Rental Fee Options
 
  1. Unlimited Use:
    With a single annual payment determined by the number of households in the parish and/or mission parish (see Fee Schedule), a parish has unlimited use of all audio-video resources (audio cassettes, CD ROMs, video cassettes) in the Resource Center. There will not be any additional costs for postage or previewing. Parishes may include their mission parish(es) on the Unlimited Use Option. The total number of households must include those of the mission parish(es) as well.
    2. Rental For Each Resource:
    If a parish chooses not to utilize the Unlimited Use Option, each audio-video resource used will be subject to a rental fee with additional shipping costs. Payment is due 30 days after use of the resource.

User Liability
  The user is responsible for the programs during the entire period of rental and return shipment. Any damage to the programs due to machine malfunction or careless handling is the user's liability. The same holds true for loss and damage sustained during return shipping. In these cases, the user will be subject to additional replacement costs.
Previewing
  Audio-visual resources may be previewed at no cost to parishes or institutions utilizing the Unlimited Use Option. For parishes or institutions not on the Unlimited Use Option, there is a fee for previewing.
Duplication
  The programs in the Resource Center are protected by United States copyright laws. The duplication or any other reproduction of these audio-video programs is expressly prohibited.
