Equipment Rental Agreement

Version 2026-07-27 · Seattle Line Call · Washington State

The short version. We hand you a $2,000 camera and take no deposit. If it comes back on time and undamaged, you owe nothing beyond the rental fee. If it doesn't, you're responsible for it. That trade only works if you read this.

1. Parties and Equipment

This Agreement is between Seattle Line Call ("we", "us") and the person signing below ("you", "Renter").

Equipment: one Baseline Vision Baseline Cam line-calling camera system, including its tripod/mount, battery, charging cable, and carrying case (collectively, the "Equipment").

Agreed replacement value: $2,000. You agree this is the Equipment's value for all purposes under this Agreement.

2. Identity and Name Match

You must provide your full legal name, a phone number, and an email address.

The name on the payment card you use must match the name you sign with. We verify this before releasing the Equipment. If the names do not match, we may cancel the rental and refund the rental fee, and we are not obligated to explain further. You confirm you are the authorized holder of the card used.

You must be 18 or older.

3. Rental Period, Fee, and Late Return

Rental fee: $40 per 2-hour session, plus applicable Washington sales tax.
The rental period starts at the pickup time and ends at the return time shown in your confirmation.
There is a 15-minute grace period at the end of the rental. Late returns beyond the grace period are charged on this schedule:

Late by	Fee
up to 15 minutes	free (grace period)
16–30 minutes	$50
31–45 minutes	$100
46–60 minutes	$150
more than 60 minutes	$400

Any delayed return of more than an hour is subject to the maximum $400 fee. These amounts are agreed in advance as a reasonable estimate of what a late return costs us — there is one camera, and a late return can mean cancelling the next player's booking.

If the Equipment is more than 24 hours late and you have not reached us, we may treat it as not returned under Section 6 and charge the full replacement value.

4. No Security Deposit

We do not take a security deposit or a hold on your card. You pay the rental fee and nothing else up front.

That is a deliberate choice, and it means this agreement is what protects the Equipment. Your responsibility for it is set out in Sections 5 and 6 and is not capped by any deposit — if the Equipment is damaged, lost, or not returned, you owe the amounts described there regardless of what you paid to rent it.

5. Your Responsibility for the Equipment

From the moment you take possession until we confirm its return, you are responsible for the Equipment.

You agree to:

Use it only for its intended purpose — recording and calling lines on a tennis court — and follow the setup instructions we provide.
Keep it in your personal possession or in a secured location. Do not leave it unattended on a public court, in an unlocked vehicle, or in plain view in any vehicle.
Not lend, sublet, or transfer it to anyone else.
Not open, modify, repair, or attempt to service it.
Protect it from rain and standing water. If weather turns, pack it up.

If it comes back damaged, you are responsible for the reasonable cost of repair, up to the replacement value. We will give you the repair estimate or invoice.

Normal wear and tear is on us, not you.

6. Loss, Theft, and Non-Return

You are responsible for the full replacement value of $2,000 if the Equipment is lost, stolen, destroyed, or not returned — including if it is stolen from you.

If the Equipment is stolen, you must file a police report within 48 hours and give us a copy. This is a real condition, not a formality — it is how a theft is distinguished from a non-return, and we will ask for it before we treat it as one.

If the Equipment is not returned and you do not respond to us, the replacement value becomes a debt you owe us. We will invoice you for it, and we may pursue recovery of the Equipment and any costs, including collection and reasonable attorney's fees. Retaining rented property you have not paid for may also be a criminal matter under Washington law.

7. Assumption of Risk and Liability

Tennis is a physical activity with inherent risks, and the Equipment involves a tripod-mounted camera positioned near a court.

You are responsible for placing the Equipment safely — clear of play, clear of walkways, and stable. You are responsible for injuries or property damage arising from how you set it up or use it.
To the fullest extent permitted by Washington law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential damages, including a missed or disputed match, a match result, or lost recordings.
Our total liability to you is limited to the rental fee you paid.
You agree to indemnify us against third-party claims arising from your use of the Equipment.

8. No Warranty on Calls or Recordings

The Equipment is provided as is. Line calls and recordings are generated by the manufacturer's system and we do not warrant that they will be accurate, complete, uninterrupted, or available.

We are not a match official. Anything the Equipment produces is a tool for the players, not a binding ruling, and we take no part in resolving disputes. If your league or tournament has rules about recording or electronic line calling, following them is your responsibility.

9. Recording, Court Rules, and Consent

You are responsible for complying with facility rules and applicable law when recording, including Washington's all-party consent law for recording private conversations (RCW 9.73). Tell the other players on court that the camera is recording, and do not record people who have not agreed to it.

Public parks may have their own rules on cameras, tripods, and commercial use. Following them is your responsibility.

10. Cancellation

Cancel more than 24 hours before your start time: full refund.
Cancel within 24 hours: the rental fee is non-refundable, but we will make a genuine effort to move you to another slot or give you a credit toward a future rental. We cannot promise that, and whether we can depends on the circumstances and the schedule. Ask us — we would rather find you a slot than keep your money.
We may cancel for weather or equipment issues and will refund you in full. That refund is our only obligation if we cancel.

11. Data and Recordings

Recordings are captured on the Equipment and belong to you. We do not want your footage. We wipe the device between rentals; do not leave anything on it you need, and copy off what you want before returning it.

12. General

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Washington, venue in King County.
If any provision is unenforceable, the rest stays in effect.
This is the entire agreement between us and replaces any prior discussion.
We may update these terms for future rentals; the version you sign governs yours.

13. Electronic Signature

When you type your full legal name and check the box at checkout, that is your signature. It has the same effect as ink. We record the name, email, timestamp, and IP address of your signature.

By reserving, you confirm: I have read and agree to the Seattle Line Call Equipment Rental Agreement. I understand I am responsible for up to $2,000 if the camera is damaged, lost, or not returned, and that the name on my payment card must match my name.
