as a result, including but not limited to impound fees or other costs to recover possession of the Trailer.

If we cannot charge your payment card for such charges for any reason, you are still responsible for such charges. We may also charge you a reasonable administrative fee, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, for each infraction, not to exceed the lesser of $25 or 10% of the amount we incur.

You are strongly encouraged to promptly pay all fines, HOA fees, penalties, court costs, monetary assessments, fees, surcharges, or other charges assessed against you directly to the court, county government, or other appropriate government agency, and to provide proof of payment to us, to avoid these additional charges.

TKC or any agent we may authorize may process and bill any tickets, citations, fines, HOA permits, and penalties. You authorize us to release the rental and payment card information regarding your rental to any agent we may authorize for the purpose of processing and billing you for any tickets, citations, fines, HOA permits, and penalties incurred by you or assessed against us or the Trailer during your rental plus, where allowed by Applicable Law, a reasonable administrative fee not to exceed $50 per violation.

You authorize us or any agent we may authorize to contact you directly regarding any ticket, citation, fine, or penalty assessed in connection with the use of the Trailer from the time you take possession until the time it is returned to us.

3.Breach of Agreement; Handling of Property and Associated Costs

If you do not honor your obligations under this Agreement, we may charge a reasonable administrative fee and attorney's fees to enforce this Agreement.

If we repossess the Trailer as provided in Paragraph 1.6, we will have a lien on all of your property in the Trailer and/or any equipment attached to the Trailer, which lien will be security for all unpaid charges and expenses due to us under this Agreement. You grant us a security interest in all such property to secure payment of all such charges and expenses. A copy of this Agreement may be filed as a financing statement to perfect that security interest.

We are also authorized to act as your agent for unloading, inventorying, and storing any such property and paying third-party vendors for which we will be entitled to reasonable costs.

If you fail to pay all charges and expenses due us under this Agreement, or after paying you do not retrieve your property, then acting as your agent we, or our agents, may dispose of and/or donate the property at our sole discretion. We need not notify you before such disposal or disposition.

Acting in the same way as your agent, and without prior notice, we may dispose of and/or donate any other property that you, or any person associated with you, leaves on our premises or in the Trailer, which you or they do not retrieve within thirty (30) days from the date of abandonment or recovery of the Trailer.

4.Accidents/Incidents

You must report to us any accident/incident involving the Trailer as soon as it is safely and reasonably possible to do so, provide us with a written report, and otherwise cooperate in our investigation of the incident and recovery of damages.

You understand that if you fail to report any accident, loss, or theft to us within 24 hours, you may be responsible for any loss.

You must also immediately report to us any incident related to the Trailer involving law enforcement.

5.Trailer Loss/Damage

You are responsible for and will pay us for all loss or damage to the Trailer whether or not you are at fault from any cause, including, but not limited to, loss or damage caused by collision, accident, theft, vandalism, fire, flood, explosion, natural and/or unknown causes.

You are also responsible for and will pay us as part of our loss for the following: any diminution in value of the Trailer that remains after repair; actual kitchen, storage, impound, and other related fees; Loss of Use ("LOU"), which is defined as the applicable daily rate multiplied by the number of days taken to repair or replace the vehicle, not to exceed 30 days; and a reasonable administrative charge for expenses associated with processing the claim.

YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL MECHANICAL DAMAGE TO THE TRAILER RESULTING FROM YOUR VIOLATION OF THIS AGREEMENT, SUCH AS BY OVERLOADING, OR FAILING TO HAVE THE TRAILER SERVICED AS DIRECTED BY US.

You understand that the charges for physical damage to the Trailer, as indicated in our current counter chart, are based on our actual repair experience. You further understand that those charges could exceed or be less than our actual cost for the parts, labor, or outside repairs.

If the Trailer is stolen, or damaged to the extent that it is declared a total loss, you will be responsible for and will pay us our book value or the actual cash value of the Trailer, prior to the loss, less its salvage value, whichever is higher.

If any accessories are not returned by you or you return any damaged regardless of cause, you will pay us our replacement cost for them plus an administrative fee.

If your responsibility is covered by any insurance, payment card benefit, or such other insurance or benefits, you authorize us to contact the benefit provider directly on your behalf and you assign all of your benefits directly to us to recover all consequential and incidental damages, including but not limited to the repairs of the Trailer plus diminished value or the actual cash value of the Trailer, and all incidental loss and administrative fees.

If we collect our loss from a third party after we have collected our loss from you, we will refund the difference, if any, between what you paid us and what we collected from the third party.

You understand that you are not authorized to repair or have the Trailer repaired without our express prior written consent, and that if the Trailer is repaired without our consent, you will pay the estimated cost to restore the Trailer to the condition it was in prior to your rental, per Paragraph 4 above.

6.Indemnification and Waiver

Except where prohibited by Applicable Law, you agree to release, indemnify, and hold us, and our parent and affiliated companies, and our insurance carriers harmless from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims, demands, awards, costs, attorney's fees, interest, and other expenses incurred by us in any manner from this rental transaction or from the use of or operation of the Trailer by you or any person, regardless of whether that person is an Additional Authorized Individual, including claims by third parties.

7.Kitchen Equipment Liability

YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO ASSUME ALL RISK IN THE OPERATION, USE, OR POSSESSION OF ANY KITCHEN EQUIPMENT AND TO RELEASE, INDEMNIFY, AND HOLD HARMLESS FROM ANY CLAIM FOR BODILY INJURY, INCLUDING DEATH, TO YOU, OTHERS OR DAMAGE TO YOUR PROPERTY OR THE PROPERTY OF OTHERS RESULTING FROM OR ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE, POSSESSION, OR OPERATION OF ANY KITCHEN EQUIPMENT, EXCEPT WHEN SUCH INJURY, DEATH, OR DAMAGE IS DUE SOLELY TO OUR FAULT.
