PLAY Event Rentals, a division of Tony Schwartz Productions, LLC, and its affiliates and subsidiaries (hereinafter “PLAY”) welcome you to PLAYEventRentals.com. By clicking or tapping “Sign In”, “Create Account”, “Place Order” or entering or otherwise using our website, www.playeventrentals.com (the “Site”), you agree to and accept these terms and conditions that govern your use of the Site (the “Terms of Use” or “Terms”). Certain rental items and services on our Site (the “Equipment”) may have additional terms and conditions that apply and are incorporated in these Terms. If these Terms of Use are inconsistent with terms applicable to a certain product or service, those other terms will control. Furthermore, these Terms of Use do not supersede the terms & conditions of our Rental Agreement.

By accessing and/or using the Site, you represent and warrant that you have the right, authority, and capacity to enter into the terms and to abide by all of the requirements set forth herein. You may not access or use this site or accept these Terms of Use unless you are at least 18 years old.

Arbitration Notice: These Terms contain an arbitration clause a little later on. You and PLAY agree that disputes between us will be resolved by binding arbitration, and you and PLAY waive any right to participate in a class-action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration.

Privacy Policy

Please review our Privacy Policy, which also governs your use of our Site and is incorporated in these Terms, to understand our practices.

Electronic Communications

When you use our Site, or send e-mails, text messages, use video calling and other communications from your desktop or mobile device to us, you are communicating with us electronically. You consent to receive communications from us electronically, such as e-mails, texts, mobile push notices, or notices and messages on this Site, and you can retain copies of these communications for your records. You agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing. Where required by applicable law, we will seek express prior written consent for marketing text messages or calls to you.

You agree to immediately notify PLAY of any unauthorized use or suspected unauthorized use of your PLAY Account or any other actual or potential breach of security.

Rental Order Acceptance

The receipt of a rental order number or an email rental order confirmation does not constitute the acceptance of a rental order or confirmation of an agreement to rent. PLAY reserves the right, without prior notification, to limit the order quantity on any rental items and/or to refuse service to any customer. Verification of information may be required prior to the acceptance of an order. Prices and availability of Equipment are subject to change without notice. Errors will be corrected when discovered and PLAY reserves the right to revoke any stated offer and to correct any error, inaccuracy, or omission (including after an order has been submitted). Certain orders constitute improper use of the Site. PLAY reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to refuse or cancel any order for any reason. Your PLAY Account may also be restricted or terminated for any reason, at PLAY’s sole discretion.

Equipment Descriptions

PLAY attempts to be as accurate as possible. However, PLAY does not warrant that Equipment descriptions, depictions, colors, dimensions, or other content on the Site are accurate, complete, reliable, current or error-free.

Permissible Uses of the Site

Subject to these Terms of Use, PLAY grants you a limited, non-transferable, non-exclusive, license to access and make personal use of the Site.

The Site contains valuable trademarks and service marks owned, controlled or used by or licensed to PLAY, including but not limited to, PLAY, the PLAY design logo, the tag line “Rentals So Easy, All You Have To Do Is Play” (collectively, the “Marks”). Any use of the Marks without the prior written permission of PLAY is strictly prohibited. The arrangement and layout of the Site including but not limited to, the Marks, images, text, graphics, buttons, screenshots, and other content or material are the sole and exclusive property of PLAY.

UNAUTHORIZED COPYING, REPRODUCTION, MODIFYING, REPUBLISHING, UPLOADING, DOWNLOADING, POSTING, TRANSMITTING, MAKING DERIVATIVE WORKS OF OR DUPLICATING ALL OR ANY PART OF THE SITE IS PROHIBITED.

PLAY uses a network of independent equipment and content suppliers, distributors and other third parties to supply some of the Equipment and content advertised on the Site. All other trademarks, service marks, product names, package designs and company names or logos associated with this Equipment, and other such third parties, that are not owned by us but that appear on the Site are the property of their respective owners.

User Content

“User Content” of the Site’s user means any and all information and content, including photographs, that such user submits to PLAY by any means, including through social media (e.g., Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter), uses with the Site (e.g., a user profile, product review, question & answer), or when you otherwise interact with PLAY (e.g., when you call customer service, send us emails). You are solely responsible for your User Content.

You may not state or imply that your User Content is in any way provided, sponsored, or endorsed by PLAY. Because you alone are responsible for your User Content (and not PLAY), you may expose yourself to liability if, for example, your User Content violates the Acceptable Use policy. PLAY is not obligated to backup any User Content, makes no representation that it will do so, and you agree that PLAY may delete User Content at any time.

