Band Rental Terms and Conditions
Revised May 2024
In this Agreement, the customer is Identified as “I”, “me”, or “my”, and Pladd Dot Music, Inc. is identified as “Pladd Dot”.
I understand that I am filing an online form that represents a legally binding contract between myself and Pladd Dot Music.
1. Nature of the Agreement: The Agreement constitutes a Legally Binding Contract between Pladd Dot Music, Inc. (Business) and the person who’s name appears on this form (Customer). This Agreement is a Rent-to-Save program meaning that if the contract remains in effect and in good standing, the customer will earn up to 24 months of rental
payments as credit toward the purchase on a step up or intermediate instrument. “Step Up”, “Intermediate”, or “Professional” are understood to
be an instrument of higher value.
2. Monthly Rental Payments: I Agree to rent the instrument described above for at least one (1) month. If I decide to continue to rent the instrument, I will be debited by ACH on the day set forth by me in the aforementioned form until my contract is fulfilled, or I return the instrument to Pladd Dot Music. I understand that if I terminate or suspend this contract at any time, I must start over with a new one in order to continue services through Pladd Dot Music. I understand that my possession of the instrument for any part of the month constitutes a full month’s use. I further agree to pay a $10.00 fee for any late or returned payments. I also understand that should I choose the last day of the month, the billing cycle will take place on the 28th (as each month has a minimum of 28 days).
3. Credit Toward Purchase: Since this agreement is a Rental contract, up to 24 months of my rental payments under this contract can be applied toward the purchase of an intermediate instrument (an instrument generally considered to have professional features and standards—generally accepted to be a performance quality instrument). If my student is not successful on this instrument, I may change to another instrument at any time during this agreement without losing any of my rental credit. I further understand that such changes may raise or lower my rental payments due to varying prices of different instruments. If my student chooses to purchase an upgraded instrument from the rental model (ie: Professional or Intermediate) I will receive credit for up to 24 months of my rental payments under this contract. Rental credit does not include the $12 maintenance and service fee paid each month to keep the instrument in serviceable condition. For example, if your payment is $35 a month for a rental, your rental credit earned is $23.
4. Termination: I am not obligated to rent the instrument after the first month provided I return the instrument to Pladd Dot Music in the same condition in which it was rented (outside of normal wear and tear). I am Liable for this instrument until it is returned to Pladd Dot Music. Pladd Dot may terminate this contract and demand the return of the instrument at any time if I miss a payment or breach any other term of this agreement. I understand that if I return the instrument without purchasing an intermediate instrument mentioned in section three (3) of this contract, that I will not be eligible to receive credit towards my purchase of this or any other instrument.
5. Authorized to Charge: I hereby authorize Pladd Dot Music to charge my bank account through Schedule H authorization (ACH) and/or my credit card if there are insufficient funds in my account. I hereby authorize Pladd Dot Music to charge any late fees and NSF fees to my account on file through the Schedule H authorization.

Any repairs made necessary by misuse or abuse shall be at my expense. All repair work must be done by Pladd Dot Music.
In the event that the Instrument is destroyed by fire / natural disaster, the Instrument will be replaced with one of equal value, provided reasonable proof is presented to Pladd Dot.

The police report should provide the item’s make, model and serial number in addition to its current replacement value.
The replacement of the aforementioned instrument shall only happen if it is covered through my homeowner’s insurance. This policy is void if the Instrument is lost or stolen from an unsecured area such as school corridor, street, bus, etc. This policy does not cover abandonment. Pladd Dot reserves the right to limit replacement of an instrument due to theft to one occurrence. The policy is void if payments are not current.
8. Use of Instrument: I agree to use the Instrument solely for educational purposes. I agree that I will keep the Instrument in my possession at my residence address or at the school stated in this form. I will notify you, in advance, if I move, change my telephone number, or if my child changes schools. I will not remove the Instrument from the county and state of my current residence, unless I have contacted Pladd Dot Music in advance and obtained the consent to do so. I shall not misuse, sell, encumber, remove or otherwise dispose of or lose possession of the Instrument, nor permit, nor suffer any lien, encumbrance or charge against the Instrument.
