2. Renting to Own - 100% of rental payments will be applied as credit toward the purchase of the instrument after any late fees or additional charges have been satisfied.

The customer may pay off the account early by paying the retail value minus the accrued purchase credit, or the cash price, whichever is less.

3. Payment - All rental fees must be paid to the Music Man by the due date each month. Daily rent is in effect until the instrument is returned or paid in full. If timely payment is made by auto-pay on a credit card, no late fee will be assessed.

On accounts more than 30 days past due, the customer will be held liable for the total value of the instrument, plus any late charges and repossession fees ($20 per attempt). The Music Man may additionally contact my spouse for collection of any past due amount. The Music Man reserves the right to take possession of it peacefully wherever it is found, at school or elsewhere. If the account becomes over 90 days past due, the customer agrees to pay the full value of the instrument plus a 35% collection fee.

6. Security Deposit - A major credit card is required as payment security on the rental. If an account becomes past due, the Music Man will charge rental the balance due to the credit card.