By submitting your User Content or using it with the Site , you automatically grant, and you represent and warrant that you have the right to grant, to PLAY an irrevocable, nonexclusive, royalty-free and fully paid worldwide license to reproduce, distribute, publicly display and perform, prepare derivative works of, incorporate into other works, and otherwise use your User Content, and to grant sublicenses of the foregoing, solely for the purposes of including your User Content in the Site, PLAY social media platforms or marketing or promotional initiatives.

PLAY will treat any feedback, communications, or suggestions you provide to PLAY as non-confidential and non-proprietary subject to the limits of applicable law and our Privacy Policy. Thus, in the absence of a written agreement with PLAY to the contrary, you agree that you will not submit to PLAY any information or ideas that you consider to be confidential or proprietary.

Because we do not control User Content, you acknowledge and agree that we are not responsible for any User Content and we make no guarantees regarding the accuracy, currency, suitability, or quality of any User Content, and we assume no responsibility for any User Content. Your interactions with other Site users are solely between you and such user. You agree that PLAY will not be responsible for any loss or damage incurred as the result of any such interactions. If there is a dispute between you and any Site user, we are under no obligation to become involved.

Disclaimer of Warranties

NEITHER PLAY NOR ITS THIRD PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS, CONTRACTORS, PARTNERS, SUPPLIERS OR AFFILIATES WARRANT THE ACCURACY, OR COMPLETENESS OF THE CONTENT PROVIDED ON THIS SITE OR THE EQUIPMENT OR SERVICES OFFERED FOR SALE ON THIS SITE. WE CANNOT AND DO NOT WARRANT THAT YOUR USE OF THIS SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE OR ERROR FREE. Accordingly, to the extent permitted by applicable law, PLAY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PURPOSE, AND ANY WARRANTIES THAT MAY ARISE FROM COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE OR USAGE OF TRADE. Some jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer of warranties so such disclaimers may not apply to you.

Limitation on Liability

IN NO EVENT SHALL PLAY, OUR OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AFFILIATES, SUBSIDIARIES, PARENTS, JOINT VENTURES, SUCCESSORS AND ANY OTHER COMPANIES UNDER COMMON CONTROL WITH US, OR ANY INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS, (“PLAY GROUP”), BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY LOST PROFIT OR ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH PLAY GROUP, YOUR USE OF THE SITE, PRODUCTS, OR THIRD PARTY SITES, OR YOUR INTERACTION WITH OR RELIANCE ON ANY ADVICE FROM ANY SUCH PERSON OR ENTITY EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. ACCESS TO, AND USE OF, THE SITE, EQUIPMENT AND THIRD PARTY SITES AND ANY INTERACTIONS WITH OR RELIANCE ON ADVICE FROM ANY SUCH PERSON OR ENTITY ARE AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION AND RISK, AND YOU WILL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE IN CONNECTION THEREWITH INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO YOUR COMPUTER SYSTEM OR LOSS OF DATA RESULTING THEREFROM. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED HEREIN, OUR LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH PLAY GROUP, ANY INTERACTIONS WITH OR RELIANCE ON ADVICE FROM ANY SUCH PERSON OR ENTITY, OR THESE TERMS (FOR ANY CAUSE WHATSOEVER AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF THE ACTION), WILL AT ALL TIMES BE LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (A) FIFTY US DOLLARS ($50) OR (B) AMOUNTS YOU’VE PAID PLAY IN THE PRIOR 12 MONTHS. WE AGREE THAT ANY CLAIM BETWEEN US MUST BE BROUGHT WITHIN TWO (2) YEARS OF THE EVENT(S) GIVING RISE TO SUCH CLAIM.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OF CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER LEGAL RIGHTS THAT VARY FROM JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION.

Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold PLAY Group harmless, including costs and attorneys’ fees, from any claim or demand made by any third party due to or arising out of (a) your use of the Site or Equipment, (b) your User Content, (c) your violation of these Terms, or (d) your interaction with such independent contractors or reliance on any advice provided by them. PLAY Group reserves the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which you are required to indemnify us and you agree to cooperate with our defense of these claims. You agree not to settle any matter without the prior written consent of PLAY. PLAY will use reasonable efforts to notify you of any such claim, action or proceeding upon becoming aware of it.

Dispute Resolution and Agreement to Individual Arbitration

EXCEPT FOR A CLAIM THAT MAY BE BROUGHT IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT, YOU AND PLAY AGREE TO GIVE UP ANY RIGHTS TO LITIGATE CLAIMS IN A COURT OR BEFORE A JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION WITH RESPECT TO A CLAIM. OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE IF YOU WENT TO COURT, SUCH AS ACCESS TO DISCOVERY, ALSO MAY BE UNAVAILABLE OR LIMITED IN ARBITRATION.

