If our equipment is returned broken due to negligence, you will be held responsible for the replacement of the equipment. Examples of negligence are drops and falls, not keeping equipment in the case it was checked out in or through misuse.

Insurance

While not required, if you are checking out equipment that is expensive, for an extended checkout or being installed in an off-Floor, non-ITP/IMA Show, you might consider getting equipment insurance

Under certain circumstances you may be covered under Travelers Insurance or Renters Insurance (Apartment) for lost, stolen or broken equipment. However, you might also consider getting a College Student Insurance policy to protect both your own personal equipment as well as equipment you borrow or rent from ITP/IMA. ITP/IMA has no connection to any insurance offerings.

NOT FOR CHECKOUT
