Rental Agreement


The following rental agreement is automatically agreed to by the customer when they make a purchase, rental, or create an account from Metro Systems.

The agreement is to protect the customer and company alike.

METRO SYSTEMS LTD. Hereinafter referred to as “The Company” hereby rents to the person or persons referred to during the checkout process, hereinafter referred to as “The Customer”, certain equipment. The said equipment is rented on the following terms and conditions agreed to by the parties.

  6. OPERATION & MAINTENANCE: The customer agrees not to alter, remove or cover up any lettering, numbering or company insignia displayed on the equipment and agrees to employ only competent operators for the said equipment. The customer further agrees to ensure that said equipment is not subject to careless or rough usage and that it is stored in a weather-proof and safe location during the rental period.

  9. INSURANCE: All rental vehicles are insured under Metro Systems ICBC Fleet Insurance - this is only to provide our customers the convenience of not adding one day or one week insurance policies to their own fleet insurance or general liability, themselves for each rental. Insurance claims would also be processed by us, but all damages and fees would be charged to the customer.

    All rental items we provide only cover normal wear and tear. Any items, either tools or vehicles, do not include coverage for customer damage, theft, or any acts of god such as fire, earthquake, etc.

  10. LIABILITY: All liability caused by the operation, handling or transportation of the said equipment during the rental period shall be assumed by the customer and he shall indemnify the company against all such liability.

    *We do recommend that customers add the rental items to their general insurance for replacement value, however this is not required and most of our partners choose to pay any damages direct to Metro Systems Ltd.

  11. CONDITION OF EQUIPMENT: The company reserves the right to refuse to accept equipment returned in a damaged or dirty condition and to continue to levy rental charges until the said equipment is returned in an acceptable condition to the company. Labor charges may be added to the final invoice if the company is forced to clean equipment returned in a dirty condition.

  12. FUEL OF RENTALS: All rentals are to be returned back to the company with the same amount of fuel as they were sent out with. If the customer does not fill up equipment before returning it, then the company has full rights to charge fuel plus labor onto the final invoice.
