Rental Terms

The rent for orchestral materials (parts) is determined according to the price list. Orders should be placed at least one month before the material is required. Final rent includes the performance-specific surcharges and discounts. In case of less than two weeks’ notice an express delivery surcharge will be invoiced.

Copying of the material is not permitted. The rented material must be returned to the EMIC within two weeks of the last performance. A delay penalty of EUR 50 per month will be charged. If the return is delayed by more than three months, the material will be treated as sold and invoiced accordingly together with the outstanding rent.
