After You Paddle
Regarding damage or failure to return: you are responsible for all damage or loss to the equipment including major dings or breakage and have authorized Constance Bay Paddle to process the credit card security authorization provided in full payment against rental charges and/or damages and/or failure to return items incurred in association with the rental and use of equipment. You are responsible for returning the equipment in the same condition as at the time of rental and have agreed to take financial responsibility for the repair or replacement (at Constance Bay Paddle's discretion) of any equipment deemed by them to be damaged, stolen or lost.
Regarding late return: In the case you return items late (for any reason) you have agree to pay Constance Bay Paddle the value of a full first day rental for all items for each day overdue. After-hour Drop Off or next day return may be available by arrangement only - an additional fee per craft of a full first day Day Rental per day or part thereof will apply. If you cannot return equipment when expected you must inform Constance Bay Paddle to make alternate drop off arrangements to prevent the failure to be perceived as a theft and reported as such or to avoid having full payment of the full retail value of the equipment processed on your credit card.

When this occurs we will call you at the phone number being used while paddling, which you have provided, and give you instructions on how to securely leave your equipment at the shop location. If we are unable to reach you at the number provided, and if we are closed when you return, you can call us at 613-220-1177 to arrange secure drop off. If you leave equipment at the shop location without prior arrangement and it is stolen or damaged, you risk being charged for the full retail price of the equipment.
