These Terms of Service apply to all users of our services and/or equipment. Any use of the above terminology or other words in the singular, plural, capitalization and/or he/she/it or they, are taken as interchangeable and therefore as referring to same.

Overview of Services

Upon purchase of our services, PNS shall rent the equipment to the Renter for the rental period. At the commencement of the rental period, PNS shall deliver the equipment to the Renter’s current address and at the end of the rental period, will pick up the equipment from the Renter’s new address. PNS does NOT assist with packing or moving, which shall be the sole responsibility of the Renter. All equipment shall remain the sole and exclusive property of PNS.

Rental Period

PNS’ standard and minimum rental period is fourteen (14) days. Should the Renter require the equipment for a shorter period of time, the Renter will still be charged for a fourteen (14) day period, regardless of whether the equipment is returned before the end of the rental period. PNS may accommodate longer-term rentals, subject to equipment availability.

Delivery Area

PNS only provides services to Renters who are within our delivery area (both on delivery and pick up of equipment). Click here to see the regions that we service; however, we may also service you if you reside within 100 miles from City, State/Province, United States/Canada in our sole discretion.

Reserving Equipment

The Renter must visit the desired Package page on the website and choose the length of its rental period, subject to the above restrictions. The minimum amount of bins a Renter can rent is twenty (20) bins. The Renter can also choose from optional equipment add-ons after adding the Renter’s desired number of bins to its cart. Once the Renter has submitted its order on our website, PNS will check availability of equipment and, if sufficient equipment is available, PNS will send the Renter an email confirming the rental with further instructions as to next steps. For greater certainty, submitting an order on our website is NOT a guarantee of equipment availability. PNS encourages all Renter's to read the FAQ's on our website to better understand the rental process.

Payment

Payment is due IN FULL upon purchasing our services. Upon checkout on our website, the Renter must choose between bank transfer (E-Transfer) or credit card payment (Stripe).

If paying via e-transfer, the Renter will select e-transfer as its chosen method of payment. The Renter will then receive an email stating the order is "on hold" until payment has been received. PNS will reserve the Renter's order for twenty-four (24) hours after checkout, while waiting for the e-transfer to be received. If payment has not been received within twenty-four (24) hours, PNS will cancel the Renter's order. If payment is received within twenty-four (24) hours, PNS will send the Renter an email confirming the rental, subject to equipment availability.
If paying via credit card, the Renter will select credit card as its chosen method of payment. PNS uses Stripe as a third party credit card payment processor and will not have access to the Renter's credit card number, except for the last four (4) digits. Stripe accepts payment via MasterCard, Visa, American Express, and Discover. Upon checkout, a pre-authorization will be initiated for the full amount owing for PNS's services; however, this amount will not be processed until PNS has checked equipment availability and confirmed the Renter's order.

By agreeing to these Terms of Service, you hereby agree to pay all fees and charges specified on our website, including under these Terms of Service, for the services for which you purchase. All fees are exclusive of applicable taxes, unless otherwise stated, and you are solely responsible for the payment of any such tax that may be imposed on your use of the services. We will charge any fees or other payments you authorize to the account and credit card you designate. If payment is not received from your credit card or other payment method, you agree to pay all amounts due on demand by us. We reserve the right to change the fees for our services or charge a fee where one was not previously charged. All fees charged are final and non-refundable, except as explicitly set out herein.

Changes to Order

PNS requests that Renter's call, text, or email PNS immediately upon requiring a change to its rental period or an increase to the amount of equipment ordered. PNS will try to accommodate the change, subject to equipment availability.

For requested changes to the rental period, if the length of the rental period is not changing but the dates are, PNS will accommodate the change free of charge, subject to equipment availability. If the length of the rental is increasing, PNS will accommodate the change upon payment of PNS's daily rate for equipment rental for the increased period and subject to equipment availability. If PNS cannot accommodate the new dates and the Renter needs to cancel its order, PNS will process the cancellation, subject to the cancellation policy.
For requested changes to the amount or type of equipment, the Renter can request additional equipment. Subject to availability and upon payment for the additional equipment and delivery fees, if the original order has already been delivered to the Renter, the Renter will be emailed a link to schedule another Delivery, and will pay a delivery fee even if the Renter qualified for free delivery on their previous order. If the order has not been delivered yet, there will be no extra delivery charges and the Renter will just pay the difference.

