If calculated by the day, the rent is a fixed amount per day; if by volume or weight of the project, the price per cubic meter or ton must be determined.

Section 3: Equipment Usage Scope and Operating Hours
Restrict the operation area of the excavator to prevent lessees from using it in unauthorized locations.
Agreed upon daily working hours, including whether overtime and overtime pay are included.

If the excavator encounters a malfunction during use, both parties should communicate and negotiate the repair matter promptly.
V. Insurance and Liability
The lessor shall purchase necessary insurance, such as equipment insurance and third-party liability insurance.

Section 6: Return of Equipment

If there are any damaged or missing parts, compensation should be made in accordance with the agreement.
The lessee should conduct an inspection and acceptance upon receiving the returned excavator.
Article 7: Liability for Breach of Contract
Both parties should agree on the liability for breach of contract in the event one party violates the terms of the agreement.
