MAT RENTAL AND LEASE
Mat Availability: GCM Quotations are subject to availability of mats.
Rental Term: Mat rent shall commence the day that mats are delivered to the jobsite and shall continue until the later of the date the mats are physically returned to and accepted by the Company at Company’s designated location or the date that all payments for damaged and unreturned mats, including any applicable late fees and interest, have been received in full by the Company. Company reserves the right to terminate the rental term early upon notice to the Customer.
Freight and Mat Rent: Amounts for freight and mat rent included in Quotations are provided only as an estimate. Final freight values and rental rate for mats will be verified with Customer at the time the order is confirmed. Customer agrees to pay the actual costs for freight and mat rent as invoiced by Company, which may differ from the estimated amounts. If Customer objects to the final amounts, Customer must provide written notice within three (3) business days of receiving the confirmation, or such amounts shall be deemed accepted.
Delivery and Return of Mats: When the Customer is responsible for cost of mat delivery or mat return, the Company shall invoice the Customer for delivery and return of the mats. Such costs shall include, but are not limited to, freight charges, detention fees or penalties and loading fees. In the event the Company agrees that the mats may be relocated from the original location to another location of the Customer’s choosing, the Customer shall pay all costs for such relocation and the Customer remains responsible for such mats including all payment obligations.
Damaged Mat Liability and Compensation: The Customer agrees to be responsible for, and assumes strict liability for, any and all damage, loss and/or destruction to any mats, while such mats are in Customer’s or its subcontractors’ or agents’ possession, custody, or control except for damage caused solely by ordinary wear and tear as determined by Company in its sole discretion. As applicable, Customer agrees to pay to the Company: (i) the actual cost to repair any damaged mats while in the possession of, and used by, the Customer (except for any damage solely and directly caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Company), plus any costs for inspection, transportation, and loss of rental revenue during the repair period, or (ii) the full replacement cost of such mats as determined by Company’s then-current pricing for mats that are lost, stolen, destroyed or damaged beyond repair (including chemical contamination, excessive wear, or structural damage rendering the mat unsafe or unsuitable for rental), while in the Customer’s possession. Company shall have sole discretion to determine whether mats are repairable or damaged beyond repair. All payments under this provision shall be due within ten (10) days of Company’s invoice. Regardless of any rent or lease payments made as contemplated herein, the mats always shall remain exclusively the property of the Company.
Use of the Mats: During the Rental Term, the Customer shall use the mats only in accordance with the intended purposes made known to and accepted by the Company and in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances. Without the prior written consent of the Company, the Customer shall retain the mats in its possession, shall not relocate the mats to any other location, and shall not permit the mats to be used or possessed by any third party other than subcontractors of the Customer expressly approved in writing by the Company.

Mat Inspection: The Customer agrees to inspect the mats within 48 hours of delivery and to provide written notice to the Company within such 48-hour period in the event such inspection determines any non-conformance of the mats to the terms of the Agreement. Failure to provide written notice of non-conformance within 48 hours shall constitute Customer’s acceptance of the mats as conforming and in good condition, and Customer shall have no right to later claim any pre-existing defects or non-conformance. The Company shall have the right to inspect the mats while in the possession of the Customer at any time upon reasonable notice during normal business hours, or at any time without notice if Company has reasonable grounds to believe the mats are at risk or being misused. Customer shall provide Company and its representatives full access to the mats and the project site for such inspections.
Liability Insurance:

Best and reasonably approved by the Company, and naming the Company, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and subsidiaries, as additional insureds and loss payees with respect to all applicable coverages. Such insurance shall be primary and non-contributory to any insurance carried by Company. Such insurance shall provide for no less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Company for any termination, cancellation, material change, or non-renewal of such coverages. Customer shall provide updated certificates of insurance upon any renewal or change in coverage.

Safe Transportation: Prior to the return of the mats and in accordance with all applicable local, state, and federal laws, regulations and ordinances, the party that is responsible for loading and transporting the mats at the end of the project shall ensure the mats are properly cleaned, inspected, and in such condition that they are safe for transport and free of loose debris, contaminants, hazardous materials, or any substances that could pose a risk during transportation or to Company’s personnel upon receipt. If Company determines that returned mats are not in safe condition for transport or receipt, Customer shall be responsible for all costs associated with cleaning, decontamination, special handling, and any resulting delays in return, and rental charges shall continue to accrue until the mats are returned in acceptable condition. Customer shall indemnify Company against any claims, damages, or penalties arising from the condition of mats during or after return transportation.
Subletting: The Customer shall neither sublet the mats, nor assign its rights under the Agreement without the Company’s prior written consent, in which event the Customer’s obligations under the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and, in the case of assignment to another party, Customer shall remain liable for the performance of such obligations jointly and severally with the assignee.