Cancellation Policy

PNS may offer a refund if the Renter cancels its order more than forty-eight (48) hours prior to its scheduled delivery time. For a successfully cancelled order, the full amount will be refunded to the Renter, LESS a five percent (5%) administrative fee. If a Renter cancels its order within forty-eight (48) hours, the Renter will not receive a refund, but will receive a PNS credit for the amount of the order LESS a five percent (5%) administrative fee that can be used toward future rentals of equipment. If the Renter cancels its order after delivery of the equipment, there will be no refund or credit given to the Renter.

Delivery

Within seven (7) days of the commencement of the rental period, the Renter must select a delivery date and time through the booking system. Failure to do so may result in limited availability and delivery options.

There may be occasions where PNS is fully booked for deliveries or where limited delivery times are available that do not coincide with the Renter's preferred schedule. In such cases, PNS may, at its sole discretion and subject to equipment availability, deliver the equipment prior to the commencement of the rental period at no additional charge.

PNS expressly reserves the right to modify the scheduled delivery date and/or time due to weather conditions, traffic delays, vehicle breakdowns, staff illness, emergencies, equipment availability, or any other unforeseen circumstance. In such cases, PNS will make reasonable efforts to notify the Renter as soon as possible.

Under no circumstances shall PNS be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising from a change to the delivery date or delivery time.

After booking their rental, the Renter may select their preferred pick up date and time. If the Renter does not yet know their availability, they may choose to schedule their pick up at a later date. Pick up requests are subject to availability and are not confirmed until approved by PNS.

There may be occasions where PNS is fully booked for pick ups or where limited time options are available that do not coincide with the Renter's preferred schedule. In such cases, PNS may, at its sole discretion and subject to equipment availability, offer a complimentary extra day and perform the pick up on the day following the scheduled end of the rental period.

PNS will send an automated text reminder to the Renter approximately twenty-four (24) hours prior to the scheduled one (1) hour pick up window. The Renter is responsible for ensuring that all rented equipment is accessible and ready for collection during the scheduled time.

PNS expressly reserves the right to modify the Renter's pick up date and/or time due to emergencies, weather conditions, vehicle issues, staffing shortages, or other unforeseen circumstances. In no event shall PNS be liable for any damages, losses, costs, or expenses resulting from such changes.

Self Pick up

Within seven (7) days of the commencement of the Renter's rental period, the Renter must satisfy any outstanding rental requirements and select a Self Pick Up date and time.

There may be occasions where PNS has limited Self Pick Up availability or where available time slots do not coincide with the Renter's preferred schedule. In such cases, PNS may, at its sole discretion and subject to equipment availability, offer the Renter a complimentary extra day and permit Self Pick Up on the day prior to the commencement of the rental period.

PNS will send an automated text reminder to the Renter approximately twenty-four (24) hours prior to the scheduled one (1) hour Self Pick Up window. The Renter is responsible for arriving within the scheduled time window to collect the equipment.

PNS expressly reserves the right to modify the Renter's Self Pick Up date and/or time due to emergencies, scheduling conflicts, weather conditions, vehicle issues, or other unforeseen circumstances. In no event shall PNS be liable for any damages, losses, costs, or expenses arising from such changes.

Self Drop off

The Renter may select their preferred Self Drop Off date and time. If the Renter does not yet know their availability, they may choose to schedule their Self Drop Off at a later date. Self Drop Off requests are subject to availability and are not confirmed until approved by PNS.

In no event shall PNS be liable for any damages, losses, costs, or expenses arising from such changes.

Refused Entry

If for any reason the Renter does not select a pick up date or time, or a self drop off time, refuses to allow PNS to pick up the equipment or does not answer the door at the specified pick up address at the confirmed pick up time, there will be strict penalties for the Renter, as such equipment was likely required for another PNS customer. PNS shall be entitled to charge twice the typical daily rate for rental of the equipment per each day the equipment is held by the Renter after the end of the rental period. PNS shall also be entitled to charge additional pick up fees at the rate specified above for each mile travelled in attempt to pick up the equipment. In the event that the pick up cannot be facilitated within fourteen (14) days from the end of the rental period, the Renter will be charged the full replacement fees for the equipment, as specified below.

Condition of Equipment

PNS warrants that all equipment will be in satisfactory operating condition at the time of delivery, subject to reasonable wear and tear. Immediately upon delivery or self pick up, the Renter is encouraged to carefully inspect the equipment to determine whether it has been damaged during delivery. The Renter shall inform PNS within twenty-four (24) hours of receiving order if any such damage is identified and PNS may replace such equipment free of charge, with no extra delivery charges. If the Renter fails to notify PNS of such damage within twenty-four (24) hours of delivery, the Renter shall be deemed to have accepted the equipment as being in acceptable operating condition.

