    d. Lessee must return the equipment empty, clean, and in good condition, suitable for immediate reuse.

STG Freight Services Inc. shall not be liable for any damage to Lessee’s property resulting from changes in the condition of the equipment or during repair and maintenance activities.
    b. Damage – If the equipment is damaged by causes other than normal wear and tear, STG Freight Services Inc. reserves the right to inspect the equipment and provide Lessee with an estimate of repair costs, as determined by an approved repair facility. Lessee agrees to promptly pay the estimated repair costs upon receipt of notice. At the sole discretion of STG Freight Services Inc., the Company may either hold the payment without performing repairs or proceed with the repairs using the collected amount. If the actual repair costs exceed the estimate, Lessee agrees to pay the difference upon receipt of the final invoice.
    c. Loss or Total Damage – If the equipment is lost, destroyed, or damaged beyond repair (as determined solely by STG Freight Services Inc.), the Company will issue an invoice to the Lessee for the full Replacement Value of the equipment.
