1. Rental Agreement
By renting equipment from DadCam Rentals (operated by Nightfox Films), you agree to these terms and the Rental Agreement accepted at the time of booking. The Rental Agreement governs specific policies including fees, late returns, cancellations, and equipment care.
2. Payment
Full payment is completed before any equipment ships. We accept all major credit and debit cards. By providing a payment method, you authorize us to charge for the rental, any applicable services, shipping, protection plans, and any fees incurred during the rental period.
At checkout you choose how to pay. Orders booked 35 or more days before the rental start date with a post-discount pre-tax total of $150 or more may be paid in full or placed on the reservation-payment schedule, at your option and at the same total price. If you choose the reservation-payment schedule, you pay a $100 reservation payment at booking, and the remaining balance plus applicable tax is charged automatically to the saved card 28 days before the rental start date, exactly as disclosed and accepted at checkout. The reservation payment is fully refundable until the first balance charge attempt. Orders that do not meet those conditions, and orders where you choose to pay in full, are paid in full at checkout. See the Rental Agreement Payment Schedule for the full terms, including the failed-payment and cancellation policy.
3. Equipment Care
You agree to exercise reasonable care with all rented equipment. If damage or a defect is present when you receive the equipment, notify us within 24 hours of delivery by email or phone; damage not reported within that period is presumed to have occurred during your rental. Report later equipment issues promptly so we can troubleshoot them.
4. Vintage Equipment
All equipment is rented as-is. We test and verify function before every shipment but do not guarantee uninterrupted operation. See the Rental Agreement for our equipment issue policy.
5. Protection Plans
DadGuard and DadGuard+ are contractual liability caps, not insurance policies. Section 6 of the Rental Agreement contains the controlling coverage details, exclusions, and liability caps; the DadGuard page provides a plain-language summary.
6. Shipping
We ship via ground carrier by default, and by UPS air rush shipping when you need the kit sooner than standard shipping can deliver. Delivery dates are estimates, not guarantees. Use the prepaid USPS return label we provide unless we agree to a different method in writing. An unapproved shipping method may result in late fees if it delays the return.
7. Post-Production Services
Footage plans are fulfilled after the camera is returned. Turnaround times are estimates. See the Rental Agreement for full details.
8. Limitation of Liability
DadCam Rentals' total liability for any claim arising from a rental, including equipment malfunction, data loss, or missed events, is limited to a refund of the rental charges paid. We are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including lost revenue, missed footage, or event costs.
9. Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York. Any disputes shall be resolved in Chautauqua County, NY.
10. Changes
We may update these terms from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date.
