MASTER TRAILER RENTAL AGREEMENT & TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Lappe Rentals LLC d/b/a Lappe & Crew Rental Co.
Box Elder, South Dakota

Effective Date: 9/27/26

This Master Trailer Rental Agreement and Terms and Conditions (“Agreement”) governs the rental of trailers, equipment, accessories, and related items (“Equipment”) from Lappe Rentals LLC, doing business as Lappe & Crew Rental Co.(“Lappe & Crew,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

The individual or entity completing the reservation (“Renter,” “you,” or “your”) agrees to this Agreement as a condition of renting Equipment from Lappe & Crew.

The reservation confirmation, selected Equipment, rental dates and times, rental rates, deposits, fees, Damage Waiver election, checkout disclosures, Equipment-specific information, applicable Fee Schedule, and other rental-specific terms presented during the reservation process are incorporated into and made part of this Agreement.

Throughout this Agreement, references to “Lappe & Crew” or “Company” mean Lappe Rentals LLC d/b/a Lappe & Crew Rental Co.

1. ELECTRONIC ACCEPTANCE

By checking the box stating “I have read and agree to the Lappe & Crew Rental Agreement & Terms and Conditions” and completing the reservation, Renter:

  1. Acknowledges having access to this Agreement before completing the reservation;

  2. Acknowledges having had an opportunity to read and review this Agreement;

  3. Agrees to be legally bound by this Agreement;

  4. Consents to conducting the rental transaction electronically;

  5. Consents to the creation and retention of electronic records relating to the rental; and

  6. Acknowledges that electronic acceptance of this Agreement is intended to have the same effect as a written signature to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Lappe & Crew may provide the Agreement, reservation confirmation, receipts, inspection records, photographs, notices, and other rental-related records electronically.

Renter is encouraged to download or otherwise retain a copy of this Agreement and the reservation confirmation.

2. RENTER ELIGIBILITY AND DRIVER'S LICENSE

Renter must:

  • Be at least 18 years old;

  • Possess a current and valid driver's license;

  • Be legally permitted to operate the tow vehicle and tow the Equipment;

  • Possess any CDL, endorsement, permit, license, or other qualification required for Renter's particular tow vehicle, trailer combination, cargo, or use;

  • Provide truthful and accurate information to Lappe & Crew; and

  • Not permit an unauthorized or legally unqualified person to tow or operate the Equipment.

Determining whether a CDL, endorsement, permit, or other qualification is legally required for Renter's particular circumstances is Renter's responsibility.

Lappe & Crew may request and retain a copy or electronic image of Renter's driver's license as permitted by applicable law.

Lappe & Crew reserves the right to refuse or terminate a rental when the Company reasonably determines that the Renter, tow vehicle, hitch, towing equipment, intended cargo, or proposed use creates an unsafe or unlawful condition.

3. RENTAL PERIOD

The Rental Period begins and ends at the dates and times stated in the confirmed reservation.

Equipment shall be picked up and returned at the Lappe & Crew designated pickup/return location in Box Elder, South Dakota, unless another location is specifically authorized by Lappe & Crew.

Equipment must be returned by the scheduled return time unless an extension has been approved by Lappe & Crew.

Extensions:

  • Are subject to Equipment availability;

  • Must be requested before the scheduled return time; and

  • May result in additional rental charges.

Keeping Equipment beyond the scheduled return time without authorization does not automatically extend the Rental Period.

Renter remains responsible for the Equipment until it has been returned to the designated location and the required return procedure has been completed.

4. TOW VEHICLE AND TOWING EQUIPMENT

Renter is solely responsible for ensuring that the tow vehicle and all towing components are legally and mechanically capable of safely towing the Equipment and its intended load.

Renter is responsible for verifying all applicable:

  • Manufacturer tow ratings;

  • Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (“GVWR”);

  • Gross Combined Weight Rating (“GCWR”);

  • Gross Axle Weight Ratings (“GAWR”);

  • Vehicle payload capacity;

  • Hitch and receiver ratings;

  • Hitch-ball or gooseneck-ball size and rating;

  • Tongue or pin weight limitations;

  • Tire load ratings and condition;

  • Electrical connections;

  • Trailer-brake requirements;

  • Brake-controller requirements; and

  • Other manufacturer or legal towing limitations.

The lowest-rated component of the towing system controls the maximum allowable capacity.

Renter must provide and properly use an operational brake controller whenever required for the Equipment being rented.

