9.Description of Rental Offer


  • The Rental Offers describe the objects, products, goods and services that are currently on offer for rent (the “Equipment”). They can only include the words, documents and images which the member decides to put online. Members are responsible for their Content, especially with regards to any intellectual property claims which might be made by a third party. All the objects, products, goods, services, and spaces must be placed in the appropriate category. Any Member, including you, who posts a Rental Offer (an "Owner") is solely responsible for ensuring proper category choices for their rental offers. Placement of an offer in a particular category by an Owner can in no instance be interpreted as a guarantee on Urent’s part regarding the origin and authenticity of said rental object. An Owner must have either all ownership rights to an object, or all rights allowing them to put the object they have listed up for rent. Any material terms and conditions of a Rental Offer, including, but not limited to, cost of rental, security deposit, delivery, maintenance fees, or any additional fees, representations or warranties must be clearly indicated in the Rental Offer. Further, if any Rental Agreement is to be proposed by the Owner it must be attached to the Rental Offer. While the Rental Offer will include the Owner’s city and State, the Owner may make no mention of personal contact information anywhere on the Rental Offer. Things that are considered as contact information include, but are not limited to, the physical location of the Item, the Owner’s physical address, fax, telephone number, mailing address email address, or any other way to contact the Owner outside of the Urents interface.


10. Insurance


  • urent.co.nz recommends that Owners obtain appropriate insurance for their Rental Offers. Please review any insurance policy that you may have for your Offer and any property relating to your offering carefully, and in particular please make sure that you are familiar with and understand any exclusions to, and any deductibles that may apply for, such insurance policy, including, but not limited to, whether or not your insurance policy will cover the actions or inactions of Renters (and the individuals who the Renter invites to participate in the service or activity, if applicable) while participating in the service or activity you sponsor.
  • It is the Renter’s responsibility to insure the Equipment for the period of use. Should the Equipment be lost or damaged as a result of anything outside of the Renter’s control (such as flooding, fire, or theft), the Renter is still liable for the repair or replacement of the Equipment. The Renter shall take out insurance satisfactory to the Owner and equal to the full replacement value of the Equipment unless otherwise agreed to by the Owner.
  • urent.co.nz recommends that Owners take a photocopy or photograph of the Renter’s identification prior to the transaction when the owner and renter meet for the exchange of the item or service. Additionally, urent.co.nz recommends that Renters also take a photocopy or photograph of the Owner’s identification.


11.Non-rentable Objects and Goods


  • You agree that any Items that you offer for rent in a Rental Offer are:
  • only objects, spaces, goods, and services that are part of regular market commerce;
  • authorised under local, state, and federal laws to be held, used, and leased;
  • free of defects that would put persons or other property in danger;
  • not counter to the public good or unethical; or
  • not on the Prohibited Items List.
  • The responsibility lies with Owner to ensure that the objects he or she offers for rent are legal, authorised and not forbidden. In cases where illegal products are offered for rent, penal and/or civil responsibilities may be incurred. All Members who become aware of a rental offer that involves forbidden goods agree to contact urent.co.nz immediately via email at info@urent.co.nz. urent.co.nz reserves the right to remove from its website any listings which are against the law, and/or contrary to its principles and morals. Urent also reserves the right to ban the Member who posted said offer.

13.urent.co.nz is not a Party to Any Rental Agreement


  • urent.co.nz does not itself offer any rental services. The site is an online marketplace only, designed for the unique purpose of putting people who want to rent items and spaces in touch with people who have items and spaces to rent. We never intervene in the transaction between the Renter and the Owner. urent.co.nz cannot thus be considered part of the Rental Agreement between members of the Site. Urent exercises no control over the quality, safety or legality of Items listed, or over the truthfulness or accuracy of the Rental Offers, or over the ability of Owners to rent the Items listed or over the ability of the Renters to rent or pay for the rental of any Items. We do not guarantee that the Parties will complete any or all terms of the transaction.
  • Any security deposits or guarantees required by the Owner in whatever form remains the sole responsibility of the Renter and Owner. urent.co.nz is not responsible for the collection, retention, or refunding of any security deposit, for the control of the exact identity of the Owner and the Renter, or for collecting money owed by the Renter to the Owner or by the Owner to the Renter. Accordingly, urent recommends that you seek professional advice when preparing your own Rental Agreement.

The Renter acknowledges that the Renter has examined the Equipment and that it is in good condition except as otherwise specified in the Condition Report. The OWNER MAKES NO WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, USAGE OF TRADE OR OTHERWISE, AND EXPRESSLY EXCLUDES AND DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
