damage assessment and determination of coverage
All equipment returned under an Equipment Damage Waiver claim will be inspected by a Meadowlark rental technician. Coverage determinations are made solely by Meadowlark based on the professional assessment of its rental and repair staff.
Meadowlark technicians will evaluate the condition of the equipment, the nature and extent of the damage, and whether the damage is covered by the damage protection policy.
The technician's assessment shall be final and binding for purposes of determining waiver eligibility and any applicable charges.
If damage is determined to be excluded from waiver coverage, the guest may be charged for repair or replacement costs up to the full replacement value of the equipment.
For clarity, examples of damage generally covered or excluded under this policy will cover certain common forms of damage, but others will be handled on a case-by-case basis. All final coverage determinations are based on the professional inspection and assessment performed by Meadowlark's rental technicians upon return of the equipment.