Assistance by Lappe & Crew with connecting the Equipment, inspecting the tow vehicle, or discussing towing capacity does not relieve Renter of responsibility for determining whether Renter's vehicle and towing configuration are appropriate, safe, and lawful.

Lappe & Crew may refuse to release Equipment if the towing configuration is reasonably believed to be inadequate or unsafe.

5. INTENDED USE AND CARGO

Renter shall accurately disclose the intended general use of the Equipment and, when requested, the type of cargo Renter intends to transport.

Equipment may only be used for its ordinary and intended purpose.

If Renter materially changes the intended cargo or use in a manner that could affect Equipment suitability, weight limitations, or safety, Renter should contact Lappe & Crew before transporting the new load.

Equipment shall not be used:

  • For any illegal purpose;

  • While overloaded;

  • Recklessly, abusively, or intentionally in a manner likely to cause damage;

  • For racing or speed contests;

  • To transport unlawful or prohibited cargo;

  • In a manner inconsistent with the Equipment's intended design;

  • After a known unsafe condition develops;

  • For sub-rental or commercial re-rental without prior written authorization;

  • By an unauthorized operator; or

  • In violation of any Equipment-specific restriction disclosed by Lappe & Crew.

Renter shall not materially modify, alter, drill, weld, paint, attach permanent equipment to, or otherwise modify the Equipment without prior authorization.

6. WEIGHT, LOADING AND CARGO SECUREMENT

Renter is solely responsible for determining the actual weight of all cargo placed on or in the Equipment.

Renter shall not exceed the Equipment's:

  • GVWR;

  • GAWR;

  • Payload capacity;

  • Tire load ratings;

  • Tongue or pin weight limitations; or

  • Other manufacturer limitations.

The amount of physical space available on a trailer does not determine how much weight may safely or legally be transported.

Renter is responsible for proper:

  • Load distribution;

  • Cargo placement;

  • Tongue or pin weight;

  • Tie-down selection;

  • Cargo securement;

  • Use of straps, chains, binders, and other securement devices;

  • Inspection and re-tightening of cargo during transportation; and

  • Compliance with applicable cargo-securement requirements.

Renter may be responsible for damage resulting from overloading, improper load distribution, or improper cargo securement.

7. SAFETY INSTRUCTION AND PRE-DEPARTURE INSPECTION

Lappe & Crew may provide written, electronic, video, or in-person information regarding proper operation of the Equipment.

Depending upon the Equipment rented, safety information may include:

  • Trailer hookup;

  • Hitch/ball or gooseneck connection;

  • Proper hitch height;

  • Safety chains;

  • Breakaway cable;

  • Electrical connector;

  • Trailer brakes;

  • Brake controller;

  • Cargo straps;

  • Axle or wheel straps;

  • Chains and binders;

  • Winch operation;

  • Ramp operation and storage;

  • Tie-down points;

  • Weight distribution;

  • Stabilizer jacks;

  • Hydraulic dump system;

  • Dump-trailer doors;

  • Tarp operation; and

  • Other Equipment-specific features.

Renter is responsible for understanding safe operation before using the Equipment.

If Renter does not understand the operation of any feature, Renter shall request assistance before using it.

8. MANDATORY PICKUP INSPECTION AND PHOTOGRAPHS

Completion of Lappe & Crew's pickup inspection and required photographs is a condition of the rental process.

Before removing Equipment from the pickup location or placing it into use, Renter must take and upload all photographs requested through Lappe & Crew's website, rental platform, or other designated method.

Requested photographs may include:

  • Front of the trailer;

  • Rear of the trailer;

  • Driver side;

  • Passenger side;

  • Deck, bed, or cargo area;

  • Tires and wheels;

  • Hitch, coupler, or gooseneck connection;

  • Safety chains;

  • Breakaway cable;

  • Electrical connection;

  • Lights;

  • Ramps;

  • Gates or doors;

  • Tarp;

  • Spare tire;

  • Accessories;

  • Existing damage; and

  • Additional views specifically requested by Lappe & Crew.

Photographs must be:

  • Taken at the time of pickup;

  • Current;

  • Clear;

  • Reasonably well-lit; and

  • An accurate representation of the Equipment's condition.

Renter shall not intentionally conceal damage, manipulate photographs, submit previously taken photographs as current photographs, or otherwise misrepresent Equipment condition.

