Once a Member requests a rental of your Listing, you may not request that the Member pays a higher price than in the rental request.

7.1.3 Any terms and conditions included in your Listing, in particular in relation to cancellations, must not conflict with these Terms or the relevant cancellation policy for your Listing.

7.1.4 Pictures, animations or videos (collectively, “Images“) used in your Listings must accurately reflect the quality and condition of your Wardrobe. Trove reserves the right to require that Listings have a minimum number of Images of a certain format, size and resolution.

7.1.5 The placement and ranking of Listings in search results on the Trove Platform may vary and depend on a variety of factors, such as Member search parameters and preferences, price and calendar availability, number and quality of Images, customer service and cancellation history, Reviews and Ratings, and/or ease of renting.

7.1.6 When you accept or have pre-approved a rental request by another Member, you are entering into a legally binding agreement with the other Member and are required to provide your Wardrobe to the other Member as described in your Listing when the rental request is made. You also agree to pay the applicable Service Fee and any applicable Taxes.

7.1.7 Trove recommends that Members obtain appropriate insurance for their Wardrobes. Please review any respective insurance policy carefully, and in particular make sure that you are familiar with and understand any exclusions to, and any deductibles that may apply for, such insurance policy, including, but not limited to, whether or not your insurance policy will cover the actions or inactions of rentals and the other Member’s use thereof.

7.2 Limits on Liability.

7.2.1 Trove has no responsibility or liability whatsoever for any Listings or events notices on the Trove Platform. You agree that your sole and exclusive remedy for any problems with the renting of a Wardrobe lies with the specific Member who made the Listing, and not Trove.

7.2.2 EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH IN THESE TERMS, TROVE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL LIABILITY ARISING FROM OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO ANY AND ALL LISTINGS AND WARDROBES. EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH IN WRITING, WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF ANY AND EVERY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO ANY AND ALL LISTINGS AND WARDROBES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR INFRINGEMENT.

7.3.2 If you choose to require a security deposit for the rental of your Wardrobe, you must specify this in your Listing (“Security Deposit“). Members are not allowed to ask for a Security Deposit (i) after a rental has been confirmed or (ii) outside of the Trove Platform.

As a Member renting Wardrobes, you are responsible for your own acts and omissions.

7.4 Insurance. Trove provides minimum levels of insurance for its members. This insurance applies only to Wardrobes valued at or below $3,000. Members must settle any claims above the $3,000 limit directly between themselves or their own insurance carriers.

1. Trove reserves the right to deny insurance claims that it believes in its sole discretion to be fraudulent. Trove reserves the right to deny an insurance claim if a member continues to rent Wardrobes to members who have previously lost or damaged Wardrobes that were subject to a Trove insurance claim.
2. For Wardrobes that are damaged beyond repair, at Trove’s sole discretion, a member may be required to mail the damaged Wardrobe to Trove before receiving an insurance payout. If a member who rented your costume or accessory refuses to return the item(s) to the member who owns the Wardrobe item, Trove may require a police report before issuing an insurance payout. If Trove, in its sole discretion, agrees that your costume is beyond repair and Trove issues a 100% insurance payout, then Trove reserves the right to keep the damaged Wardrobe.
3. Trove recommends that Members obtain appropriate insurance for their Wardrobes with their own insurance carriers.

8. Terms Specific for Renting Members.

8.1 Terms Applicable to All Rentals.

8.1.1 Subject to meeting any requirements set by Trove, you may rent Wardrobes to other Members through the Trove Platform by following the respective rental process. All applicable fees, including the Listing Fee, Security Deposit (if applicable), Insurance, and any applicable Taxes (collectively, “Total Fees”) will be presented to you prior to renting a Wardrobe. You agree to pay the Total Fees for any rental requested in connection with your Member Account.

8.1.2 Upon receipt of a rental confirmation from Trove, a legally binding agreement is formed between you and the other Member, subject to any additional terms and conditions, including any applicable cancellation policy or any rules and restrictions specified in the Listing. Trove Payments will collect the Total Fees at the time of the rental request or upon the Member’s confirmation.

8.2 Renting Wardrobes.

8.2.1 You understand and acknowledge that a confirmed rental of a Wardrobe is a limited license granted to you by a Member to use the particular Wardrobe for the limited period of time as designated in the Listing, in accordance with your agreement with the Member, and not a sale of the Wardrobe. You further understand, acknowledge and agree that Trove or its Members may place limits on the rental of Wardrobes, including but not limited to restricting orders placed under a single Member account or shipping address. Trove reserves the right to limit, cancel or prohibit any rentals of Wardrobes for any reason in its sole discretion, including but not limited to availability and geographic concerns.

8.2.2 You agree to return the Wardrobe under the terms of the specific Listing as mutually agreed upon between you and the Member. A Member, in its sole discretion, may permit you to extend your rental time through a later date. Any extensions are subject to any already scheduled orders for that Wardrobe and to pre-payment of the additional Fees applicable to that Wardrobe for the period of time of the extension. If you retain the Wardrobe past the agreed upon return time without the other Member’s consent, you no longer have a license to use the Wardrobe and the other Member is entitled to make you return the Wardrobe in a manner consistent with applicable law. In addition, you agree to pay, if requested by the other Member, Fifty Dollars ($50.00) for each twenty-four (24) hour period (or any portion thereof) that you have not returned a Wardrobe to cover the inconvenience suffered by the other Member, plus all applicable Taxes, and any legal expenses incurred by the other Member to make you return the Wardrobe. If the Wardrobe is not returned within seven (7) days following the expiration date of the rental period, or any extension granted thereof, then Trove will deem the Wardrobe to be bought by you, and Trove will charge you an amount equal to Two Hundred Percent (200%) of the retail value of the Wardrobe. At which time, you will own the Wardrobe, though on an “AS IS” basis without warranty of any kind, express or implied.

8.2.3 If you do not pay the amounts you owe to Trove or the other Member when due, then Trove may, among other remedies available to it and its Members, institute collection procedures against you. You agree to pay Trove’s costs of collection, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees. Besides filing for collection, Trove reserves all of its rights to seek other remedies at law or in equity.

9. Listing Modifications, Cancellations and Refunds, Resolution Center.

9.1 You may make modifications to your Listings at any time, provided you have not already accepted or pre-approved a rental request by another Member.

9.2 Members are responsible for any modifications to a Listing or event post that they make via the Trove Platform (“Listing Modifications“), and agree to pay any additional Listing Fees and/or Taxes (if any) associated with such Listing Modifications.

9.3 Members may cancel a confirmed rental at any time provided the Member complies with the cancellation provisions under such Listing. Unless extenuating circumstances exist, any portion of the Total Fees due to the Member under the applicable Listing’s cancellation policy will be refunded to the other Member.

10. Ratings and Reviews.

10.1 Within a certain timeframe after completing a rental, Members can leave a public review (“Review”) and submit a star rating (“Rating”) about each other.
