Terms & Conditions of Lease

RosTech, LLC (“RosTech”) is pleased to have you as a customer. Your acceptance and use of each product described on your invoice (“Equipment”) indicates your agreement to these Terms and Conditions of Lease (these “Terms”), including, without limitation, payment of rent at the rental rate shown on your Invoice (“Monthly Rate”). Please contact RosTech if you have any questions about these Terms and Conditions.

  1. Rent Payments. RosTech requires payment, on or before the delivery date of the Equipment, of the initial Monthly Rate amount plus tax and the Delivery Fee (defined below). After delivery, you agree to pay the Monthly Rate amount on the same day of each subsequent calendar month for as long as you rent the Equipment from RosTech and until the Equipment is returned to RosTech. Your Monthly Rate amount will include applicable taxes. If RosTech notifies you of a rent increase, you agree to pay the increased Monthly Rate beginning with the next Monthly Payment date. YOUR RENTAL AGREEMENT IS NOT A PURCHASE AGREEMENT. YOU WILL NOT BECOME THE OWNER OF THE EQUIPMENT NO MATTER HOW LONG YOU PAY RENT TO ROSTECH. THE EQUIPMENT IS OWNED BY ROSTECH AND MUST BE RETURNED WHEN YOU CANCEL THE LEASE OR AFTER A DEFAULT. YOU AGREE NOT TO REMOVE OR DEFACE ANY STICKERS ON THE EQUIPMENT SHOWING THAT ROSTECH OWNS THE EQUIPMENT.
  2. Rental Term. The date the Equipment is delivered to the address shown on your initial Invoice is the date your rental term begins. You may rent the Equipment with a 3-month term and continue on a month-to-month basis at your option until the earlier of (a) the date you notify RosTech that you want to terminate the lease with a 30-day notice; or (b) the date RosTech cancels your lease in accordance with these Terms. If you notify RosTech that you want to terminate the lease, you agree to continue paying rent at the Monthly Rate amount until RosTech receives delivery of the Equipment from you and your final invoice will not be prorated.

III. Fees and Charges. You must make your payments by automatic recurring debit or credit card transaction. To avoid a Late Fee, your payment must be received by RosTech at its home office no later than the due date. In addition to the Monthly Rate payment, you agree to pay the following fees (if applicable): (a) Delivery and installation fee of $59.99 to $99.99 for delivering and installing your Equipment; and an additional $35 for each rescheduled attempt; (b) Late Fee of $5 each month when a Monthly Rate payment has not been paid by the due date for each piece of Equipment you have rented in addition to the accruing of an additional rent in the sum of $1.00 per day plus applicable sales tax until payment is received; (c) Move Fee of $59.99 to 99.99 if you move to another unit in the same apartment community and you want to continue renting the same Equipment, or $59.99 to $99.99 if you move to another apartment community served by RosTech and you want to continue renting the same Equipment; (d) (e) Application Fee of $7.90; and (e) a Returned Payment Fee of $35 if your payment is dishonored by your bank for any reason. All of the above fees are subject to applicable state law limitations, if any, and may be changed upon notice to you.

  1. Limited Damage Waiver. RosTech offers an optional Limited Damage Waiver (“LDW”) for an additional monthly recurring charge of $5.99 per month. Subject to the terms hereof, the LDW is paid in consideration for RosTech waiving its right to recover damages against you in the event the Equipment suffers incidental physical damage such as scratches, dents, dings, or broken knobs. LDW coverage is void and of no effect if you are not in compliance with your obligations under these Terms, or if physical damage to the Equipment or loss is caused by vandalism, theft, or intentional abuse or damage. You are not required to purchase LDW coverage.
  2. Use and Return of Equipment. You agree to use the Equipment only for your personal use at the address and apartment unit shown on your Invoice. You agree that you will not move the Equipment to another address or unit either within or outside your apartment community. If you plan to move and would like to continue renting the Equipment, you agree to contact RosTech to determine if the Equipment can be moved to your new unit. RosTech must move the Equipment for you, and you agree to pay the applicable Move Fee for the removal and reinstallation of your Equipment. RosTech allows use of the Equipment only at apartment communities it serves and may refuse to allow the Equipment to be moved in its sole discretion. If you decide to cancel your lease, or if you are in default and RosTech attempts to repossess the Equipment, you agree that the Monthly Rate amount will continue to be due until RosTech picks up the Equipment from you. It is your responsibility to ensure that RosTech has obtained the appropriate key release to retrieve the Equipment. RosTech will not charge a pick up fee if you cancel the lease, you are not in default, and RosTech picks up the Equipment in your presence or with a key release approved by your apartment manager. A pick up fee covering RosTech’s costs will be charged if you are in default at the time the Equipment is repossessed or if an attempt to pick up fails because you did not arrange for a key release from your apartment manager. If the Equipment is lost or stolen, you agree to pay, in addition to all other amounts required by these Terms, the replacement value of the Equipment and all reasonable costs incurred by RosTech in collecting this amount.
  3. LIMITED WARRANTY; REMEDY FOR DEFECTS. ROSTECH UNDERTAKES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE QUALITY OF THE EQUIPMENT EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT. ROSTECH ASSUMES NO RESPONSIBILITY THAT THE EQUIPMENT WILL BE FIT FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE FOR WHICH YOU MAY BE LEASING THE EQUIPMENT. ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE ARE EXPRESSLY EXCLUDED. When the Equipment is delivered, you agree to inspect it and report any damage or defects to RosTech within three business days. If you discover a mechanical problem resulting from a defect in the manufacturing of the Equipment, you agree to notify RosTech promptly. RosTech will repair or replace the Equipment at its option without charge to you, and this remedy shall be your exclusive remedy. You agree that you will not attempt to repair the Equipment yourself or allow anyone other than RosTech or its contractors to repair the Equipment. You will be responsible for any damage to the Equipment resulting from any faulty repair work done by you or others.

