(15) SHIPPING & PERSONAL INFORMATION

Some items may be restricted in certain locations. Additionally, depending on location, some items containing hazardous or sensitive items (such as lithium batteries or thermal IR cameras) may not be able to be shipped to their requested destination. Madison Area Drone Service reserves the right to cancel any orders which cannot be completed due to the above reasons.  Madison Area Drone Service reserves the right to change a shipping method at any time for any reason, customer paid-for or not (free-shipping), in the event that we deem this action necessary.  In most cases, we’ll do our best to ensure the customer can receive the shipping method they are expecting.  Examples of possible reasons why a shipping method could be changed are listed below.

Madison Area Drone Service will ship once per day, Monday-Friday (excluding holidays or other days of closure).  Most shipments will ship “same-day” if orders are submitted and received by 3PM Central Time.  However, this is not a time guarantee.  Shipments may ship on Saturday, or will typically ship by the following Monday.  No shipments will physically depart on Sunday.  While we try our best to ensure that packages are shipped “same-day” this is not a guarantee, and 24-48 hours should be allotted for internal order processing, handling and shipment preparation.

† Free-Shipping, or “Free Economy Shipping” is excluded to Hawaii, Alaska and Puerto Rico.  While we value all of our customers, including those from Hawaii, Alaska and Puerto Rico, the costs are simply prohibitive to maintain competitive in the online market, therefore, they are excluded from the free-shipping guarantee.  Free-shipping is only applicable to the “lower 48 states” for most items.  Some items may be excluded from the Free-Shipping guarantee, such as oversized, extremely valuable, sensitive or similar items.

† Free-Shipping will be sent by the shipping service level chosen by the Madison Area Drone Service shipping department that best suites the package or items contained in it.  The shipping method can be any one of the service levels provided by USPS, UPS, FedEx or DHL.  Free-shipping shipments may still require a signature and most will carry insurance sufficient for the content’s value.  Free-Shipping carries no delivery timeline guarantee, however, all packages should arrive within reasonable time.  Should a package be clearly delayed, please reach out to a Madison Area Drone Service employee to inquire or to file a “lost package” claim.

Madison Area Drone Service is not responsible for what happens to a package after it has been “shipped”, with being shipped meaning scanned-in to the logistic company’s facility.  Once scanned-in, Madison Area Drone Service has no responsibility, recovery or control over the speed or delivery of the package to its scheduled destination known as the ship-to address.  Should an issue occur any time after a package has been “scanned-in”, it is the customer’s responsibility to contact the logistics company using the order information and/or tracking number.  Issues can include, but are not limited to: Delays, lost or stolen package, damaged package or package contents, late delivery, wrong-address delivery, etc.

Shipping services which indicate a certain amount of Days a package should be expected in transit (2-3 day Priority for example), are generally based off the day AFTER the package is accepted to the logistics facility.  2-3 day shipping does not mean the product will arrive to the destination day exactly 2 or 3 days from the moment of purchase.  Packages may arrive sooner, or later, relative to the time of order.  Any mention of specific day counts with regards to the shipping speed is merely an estimate.

You, the customer entering the shipment details into the order box, are responsible for ensuring that your requested ship-to address is verified by USPS.  Madison Area Drone Service assumes no liability for packages and products sent to addresses which cannot be verified by USPS.   Addresses not verified by USPS may still reach their destination, but they incur a higher risk of non-delivery.

Madison Area Drone Service is not responsible for refunding (partially or fully) any purchase which is delayed, lost or stolen package, damaged package or package contents, late delivery, wrong-address delivery, or otherwise negatively impacted by the shipment process.  In the event that one or more of these issues should occur, you will need to contact the logistics company and handle it directly.

By placing an order on our website, you give Madison Area Drone Service the permission to use any or all entered information for purposes of detecting fraud or for any other reason.  This can include, but is not limited to: Name, address, phone number, internet IP address, email address, company name or similar.  Madison Area Drone Service reserves the right to enter this information into any online platform for the purposes of detecting fraud or other internal reason deemed necessary.  Please note: We do not intentionally sell or distribute information, and such information will only be used to determine possible fraud, however we do not have control over how the platform or service we use, can or will do with the information.  It is Madison Area Drone Service’s mission to keep our customers information as secure and confidential as possible and we do our best to ensure this security.

