If the equipment is missing or damaged to a lesser extent, Customer will pay to FIS upon demand the diminished value of the equipment once it is ascertained.  The acceptance of the return of rented Equipment is not a waiver by FIS of any claims that it may have against the Customer, nor a waiver of claims for any damages to the Equipment.  Customer shall indemnify and hold FIS harmless from all claims, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) arising out of the use, possession, operation, rental or non-return of equipment.

The acceptance of any rent or other payment, or any portion thereof, after a default by the Customer shall not be deemed to operate as a waiver of FIS's right to enforce the payment of rent or other payments herein provided for, or to terminate this agreement and recover possession of its Equipment. Customer shall reimburse FIS for all costs and expenses incurred by FIS in enforcing its rights hereunder, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.  This agreement contains the entire understanding between the parties, including representation, and may not be modified except by another agreement in writing, signed by both parties to this agreement.
