Complete Maintenance and Replacement Plan:  This optional plan is provided automatically with additional rates as follows: Group I  $2.00, Group II & III $4.00, and Group IV $5.00 per month. This fee is payable in advance, due at the same time as the rental and does not apply to ownership. We will repair the instrument during the period of this agreement if it is damaged or fails to perform due to any reason other than misuse or marching field abuse.  Minor scratches and dents that do not affect the playing condition of an instrument are not considered as “damage."  Wert Music must make all adjustments and repairs. DO NOT attempt any repairs on your own as this may void coverage. Wert Music reserves the right to pick up the instrument for periodic checks and maintenance.  If an instrument is totally destroyed by fire or accidental damage, or lost by theft Wert Music will replace it with an instrument of equal value at no charge provided reasonable proof of such loss is presented. Theft must be reported to the local police within 48 hours of discovery.  Instrument accessories such as (but not limited to) mouthpiece, ligature, sticks, reeds, straps, drum head, stand and other accessories are not included in this plan.  This plan applies only when all rental fees are current and only while this rental agreement is in effect.  A claim for repair or replacement does not alter the terms of this agreement and your obligation to pay rent continues while repairs are being made. Should you wish to rent an instrument without this optional plan you will be required to pay a security deposit of $100.00 (cash only) and agree to pay all cost to maintain, repair or replace the instrument in the event of loss or damage. This deposit will be refunded when the instrument is returned provided it is in the same condition as rented with consideration to normal wear and tear.
