Weather

Tents are temporary structures designed to provide limited protection from weather conditions, primarily sun and rain. However, there may be situations, particularly those involving strong winds and lightning, in which the tents will not provide protection and may even be damaged or blown over.
Evacuation of tents to avoid possible injury is recommended when severe weather threatens the area where the tent is erected. People must leave the tents and not seek shelter in tents during such conditions. Because it may be difficult to determine if the weather is severe enough to necessitate evacuation, it is best to err on the side of caution. In other words, if in doubt, evacuate!
CRUX may dismantle any equipment that has been previously installed to ensure safety of all involved.
CRUX will not provide any refunds due to adverse weather conditions.
Customer assumes all risk of such conditions.

Responsibility

RESPONSIBILITY OF THE EQUIPMENT REMAINS WITH THE CLIENT FROM THE TIME OF DELIVERY TO THE TIME OF PICKUP.
Please be sure all equipment is secured when not in use and protected from weather.
All collection fees, attorney fees, court costs, or any expense involved in the collections of rental charges will be the CUSTOMERS responsibility.
Be sure all equipment is returned as specified in the rental agreement policy.
CUSTOMER is solely responsible for any additional charges incurred as a result of failure to meet these conditions.
