2. RENTAL AGREEMENT (for borrowed clothes only)
a. Products Rented. In consideration of the rental price to be paid by you and the covenants and agreements set forth in these Terms & Conditions of Use, we agree to rent to you certain Product(s), as selected by you on the Site (the “Rental Products”) for an initial period of thirty (30) calendar days commencing on the date of delivery (the “Initial Rental Period”) plus any additional 30 Day Extension (as defined under Section 2.g below), in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. You agree and acknowledge that you are renting the Rental Products for a limited period of time and that ownership of the Products at all times remains with B.F.Y.B, subject to your potential purchase of the Products in accordance with Section 2.g below.
b. Rental Fees; Credit Card Authorizations; Cancellations. The total rental fee (“Rental Fee”) for the Rental Products is equal to the sum of all applicable Monthly Borrowing Fees (defined under Section 2.g below), damage protection charges, and delivery charges, as listed on the Site in connection with your order of the Rental Products. By submitted to us an order for a Rental Product (a “Rental Order”) and providing credit or debit card account information during the registration or check-out process, you hereby represent and warrant that you are the authorized owner of the credit/debit card account and you hereby authorize us to charge your credit card or debit card in payment of the Rental Fee and all other charges due to us hereunder, and, if necessary to initiate adjustments for any transactions credited or debited in error. This authority shall remain in effect until we are notified by you in writing to cancel such authorization in such time and manner as to afford us a reasonable opportunity to act upon it. If any charge authorized hereunder is rejected by your credit card company or bank for any reason (including without limitation insufficient funds or closed account), you agree to pay us the amount of the declined charge.
We will charge your credit card the amount of the initial Monthly Borrowing Fee, damage protection charges, and delivery charges immediately upon your Rental Order. A reservation of a Product on our Site constitutes a Rental Order (and your credit card will accordingly be charged immediately), regardless of how far in advance that Product is reserved. In addition, at the time of your Rental Order, you hereby authorize B.F.Y.B. to charge your credit card for up to 200% of the entire original retail value of that Product set forth on the Site, plus sales taxes (the “Retail Value”); provided that you will only incur such charges in the circumstances set forth in Section 2.g. below. Rental Fees exclude all federal, state and local taxes, GST, fees, customs, duties, levies and other governmental assessments, all of which shall be paid by you directly or, if paid by B.F.Y.B, shall be paid by you to B.F.Y.B. at the time of your Rental Order. You may cancel your Rental Order at least seven (7) calendar days prior to the scheduled delivery date, subject to the following cancellation fees: (i) for cancellations that are thirty (30) or more calendar days in advance of such delivery date, no cancellation fee; and (ii) for cancellations that are less than thirty (30) calendar days in advance of such delivery date, full credit that can be applied to a future B.F.Y.B. order.
c. Delivery. We will deliver the Rental Products, including the specified size, color and design, on or before the scheduled delivery date set forth on the Site at the time of your order (which will depend upon the shipping terms which you have selected), except to the extent we informed you in connection with your Rental Order that the specific Rental Product may not be available on the requested date or we otherwise could not guarantee delivery. All deliveries will be through our shipping partners, which may change from time to time at our discretion. The shipping method used will be at our discretion. The Rental Products will be professionally cleaned and delivered ready to wear. We dry clean and inspect each product with the utmost care, but use of the Rental Product is at your own risk and B.F.Y.B. shall not be held liable for any health-related complaints associated with any Rental Product. Rental Products may appear different in color and style than the photos displayed on our Site. Our liability to you for any alleged failure to deliver the Rental Product as ordered is limited to a refund of the Rental Fee (excluding damage protection and delivery charges) as determined by us. See Section 9 below.
d. Sizing Returns. If a delivered Rental Product does not fit you, you may return the Rental Product to us within one day (excluding Sundays and holidays) of the date you received the Rental Product by contacting us via email or phone and returning the Product in conformance with the return procedures in Section 2.g below (a “Sizing Return”). We will then issue you a credit for the full Rental Fee paid by you (less delivery charges) for a future order by you of our Products, so long as the Rental Product, as determined by us in our sole discretion, has not been worn and is otherwise in same condition as delivered to you.
