Rental Agreement

1. Parties

This Rental Agreement (the "Agreement") is made between RSM Trading LLC, whose address for notices is 12401 Village Square Terrace, Rockville, MD 20852 ("Owner"), and the person identified below as the renter ("Renter").

Renter: [Renter name]; date of birth January 1, 2000; residing at [Renter address]; telephone [Renter phone]; email [Renter email]; driver's license no. [License number], issued by [State], expiring January 1, 2030.

2. The Trailer

Owner rents to Renter the following trailer (the "Trailer"): Utility Trailer.

VIN: ______________ (recorded on the Pickup Condition Report). License plate: ______________ (recorded on the Pickup Condition Report).

"Trailer" includes all keys, locks, tie-downs, accessories, equipment, and documents provided with it.

3. Rental Period and Location

Pickup: Tuesday, January 1, 2030 at 10:00 AM EST.

Return: Wednesday, January 2, 2030 at 10:00 AM EST (the "Return Time").

Pickup and return location: 12401 Village Square Terrace, Rockville, MD 20852, unless Owner agrees in writing to a different location.

The rental period may be extended only with Owner's written consent (text or email is sufficient) and payment of the additional charges before the original Return Time.

4. Charges and Payment

1 day at daily rate: $150.00

Fleet coverage fee (required), 1 day: $25.00

Maryland rental tax (8%): $14.00

Total due before pickup: $189.00

Renter must pay the total in full online before the rental begins. This Agreement takes effect only when Owner receives that payment. If payment is not completed within 35 minutes after Renter signs, the reservation is released and this Agreement is void and of no effect.

No security deposit is collected at booking. Instead, Renter authorizes Owner to keep the payment card used at checkout on file with Owner's payment processor for the additional charges described in Section 17.

5. Fleet Coverage Fee — Not Insurance for Renter

The fleet coverage fee listed in Section 4 is a mandatory part of the rental price that helps pay for Owner's own commercial insurance on the Trailer. It is not an insurance policy issued to Renter. It is not a collision damage waiver. It does not waive, reduce, or limit Renter's responsibility for loss of or damage to the Trailer under Section 12, or for injury to people or damage to property under Section 14.

Renter should check whether Renter's own automobile insurance, credit card, or other coverage applies to this rental and to any vehicle Renter uses to tow the Trailer.

6. Renter Eligibility and Representations

Renter represents and warrants that:

Renter is at least 21 years old.

Renter holds a valid, unrestricted driver's license that will remain valid through the Return Time, and will present it at pickup. The name and license details given above are true and correct.

Renter is not under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or any substance that impairs driving, and has no license suspension or revocation.

Renter maintains automobile liability insurance, at least at the minimum limits required by Maryland law, on the vehicle that will tow the Trailer, and that insurance is in force for the entire rental period.

All information Renter has given Owner is true and complete. Owner is relying on these statements in renting the Trailer to Renter.

7. Authorized Driver

Only Renter may tow the Trailer, unless Owner approves another driver in writing before that person tows it. Renter is responsible for the acts of anyone who tows or uses the Trailer.

8. Permitted and Prohibited Use

Renter will use the Trailer carefully, lawfully, and only for Renter's own lawful purposes within Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia. Renter will not allow the Trailer to be used:

by anyone impaired by alcohol, drugs, or any other substance, or by anyone without a valid license;

to carry people or property for hire, for rideshare or delivery work, or for any commercial purpose, unless Owner agrees in writing;

in any race, speed test, or contest, or off paved or properly maintained roads;

to carry more weight than the manufacturer's rated capacity, or loads that are unsecured, extend unsafely, or could damage the Trailer;

to carry hazardous, flammable, explosive, or illegal materials, or for any purpose that violates any law;

to carry any person or animal inside the Trailer;

for smoking or vaping of any substance inside it;

outside the travel area above, or by being sublet, loaned, pledged, or sold.

Use that violates this Section is a material breach of this Agreement.

9. Towing Requirements

Renter is solely responsible for making sure the towing vehicle is rated to tow the loaded Trailer, and has a correctly sized hitch and ball, working trailer lights and wiring, and any brake controller the Trailer requires. Renter will attach safety chains, check the coupler, lights, tires, and load before every trip, and follow all towing laws and speed limits. Owner may refuse to release the Trailer if the towing setup appears unsafe. A refusal for that reason is treated as a cancellation by Renter under Section 18.

10. Condition, Inspection, and Return

Before the rental, Owner and Renter will inspect the Trailer and record its condition and any existing damage on a Pickup Condition Report, which may include photographs. That report is part of this Agreement. Renter accepts the Trailer in the condition recorded.

Renter will return the Trailer to the return location by the Return Time, in the same condition as at pickup except for ordinary wear and tear, reasonably clean, and with all keys and equipment. Owner will inspect it at return. If Renter is not present, Owner's inspection and photographs will be used to record the return condition.

If the Trailer needs more than ordinary cleaning, Renter will pay the reasonable cleaning cost, up to $150.00. If anyone has smoked or vaped in it, Renter will pay a fee of $250.00 for odor removal. A lost key costs $150.00.

11. Late Return and Failure to Return

There is a grace period of 59 minutes after the Return Time. After that, Renter will pay $150.00 for each additional 24 hours or part of 24 hours, plus a late fee of $50.00, plus any applicable coverage fee and tax on those amounts.

If the Trailer is not returned within 24 hours after the Return Time and Renter has not arranged an extension, Owner may treat the Trailer as unlawfully withheld, recover it wherever it is found without further notice, and report it to law enforcement. Renter will pay Owner's reasonable costs of recovery.

