Terms & conditions.

Plain and short. By requesting a booking and typing your name, you ("Renter") agree to these terms with Lakewave Sound ("we").

1. The rental

You rent the gear in your package (speakers, stands, wireless microphones, chargers) for the dates shown on your booking. The gear stays with you at the event address unless we agree otherwise. You must be 18 or older.

2. Payment and deposit

Nothing is charged when you request. Once we confirm, payment is due before drop-off or pickup. A refundable deposit is held for each rental and returned within 24 hours after the gear comes back in good shape, minus any charges under section 5.

3. Cancelling and weather

• Before we confirm your booking: cancel anytime at no cost. Nothing has been charged.
• Cancel 72 hours or more before your start date: full refund.
• Inside 72 hours: you can move your date once for free, or receive a 50% refund.
• Outdoor event rained out: move your date for free.
• If we ever have to cancel, you get a full refund.

4. Taking care of the gear

• Set speakers on their stands on flat, solid ground with the legs fully spread. Keep them out of walkways.
• The speakers handle a light splash. Do not leave them in rain, near pools or the lake, or on wet sand.
• Do not open, repair or modify any gear. No stickers or tape on the speakers.
• Keep drinks off the speakers. Keep the volume at a level that does not crackle or distort.
• Follow local noise rules and venue rules. In Duluth, amplified sound generally must stop by 10 pm unless you have a permit.

5. If something breaks

Normal wear is on us. Before drop-off and at pickup we take quick photos of the gear.

• With Worry-free protection: accidental damage during your rental is fully covered. You pay nothing more.
• Without protection: you pay the repair cost, or the replacement cost if it cannot be repaired: party speaker $150, stand $45, wireless mic $60, charger or cable $15.
• Never covered: loss or theft, gear left out in rain or put in water, and damage on purpose or from misuse. These are charged at replacement cost.

Charges come out of your deposit first. We send photos and a receipt for anything charged. If the deposit does not cover it, the rest is due within 14 days.

6. Returns and late fees

You choose how the gear comes back when you book: the same night by 10 pm, or the next morning (we pick up 9 am to noon, or you bring it back by noon). A next-morning return is not charged as an extra day. If the gear goes out to another rental that morning, only the same-night return is offered. We do not pick up after 10 pm. For delivery, please have the gear packed up and ready at the pickup time. For self-pickup or drop-off, return it by the time on your booking. Gear that is late by more than 3 hours is charged $25 per extra day. If we cannot reach you and the gear is not returned within 3 days, it is treated as lost.

7. Safety and responsibility

You are responsible for using the gear safely at your event. You agree that Lakewave Sound is not responsible for injury or property damage caused by how the gear is set up or used during your rental, except when caused by our negligence. If the gear fails and we cannot fix or replace it in time, our responsibility is limited to refunding what you paid for that rental.

8. Electronic signature

Typing your name on the booking form is your signature. We record your name, the date and time, and your connection address with your booking.

9. Booking requests and prices

A request is not a booking until we confirm it. We may decline any request. If a price or detail on the website is wrong, we will tell you before we confirm. Promo codes have the limits shown when offered, cannot be exchanged for cash, and may end at any time.

10. Texts and emails

By giving us your mobile number on a booking, you agree that Lakewave Sound may text you about that booking, including confirmations, reminders and return times. We only send marketing texts if you have separately agreed to receive them. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to stop texts, or HELP for help. Marketing emails go only to people who join our email list, and every one has an unsubscribe link. Carriers are not responsible for delayed or undelivered messages.

11. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect and use your information.

12. Website use

Please use this website only for real rental questions and bookings. Do not misuse it, try to break it or copy its content for commercial use. Our words, graphics and logo belong to Lakewave Sound. Local rules, permits and venue approvals for your event are your responsibility.

13. Minnesota law and disputes

Minnesota law governs these terms. Please contact us first so we can try to work out any problem. If we cannot, any claim belongs in the state courts in St. Louis County, Minnesota, including conciliation court where it applies, unless the law where you live gives you a different right.

14. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms for future bookings and will post the new date below. The terms you agreed to when you booked stay in place for that booking. If any part of these terms cannot be enforced, the rest still applies.
