In the event of Customer’s violation and/or breach of the terms of the Service Agreement, Company may, within Company’s sole discretion and without prior notice to Customer and without any liability to Customer, arrange for the pick-up of the Equipment.

The standard Dry-Run/Trip Fee is a minimum fee of $150.00; provided that, if Company incurs additional charges, fees, fines, penalties, costs and/or expenses related to the Dry-Run, then Company may increase the Dry-Run/Trip Fee in order to recoup any such charges, fees, fines, penalties, costs and/or expenses.