e. Risk of Loss. Upon delivery and at all times thereafter until you return the Rental Products to us in accordance with this Section 2 (the “Rental Period”), you bear sole responsibility for any loss or damage to the Rental Product(s). You acknowledge that a Secure Shipping Address (defined herein) is highly recommended. A Secure Shipping Address is defined as a location where you can physically take possession of a Product(s) at the moment of delivery. In the event that an unsecure shipping address is provided, B.F.Y.B. is in no way responsible for Products left unattended. Furthermore, you acknowledge that providing anything other than a Secure Shipping Address may result in delivery delays and additional delivery fees for which B.F.Y.B. has no control and no liability.
f. Use of the Products. You agree to treat the Products with great care, as if it was borrowed from your close friend. Except to the extent you have opted to pay a $5 damage protection charge to cover Minor Damage (defined below), you are responsible for all loss, destruction or damage to the Rental Products during the Rental Period, including without limitation loss due to theft or mysterious disappearance and damage due to fire, stains, rips, or any other cause. If you elect to pay a $5 damage protection charge at the time of your Rental Order, then you are not responsible for minor stains, rips, missing beads, stuck zippers or other damage determined to be minor by B.F.Y.B. in our reasonable discretion (“Minor Damage”). The damage protection charge does not cover loss, destruction, or damage to the Rental Product which renders the Product unwearable without significant repair (“Significant Damage”). If you return a Product that (i) has Minor Damage and you did not pay the damage protection fee at the time of your Rental Order or (ii) has Significant Damage, then you agree that we may charge you, and you agree to pay, for the price for repairing or replacing the Rental Product, as determined in our discretion, up to the Retail Value for the Product.
g. Return of Products; Rental Period; Extensions; Purchase. With delivery of the Rental Product, we will provide you with a pre-paid, pre-addressed envelope as well as instructions for your use in returning the Rental Product to B.F.Y.B. (“Return Packaging”). As described in more detail below, for each thirty day period in which you maintain possession of the Rental Product, you agree to pay the monthly borrowing fee listed on the Site (the “Monthly Borrowing Fee”).
If you wish to avoid additional charges beyond the initial Monthly Borrowing Fee paid at time of order for the Initial Rental Period, you must return the Rental Product(s) to B.F.Y.B. in the Return Packaging no later than the last day of the Initial Rental Period (the initial “Due Date”). If you do not return the Rental Product by the initial Due Date or any extended Due Date thereafter, your Rental Period will automatically extend for an additional 30 day period (a “30 Day Extension”) and your credit card will be automatically charged another Monthly Borrowing Fee for each 30 Day Extension, up to 200% of the Retail Value.
Return of the Product will be accomplished by you placing the Rental Product in the Return Packaging in any appropriate U.S. Postal Service mailbox by 12 p.m. on or before the applicable Due Date. If you lose the Return Packaging and you wish to return the Rental Product and avoid further Monthly Borrowing Fees, you will be responsible for returning the item at your own expense and providing B.F.Y.B. with a tracking number.
We will not charge you more than 200% of the Retail Value, in the aggregate, in Monthly Borrowing Fees. If you pay us 200% of the Retail Value in Monthly Borrowing Fees and you still possess the Rental Product, you will be deemed to purchase the Rental Product and you will be charged a purchase fee equal to five percent (5%) of the Retail Value and, upon such event and payment, we will transfer all right, title and interest in and to such Rental Product to you through no further action, provided such title will transfer on an 'AS IS' basis without any warranty of any kind. For the avoidance of doubt, the limitations of this clause shall not apply to any amounts which may be owed by you in addition to the Monthly Borrowing Fee (including shipping, damage protection charges and taxes).
3. RETURN POLICY – PURCHASED PRODUCTS
You may return purchased Products to B.F.Y.B. and receive store credit by delivering the unworn, unused Product to B.F.Y.B., at your sole expense, within fourteen (14) calendar days following the day the Product is delivered to you. The returned Product must include the original tag still attached, the original receipt, and a detailed description of the reason for the return. Any purchased Products returned after the 14 day return period or otherwise not in accordance with this Section 3 will not be eligible for store credit. The original shipping fee is non-refundable and you are solely responsibility for the return shipping charges and all risk of loss or damage until the returned Product is received and accepted by B.F.Y.B.
