When checking-in, before picking up equipment rentals you must sign a rental agreement. The agreement includes the following language:
I certify that I will return the equipment in the condition it was in when I rented it. If I damage or lose the weapon, I will pay for its repair or replacement based on the discretion of Academie Duello Ltd. If the item is returned late I will pay an additional rental fee of $10/day until it is returned. Equipment is to be used for training in VISS classes only in the prescribed manner for said equipment and as directed by class instructors. Damage incurred through sparring or uses outside of those uses specifically authorized here are the full responsibility of the renter. The renter is responsible for paying the full repair or replacement costs incurred from damages outside of regular wear and tear and usage outside of the prescribed uses.