(16) PACKAGE FORWARDING

From this point herein, any international or foreign re-shipper, third-party courier company, or other shipping store of any kind of the like which accepts a package and then forwards it to a different address, will be referred to as a “Package Forwarder”.  If the final destination is not a home or business (a business other than a Package Forwarder), then we will consider this a Package Forwarder.  Madison Area Drone Service reserves the right to cancel and refund any order which is deemed being shipped to a Package Forwarder. Herein, any We will not ship to any Package Forwarder or other shipping or logistics company or service of any kind.  All ship-to addresses will be screened for possible fraudulent activity before shipments are created.  By purchasing an item on our website, you are ensuring that the ship-to address is none of the places listed above.  If your item is indeed sent to a Package Forwarder, you release Madison Area Drone Service of any liability whatsoever.  If the package cannot be delivered, is sent back, lost, stolen or otherwise, Madison Area Drone Service is not responsible for any sort of refund or compensation.  You assume all risks once the package leaves our hands if it is being sent to a Package Forwarder.  Madison Area Drone Service is not responsible for what happens to a package after it has been “shipped”, with being shipped meaning scanned-in to the logistic company’s facility.  Once scanned-in, Madison Area Drone Service has no responsibility, recovery or control over the speed or delivery of the package to its scheduled destination known as the ship-to address.

(17) EXPEDITED, RUSH OR PAID-FOR SHIPPING

Instances in which a shipping service other than “free” / $0.00 is selected and paid-for by customer, Madison Area Drone Service will do their best to meet the customer’s expectations.  All shipping methods herein referred to as “Expedited shipping” will also include other methods called Also called Overnight, Air-mail, Priority, Priority Express, 1-Day, 2-Day or other rush services, or any other customer paid-for shipping method.  Expedited shipping is NOT guaranteed and Madison Area Drone Service is not responsible for a shipping refund if the shipment is delayed beyond our control, as in a delay caused directly by our internal handling and processing times or by the local post office or shipping store, logistics company, driver, weather, acts of God, natural disaster, address issue, missed delivery, or any other delays beyond our direct control.

Please note that not all items qualify for Expedited specifically and that these items may not be necessarily clearly indicated during the checkout process.  In the event that an item is purchased that cannot be safely or legally mailed using an Expedited shipping option (lithium batteries, or items containing lithium batteries for example), then Madison Area Drone Service reserves the right to either cancel the order OR  process the order and use a Standard or Ground shipping option and refund the Expedited shipping charge paid-for by customer.

(18) SALES TAX

Rental Terms:

(26) Introduction to drone rentals by Madison Area Drone Service:

Our goal is to make renting drones & similar equipment an easy, fun and safe experience.  Basic Liability Insurance is included with every rental. If you plan to use your drone for a commercial operation or would like the maximum liability coverage for additional peace of mind, this is available at an additional cost (FAA Part 107 certification required).  For additional peace of mind, add damage insurance to your rental term. If you really enjoyed your rental and wish you could just keep it, you can! Our Rent-To-Own program means that your rental fee is applied to the rental purchase, should you choose to purchase the rental unit within 30-days of your last rental date.  Standard rental terms of 1-Day, 3-Day and 7-Day are available, with longer terms pro-rated by the day.

(27) How it works:

Select the product options above.  Add to cart & check out securely online.  Sign & return the digital E-File waiver you’ll receive by email after checkout (or fill out paper copy in store).  Your rental starts once you have received the drone.  You can pick up in-store locally OR have it shipped to your doorstep. E-Waiver completion is required prior to pickup or shipment.  If you need it delivered by a certain time, please select the expedited shipping option of your choice at the checkout, for example “Next Day Air”.  You’ll receive your rental in person OR by mail.  Your rental will arrive fully charged and ready to go.  When your rental time is up, return the drone in person OR drop it off at the UPS Store or UPS Dropoff point, or similar shipping store, by the required checkout time.  You’ll receive your Refundable Deposit fee back, once the rental is returned on-time & in good condition.  Fees may be deducted from the Refundable Deposit fee, depending on the return item count and condition.  Your Rental Contract and Rental TOS will define the extent of these potential charges.

(28)  Rental Start Time:

Your rental “starts” as soon as you receive the drone. If you are picking up locally, your rental starts once you leave the shop. If you are having your rental shipped to your door, your rental starts once we receive the confirmation of delivery from the shipper.

(29) How to receive your rental:

If you are within driving distance, stop by our local store for a quick & easy pickup.  If you prefer to have the rental shipped, we’ll ship the rental to your doorstep.  Your delivery address will be entered during the online cart checkout process.  The equipment will arrive fully charged* and ready to go (*Batteries may not be at full 100% by the time they deliver, but should be nearly full in most cases).  If you have any questions with regards to the operation of your unit or the proper device and application, please reach out to us as soon as possible. Refunds will not be granted for issues related to device or app issues on your behalf. For the best experience, we recommend renting a device with a Smart Controller, so no additional device or app is required to start using your rental.

(30) Required Check Out Time:

You are responsible for ensuring a timely return of the rental items. Please ensure that you reference your rental order time, in order to return it on schedule. For example, if your 1-Day rental started at 11:00AM on Wednesday, your required check out (return) time would be 11:00AM Thursday. Rentals not returned on-time are subject to a late-fee equal to the 1-Day rental rate, per day, until the rental is received back. Please check your email inbox to reference your order completion time, as this will be your official order start time.

Monday-Friday returns: Your rental must be returned to the store between the hours of 9AM-5PM by your rental Check Out Time OR your rental must be scanned into the UPS Store, FedEx store or similar pickup point by your rental Check Out Time.

