Please read the attached Cavrent Credit Terms and Rental Terms and Conditions very carefully. They contain important terms and conditions that you should ensure that you understand before agreeing to be bound by them. These include:

1. Customers may be required to provide differing levels of security to secure all amounts owing to Cavrent (see clauses 10 and 11 of the Credit Terms and clause 6 of the Rental Terms and Conditions).
2. Customers may be liable for damage to Equipment hired by them, and for damage to goods or property owned by a third party (see clauses 4.2 and 12 of the Rental Terms and Conditions).
3. The liability of Cavrent to Customers is excluded in some circumstances (see clause 17 of the Credit Terms and clause 12 of the Rental Terms and Conditions).
4. If Customers do not have sufficient insurance coverage, they will be required to pay Renter Protection for the Equipment (see clauses 9 and 10 of the Rental Terms and Conditions).
5. Where Customers insure the equipment rather than paying Renter Protection (and it is approved insurance by Cavrent), in the event of a claim for damage or loss, any difference or gap between the Customer’s insurance settlement of a claim and the actual cost to Cavrent (including lost rental revenue) as a result of the damage is payable by the Customer (see clause 10.2 of the Rental Terms & Conditions). The standard payment terms will apply to any gap payment (see clause 3.7 of the Rental Terms & Conditions).
6. Your credit account may be suspended if invoices are overdue for more than 14 days (see clause 4 of the Credit Terms).
