CINEMA-VISION - Motion Picture Equipment

General Rental Information

Rental charges apply until all equipment is returned, or, if damaged or missing, completely replaced.

Reserve your equipment well in advance. This will allow you to have the fullest selection of equipment to meet your needs. CINEMA-VISION can set equipment aside for you: please ask for details.

You, or your agent, are expected to examine and test the equipment before you accept it. CINEMA-VISION cannot guarantee, assume suitability or results of the equipment once it leaves our premises.

You must tender a deposit for all rentals, unless you have previously established a House Account. We require a minimum of four business days to establish credit for new accounts. Credit applications are processed through TRW and/or Equifax, who require some time to generate a report.

CINEMA-VISION cannot release any equipment until a rental contract has been completed & an Insurance Certificate has been secured. CINEMA-VISION requires that you tender a deposit for the amount of the deductible of your insurance policy; we accept company checks & most credit cards. Customers who have not established a House Account may be asked to tender a certified check or money order for deposit.

All equipment shipped out of town is shipped collect for freight & insurance. You must also pay for return shipments. Any return collect shipments handled by CINEMA-VISION are subject to a 25% processing fee.

You must notify CINEMA-VISION in advance if you are shipping the equipment out of the five boroughs of New York City; a two-day minimum rental charge applies on all equipment so shipped. CINEMA-VISION cannot make rental allowances for delays caused by the carrier or, if shipped out of the USA, any customs delays.

Equipment returned after 10:00am on any business day will be charged for that entire day.

Special long-term and weekly rates are available.

All prices & specifications are subject to change without notice.

Insurance Requirements

Please note the various questions pertaining to insurance. It is necessary for Cinema-Vision to have a certificate of insurance which clearly states the following:
1. That the customer’s policy provides coverage for rented equipment and accessories.
2. That the limit of liability is clearly stated.
3. That the deductible, if any, is indicated.
4. That the coverage is all risk.
5. That the coverage is written on a world-wide basis, including transit.
6. That the coverage includes theft from unattended vehicles.
7. That the coverage is written on a “Replacement Cost Basis”.
8. That the policy lists “Cinema-Vision, Inc.” as “Lost Payee”, “Additionally Insured”.
9. That the captioned policy will be endorsed to provide 30 days written notice to Cinema-Vision, Inc., in the event of cancellation, reduction, or increase in coverage.
10. That the policy includes an endorsement stating with respect to equipment rented from Cinema-Vision, Inc. any losses covered hereunder shall be adjusted with the insured and made payable to Cinema-Vision, Inc. as their interest may appear.
Additionally, the certificate must be signed by either a representative of the insurance company or an agent of the company. It is the customer’s responsibility to furnish Cinema-Vision, Inc. with a certificate of insurance. This should be done upon the first rental, and again on each renewal term of the policy. There will be no rentals without a current certificate of insurance in Cinema-Vision, Inc.’s possession.
