The arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding and may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Proper venue for all other civil legal actions commenced in connection herewith shall lie solely and exclusively in the federal, state and local courts located in or nearest to Lancaster County, PA (unless waived by TFR). You consent and submit thereto and waive all claims that such venue lies in an inconvenient forum. YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY AND TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS OR JOINT ACTION.
Miscellaneous: This Contract, together with any Addenda provided by TFR, each of which is incorporated herein, represents the entire agreement between you and TFR, superseding all other agreements and representations, including our website and advertising. You hereby grant to TFR and each TPO a perpetual, paid-up, royalty-free license to edit, distribute, display and copy all audio and visual representations which include any of the Item(s). The terms of this Contract are severable. If any of the term(s) hereof shall be deemed invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, such term(s) will be deleted, and the remainder of this Contract will remain valid and in full force and effect. This Contract cannot be further amended or extended except in a writing signed by TFR. If TFR commences legal action to enforce this Contract, TFR will be entitled to recover its costs and expenses associated therewith (including without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses) from you and/or any guarantor (it being acknowledged that, where required under state law, this attorneys’ fee provision will be deemed reciprocal). Time is of the essence. TFR may, without notice or liability to you, monitor and/or inspect any Rented Item(s) at any time. If any performance required of us is delayed, impaired or rendered more costly as a result of any act or omission of/by you, any Other Provider(s) or any “Act of God” event of force majeure (including fire, flood, storm, earthquake, slide, collapse, subsidence, tsunami, war, terrorism, power surge or outage, epidemic, pandemic and governmental and regulatory actions) or other facts or circumstances beyond our reasonable control, we will be excused from such performance. You waive the benefits of all statutes of limitations regarding TFR’s rights and remedies. All amounts due from you hereunder but not timely paid will bear interest at the lesser of: (a) 18% per annum; or (b) the highest rate permitted under applicable law until paid. You agree to pay TFR the maximum lawful charge for any check you write which is returned unpaid and authorize us to submit all amounts due under this Contract for payment on any debit and/or credit card(s) you provide. TFR’s maximum liability to you in connection with this Contract is limited to the amount(s) actually paid by you to TFR hereunder. These Terms and Conditions will apply to all Item(s) identified on the applicable Order(s), and to all other Items you obtain from TFR at any time (except only as we otherwise agree). You agree to pay all taxes (including all sales and use taxes), tolls, fines, fees, duties, assessments and other charges related to this Contract and/or its subject matter. Neither our exercise, nor our failure or delay in the exercise, of any rights or remedies will constitute an election of remedies or a waiver of any right or remedy we may have. You acknowledge that this Contract: (i) constitutes a true “operating lease” (and not a disguised financing); and (ii) is fair and reasonable. Digital, electronic, photocopied and facsimiled signatures and initials appearing on this Contract and/or any Addendum will be deemed originals.
Masking, Testing, and Vaccination: Our installers will wear a mask upon request indoors or while speaking with you. However, installing tents is very energy intensive and sometimes involves physical exertion. So, they will not be able to wear masks during tent installation. TFR allows each employee to choose whether they want to participate any or all vaccines or COVID-19 or other disease testing. We do NOT require vaccination or testing for our employees.
THEFT WARNING: Wrongfully obtaining property or services of another by deception, threat or other means to avoid payment may be deemed theft under 18 Pa.C.S. § 3926, et seq. and its/their successor provision(s) for additional information.