VII. Equipment Damage or Malfunction Resulting From Abuse. You agree to use the Equipment only in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions as indicated on the Equipment. You agree to be solely responsible and liable to RosTech for any damage to the Equipment and the cost of any repairs caused by the negligence, misuse, or abuse of Equipment, whether caused by you or anyone else.

VIII. INDEMNIFICATION. YOU AGREE TO RELEASE, INDEMNIFY AND HOLD ROSTECH AND ITS AGENTS HARMLESS FROM ANY LIABILITY OR DAMAGES ARISING FROM NEGLIGENCE, MISUSE, OR ABUSE OF THE EQUIPMENT DURING THE TIME THE EQUIPMENT IS IN YOUR POSSESSION WHICH WAS CAUSED BY YOU, ANY UNIT CO-RENTER, FAMILY MEMBER, GUESTS, OR INVITEES.

  1. KEY RELEASE AUTHORIZATION TO ENTER YOUR APARTMENT. YOU AGREE TO ALLOW ROSTECH OR ITS AUTHORIZED AGENTS OR INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS, ACCESS TO THE EQUIPMENT IN YOUR APARTMENT (PERMISSION IS GRANTED FOR THE APARTMENT LEASING OFFICE TO RELEASE A KEY) FOR THE PURPOSE MAKING DELIVERY, REPAIR, MAINTENANCE, REPLACEMENT OR REMOVAL (INCLUDING DELINQUENT PAYMENTS) OF THE EQUIPMENT IN THE EVENT YOU ARE NOT PHYSICALLY PRESENT IN YOUR APARTMENT AT THE TIME OF DELIVERY, REPAIR, MAINTENANCE, REPLACEMENT OR REMOVAL OF THE EQUIPMENT. IN THE EVENT OF YOUR DEFAULT, AND IF YOU FAIL TO CURE YOUR DEFAULT AFTER 10 DAYS WRITTEN NOTICE FROM ROSTECH, YOU HEREBY AUTHORIZE AND DIRECT THE MANAGEMENT OF YOUR APARTMENT COMMUNITY, ON ROSTECH’S REQUEST, TO PROVIDE ROSTECH OR ITS AGENTS OR INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS WITH A KEY TO YOUR APARTMENT, SO THAT ROSTECH OR ITS AGENTS OR INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS MAY, WITHOUT BREACH OF THE PEACE, ENTER YOUR APARTMENT IN YOUR ABSENCE AND RETRIEVE THE EQUIPMENT. YOU AGREE TO INDEMNIFY AND HOLD ROSTECH; IT’S AGENTS AND INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS, AND THE MANAGEMENT AND OWNERS OF YOUR APARTMENT COMMUNITY, HARMLESS FROM ANY LIABILITY REGARDING ENTRY AND ACCESS TO YOUR APARTMENT IN RELIANCE ON THIS KEY RELEASE AUTHORIZATION FOR THE PURPOSE OF REMOVING THE EQUIPMENT AFTER YOUR DEFAULT. ROSTECH AGREES TO RETURN THE KEY TO YOUR APARTMENT MANAGER AFTER REMOVING THE EQUIPMENT.
  2. Default. You will be in default under these Terms if any of the following should occur: (a) you fail to pay the full Monthly Rate payment or any other applicable fees, charges, or damages when due; (b) you breach any of these Terms; or (c) RosTech in good faith believes the prospect of payment or performance is impaired. You agree to waive any requirement that RosTech provide you with notice of default.
  3. Remedies. If an event of default occurs, RosTech may exercise one or more of the following remedies: (a) cancel your lease; (b) take possession of the Equipment with or without judicial process, but any non-judicial repossession in your absence from your apartment may only be pursued without breach of the peace in accordance with Paragraph 9 above; (c) recover any unpaid Monthly Rate payments owed through the date the Equipment is picked up by RosTech; (d) cancel the lease and collect unpaid Monthly Rate payments through the date of cancellation plus an amount equal to the original cost of the Equipment plus 20% of that amount if the Equipment has been lost, stolen, or cannot be picked up by RosTech; (d) recover all reasonable collection costs incurred by RosTech including reasonable fees paid to third party collectors and/or attorneys to the extent allowed by applicable law; and/or (e) pursue any other rights or remedies allowed by applicable law. Section 31.04 of the Texas Penal Code provides that any person having possession of personal property of another by virtue of a rental contract, who, with intent to avoid payment and without the owner’s consent, holds the property beyond the expiration of the rental period and thereby deprives the property owner of the property of its use in further rentals, shall be guilty of the crime of theft. You agree to pay all of RosTech’s expenses and costs of enforcing these Terms, including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses, as allowed by applicable law, whether or not a lawsuit is filed. RosTech reserves right to report you to credit bureaus if you do not pay all amounts owed by you under these Terms and you hereby authorize RosTech to file such reports.

