delivering the equipment, unless paid for. If the equipment is not broken down when we
arrive for pick up the paying customer accepts the additional charges that will be applied
to the card given by the paying customer. The customer also agrees to additional charges

if the driver and/or helper have to go up to a second floor by stairs. The additional charge
will be $40 per level of stairs.
