In the unlikely event that you receive a lens damaged during shipping, please contact us immediately. You will not be responsible to pay for damages that occur during shipping.

Lenses that are not returned to us after 10 days of their due date will be considered lost and the customer will be billed for the lens replacement costs.
If something should happen to the lens while in your care, please contact us. Customers are responsible for all loss and damages to the rental lens while in their care. Any needed repairs must be performed by us. Please do not bring the rental lens to a repair center yourself.
