Operating Hours, Policies, and Procedures for Equipment Rentals
Hours of Operation
Rule Broadcast System's regular operating hours are 8 am to 5:30 pm, Monday through Friday. Services can be provided outside of our regular operating hours by prior arrangement. In an emergency, please call our 24-hour pager at 781.945.0271.
Accounts
In order to rent equipment from Rule, a completed business account application should be submitted to our office no less than one week prior to your first use date to ensure sufficient processing time. First time rentals will be C.O.D., but subsequent rentals for approved accounts will be billed on a net 30 basis.
Insurance
The renter must provide Rule Broadcast Systems with a valid certificate of insurance before the release of equipment. The certificate is required to stipulate the following:
- Renter is providing All Risk coverage that is greater than or equal to the replacement cost of all equipment used on the production.
- Rule Broadcast Systems named as loss payee and additional insured.
- A ten day prior notice of cancellation to Rule Broadcast Systems if insurance is reduced or cancelled.
If desired, an Insurance Waiver can be purchased from Rule Broadcast Systems at 10% of the rental cost of the equipment. If you choose to pay the Insurance Waiver Fee, you are responsible for a $2,500 deductible if the equipment is lost, damaged, or stolen. We do not provide liability coverage
