I was about to rent a pin from a local supplier, but in their rental contract, it states ->
"The client agrees to pay any other potential fees for parts and labor arising from any damage to the
machine during this contract up to the maximum cost of a brand new machine of the same or comparable
title + any shipping costs, including but not limited to anything that may arise from regular play."
I asked him about it, because he was going to leave the pin locked at the house, and was willing to drive to get stuck balls. Fine. And I totally understand me being responsible for any damage to a pin caused by myself. Such as ...broken glass, bent legs, cabinet scratches, whatever.
But he confirmed that yes....if something internal breaks, like...a motherboard, or monitor, ...anything...I would be responsible for paying for fixing the pin.
Does that sound reasonable to anybody else? Why would I be responsible for something that I would have no direct access to?
Like...if I rent a car, I'm absolutely responsible for damages caused by my negligence...like a car accident. But if the A/C compressor goes out, or the radiator goes out...or whatever...the rental car company is responsible for that. It should be the same with renting a pin.
So unfortunately...I haven't rented the pin that I wanted from him.
