Question 16

What if I return late or don’t respond?

We send reminders before return time. If the gear isn’t returned and we don’t hear from you, it may be treated as an unauthorized extension, and extra charges may apply. Keeping us informed avoids inconvenience. For more details, please refer to the agreement policy.