12. Responsibility for Loss or Damage to the Trailer

From pickup until Owner receives the Trailer back, Renter is responsible for all loss of, theft of, and damage to the Trailer, whatever the cause, including vandalism, weather, and the acts of others. This does not apply to damage caused by Owner's negligence or by a defect Owner knew or should have known about. Renter's responsibility includes:

the reasonable cost of repair, or, if the Trailer is stolen or not economically repairable, its fair market value at the time of loss, less any salvage value Owner receives;

loss of use, measured by the daily rental rate for the reasonable time the Trailer is out of service, limited to periods when Owner can show the Trailer would otherwise have been rented;

diminished value, towing, storage, and reasonable appraisal and administrative costs.

Owner will give Renter an itemized statement of these amounts, with supporting estimates or invoices on request. Payment by Owner's own insurer does not reduce Renter's responsibility to Owner, except that Owner will not recover the same loss twice.

13. Accidents, Theft, and Breakdowns

If there is any accident, theft, or damage, Renter will immediately notify the police when required by law and notify Owner at (240) 910-0257 or mechanicsrentals3390@gmail.com. Renter will get the names, addresses, license and insurance details of everyone involved and any witnesses, will not admit fault or settle any claim, and will cooperate with Owner and Owner's insurer.

If the Trailer breaks down or develops a problem (such as with a tire, light, coupler, or brake), Renter will stop using it as soon as it is safe to do so and call Owner. Renter will not have repairs made without Owner's approval. Owner will reimburse approved repairs on presentation of receipts. If a breakdown was not caused by Renter's breach of this Agreement, Owner will refund the charges for the unused rental time, or provide a replacement if one is available. That is Renter's sole remedy for the breakdown, except as limited by law.

14. Liability to Others and Indemnity

To the extent permitted by law, Renter will defend, indemnify, and hold Owner harmless from all claims, losses, fines, and expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees, arising from the use, operation, loading, or towing of the Trailer during the rental, except to the extent caused by Owner's own negligence or willful misconduct.

Owner is not responsible for any property left in, carried in, or loaded onto the Trailer, and Renter will remove all property at return. Except where the law does not allow it, Owner is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including lost profits or moving and storage costs.

15. Tolls, Tickets, and Fines

Renter is responsible for all tolls, parking tickets, camera citations, traffic fines, impound fees, and similar charges incurred during the rental. If Owner receives any of them, Owner may pay or transfer them to Renter and charge Renter the amount plus an administrative fee of $25.00 for each one. Owner may give Renter's name and address to the issuing authority.

16. Repossession

If Renter breaches this Agreement in a way that puts the Trailer or public safety at risk, or gives false information, Owner may end the rental early and recover the Trailer without prior notice, as permitted by law. Renter will pay Owner's reasonable recovery costs. Rental charges for the unused time are not refunded in that case.

17. Authorization for Additional Charges

Renter authorizes Owner to charge the payment method used at checkout for amounts Renter owes under Sections 9, 10, 11, 12, 15, and 16. Before charging any amount other than a late return charge under Section 11, Owner will send Renter an itemized notice by email, and will wait at least 7 days for Renter to respond, unless Renter agrees to the charge sooner. Renter may dispute any charge by replying to that notice, and Owner will review the dispute in good faith. Amounts not paid when due may be pursued by any lawful means.

18. Cancellations and Refunds

Renter may cancel by contacting Owner at (240) 910-0257 or mechanicsrentals3390@gmail.com. If Renter cancels at least 48 hours before pickup, Owner will refund all charges. If Renter cancels less than 48 hours before pickup, Owner will refund all charges except one day's rental rate of $150.00 plus applicable tax. If Renter does not appear for pickup within 2 hours after the pickup time and has not cancelled, the booking is a no-show and no refund is due.

If Owner cancels for any reason, or cannot provide the Trailer in safe working condition, Owner will refund all charges. That refund is Renter's sole remedy for the cancellation.

19. Personal Information

Owner collects Renter's contact, identity, and driver's license information to verify eligibility, manage the rental, and keep records required for tax, insurance, and legal purposes. Owner will not sell it. Owner may share it with Owner's insurer, payment processor, law enforcement, or toll and citation authorities as described in this Agreement or as required by law.

20. Electronic Records and Signatures

Renter agrees to sign this Agreement electronically and to receive it and related notices electronically, under the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (15 U.S.C. § 7001 et seq.) and the Maryland Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (Md. Code, Commercial Law, Title 21). Renter's typed name and drawn signature have the same effect as a handwritten signature.

To view and keep this Agreement, Renter needs a device with a current web browser, an email account, and software that opens PDF files. Renter may request a paper copy at no charge, and may withdraw consent to electronic records going forward, by contacting Owner at mechanicsrentals3390@gmail.com. Withdrawing consent does not affect the validity of this signed Agreement. Renter should notify Owner of any change to Renter's email address.

21. General Terms

This Agreement, including the Pickup Condition Report and the charges shown in Section 4, is the entire agreement between the parties about this rental. It replaces any earlier statements, and may be changed only in a writing signed or confirmed by email by both parties.

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Maryland. The parties agree that any lawsuit about this Agreement will be brought in the courts located in Montgomery County, Maryland, except that either party may bring a claim in small claims court where the law allows. In any lawsuit to enforce this Agreement, the prevailing party may recover reasonable attorney's fees and costs to the extent permitted by law.

If any part of this Agreement is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect, and that part will be enforced to the maximum extent allowed. Owner's failure to enforce any term is not a waiver of it. Renter may not assign this Agreement. Notices to Renter may be sent to the email address above. Notices to Owner may be sent to mechanicsrentals3390@gmail.com or to Owner's address above.

Nothing in this Agreement limits any right Renter has under Maryland or federal consumer protection law that cannot be waived by contract.