Renter is responsible for documenting and reporting pre-existing damage not already identified by Lappe & Crew.

Failure to provide required pickup photographs does not by itself establish that subsequently discovered damage was caused by Renter, but may limit Renter's ability to establish that damage existed before the rental.

By taking possession of the Equipment, Renter acknowledges having had an opportunity to inspect the Equipment and accepts the Equipment in its documented condition.

9. ITEMS AND ACCESSORIES

Equipment may be supplied with items such as:

  • Steel ramps;

  • Keys;

  • Locks;

  • Spare tire;

  • Bottle jack;

  • Winch and controller;

  • Cargo straps;

  • Wheel or axle straps;

  • Chains;

  • Binders;

  • Ratchets;

  • Adapters;

  • Tarp equipment;

  • Batteries;

  • Remote controls; and

  • Other Equipment-specific accessories.

The actual items supplied with a particular rental may be documented electronically during pickup.

Renter shall return all supplied items in substantially the same condition received, ordinary wear and tear excepted.

Renter may be responsible for reasonable repair or replacement costs for missing or damaged accessories attributable to Renter.

10. RENTAL CHARGES AND PAYMENT AUTHORIZATION

Upon reasonable request, Lappe & Crew will provide an itemization of post-rental charges.

11. SECURITY DEPOSIT

If a security deposit or payment authorization is required, the amount will be disclosed during checkout.

Lappe & Crew may apply the deposit to amounts properly owed under this Agreement, including unpaid rental charges, damage, excessive cleaning, missing items, or other authorized charges.

Any remaining amount will be released or refunded according to Lappe & Crew's stated policy and applicable payment-processing timelines.

A security deposit does not limit Renter's responsibility when properly owed amounts exceed the deposit.

12. DUMP TRAILER REQUIREMENTS

When renting a dump trailer, Renter agrees to:

  • Remain within the trailer's stated payload and GVWR;

  • Properly distribute the load;

  • Verify overhead clearance before raising the bed;

  • Never move or tow the trailer while the bed is raised;

  • Follow all Equipment-specific instructions supplied by Lappe & Crew.

Renter is responsible for reasonable repair, towing, unloading, or other costs resulting from improper loading, overloading, or improper operation attributable to Renter.

Prohibited Materials

Unless expressly authorized by Lappe & Crew, Equipment shall not be used to transport hazardous, explosive, flammable, toxic, corrosive, regulated, unlawful, or otherwise prohibited materials.

Lappe & Crew may establish additional material restrictions for individual dump trailers and disclose those restrictions during booking or pickup.

Renter is responsible for confirming that materials being transported may lawfully be accepted at Renter's intended disposal facility.

Renter may be responsible for reasonable cleaning, remediation, disposal, towing, or repair expenses resulting from prohibited materials attributable to Renter.

13. TIRES, WHEELS AND ROAD HAZARDS

Renter shall reasonably monitor tire condition and pressure throughout the Rental Period.

Renter shall discontinue operation if:

  • A tire becomes visibly unsafe;

  • A tire substantially loses pressure;

  • A wheel appears loose or damaged; or

  • A hub, bearing, axle, or similar problem is reasonably suspected.

Lappe & Crew is responsible for ordinary wear and mechanical failure not attributable to Renter.

Renter may be responsible for damage resulting from:

  • Curb impacts;

  • Road-hazard impacts;

  • Overloading;

  • Improper trailer-brake operation;

  • Abuse; or

  • Other negligent or improper operation.

14. DAMAGE, LOSS, THEFT AND VANDALISM

Renter shall promptly notify Lappe & Crew of any damage, collision, theft, vandalism, or significant malfunction involving the Equipment.

Except to the extent prohibited by law or caused by Lappe & Crew, Renter may be responsible for physical loss or damage occurring while the Equipment is in Renter's possession or control to the extent resulting from:

  • Renter's negligence;

  • Misuse;

  • Unauthorized use;

  • Improper loading;

  • Overloading;

  • Collision;

  • Failure to exercise reasonable care;

  • Intentional misconduct; or

  • Violation of this Agreement.

Theft shall be reported to both law enforcement and Lappe & Crew as soon as reasonably practicable.

Renter shall not abandon damaged Equipment without authorization except when necessary to protect life, safety, or property.

