Rental terms
A little care keeps
the library playing.
The essential responsibilities that apply to every rental from The Mahj Library.
Rental period
Rental items must be returned by the date and time agreed at reservation. Extensions require advance approval and may include additional rental fees.
Security deposit
A $150 deposit is required unless otherwise stated. It is refunded after return and inspection, less any late, cleaning, missing-item, damage, replacement, or other applicable charges. The renter remains responsible for charges above the deposit.
Care of rental items
Keep all items clean, dry, and secure. Protect them from food, beverages, smoke, moisture, excessive heat, pets, unsupervised children, and improper storage or transportation. Items may not be altered, marked, repaired, or modified.
Loss or damage
The renter is responsible for items that are lost, missing, stolen, destroyed, or damaged beyond normal wear. Replacement is charged at full retail cost. When an individual piece cannot reasonably be replaced, the complete set or item needed to restore the inventory may be charged.
Inspection and reporting
Inspect the rental upon receipt and promptly report existing damage or missing pieces. The Mahj Library may inspect all items after return before releasing the deposit.
Late returns
Late returns are charged $25 per calendar day until accepted by The Mahj Library. Items not returned within a reasonable period may be treated as unreturned and charged at full retail replacement cost in addition to accrued late fees.
Cleaning
Items should be returned in substantially the same condition in which they were received. A reasonable cleaning fee may be assessed when cleaning beyond normal use is required.
No transfer or sub-rental
Rental items may not be sold, lent, sub-rented, transferred, or provided to another person or business without prior permission. The renter remains responsible throughout the rental period.
Proper use and responsibility
Items may only be used for their intended purpose in a safe and lawful manner. To the fullest extent permitted by law, The Mahj Library is not responsible for claims resulting from misuse, improper handling, or unauthorized use.
Payment authorization
The renter agrees to pay all properly due rental fees, deposits, late fees, cleaning fees, repair costs, replacement costs, and other charges. Where permitted, the payment method provided may be charged for amounts owed with notice or supporting documentation.
Cancellations and availability
Payments, reservation fees, and deposits follow the cancellation policy provided at booking. If a reserved item becomes unavailable, The Mahj Library may offer a comparable substitute or refund amounts paid for that item.
Ownership and acceptance
All rental items remain the sole property of The Mahj Library. Reserving, paying for, accepting, or taking possession of rental items confirms acceptance of these terms.
