1. Agreement to these Terms
These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and TECHNICA EQUITIES LLC, doing business as UtRental ("UtRental," "we," "us" or "our"), with its principal address at 2303 River Hammock Ln, Fort Pierce, FL 34981. They govern your use of our website, your UtRental account and every reservation you place with us (together, the "Services").
By creating an account, placing a reservation or otherwise using the Services, you agree to these Terms and to the policies they reference, including our Equipment Rental Agreement, Privacy Policy, Shipping, Delivery & Returns Policy, Cancellation & Refund Policy, Damage, Loss & Tool Protection Plan, Payments, Deposits & Fees, Identity Verification Policy and Equipment Use & Safety Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.
Section 17 contains a jury trial waiver, a class action waiver and a venue provision that affect how disputes are resolved. Please read it carefully.
2. Eligibility
To create an account or rent equipment you must:
- be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract;
- hold a valid, unexpired government-issued photo ID;
- have a delivery address in the State of Florida; and
- successfully complete identity verification as described in Section 4.
If you register a business account, you represent that you are authorized to bind the business, and both you and the business are responsible for obligations under these Terms. Each person may hold only one individual account. We may refuse service, limit quantities or decline any reservation at our discretion, except where refusal would be unlawful.
3. Your account
You agree to provide true, accurate, current and complete information when you register and to keep it updated. Your legal name must match your government-issued ID. You are responsible for keeping your password confidential and for all activity under your account. Notify us immediately at egonzalezosorio@att.net if you believe your account has been accessed without permission.
We may suspend or close an account that contains false information, is used fraudulently, has unpaid balances, has equipment that was not returned, or otherwise violates these Terms.
4. Identity verification is required to rent
Checkout is available only to registered customers. Before your first reservation is confirmed, you must complete identity verification with our third-party identity verification partner. The partner may ask you to photograph your government-issued ID, take a selfie and allow a comparison of your facial image with the photo on your ID. We may also ask you to verify again if your ID expires, your details change or we detect unusual activity.
We may decline or cancel any reservation if verification is not completed, cannot confirm your identity, or indicates a risk of fraud. Declined reservations are not charged. How verification data is collected, used and retained is explained in our Identity Verification Policy and Privacy Policy.
5. Reservations, prices and availability
Tool listings, prices and availability shown on the website are an invitation to reserve, not an offer. A reservation becomes a binding rental only when we send you a reservation confirmation after your identity has been verified. Requested delivery dates are not guaranteed until confirmed.
Rental rates are listed in U.S. dollars for each rental period and do not include Florida sales tax, the optional Tool Protection Plan or any fees that may apply under our Payments, Deposits & Fees policy. Delivery and return shipping within Florida are free for eligible equipment.
Product photos are representative. The equipment delivered may be a different make, model or color with equivalent capabilities. Specifications are approximate. If a listing contains a pricing or description error, we may correct it and give you the option to continue at the correct price or cancel with a full refund.
6. Payments and deposit holds
By placing a reservation you authorize us, and our payment processor, to charge your payment method for rental charges, taxes and the Tool Protection Plan if selected, to place a refundable deposit authorization hold, and to charge later amounts that become due under the Equipment Rental Agreement, such as late return, cleaning, fuel, missing accessory, damage or loss charges. Details are in our Payments, Deposits & Fees policy.
7. Equipment Rental Agreement
Each rental is governed by our Equipment Rental Agreement, which you review, accept and initial at checkout. If these Terms conflict with the Equipment Rental Agreement regarding the equipment, the rental period, charges, risk of loss, or use of the equipment, the Equipment Rental Agreement controls.
8. Delivery, returns and cancellations
We deliver only to addresses in Florida. Delivery methods, cutoff times, the Fort Pierce truck delivery area, return instructions and deadlines are described in our Shipping, Delivery & Returns Policy. Cancellations and refunds are governed by our Cancellation & Refund Policy.
