CoolRent provides a web-based system to allow you to manage renting and booking transactions with other people or organisations. These terms and conditions set out the rights and obligations between CoolRent and you as a member.

CoolRent description:
CoolRent does not itself offer any rental/exchange services. The site is an online marketplace only, designed for the unique purpose of putting people who want to rent/exchange things in touch with people who have things to rent/exchange. We never intervene in the transaction between the Renter and the Owner. CoolRent cannot thus be considered part of the Rental or Exchange Agreement between members of the Site.
CoolRent exercises no control over the quality, safety or legality of Items listed, or over the truthfulness or accuracy of the Rental or Exchange Listings, or over the ability of Owners to rent/exchange the Items listed or over the ability of Renters to rent or pay for the rental of any Items. We do not guarantee that the Parties will complete any or all terms of the transaction.
Any security deposits or guarantees required by the Owner in whatever form, remains the sole responsibility of the Renter and Owner. CoolRent is not responsible for the collection, retention, or refunding of any security deposit, for the control of the exact identity of the Owner and the Renter, or for collecting money owed by the Renter to the Owner or by the Owner to the Renter.
