BU Biggabed Rental Agreement

We are excited to enhance your sleeping comfort this academic year. This Agreement describes what the rights and responsibilities of each party are. If you have any questions about anything in this Agreement, please contact us at contact@bubiggabed.com immediately. Certain terms are defined on your order form (“Order Form”) that was emailed to you at the time of rental which is incorporated into this Agreement and made a part hereof.

 

This Rental Agreement (the “Agreement”) is between Biggabed LLC dba BU Biggabed, (“Lessor” or “we” or “us” or “our”), and you (“Lessee” or “you” or “your”), and is dated as of your Order Date (as described on your Order Form).
 

The Parties agree as follows:

 

1. Lease. We agree to lease certain equipment (the “Equipment”) to you. The specifics of the Equipment are described on your Order Form. We will continue to own the property during the lease, and this is not a rent to own or security agreement.

 

2. Use of the Equipment.  Depending on what you chose at checkout, either our installation team will install the Equipment according to our installation guide https://www.bubiggabed.com/installation-guide, or you must install the Equipment according to our installation guide. You should review the installation guide and do a “safety check” to confirm that you or the installation team has properly installed the Equipment, because you are responsible for ensuring proper installation of the Equipment. You may not remove and reinstall the Equipment once it has been installed by our installation team and you inspected the installation. THE EQUIPMENT MAY NOT BE INSTALLED ON A LOFTED BED. If you decide not to use the mattress provided by the college or university that you attend (the “Institution”), you will be responsible for storing it, returning it to your room and for any damage to it during the Term (as defined in Section 11).  You acknowledge that you will use the Equipment at your own risk. We will not be responsible for any damage to Institution property, your property or injury to you or anyone else as a result of the use of the Equipment. You will, at your own expense, keep and maintain the Equipment in a good state of repair, normal wear and tear excepted, and you will use the Equipment only for its intended purpose and follow our instructions regarding the use and maintenance of the Equipment.

 

3. Rent. In consideration of your right to possess and use the Equipment during the Term you will pay the rent specified on your Order Form (“Rent”) in advance, prior to receipt of the Equipment.

 

If by the expiration of the Term, you do not return the Equipment to us in the condition and on the terms and conditions of Section 6 below, you will continue to comply with all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the obligation to pay 110% of the prorated daily Rent for each day from the expiration of the Term  until the date on which you return the Equipment to us in accordance with this Agreement (“Holdover Rent”). You will not construe anything contained in this Section, including your payment of Holdover Rent, as our assent to the waiver of any obligation under this Agreement; or (b) assent to any renewal of this Agreement. Alternatively, if we determine in our discretion that you do not intend to return the Equipment, we will deem the Equipment lost and will charge you a Loss Fee of up to three times the Rent paid under this Agreement (the “Loss Fee”). Holdover Rent will be charged at our discretion. Once the Loss Fee is paid, Holdover Rent will cease to be charged.

 

Lessee shall reimburse Lessor for all costs incurred in collecting any late payments, Loss Fees and Holdover Rent, including, without limitation, attorneys' fees. Payment of any late charge does not excuse you of any default under this Agreement.

You have provided us with a credit card that is valid through the expiration of the Term and you agree that we may charge the card on file for any Holdover Rent, extra cleaning fees (as described below) or Loss Fee that you may accrue.  Your credit card information will be securely stored by a third-party processor (currently Stripe). You can read more about what Stripe does to keep your information secure here: https://stripe.com/docs/security.

 

4. Limited Warranty. We will replace the Equipment with identical or similar Equipment if the Equipment fails to operate in accordance with our specifications or operation instructions. Such replacement shall be made as soon as practicable after you return the non-conforming Equipment. Contact us at contact@bubiggabed.com to make a claim under this warranty. Unless we specify otherwise, you will return the non-conforming Equipment at your expense and risk of loss to us at the location specified on the Order Form. Products manufactured by a third party (“Third-Party Product”) may constitute, contain, be contained in, incorporated into, attached to, or packaged together with, the Equipment. Third-Party Products are not covered by the above limited warranty.

 

The limited warranty above does not apply where the Equipment has been subjected to abuse, misuse, neglect, negligence, accident, improper testing, improper installation, improper storage, improper handling, abnormal physical stress, abnormal environmental conditions, or use contrary to any instructions issued by us, or used with any Third-Party Product, hardware, software, or product that has not been previously approved in writing by us.

 OTHER THAN AS SET FORTH ABOVE, WE MAKE NO WARRANTY WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING ANY (a) WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY; (b) WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE; (c) WARRANTY AGAINST INTERFERENCE; OR (d) WARRANTY AGAINST INFRINGEMENT OF ANY PATENT, COPYRIGHT, TRADEMARK, TRADE SECRET, OR OTHER PROPRIETARY RIGHTS OF A THIRD PARTY; WHETHER ARISING BY LAW, COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, USAGE OF TRADE, OR OTHERWISE.

 

THE REMEDIES SET FORTH IN THIS Section 4 ARE YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES AND OUR ENTIRE LIABILITY FOR ANY BREACH OF THE LIMITED WARRANTY SET FORTH HEREIN.

 

5. Title and Risk of Loss. Title to the Equipment remains with us throughout the Term, and Lessee shall acquire no right, title, or interest in the Equipment. You will not encumber the Equipment in any way. You will bear all risk of loss, damage, destruction, theft, and condemnation to or of the Equipment from any cause whatsoever (“Loss”) until the Equipment has been returned to Lessor to the destination specified in Section 6.1. If there’s a Loss you must notify us within 10 days of any Loss.

 

6. Return of Equipment.  You will, at your risk and expense, no later than the expiration of the Term (a) deinstall, inspect, and properly return the Equipment, to the location specified on the Order Form. You will cause the Equipment returned for any reason under this Agreement to be in the same condition as when we delivered it to you, ordinary wear and tear excepted. We reserve the right to charge a cleaning fee for soiled mattress pads and covers that require extra cleaning.

 

7. Compliance with Law. You will comply with all applicable laws, regulations, ordinances and Institution rules.

 

8. Indemnification. You shall indemnify, defend, and hold us harmless against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, claims, actions, judgments, settlements, interest, awards, penalties, fines, costs, or expenses of whatever kind, including attorneys' fees, fees and the costs of enforcing any right to indemnification under this Agreement, and the cost of pursuing any insurance providers, incurred by us relating to any claim by us or of a third party arising out of or occurring in connection with the Equipment or your negligence, willful misconduct, or breach of this Agreement. You shall not enter into any settlement without our prior written consent.

 

9. Term and Termination. The term of this Agreement commences on the date you place your order and continues until the return date specified on your Order Form (the “Term”).
