Noteworthy Music Terms and Conditions

1. RENTAL PAYMENTS The amount of the rental payment for the trial period is payable at the beginning of the rental period. The Renter may continue the rental beyond the trial period by making monthly rental payments. Payment includes Sales Tax. Renter agrees to pay a late charge of Five Dollars ($5.00) if payment is declined for any reason. The Renter agrees to notify Noteworthy Music in the event of a change in vital information, to include phone numbers, email addresses, physical addresses, school assignments, and payment information (Credit/Debit Card) prior to the payment date. The completion of the application and submission of payment information constitutes an authorization on the part of the Renter to charge the submitted payment method and any submitted account in replacement going forward, in accordance with this agreement.

2. PURCHASE PRIVILEGE In accordance with our mission, Noteworthy Music offers a purchase privilege discount to assist families to transition to owning a quality instrument. If at any time during the rental process the Renter wishes to convert the rental into the purchase of the rented instrument, or a new or different instrument within the existing inventory of Noteworthy Music, the discount accrued from rental payments made to date will be applied against the list price of the instrument. Noteworthy Music will offer a 20% discount off the list price for any used instrument (including the currently rented instrument) for all accounts that have maintained good standing throughout the rental period. The discount will accrue at a rate of 80% of the principal payment (minus insurance). The purchased instrument using the discount must be a band or orchestral instrument, of equal or greater value than the instrument currently being rented, and currently listed in Noteworthy Music's available inventory. If an exchange to an instrument in a lower tier is effected during the rental period, the discount built will be adjusted according to past payment velocity. The discount may not be used for any other purpose. The purchase process will begin at the request of the Renter.

OPTIONAL DAMAGE INSURANCE PLAN

By signing up for the instrument protection program the rental instrument is covered against damage not caused by willful destruction or neglect, provided your account is in good standing. Cost of the plan corresponds to the tier level of the instrument rented and is provided within the application, and formerly in this agreement. If the Renter chooses to not take advantage of this plan, they will be charged for any non-maintenance repair. The option must be added at the time of rental. This plan may not be canceled and can not be added to an already existing rental.



Coverage does not include:

  • Replacement of expendable accessories such as reeds, cleaning equipment, drumsticks, or strings.
  • Replacement of lost or damaged mouthpieces, cases, or bows.
  • Removing of minor dents that do not effect playing.
  • Damage done by any person outside Noteworthy Music attempting repair.
  • Any malicious or willful destruction.

All repair parts and replacement must be handled by NOTEWORTHY MUSIC. No reimbursement will be provided for service procured from other sources.

The Renter may return the instrument at any time with no penalty if the account is current. If they plan to return the instrument to the school, they must contact Noteworthy Music to arrange a pickup, provided the school is serviced by Noteworthy Music. The Renter is responsible for any regular payments or late charges that may accrue, until the instrument is received by Noteworthy Music. The instrument may also be returned via US mail, UPS, or any pre-paid mail service. The rental credit will be available to the Renter only as long as they have a current contract with Noteworthy Music.
