LIABILITY FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE - You are fully responsible for loss, theft, damage to or destruction of the instrument from all causes in excess of normal wear and tear, up to a maximum of the fair market value of the instrument. You can choose the R&L Coverage below which will cover some of your liability stated below.

REPAIR & LIABILITY (R&L) COVERAGE - By choosing this option, you will not be liable for loss or damage to the instrument due to theft, fire, or accidental damage to the instrument. We will maintain and repair the instrument to keep it in property playing condition, except for replacement strings, as strings are used as the player uses the instrument. However, R&L does not cover damage due to abuse or negligence to the instrument. For theft, you must furnish a police report showing forced entry within 3 days or less. R&L coverage is void if payments are past due. All repairs and adjustments must be done by an Tidewater Strings Repair Technician. Repairs done by anybody other than an ECM technician will forfeit repair coverage on the instrument.

FRACTIONAL SIZE POLICY - You can trade in your instrument for a larger size and similar condition of the same type of instrument (violin for a bigger or smaller violin for example) as the student grows. If you exchange instruments without signing a new agreement, you agree that the terms of this agreement will apply to each instrument and exchange. Rental rates in effect at the time of exchange will apply.

TERMINATION - You can terminate this agreement at any time, without penalty by returning the instrument to us in playing condition (no cracks, missing strings, or other parts required for the instrument to be playable), fair wear and tear accepted, and no payments are left unpaid up-to-date. No partial refunds given for days left in the monthly billing cycle. All original issue accessories such as strings, shoulder rests, instrument parts and bows must be returned with the instrument, or you must pay for them at the time of return. You must not sell, pawn, dispose of, or pledge the instrument as security while this Agreement is in effect. You must not move the instrument from the address specified above without our written consent. Your address must be located in Charleston County or in the Town of Daniel Island, SC. Once the customer receives the instrument, we will need to verify your identity with your Drivers License #. The Customer Address and/or Billing Address must be where the instrument is primarily held when not being played at school. After 14 days of being behind on your account payments, you will be in Default, in which case, after notice has been sent to your email or mailing address, you grant us the right to come and obtain the instrument from the address that it is being held. Upon obtaining it, this agreement will become void, and we will have no further obligation to this agreement or your rental account.

LATE PAYMENTS - There will be a late fee of $8.00 on payments not recieved within 14 days after a payment is due. Returned check fee: $30.00. If you fail to make a rental payment within 14 days of the due date, you will be in Default, and this Agreement will terminate. If you Default, and after we give any notice required by law, we will be entitled to repossession of the instrument. You must pay us for all our reasonable costs of collection and court costs. You cannot pawn or sell the instrument. You will be liable for any amounts due to us and immediate return of the instrument. If you Default, Tidewater Strings reserves the right to report your credit and payment history to any of the credit reporting agencies at our option.

CREDIT CHECK & REPORTING- We check customer's credit on the day of picking up your instrument. Your social security number, driver's license number, current address, phone, email must be required. Instruments are rented only if your credit is approved. Please be advised that if you Default, Tidewater Strings reserves the right to report your credit and payment history to any of the credit reporting agencies at our option, and Collection Agency.

CREDIT/DEBIT CARD AUTHORIZATION - By signing below, you are agreeing to the above and to have the card listed above be charged the monthly payment plus applicable taxes and fees on the draft day of each month until this agreement has been fulfilled or the instrument has been returned in proper condition. You must have an updated, valid credit/dbit card, current address, phone, and email on file at all times. The person signing this contract must be the same person who picks up the instrument, and will be verified by ID. The Draft Day is the day of the month your payment is processed. Customers are given up to one week after the Signature Date below to pickup their instrument. THIS AGREEMENT WILL GO INTO EFFECT ON THE DAY OF PICKUP OR DELIVERY OF THE INSTRUMENT TO YOU, AND AFTER A SUFFICIENT CREDIT SCORE HAS BEEN APPROVED BY Tidewater Strings.