XIII. Credit/Debit Card Standing Authorization Terms and Conditions

1) By providing RosTech with credit or debit card account information to make a payment to RosTech as part of the agreement between you and RosTech (the “Lease”), you are agreeing to a Credit and Debit Card Standing Authorization (“Authorization”) with RosTech to charge your credit or debit card account for any past due balances, uncollected fees, liquidated damages for unreturned equipment and any applicable sales tax as agreed upon in the Lease.

2) By agreeing to this Authorization, you authorize RosTech to retain your credit or debit card information on file. In addition, you authorize your credit card/debit card issuer to charge your credit or debit card account for any past due balances, uncollected fees, liquidated damages for unreturned equipment and any applicable sales tax as agreed upon in the Lease.

3) The Lease provides that an unpaid account balance is past due if the payment is not be received by RosTech at its home office no later than the due date. Late Fee of $5 each month when a Monthly Rate payment has not been paid by the due date for each piece of Equipment you have rented; in addition, the Lease provides for the accruing of additional rent in the sum of $1.00 per day plus applicable sales tax for any account with a past due balance. For failure to return the Equipment as required under the Lease terms you agree to pay, in addition to any accrued unpaid charges and all other amounts required by this agreement, the replacement value of the Equipment and all reasonable costs incurred by RosTech in collecting this amount.

4) RosTech, at its discretion, may choose to use this Authorization as your permission to process a charge to your credit or debit card as payment for any outstanding past due balances, uncollected fees, or liquidated damages for unreturned equipment associated with the Lease. Any such charges will appear on your monthly credit card statement or bank account statement (for debit cards).

5) You understand that this Authorization is a standing authorization and is not a one-time credit or debit card charge authorization, and is not a recurring authorization to charge your credit or debit card on a monthly basis. This is an Authorization for RosTech to charge your credit or debit card account for past due balances, uncollected fees, and liquidated damages for unreturned equipment and any applicable sales tax as agreed upon in the Lease should such amounts ever be incurred.

6) If any credit or debit card payment made under this Authorization is declined, you authorize RosTech to make any necessary corrections to the submitted information and re-submit the charge. Your agreement to this Authorization does not relieve you of the obligation to pay RosTech for goods supplied and/or services rendered if any charge submitted by RosTech is dishonored, charged-back or otherwise refused for any reason. You agree to pay all reasonable collection charges and costs, including attorneys’ fees and expenses of collection, if payment is dishonored.

7) This Authorization is terminable at any time.

Again, please allow 10 calendar days for processing.

9) If you dispute any amount charged to your credit or debit card under this Authorization, you may contact RosTech by writing to the address above. All billing disputes that cannot be settled by discussion between you and RosTech shall be settled according to the dispute resolution process specified by the payment card issuer in the credit or debit card agreement to which you as the cardholder are a party. RosTech reserves the right to require you to re-certify this Authorization to us at any time upon our written request. Any disputes for any charges due to RosTech from you under this Authorization are also subject to the dispute resolution procedures contained in the Lease.

10) RosTech may amend or modify the terms or conditions of this Authorization at any time with reasonable prior notice of such amendments or modifications to you, which notice shall be communicated to you in the same manner that notices and other information are communicated with you under the Lease. If any part of this Authorization is found to be void, unenforceable or invalid, it shall not affect the other provisions of this Authorization. RosTech’s failure to enforce your strict performance of any provision of this Authorization shall not be construed as a waiver of RosTech’s right to subsequently enforce such provision or any other provision of this Authorization, nor shall it be deemed a waiver of enforcement of that or any other provision. This Authorization is personal to you, meaning that you may not assign your rights or obligations hereunder, by operation of law or otherwise, and no third party is a valid assignee of your rights under this Authorization. You represent that you, the individual signing this Authorization, are over the age of 18 and have authority to bind yourself hereunder for the authorization of payment by credit or debit card as described herein.

This Authorization, along with the relevant portions of the Lease, are the exclusive and entire agreement between you and RosTech concerning charges under this Authorization. This Authorization and the Lease, however, do not supersede the applicable terms and conditions of any payment card system or financial institution that has issued your credit or debit card, which terms and conditions remain in full force and effect. This Authorization is subject to the dispute resolution, governing law and venue provisions of the Lease.
