The customer agrees to rent the instrument(s) for a minimum of three months. The first three month's rental fees are due when the instrument is rented; these fees are non-refundable.

In the fourth month and thereafter, we will charge the rental fee to the credit card listed below between the 1st and 6th of the month.

Billing:

1. If you rent on or before the 15th of the month, you will pay rent for that month. If you rent on or after the 16th of the month, you will be charged for the following month.
2. If we receive your returned instrument on or before the 15th of the month, you will not be charged for that month. If we receive it on or after the 16th, you will be charged for that month.

Failure to pay any monthly installment constitutes default and will entitle Southwest Strings to demand immediate payment of the full amount outstanding and start collection proceedings. Customer agrees to pay all collection costs, including court costs, and reasonable attorneys' fees as allowed by law.

There is no penalty for prepayment.

The rental customer pays all freight charges related to receipt, exchange and return.

The customer is liable for any loss, damage or theft to the instrument.

This is a not a rent-to-own program. Renter's credit is applied as follows:

2. Your rental credit is good for one year from the time the rental instrument is returned.

All rental instruments must be returned to Southwest Strings, 1721 S. Cherrybell Strav., Tucson, AZ. All unpaid rental fees and shipping fees will be charged to the customer once Southwest Strings receives the instrument.

Once an instrument is returned, Southwest Strings will assess whether the rental instrument has been damaged in any way. Should the instrument be damaged, in any way other than normal wear, customer will be responsible for that damage and the cost to repair the damage will be charged to the customer using the credit card provided in this Rental Agreement.