15. ACCIDENT PROCEDURE

Following an accident or significant incident, Renter shall:

  1. Stop and comply with applicable law;

  2. Contact emergency services when appropriate;

  3. Notify law enforcement when required;

  4. Notify Lappe & Crew as soon as reasonably practicable;

  5. Obtain information from involved parties and witnesses when safe;

  6. Take reasonable photographs of the Equipment, involved vehicles, cargo, roadway, and damage when safe;

  7. Take reasonable measures to prevent additional damage; and

  8. Cooperate with Lappe & Crew and applicable insurers.

Renter shall not authorize non-emergency repairs without prior Lappe & Crew approval.

16. INSURANCE

Renter is responsible for determining whether Renter's automobile, liability, collision, comprehensive, property, or other insurance provides coverage for:

  • Towing rented trailers;

  • Physical damage to rented Equipment;

  • Liability arising from towing;

  • Theft;

  • Cargo; and

  • Other potential losses.

Lappe & Crew may require proof of insurance before releasing Equipment.

Unless expressly stated otherwise in writing, payment of rental charges does not constitute insurance coverage.

Renter's obligations under this Agreement are not automatically eliminated because Renter's insurance company denies or limits a claim.

17. OPTIONAL DAMAGE WAIVER

Lappe & Crew may offer Renter an Optional Damage Waiver (“Damage Waiver”) during checkout.

THE DAMAGE WAIVER IS NOT INSURANCE.

Participation is voluntary.

The Damage Waiver price, applicable Renter responsibility amount or deductible, maximum benefit or limitation, and other rental-specific Damage Waiver terms will be disclosed before Renter accepts or declines the Damage Waiver.

If Renter purchases the Damage Waiver and pays the applicable charge, Lappe & Crew agrees, subject to the Damage Waiver terms, limitations, and exclusions, to waive or reduce Renter's financial responsibility for certain qualifying accidental physical damage to the rented Equipment.

Damage Waiver Exclusions

Unless expressly stated otherwise during checkout, Damage Waiver protection does not apply to loss or damage resulting from:

  • Intentional, reckless, fraudulent, or malicious conduct;

  • Overloading;

  • Exceeding Equipment weight or capacity limitations;

  • Improper loading;

  • Improper cargo securement;

  • Unauthorized operators;

  • Unlawful or prohibited use;

  • Sub-rental or unauthorized transfer;

  • Operation while materially impaired by alcohol or drugs;

  • Failure to return the Equipment;

  • Improper operation of a hydraulic dump system;

  • Continuing operation after an unsafe condition becomes reasonably apparent;

  • Unauthorized modification;

  • Damage occurring outside the authorized Rental Period;

  • Missing accessories;

  • Cleaning or disposal charges;

  • Citations, tolls, impoundment, or storage charges;

  • Damage to Renter's cargo;

  • Damage to Renter's tow vehicle;

  • Third-party property damage;

  • Bodily injury; or

  • Other exclusions disclosed before Damage Waiver purchase.

The Damage Waiver does not provide automobile liability insurance, bodily-injury insurance, cargo insurance, property insurance, or insurance coverage for Renter's tow vehicle.

Damage Reporting and Documentation

Damage Waiver protection is conditioned upon Renter reasonably complying with the damage-reporting, accident-reporting, and inspection requirements of this Agreement when failure to comply materially prevents Lappe & Crew from determining when, how, or whether claimed damage occurred.

Purchasing the Damage Waiver does not relieve Renter of the obligation to safely tow, load, secure, operate, protect, and return the Equipment.

Damage Waiver Election

The electronic reservation record will indicate whether Renter:

ACCEPTED DAMAGE WAIVER

or

DECLINED DAMAGE WAIVER

If Renter declines the Damage Waiver, Renter remains responsible for damage or loss to the extent provided by this Agreement and applicable law.

18. BREAKDOWNS AND REPAIRS

Renter shall promptly notify Lappe & Crew of any breakdown or significant mechanical problem.

Renter shall not authorize non-emergency repairs without prior Company approval.

If a breakdown results from ordinary mechanical failure not caused by Renter's negligence, misuse, overloading, collision, improper operation, or violation of this Agreement, responsibility for repair remains with Lappe & Crew.

If the breakdown or damage results from conduct for which Renter is responsible under this Agreement, Renter may be responsible for reasonable repair, towing, recovery, and related expenses.

19. MANDATORY RETURN PHOTOGRAPHS AND RETURN PROCEDURE

Equipment must be returned in substantially the same condition in which it was received, ordinary wear and tear excepted.

