The term of this Agreement is one (1) year commencing on the date of delivery of Equipment (“Term”), which shall automatically renew on an annual basis until Customer returns Equipment or this Agreement is terminated.
Payment
As full consideration for the right to use Equipment and/or any other services, Customer agrees to pay the Fee(s) shown on the first page of this Agreement, which are due and payable in advance of the first day of each month. The Fee will not be prorated for a partial month. Customer shall be responsible for paying the Fee(s) for any Equipment taken home by a patient in violation of this Agreement.

Ownership
RENMAR shall at all times retain ownership and title to Equipment, and Customer does not acquire any right, title, or interest in Equipment, except the right to use Equipment in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Customer authorizes the filing of any and all appropriate documentation, including UCC financing statements, to acknowledge RENMAR or the manufacturer’s ownership interest. RENMAR shall not remove or obscure any identification that evidences RENMAR or the manufacturer’s ownership. Customer shall keep Equipment free of all encumbrances. Customer shall not move or allow the removal of Equipment from the premises to which it is delivered by RENMAR, without RENMAR’s prior written consent. Fees accrue until RENMAR’s return receipt or Customer’s purchase of Equipment.
Equipment Delivery and Education
RENMAR shall deliver Equipment to Customer’s designated location in patient-ready condition. Upon delivery, Customer shall sign any documentation required by RENMAR. Upon request, and in accordance with RENMAR’s policies and procedures, RENMAR shall provide basic equipment instruction, installation, and education.
Equipment Inspection
RENMAR may, at any time on reasonable notice to Customer, inspect Equipment. RENMAR shall contact Customer and arrange for Equipment pickup for any inspection, maintenance, or other required services in accordance with RENMAR’s policies and procedures. RENMAR is not responsible for any damages or injury that may arise from Customer’s failure to make Equipment available for inspection or services, or for the continued use of a unit of Equipment or part after it is identified as nonfunctional. Customer shall give RENMAR notice of the failure of any unit of Equipment to perform in accordance with manufacturer’s specifications when patient injury results within 24 hours of discovering the failure and shall include sufficient details to permit the Parties to collaborate on developing an investigation plan. Customer shall obtain RENMAR’s prior written consent before performing or allowing a third party to perform any Equipment investigational analysis or operational verification testing.

If Equipment is not returned on said date, RENMAR reserves the right to take any action necessary to regain possession of Equipment.
Loss or Damage
Customer hereby assumes and shall bear all risk of loss or damage to Equipment from time of receipt until it is returned to RENMAR, whether or not insured, except for loss or damage occasioned by the active negligence or willful acts of RENMAR or its agents. In the event Equipment is damaged, lost, stolen, or destroyed (except for loss or damage occasioned by the active negligence or willful acts of RENMAR or its agents), Customer shall be liable to RENMAR and shall, at RENMAR’s option:
(a) replace such Equipment with like equipment and transfer title to such replacement item to RENMAR; or
