MAINTENANCE, TUNING, AND RESPONSIBILITY

ECH Rentals will cover the cost of damages due to equipment failures beyond the renters' control; i.e. damage that occurred during transport or worn parts. Any deficiencies must be communicated to ECH Rentals within 48 hours of receipt of the equipment. To be eligible for a refund on such parts and services, you must provide ECH Rentals with a photo of the damaged or worn parts and an invoice for new parts or services. ECH Rentals is responsible for structural deficiencies such as damaged frames, worn bottom brackets, suspension, and wheel hubs.