Saturday returns: Your rental must be returned to the store between the hours of 10AM-2PM by your rental Check Out Time OR your rental must be scanned into the UPS Store or similar pickup point by your rental Check Out Time.

Sunday returns: Your rental must be returned to the store the following Monday, between the hours of 9AM-5PM by your rental Check Out Time OR your rental must be scanned into the UPS Store or similar pickup point by your rental Check Out Time.

If the drone, remote, propellers or other accessories is damaged in any way, heavily scratched, dropped, crashed or similar, your Refundable Deposit will be charged the corresponding amount to correct the damage. If the cost to repair the damage exceeds your Refundable Deposit amount, you will be billed the additional costs to replace or repair the necessary component pieces. To avoid such potential charges, please consider purchasing the optional Damage Insurance, explained below. If you have purchased optional Damage Insurance, you are covered for all incidental damage if the drone, remote & battery (Excludes other accessories and consumable parts).

(32) Rent-To-Own:

Should you enjoy your rental and wish to purchase it, you may purchase the rental for the Rental Unit Sale Price (varies by model & model condition).  Rental Unit Sale Price is typically defined somewhere on the product page, or you may ask a MADS employee for specific pricing details.  Rental Unit Sale Price is non-negotiable.  Your Daily Rental Rate, within the past 30-Days, may be put towards the purchase of the new model. Additional fees such as Refundable Deposit, additional Liability Insurance, Damage Insurance, Late Fees or otherwise, are not applicable to the Rent-To-Own savings program. For example, if you rented a drone for 3-Days, and your 3-Day rental charge was $160 (excluding Refundable Deposit, optional Insurance, etc.), you may apply $160 savings to the purchase of the rental model within 30-Days of your last rental date. Please contact us directly if you wish to purchase a model after rental.

If you have purchased optional Damage Insurance, you are covered for all incidental damage if the drone, remote, propellers or other accessories is damaged in any way, heavily scratched, dropped, crashed or similar, however you should notify us of any damages upon the time of return. Please note that consumables such as propellers, SD cards, or other external accessories are EXCLUDED from this damage insurance policy.

(35) Loss, Theft or Fly-Away

You are responsible for the equipment for the duration of the rental time. Damage Insurance and Liability Insurance DOES NOT cover loss, theft or fly-away. Should loss, theft or fly-away occur, you will be charged the replacement cost of the missing equipment.

Note about “Fly-Away”: A drone fly-away is an extremely rare occurrence. While typically viewed as a mistake of the equipment, the true reason for a fly-away is almost always due to user error. This error may not be known to the pilot at the time of the event. A fly-away event is most likely to occur if the drone’s compass has not been properly calibrated, or if the drone is being operated in an unsafe environment which is subject to excessive interference, such as near a cell-phone tower, radio station, near power lines or power supply stations, or near geological formations of high magnetic deviation. Before your first flight, you MUST calibrate the compass sensor properly, outside, away from interference objects such as cars, power lines, radio frequency emitting devices, etc, to ensure reliable flight operation. In the event that GPS control is lost due to a compass error, the drone is still fully operable by the control sticks. Return-To-Home function will not work during a compass error or GPS loss. You are the pilot in control and you must regain control of the aircraft during this unlikely event. Keep the drone within line of sight and do not rely solely on the flight instrument feedback or FPV camera view for aircraft orientation and navigation.

(36) ID Verification:

In order to initiate your rental, we may need to verify your ID. If we cannot verify your ID, Madison Area Drone Service reserves the right to cancel a rental without further notification. If cancelled, your order will be refunded in full. For a list of valid forms of ID, please visit this link: Valid Forms of ID (WI)

(37) Shipping Address Verification:

Additionally, if the rental will be shipped to your address, we must be able to verify the shipping address is valid and matching to your name. Please only ship the rental to your home or place of business, in order to confirm delivery security and address confirmation. If we cannot verify the rental address, Madison Area Drone Service reserves the right to cancel a rental without further notification. If cancelled, your order will be refunded in full.

(38) Order cancellation:

Madison Area Drone Service reserves the right to cancel any rental order, at any time, for any reason. If cancelled, your order will be promptly refunded and you will receive a notification email.

(39) Rental Contract & TOS:

The Terms Of Service (TOS) as outlined above does NOT constitute a complete and legally binding rental agreement nor does it contain all of the Terms Of Service or Contract Terms necessary to accept and validate a proposed rental period.  In order to finalize your rental, you will need to review, sign and return the “MADS Drone & Equipment Rental Equipment Terms and Conditions” and the “MADS Drone & Equipment Rental Equipment Contract”.   The “MADS Drone & Equipment Rental Equipment Terms and Conditions” and the “MADS Drone & Equipment Rental Equipment Contract” is issued after paying for and reserving the rental, and the rental becomes valid once both documents have been signed and returned.  Failure to sign and return either/both documents voids the rental agreement.
