Terms of Service

Effective date: September 9, 2026

1. Who we are

Foedera ("Foedera," "we," "us") operates a marketplace at foedera.com that connects owners of construction and heavy equipment ("Owners") with people and businesses who want to rent that equipment ("Renters"). Foedera Corporation is a Texas corporation.

2. Acceptance of these terms

By creating an account, listing equipment, or booking a rental through Foedera, you agree to these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, don't use the platform.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract to use Foedera. If you're using Foedera on behalf of a company, you're confirming you have the authority to bind that company to these terms.

4. Foedera is a marketplace, not the equipment owner or a rental company

Foedera provides the platform that connects Owners and Renters. We are not a party to the rental agreement formed between an Owner and a Renter, we do not own, inspect, or operate the equipment listed on the platform, and we are not a rental company ourselves. Owners are solely responsible for the accuracy of their listings, the condition and safety of their equipment, and having the legal right to rent it out. Renters are solely responsible for operating equipment safely, following all applicable laws and manufacturer instructions, and for any damage, injury, or loss arising from their use of the equipment.

5. Accounts

You're responsible for keeping your account credentials secure and for all activity under your account. Tell us right away if you suspect unauthorized use of your account.

6. Bookings, pricing, and fees

Listings show daily, weekly, and monthly rates set by the Owner. A booking total may also include:

  • A Foedera booking fee, charged as a percentage of the rental subtotal.
  • An optional damage waiver, if the Renter chooses to add it.
  • A delivery fee, if the Renter chooses delivery over pickup and the Owner offers it.
  • Applicable sales tax.
  • A refundable security deposit, held (not charged) until the rental concludes.

A booking request is not confirmed until the Owner accepts it. Owners may decline any booking request.

7. Cancellations and refunds

[Foedera's specific cancellation window and refund schedule will be set out here — e.g., full refund if cancelled more than 48 hours before the rental start, partial refund inside that window. This is a business policy decision that should be finalized and reviewed by counsel before relying on it.]

8. Damage waiver

The damage waiver is an optional product Renters may purchase at booking. [The specific scope of what is and is not covered by the damage waiver — deductibles, exclusions such as gross negligence or misuse, and the claims process — needs to be finalized with an insurance advisor or underwriter before this waiver is relied upon by either Owners or Renters. Until that's finalized, this section should be treated as a placeholder, not a binding coverage description.]

9. Payments

Payments are processed by Stripe. Foedera does not store your full payment card details. By making a booking, you authorize Foedera to charge your payment method for the amounts described in your booking confirmation, and to hold and later release a security deposit.

10. Prohibited conduct

You agree not to:

  • List equipment you don't have the right to rent out.
  • Provide false or misleading information in a listing or booking.
  • Use the platform for any unlawful purpose.
  • Attempt to circumvent Foedera's booking or payment process.
  • Interfere with or disrupt the platform's operation or security.

11. Disclaimer of warranties

Foedera provides the platform "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We don't warrant that the platform will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, and we don't warrant the condition, safety, or suitability of any equipment listed.

12. Limitation of liability

[A limitation-of-liability clause will go here, capping Foedera's liability and excluding indirect or consequential damages. Given that this platform facilitates rental of heavy equipment with real potential for property damage or physical injury, this section — along with the assumption-of-risk and indemnification provisions below — should be drafted and reviewed by an attorney familiar with equipment rental or marketplace liability, not relied on in placeholder form.]

13. Indemnification

[Indemnification language, under which Owners and Renters agree to cover Foedera's losses arising from their own use of the platform, their equipment, or their conduct, will go here — also pending attorney review.]

14. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

15. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we'll post the updated terms here with a new effective date.