Damage Deposit

Upon Requesting a Delivery/Self Pick Up Time, PNS will process a damage deposit of $200.00 to the Renter's credit card in order to encourage the Renter to take care of the rental equipment.

The damage deposit is not a limitation of liability. The Renter remains fully responsible for any damaged, lost, missing, stolen, unreturned, excessively dirty, or otherwise compromised equipment, together with any replacement costs, cleaning charges, late fees, collection costs, or other amounts owing under this Agreement.

PNS may apply all or a portion of the damage deposit toward any amounts owing under this Agreement. If the total amount owing exceeds the damage deposit, the Renter shall remain responsible for the outstanding balance.

If the original order was paid by credit card, the Renter authorizes PNS to charge the credit card used for the reservation and/or damage deposit for any amounts owing beyond the value of the damage deposit.

If the original order was paid by e-transfer, or if no valid credit card is available for processing, PNS shall issue an invoice to the Renter for the outstanding balance. Such invoice shall be due and payable within seven (7) calendar days of the invoice date.

If the Renter fails to pay the invoice within the required time period, PNS may pursue any remedies available under applicable law, including referring the account to a collection agency and/or commencing legal proceedings to recover the outstanding balance, together with any collection costs, court costs, legal fees, and other expenses permitted by law.

For greater certainty, PNS shall not be limited to the value of the damage deposit and may recover the full amount of any damages, losses, fees, or charges owed by the Renter under this Agreement.

Damage Waiver

A Damage Waiver fee may be included in the Renter's order. The Damage Waiver is not insurance and is not a damage deposit.

The Damage Waiver is intended to reduce the Renter's responsibility for minor accidental damage to rental equipment, as determined solely by PNS. The Damage Waiver does not cover lost, missing, stolen, unreturned, excessively dirty, negligently damaged, misused, or intentionally damaged equipment. It also does not cover damage resulting from improper use of the equipment or any breach of this Agreement.

PNS reserves the sole right to determine whether any damage, loss, or claim qualifies for coverage under the Damage Waiver.

Any damages, losses, replacement costs, cleaning charges, late fees, or other amounts not covered by the Damage Waiver shall remain the responsibility of the Renter.

If the original order was paid by credit card, the Renter authorizes PNS to charge the credit card used for the reservation for any amounts owing under this Agreement.

If the original order was paid by e-transfer, or if no valid credit card is available for processing, PNS shall issue an invoice to the Renter for the amount owing. Such invoice shall be due and payable within seven (7) calendar days of the invoice date.

The Renter acknowledges and agrees that the purchase of a Damage Waiver does not eliminate the Renter's responsibility for damages, losses, fees, or charges that are not covered by the Damage Waiver.

Authorization to Charge Credit Card for Damages

No damage deposit is required for this rental. However, the Renter remains fully responsible for any damaged, lost, missing, stolen, unreturned, excessively dirty, or otherwise compromised equipment, together with any replacement costs, cleaning charges, late fees, collection costs, or other amounts owing under this Agreement.

If the original order was paid by credit card, the Renter authorizes PNS to charge the credit card used for the reservation for any amounts owing under this Agreement. Such charges may be processed after the rental period has ended and after the condition and quantity of all returned equipment has been verified.

The Renter acknowledges and agrees that their responsibility for damages, losses, fees, and other charges is not limited by the absence of a damage deposit.

Cleaning Fees

PNS will have inspected, cleaned and sanitized all equipment with our eco-friendly cleaner prior to delivery. Upon pick up of the equipment, the Renter is not required to clean the equipment; however, if PNS determines, in its sole discretion, that there is excessive debris, dirt, or pet fur in or on the equipment, PNS shall be entitled to charge a cleaning fee of $2.00 per piece of equipment, which shall be retained from the aforementioned damage deposit.

Replacement Fees

Proper care of the equipment during the rental period shall be the sole responsibility of the Renter. The following replacement fees shall apply in the event that the equipment is damaged, lost, stolen or not returned (regardless of whether such damage, loss or theft is due to the fault of the Renter):

$125.00 per bin; and
$150.00 per dolly

PNS shall be entitled to retain the above fees from the aforementioned damage deposit; however, in the event the damage deposit is not sufficient to cover the full replacement fees, PNS shall be entitled to charge the full value of the replacement fees to the credit card on file. Equipment should always be left indoors to avoid the chance of theft or damage. The Renter SHALL NOT use tape or labels on any of the equipment, other than the labels that PNS provides to the Renter, which may be placed on the bins. Such labels are only to be placed on the rough spot on the side of the bin below the handles, and shall not be placed over the logo as this will cause damage and may result in charges to the Renter.

No alteration to the equipment shall be made without the prior written consent of PNS.
