+ | ==== Safety & Liability ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | You are 100% responsible to inspect each of my tools you use before using it to ensure your own safety and the safety of others and the safety of property. You become 100% liable and indemnify me for any damage and-or harm from the use of my tools you do to yourself, others, your property, the property of others, and-or my tools. Said liability and indemnification is persistent even if someone besides yourself uses my tools. Said risk of liability arises during the time period at which you accept delivery of my tools until the time that I personally take possession of my tools back. You are 100% responsible to learn how to use the tools properly and safely before use. You are 100% required to read any and all safety and maintenance manuals provided with the tool before use. If the manual doesn' | ||

+ | ==== $25 per Day Minimum ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | I lend out at least $500 worth of tools (my assessed replacement value) in a "tool kit". I charge 5% of that value per day which comes out to a $25 per day minimum. I got into this for pocket money, but I don't want to have my day broken up taking a call, working up a toolkit with a borrower, doing an inventory & inspection of tools before delivery, at the time of delivery, and at the time of pickup. I'm just not willing to do that for $24.99. It's got to be at least $25. That's why I try to pre-package kits that are valued around the $500 mark. | ||

+ | ==== Delivery Only -- Do NOT come to my House Uninvited ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | This isn't a business with a storefront. I'm just a retired guy with a bunch of tools. Most of my tools are loaded up in my pickup. On the average day I'll be out and about town or watching Youtube in my recliner at my house. I live in a pretty quite residential area and I don't want to have unexpected traffic at my house and I'm sure my neighbors don't either. So, the only way to make this work without having " | ||

+ | ==== Mileage ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Presently I charge a $1 per mile from my house to your location for each I pickup and-or delivery I do (rounded up to the nearest mile). I don't charge mileage for driving back to my house. So, if you live 10 miles away (as I drive it) and you borrow a kit on Monday, and a second kit on Tuesday, and I pickup both kits on Wednesday, that's three trips to your place, 30 miles, $30 bucks. |