Completion of Lappe & Crew's electronic return process and required return photographs is a condition of the return procedure.

At the designated return location, Renter must take and upload all photographs requested through Lappe & Crew's website, rental platform, or designated method.

Return photographs must:

  • Be taken at the conclusion of the rental;

  • Be taken at the designated return location;

  • Be current;

  • Be reasonably clear and well-lit;

  • Accurately depict the Equipment's condition; and

  • Include each requested view.

Renter should not leave the return location until all required photographs have successfully uploaded unless otherwise instructed or authorized by Lappe & Crew.

Lappe & Crew may compare:

  • Pickup photographs;

  • Return photographs;

  • Company photographs;

  • Inspection records;

  • Reservation records; and

  • Other relevant documentation

when evaluating the condition of Equipment and determining whether damage occurred during the Rental Period.

Completion of the electronic return procedure does not prevent Lappe & Crew from subsequently identifying concealed, mechanical, or non-obvious damage that could not reasonably have been discovered through the photographs or an initial visual inspection.

20. CLEANING AND RETURN CONDITION

Equipment must be returned reasonably clean and free of cargo and personal property.

Renter may be responsible for reasonable additional cleaning, remediation, or disposal charges when Equipment is returned with excessive:

  • Concrete or construction residue;

  • Asphalt;

  • Manure;

  • Paint;

  • Other contamination requiring cleaning beyond ordinary rental turnover.

Applicable charges may be identified in Lappe & Crew's current Fee Schedule.

21. PERSONAL PROPERTY AND CARGO

Lappe & Crew is not responsible for property left in, on, or attached to Equipment after return except to the extent required by applicable law.

Renter shall remove all cargo and personal property before completing the return.

22. FAILURE TO RETURN EQUIPMENT

Renter shall return Equipment at the agreed date, time, and location unless otherwise authorized.

If Equipment is not returned as required, Lappe & Crew may terminate Renter's right to possession and pursue remedies available under applicable law.

Renter may be responsible, to the extent permitted by law, for reasonable costs resulting from an unauthorized failure to return Equipment, including:

  • Additional rental charges;

  • Recovery expenses;

  • Towing;

  • Storage; and

  • Documented loss-of-use amounts.

Nothing in this Agreement authorizes Lappe & Crew to breach the peace or use a recovery method prohibited by applicable law.

23. TICKETS, TOLLS, TOWING, IMPOUNDMENT AND STORAGE

Renter is responsible for citations, tolls, parking charges, towing charges, storage fees, impound fees, and similar expenses resulting from Renter's possession or use of Equipment.

If Lappe & Crew pays an expense properly attributable to Renter, Renter agrees to reimburse Lappe & Crew together with any reasonable administrative charge previously disclosed to Renter.

24. ASSUMPTION OF RISK

Renter acknowledges that towing, loading, unloading, securing cargo, using ramps, operating winches, operating hydraulic dump mechanisms, and using trailers involve inherent risks.

Such risks may include:

  • Trailer sway;

  • Cargo movement;

  • Equipment movement;

  • Vehicle instability;

  • Tire or wheel failure;

  • Shifting loads;

  • Property damage;

  • Bodily injury; and

  • Other hazards inherent in towing and equipment operation.

Renter voluntarily assumes the ordinary and inherent risks associated with Renter's lawful use of the Equipment, except to the extent a loss is caused by Lappe & Crew's negligence, willful misconduct, breach of this Agreement, or liability that cannot lawfully be allocated to Renter.

25. RENTER RESPONSIBILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Renter agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Lappe Rentals LLC d/b/a Lappe & Crew Rental Co., its owners, employees, and agents from third-party claims, liabilities, losses, damages, and reasonable expenses to the extent arising from:

  • Unauthorized use of the Equipment;

  • Improper loading or cargo securement;

  • Overloading;

  • Unlawful use;

  • Renter's material violation of this Agreement; or

  • Injury or property damage caused by Renter or persons for whom Renter is legally responsible.

This provision does not require Renter to indemnify Lappe & Crew for liability to the extent caused by Lappe & Crew's own negligence, willful misconduct, or other liability that cannot lawfully be shifted to Renter.

26. CANCELLATION, NO-SHOW AND RESCHEDULING POLICY

Unless different terms are specifically disclosed during booking, Lappe & Crew's standard cancellation policy is:

Full refund.

The remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