9. Electronic communications and text messages
Electronic records. You agree that we may provide agreements, confirmations, receipts, disclosures and notices electronically, by email, by text message or by posting them to your account, and that these satisfy any legal requirement that they be in writing. You agree that your electronic signature, initials and checkbox acceptance are legally binding under the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act and Florida's Uniform Electronic Transaction Act (section 668.50, Florida Statutes). You may request a paper copy of any agreement at no charge by contacting us, and you may withdraw consent to electronic records by closing your account.
Transactional texts. If you provide a mobile number, we may send texts about reservations you place, such as verification, delivery windows, pickup reminders and return deadlines.
Optional text updates program. If you opt in, you agree to receive recurring automated text messages from UtRental at the number provided. Consent is not a condition of any purchase or rental. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to cancel at any time, and HELP for help, or contact us at (813) 219-7246. Wireless carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. We do not share mobile opt-in data or consent with third parties for their marketing.
Marketing email. We send promotional email only if you opt in. Every promotional email includes an unsubscribe link.

13. Third-party services
The Services rely on third parties, including our identity verification partner, payment processor, shipping carriers and communications providers. Their services are subject to their own terms and privacy notices. We are not responsible for third-party websites that we link to, and links do not imply endorsement.
14. Website disclaimers
The website and its content are provided "as is" and "as available." To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties regarding the website, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and non-infringement, and any warranty that the website will be uninterrupted, error-free or free of harmful components.
Warranties and disclaimers that apply to rented equipment are stated in the Equipment Rental Agreement. General information on the website, such as safety notes and "good for" suggestions, is not professional advice. You are responsible for choosing equipment suitable for your job and for following the manufacturer's instructions.
15. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by Florida law, TECHNICA EQUITIES LLC, its members, managers, employees and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost revenue, loss of use, project delays or data loss, arising out of or related to the website or these Terms, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability for all claims arising out of or related to the website or these Terms will not exceed the greater of (a) the amounts you paid to us in the twelve (12) months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars ($100).
Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, including liability for gross negligence, intentional misconduct or fraud. Liability relating to rented equipment is addressed in the Equipment Rental Agreement.
16. Indemnification
To the extent permitted by law, you will defend, indemnify and hold harmless TECHNICA EQUITIES LLC and its members, managers, employees and agents from claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of your misuse of the Services, your violation of these Terms, your violation of any law, or your infringement of any third-party right, except to the extent caused by our gross negligence or intentional misconduct.
17. Governing law and disputes
Talk to us first. Before filing a claim, you agree to contact us in writing at egonzalezosorio@att.net or by mail at 2303 River Hammock Ln, Fort Pierce, FL 34981, describing the issue and the resolution you want. We will try in good faith to resolve it within thirty (30) days.
Governing law. These Terms and any dispute arising out of or related to the Services are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, and by applicable federal law.
Venue. Either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court if it qualifies. Otherwise, any lawsuit must be brought exclusively in the state courts located in St. Lucie County, Florida, or in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, and you and we consent to personal jurisdiction there.
Jury trial waiver. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you and TECHNICA EQUITIES LLC each knowingly and voluntarily waive the right to a trial by jury in any action arising out of or related to these Terms, the Services or any rental.
Class action waiver. To the fullest extent permitted by law, claims may be brought only in an individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective or representative proceeding.
Time limit. To the extent permitted by law, any claim relating to the Services must be filed within one (1) year after it arises, unless Florida law requires a longer period that cannot be shortened by agreement.
18. Termination
You may close your account at any time by contacting us, once all equipment is returned and all amounts are paid. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services at any time for violation of these Terms or where required by law. Sections that by their nature should survive termination, including payment obligations, indemnification, limitation of liability and dispute provisions, survive.
19. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date shows when they last changed. Material changes will be posted on this page and, where appropriate, sent to your account email before they take effect. Changes do not apply to reservations confirmed before the change. Continuing to use the Services after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.
20. General terms

- Severability. If any provision is found unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the rest remains in effect.
