1 Aim and purpose of terms and conditions – registration
The aim of Second Warehouse is to provide services aimed at enhancing the efficiency of item rental between entities. A reliable source of items available for rent or sub-rent can enhance the services offered by these entities to their clients and to provide an opportunity for entities to promote their own inventory for sub-rental.
All companies wishing to use the Second Warehouse service must register and provide the information requested on the registration page.
By registering as a Second Warehouse user, You confirm to have read, understood, and agree to be bound by the following terms and conditions and further to act in accordance with any and all guidelines, information etc. as may be published by Second Warehouse from time to time. Second Warehouse reserves the right to amend, modify, or replace these Terms of Service from time to time in its sole and absolute discretion. Such modifications will be communicated to You in writing or via this website, and continued use of the services after notification to You will constitute your consent to be bound by and to comply with such modifications. If You object to the modified Terms of Service, your sole recourse will be to cease usage of the site or site services. Second Warehouse reserves the right and ability to terminate a user at any time for any reason or no reason at all, in its sole and absolute discretion.
2 Monitoring of all traffic
In order to provide the best possible service, all activity on the Second Warehouse site and usage of site services is monitored and logged by Second Warehouse.
3 Availability of equipment and cancellations
Any equipment appearing as available in the Second Warehouse database is considered available for sub-rent to any other Second Warehouse user. Suppliers wishing to make certain equipment unavailable for a particular period must take the necessary steps to remove that equipment temporarily from the database by marking it as reserved in the Second Warehouse database. It is the sole responsibility of the supplier to keep his inventory status updated at all times.
It is against the spirit and purpose of the Second Warehouse site and services for suppliers to reject requests for equipment and for renters to cancel transactions following making a request for equipment, although it is understood that this may occur from time to time on a reasonable basis. Users rejecting equipment requests or cancelling transactions may be asked by Second Warehouse to provide a reason for the rejection or cancellation. Should a user repeatedly reject equipment requests or cancel transactions without reasonable cause, the user risks having their Second Warehouse star rating lowered and possible exclusion from the Second Warehouse service (at the sole and reasonable discretion of Second Warehouse).
In the case of exclusion from the service, the user will remain listed on the Second Warehouse users page for a period of time, marked as having been removed from the service for failing to comply with Second Warehouse terms and conditions.