Any and all disputes between you and PLAY Group, including disputes arising from or relating to the Site, these Terms of Use, the Privacy Policy, and any other terms and conditions that may apply to our Site and/or Equipment, programs and services and their interpretation or the breach, termination or validity thereof, any purchase on the Site, communications between you and PLAY Group, the reliance on any advice provided by such independent contractors, or any Equipment or promotions provided by PLAY Group, including disputes about the validity, scope or enforceability of this arbitration provision (collectively, “Covered Disputes”) will be settled by binding arbitration administered by a mutually agreed upon arbitrator in the State of Washington, under its rules applicable to consumer disputes, in effect on the date thereof. For purposes of this section, these Terms of Use and related transactions will be subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. sec. 1-16 (FAA). Notwithstanding the above, you or PLAY Group can bring any individual claim in a Pierce Country small claims court consistent with the jurisdictional limitations of such court.

Prior to initiating any arbitration, the initiating party will give the other party at least 60-days’ advanced written notice of its intent to file for arbitration. PLAY Group will provide such notice by e-mail to your e-mail address on file with PLAY Group and you must provide such notice by e-mail to hello@playeventrentals.com. During such 60-day notice period, the parties will endeavor to settle amicably by mutual discussions any Covered Disputes. Failing such amicable settlement and expiration of the notice period, either party may initiate arbitration. The arbitrator will have the power to grant whatever relief would be available in court under law or in equity, including public injunctive relief, and any award of the arbitrator(s) will be final and binding on each of the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. This provision is a precondition to any arbitration demand.

PLAY GROUP AND YOU AGREE THAT ANY COVERED DISPUTE HEREUNDER WILL BE SUBMITTED TO ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY. NEITHER PLAY NOR YOU ARE ENTITLED TO ARBITRATE ANY COVERED DISPUTE AS A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY ACTION AND THE ARBITRATOR(S) WILL HAVE NO AUTHORITY TO PROCEED ON A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL BASIS. If any provision of the agreement to arbitrate in this section is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision will be severed and the remaining arbitration terms will be enforced (but in no case will there be a class, representative or private attorney general arbitration).

Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms to the contrary, we agree that if PLAY Group makes any future material change to this dispute resolution provision, it will not apply to any individual claim(s) that you had already provided notice to PLAY Group. In the event that this arbitration agreement does not apply to a given dispute, then the parties agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in Tacoma, Washington to resolve such claims.

Term and Termination

Subject to this Section, these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect while you use the Site. We may (a) suspend your rights to use the Site (as well as your PLAY Account) or (b) terminate the Terms, at any time for any reason at our sole discretion, including for any use of the Site in violation of the Terms or if we believe you are younger than 18. Upon termination of these Terms, your PLAY Account and right to access and use the Site will terminate immediately. You understand that any termination of your PLAY Account may involve deletion of any User Content you may have posted. PLAY will not have any liability whatsoever to you for any termination of these Terms, including for termination of your PLAY Account or deletion of your User Content.

The provisions herein related to our intellectual property rights, User Content, acceptable use, disclaimer of warranties, indemnity, limitation and liability, and dispute resolution, including individual arbitration together with any other rights and obligations which by their nature are reasonably intended to survive such termination, including the end of any other aspect of the relationship between you and PLAY, including your decision to stop renting from PLAY or the cancellation or end of any participation in any service, program, or promotion offered by PLAY, will survive any termination of these Terms of Use.

Respect for Copyright Law—Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”)

PLAY respects the intellectual property of others and asks that users of our Site do the same. Except as authorized above, you are not permitted access or use of any of PLAY’s Intellectual Property without our prior written consent or the consent of such third party that may own intellectual property with respect to Equipment displayed on Site. In connection with our Site, Equipment, and any services we offer, we have adopted and reasonably implemented a policy respecting copyright law that provides for the removal of any infringing materials and for the termination, in appropriate circumstances, of users of our Site who are repeat infringers of intellectual property rights, including copyrights. If you believe that your work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement and wish to have the allegedly infringing material removed from our Site, the following information in the form of a written notification (pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)) must be provided to our designated Copyright Agent:

  1. your physical or electronic signature;
  2. identification of the copyrighted work(s) that you claim to have been infringed;
  3. identification of the material on our services that you claim is infringing and that you request us to remove;
  4. sufficient information to permit us to locate such material;
  5. your address, telephone number, and e-mail address;
  6. a statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the objectionable material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or under the law; and
  7. a statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are either the owner of the copyright that has allegedly been infringed or that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

Please note that, pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any misrepresentation of material fact (falsities) in a written notification automatically subjects the complaining party to liability for any damages, costs and attorneys’ fees incurred by us in connection with the written notification and allegation of copyright infringement.
