Terms of Use
By using the Moonoura Platform and/or renting a Equipment through Moonoura, you agree and are legally bound to Moonoura’s Terms of Service/Terms of Use.
Please read these terms carefully as they contain important information regarding your legal rights, remedies, and obligations.
- STEP BY STEP:
Click on the “Book Now” button to upload your COI and make the payment. After receiving payment and COI, Moonoura will email the renter a Equipment Rental Agreement and the CC Authorization Form for them to sign. In this same email, Moonoura will also send a link to verify the renter’s ID through our trusted Third Party Verification Platform called Stripe.
An equipment rental reservation is OFFICIALLY confirmed ONLY once the renter has made the payment, provided a valid COI, signed the Rental Agreement, filled out the CC Authorization form and verified their ID.
-INSURANCE:
We require ALL renters to provide a valid Certificate of Insurance (COI) reflecting the total replacement value of the gear ($99,000). The insurance policy must cover theft from an unlocked or unattended vehicle. Please note that the average cost for a short term rental COI will cost between $150 to $225 extra. You can get a COI very easily and in minutes at: https://athosinsurance.com/
The renter is responsible for the deductible amount on the Certificate Of Insurance policy in case of gear damage during their rental period. Moonoura requires credit/debit card information for all orders using Third Party Insurance in the amount of the deductible on the COI’s policy.
After placing your order, we'll send you Moonoura’s CC authorization form. This form will work as a hold on the card and NOT a charge. The renter will be released from the deductible’s financial responsibility after the gear is returned and checked to be in good, working condition.
CANCELATION POLICY:
The renter’s card will be charged when they place the order online. Renters will receive a full refund unless:
Cancel within 72 hours of the rental start date and renter will receive a 50% refund. Cancel within 48 hours of the rental start date and the rental will be non-refundable, no exceptions.
If the renter places an order but does not provide a valid COI, a signed Equipment Rental Agreement, a filled out/signed CC Authorization Form and verify their ID through Stripe, with at least 24 hours before their rental start date, then their reservation will be at risk to be canceled without a refund.

Renters, Rental Period, and Renter Liability
The period of time between when the Owner (or the Owner’s Authorized Person) releases custody and control of the Listing to the Renter (or the Renter’s Authorized Person) and when the Renter (or the Renter’s Authorized Person) returns custody and control of the Listing to the Owner (or the Owner’s Authorized Person) is known as the “Rental Period.” A Renter must request an initial Rental Period, with a set Listing pick-up day and time and a set Listing return day and time, and the Owner may accept the Rental Period that the Renter requests. A Renter must request any modifications to an initial Rental Period, with a set Listing pick-up day and time and a set Listing return day and time, and the Owner may accept any modifications to Rental Period that the Renter requests.
Any Renter modifications to the Rental Period that are not accepted by the Owner are not authorized and may result in Moonoura or the Owner making a police report against the Renter and pursuing legal action against the Renter.
If the Renter damages, loses, steals, converts, transfers custody and control to a third-party, and/or fails to return the Owner’s Listing, within the Rental Period, the Renter agrees that they are liable for and agree to immediately pay for the repair or replacement of the Owner’s Listing, up to the specified limit purchased and/or the Replacement Value of the Listing (as provided on the Listing when a Renter requests a Listing) and/or the amount not covered by a Renter's coverage option or an insurance policy, and/or the entire deductible amount (if applicable) for the coverage option or insurance policy that covers the Listing. Renters are not liable for pre-existing damage or issues with an Owner’s Listing, if there is proof of pre-existing damage or issues or if the pre-existing damage or issues are not caused by the Renter’s rental and use of the Listing. We always recommend that both Owners and Renters thoroughly inspect Listings that they rent.
Moonoura is not liable for a User’s (or the User’s Authorized Person) deceptive or fraudulent acts, the voluntary parting of Listings, the theft of Listings, and/or any other loss caused by User’s (or the User’s Authorized Person) deceptive or fraudulent acts and a User’s (or the User’s Authorized Person) use of Moonoura.com, but Moonoura will cooperate with the investigation and produce information about the incident and parties involved.

Taxes
Moonoura cannot and does not offer tax-related advice to any Users. Please consult your tax consultant to determine tax treatment for your rental activities and retain all relevant documentation. This statement is provided for information purposes only and is not intended to constitute tax advice. You are responsible for any sales, use, duty, or other governmental taxes or fees due with respect to your purchase or sale through the Services.
Moonoura will collect applicable sales tax if we determine that we have a duty to collect sales tax in a given state. Moonoura maintains a list of the states where it collects sales tax. If you are in a state where Moonoura does not collect sales tax on your behalf, you are required to collect all applicable sales taxes for rentals or sales made through the Platform.
Statement in Lieu of New York State Department of Taxation and Finance Form ST-150: Moonoura is a registered New York State sales tax vendor and will collect sales tax on all taxable sales of tangible personal property that it facilitates for delivery to a New York State address. Moonoura may need to report your earnings from transactions on the Platform to tax authorities if you hit certain thresholds of activity on our Platform. If Moonoura determines that it is necessary to report your earnings, we and/or our Payment Provider will ask you for personal information, such as your social security number, in order to complete tax form 1099-K. If you do not provide this information when requested, we will instruct our Payment Provider to block payments to your bank account until we receive the necessary information. Moonoura is not responsible, in any manner, for paying taxes on your earnings or your use of the Platform.
Currently, Moonoura does not provide insurance or any other kind of coverage for spaces, automobiles, and/or certain drones.

