PoleBait Pole Rental Agreement + Liability Waiver

By renting equipment from PoleBait LLC (“PoleBait”), you (“Renter”) agree to the terms below.

This agreement applies to all pole rentals, including:

  • professional productions + tours

  • rehearsals + studios

  • private events + residences

  • commercial + retail rentals

1) RENTAL RESPONSIBILITY

The person/company listed on the invoice is fully responsible for:

  • the pole equipment during the entire rental period

  • all users operating the equipment

  • any damages, theft, misuse, or loss

PoleBait reserves the right to deny service if a location or setup appears unsafe.

2) ASSUMPTION OF RISK

Pole dancing and pole training involve inherent risks, including (but not limited to):

  • falls, slips, collisions

  • sprains, strains, fractures

  • serious injury or death

You understand and accept full responsibility for all risk related to using rented equipment.

3) RELEASE OF LIABILITY

You agree to release and hold harmless PoleBait LLC, Naya Taylor, and all affiliates/contractors from any claims, liability, injury, damages, or loss that may occur during the rental period — including injuries to participants, guests, talent, crew, or third parties.

4) EQUIPMENT USE RULES (NON-NEGOTIABLE)

To protect safety and equipment integrity, the following is required:

  • Equipment must be used indoors or in safe outdoor conditions only

  • Poles must be placed on flat, stable surfaces

  • Poles may not be used in wet conditions, sand, or unstable terrain

  • No modifications, disassembly, or unauthorized repairs

  • No use while impaired (alcohol/drugs)

If rules are violated, PoleBait may terminate the rental with no refund.

5) DAMAGE, LOSS, OR THEFT

Renter is financially responsible for:

  • any equipment damage

  • missing parts

  • excessive wear beyond normal use

  • theft or loss

PoleBait may charge for repair, replacement, and/or equipment downtime.

6) DELIVERY, SETUP + STRIKE

Most rentals include some level of coordination and logistics planning.

If delivery/setup/strike is included in your booking, you agree to:

  • provide accurate access details (parking, stairs, elevators, entry rules)

  • confirm setup + strike windows in advance

  • ensure a contact person is available on-site

Delays caused by the venue, access restrictions, or missing point-of-contact may result in additional fees.

7) PAYMENT TERMS + DEPOSIT POLICY

  • Rentals must be paid in full before delivery/pickup unless otherwise agreed in writing.

  • A 20% deposit is included in your total rental cost.

  • Once your booking is confirmed, the deposit becomes non-refundable.

If the rental is canceled after confirmation, PoleBait will retain 20% of the total as the deposit.

8) CANCELLATIONS + RESCHEDULING

PoleBait operates with limited inventory + crew availability. Because of this:

  • No-shows are non-refundable

  • Cancellations within the final scheduling window may not be eligible for reschedule

  • Rescheduling is not guaranteed and is based on availability

If PoleBait must cancel due to emergency or unforeseen logistics issues, you will be offered either:

  • reschedule (if possible) OR

  • refund for the unused portion of the rental

9) SHIPPING + OUT-OF-STATE RENTALS (WHEN APPLICABLE)

For rentals outside Los Angeles / out of state, shipping and transport logistics must be arranged in advance.

If PoleBait agrees to coordinate transport, Renter acknowledges:

  • additional fees apply

  • timelines may shift due to freight and scheduling conditions

  • Renter is still responsible for equipment safety once received

10) INSURANCE (PRODUCTIONS + COMMERCIAL BOOKINGS)

For professional productions, venues, or high-value commercial rentals, PoleBait may require:

  • proof of production insurance

  • a certificate of insurance (COI) listing PoleBait LLC as additionally insured

This is determined case-by-case depending on booking size, risk level, and location.

11) MEDIA / CREDIT

PoleBait may request that clients credit PoleBait for installs when appropriate (not required for private/corporate or confidentiality-based bookings).

PoleBait respects privacy and does not publicly list all rentals.
