BY RENTING FROM NATIONWIDE
KARAOKE IT IS UNDERSTOOD THAT YOU HAVE READ, AGREE WITH AND WILL ADHERE
TO THE FOLLOWING:
Our
Philosophy: The Golden Rule
We
are grateful to have an ever increasing number of valued customers who
not only return year in and year out, but month and even week in and
out. We work hard for our customers and our customers show
their
appreciation. It's an answer to our prayer: "give us good
customers
and help us to be good to our customers." And, we're happy to say the
majority of our customers are "good customers."
Unfortunately,
this doesn't apply to everyone, as much as we'd like it to. There
are
a minority of customers who want to blame others for their own
mistakes. For example, not placing an order in time for their
event,
not returning their rental on time, not following the rental and return
instructions, not testing their rental system when received, etc. And,
rather than simply taking responsibility they, unfortunately, prefer to
not take responsibility and respond unreasonably. Our desire is to
serve everyone equally, but, if necessary, we will deny future rentals
to those who choose not to be reasonable, rational and take
responsibility as outlined below. So, we urge all
of our customers to please actually READ our TERMS
& CONDITIONS
(this is a rental, after all) and then simply take responsibility, as
agreed, and we will do the same. And remember, it is
karaoke...so...let's
have fun!
Thank
you for choosing Nationwide Karaoke! The Nation's First and
#1
Nationwide Karaoke Rental Provider, for a reason! We look
forward to
serving
you!

CANCELLATIONS:
Both Rentals and Events include a NON-REFUNDABLE $25 Fee subtracted
from the total payment if you decide to cancel your payment for any
reason. So, please place your order when you are ready to do so.
RENTAL
REFUNDS: We offer refunds based on system performance
and timely delivery and not personal preference or human error. The
following Rental Refund policy is based on the expectation that your
equipment should operate as promised and arrive in time for your event
as verified by the respective mail carrier, if sent by mail.
ALL REFUND REQUESTS MUST BE SUBMITTED BY PHONE ANDBY EMAIL.
We
individually inspect each piece of equipment and literally triple test
it before it is sent out to
insure it is fully operational and again when it is returned. However,
in the event you receive equipment that does not work properly we will
send you a replacement in time for your event, which is why we send the
equipment to arrive NO LATER than the business day prior to your event
so you have time to inspect it and contact us if you have any concerns.
If for any reason we are unable to replace a rental that has arrived
non-functional, we will refund 100% of your rental fee and offer you
50% off your next rental. To receive a refund of any kind, you must
test the system and contact us by phone and email by 5p the same day
you receive it and it
must be delivered and scanned by the respective mail carrier to be
shipped back to us by 10a the following mailing day.
If your
equipment works when received, but ceases to function properly during
you event, we will refund 50% of your rental fee for that piece of
equipment. Again, the item must be shipped back to us by 10a the
following mailing day. Upon inspection and verification of equipment
failure and confirmation that there was no human error or mistreatment
to the equipment, we will refund 50% of your rental fee for that piece
of equipment minus shipping fees.
We
always ship on time, guaranteed express delivery. We will generally
ship your system to arrive the business day before your event.
In rare cases (high volume seasons, etc.), we may need to ship your
rental to arrive the day of your
event. If we fail
to ship you your equipment in time for your event, we will refund your
entire payment
100% and give you 50% off your next rental.
If any equipment is missing from your order, we
will overnight you a replacement or refund that portion of your order.
We
do not give refunds for equipment that works as advertised but for
whatever reason the client is unable to operate or does not prefer. Our
systems are very easy to use and we include easy to follow
instructions. We are also available to answer any questions you may
have regarding operation during normal business hours, Monday-Saturday
CST. (So, we HIGHLY RECOMMEND you test your equipment and learn how to
use it as soon as you receive it and not wait until the time of your
event.) Our karaoke systems are designed to serve a wide variety of
people and situations and, apart from special song requests for the
Elite System, cannot be specially catered to the preferences of each