Further, by renting spaces, automobiles, and certain drones, you agree to provide the Owner with an insurance certificate, generated by a licensed insurance provider, carrier, broker, or agent, that confirms your adequate and applicable insurance for rental of spaces, automobiles, and/or certain drones. Moonoura can not provide claim processing support or dispute resolution for the rental of spaces, automobiles, and/or certain drones.
Owners and Renters are also bound by any and all applicable terms and policies of any insurance provider, carrier, broker, or agent involved in the transaction between the Owner and the Renter. Moonoura recommends that you carefully read and understand any policy documents which may apply to a rental.
For insurance purchased from Athos Insurance (www.athosinsurance.com) on Moonoura (hereinafter, “Short Term Insurance,” “Short Term,” “Annual Insurance,” or “Annual”), insurance documents may be agreed to or generated which include but are not limited to the Application, Proof of Insurance, Complete Insurance Policy, and Invoice and Payment Receipt. Any questions about a Short Term or Annual policy purchased on Moonoura should be directed to Athos Insurance, as Moonoura is not an insurance provider, broker, or agent. Moonoura is not licensed in any state or country to be an insurance provider, broker, or agent.
By making a payment, you, the Renter of a Listing from an Owner on Moonoura, assume all responsibility and will be liable for all damage to, theft of, or loss of the Listing during the Rental Period.

Arbitration Procedures: Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, and court review of an arbitration award is very limited. An arbitrator may award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual. An arbitrator also must follow the terms of these Terms as a court would.
You and Moonoura agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy under $25,000 in value arising out of or relating to this Agreement, whether between you and Moonoura or between you and other Users, or the existence, breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof, shall be settled by binding arbitration administered or conducted by FairClaims (www.FairClaims.com) and not in a court of law, in accordance with its Arbitration Rules & Procedures effective at the time a claim is made. You further agree that judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Any FairClaims arbitration hearing shall be held via videoconference. You consent to electronic service of process, with service to be made to the email address we have on record for your account.
You and Moonoura agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy $25,000 and over in value arising out of or relating to this Agreement, whether between you and Moonoura or between you and other Users, or the existence, breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, shall be settled by binding arbitration administered or conducted by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") (https://www.adr.org) under its rules and procedures, including the AAA's Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes (as applicable), as modified by this “Disputes (Agreement to Arbitrate)” section of the Agreement. The AAA's rules are available at www.adr.org. A form for initiating arbitration proceedings is available on the AAA's services at http://www.adr.org. The arbitration shall be held in New York, NY, or at another mutually agreed location.
You or Moonoura may elect to have the arbitration conducted by telephone or based solely on written submissions, which election shall be binding on you and Moonoura subject to the arbitrator's discretion to require an in-person hearing, if the circumstances warrant. Attendance at an in-person hearing may be made by telephone by you and/or Moonoura, unless the arbitrator requires otherwise. The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, including recognized principles of equity, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. The arbitrator shall not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving different Users, but is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same User to the extent required by applicable law. The arbitrator's award shall be final and binding, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
Costs of FairClaims Arbitration: The parties agree to split all FairClaims fees evenly, or Moonoura may elect, but is not obligated to, to cover all FairClaims fees. You agree that, in the event of confirmation and enforcement, the delinquent party to the arbitration will be responsible for any attorney, court, or other fees associated with such action.
Costs of AAA Arbitration: Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules, unless otherwise stated in this Agreement to Arbitrate. In the event the arbitrator determines the claim(s) you assert in the arbitration to be frivolous, you agree to reimburse Moonoura for all fees associated with the arbitration paid by Moonoura on your behalf that you otherwise would be obligated to pay under the AAA's rules.
Non-Disclosure: You agree that any and all communications and evidence related to any dispute ultimately resolved by arbitration or mediation with FairClaims or AAA arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be held and will remain confidential and that you will not take any action that will harm the reputation of any of the other parties to the arbitration or mediation or Moonoura, or which would reasonably be expected to lead to unwanted or unfavorable publicity to and of the parties, Moonoura or other entities involved in or incidental to the arbitration or mediation. You understand that those parties and entities include but are not limited to the claimant, respondent, witnesses, and Moonoura.
Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Moonoura, its affiliates, licensors and service providers, and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, suppliers, successors and assigns from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses or fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to your violation of the Terms or your use of the Platform, including, but not limited to, your User Contributions, any use of the Platform’s content, services and products other than as expressly authorized in the Terms or your use of any information obtained from the Platform.

THE LIMITATIONS OF DAMAGES SET FORTH ABOVE ARE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN MOONOURA AND YOU. WE WOULD NOT PROVIDE THE SERVICE WITHOUT SUCH LIMITATIONS. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
IF YOU RESIDE IN CALIFORNIA, YOU EXPRESSLY WAIVE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1542, OR ANY SIMILAR LAW, WHICH PROVIDES: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.” YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT CLAIMS OR FACTS IN ADDITION TO OR DIFFERENT FROM THOSE WHICH ARE NOW KNOWN OR BELIEVED BY YOU TO EXIST MAY HEREAFTER BE DISCOVERED.

If any provision of the Terms is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of the Terms will continue in full force and effect.
