Copyright Agent Chicago Copy Rental, Inc. 7301 W. 25th Street, Suite 220 North Riverside, IL 60546 copyrightagent@ucopier.com

This address is for copyright notices only. On receipt of a notice conforming to 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), we will act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the material. Submitting a false notice carries substantial penalties under U.S. law.


9. Accounts and Passwords

Some areas of the Site allow you to create an account. You are responsible for keeping your password confidential and for all activity under your account. You agree the information you provide is accurate and that you will keep it current. We are not liable for loss arising from your failure to safeguard your credentials.


10. Product Information, Pricing, and Availability

We work to keep product descriptions, pricing, and availability accurate, but errors occur. We cannot confirm the price or availability of an item until your order is placed, and the price shown at checkout controls. If an item is mispriced, misdescribed, or unavailable, we may correct the error or cancel the order and issue a refund.

Products, services, specifications, and pricing are subject to change without notice and do not constitute a warranty or commitment.

Not all products and services are available in all areas. Our rental and service program is offered in the Chicagoland area.


11. Rentals, Sales, and Other Agreements

Purchases, rentals, and service arrangements are governed by the applicable separate agreement — including our Rental Terms and Conditions, any signed proposal, and any terms of sale.

In the event of a conflict between these Terms and any such agreement, that agreement controls with respect to its subject matter. Nothing in these Terms supersedes, modifies, or terminates a signed proposal or the Rental Terms and Conditions.


12. Third-Party Links

The Site may link to third-party websites or reference third-party products. These are provided for convenience and information only and are not endorsements. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or practices of any third-party site, and you access them at your own risk.

Some pages may embed YouTube content. Use of that content is subject to the YouTube Terms of Service.


13. Disclaimers

THE SITE AND ITS CONTENT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE MAKE NO WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR THAT THE SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

This section applies to the Site only. Warranties covering rented equipment and service are set out in our Rental Terms and Conditions.


14. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SITE, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS OR LOST DATA, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY.

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SITE WILL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100).

Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited under Illinois law.


15. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Ucopier and its officers, employees, and agents from any claims, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your use of the Site or your breach of these Terms. We may assume control of the defense of any such claim at your expense, and you will not settle any matter involving us without our written consent.


16. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Site at any time, with or without notice. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination — including Sections 5, 7, 13, 14, 15, 17, and 18 — will survive.


17. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.

Any claim or dispute arising out of or relating to the Site or these Terms must be brought exclusively in the state courts of Cook County, Illinois, or in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, and you consent to the jurisdiction of those courts.

Any claim must be filed within one (1) year after it arose, or it is permanently barred, except where a longer period is required by law.


18. General Provisions

These Terms are the entire agreement between you and Ucopier regarding the Site, and supersede prior agreements on that subject. They do not supersede the Rental Terms and Conditions, any signed proposal, or any terms of sale, which govern their own subject matter.

If any provision is held unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary and the remaining provisions will stay in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it.

Rental Terms and Conditions

Chicago Copy Rental, Inc. d/b/a Ucopier 7301 W. 25th Street, Suite 220, North Riverside, IL 60546 866-938-2679 · legal@ucopier.com

Effective August 2, 2026

For rental agreements already in effect on this date, these Terms take effect October 1, 2026. Until then, the terms in place at the time of signing continue to apply.

These Rental Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern the rental of equipment and the related service program provided by Chicago Copy Rental, Inc., doing business as Ucopier ("Ucopier," "we," "us," or "our") to the customer identified on the applicable proposal or invoice ("Customer," "you," or "your").


1. Agreement Structure

Your agreement with us consists of (a) the signed proposal, (b) these Terms, and (c) any written amendment signed by both parties. The signed proposal identifies the specific equipment, monthly rate, included page allowance, overage rate, and delivery location. If the signed proposal and these Terms conflict, the signed proposal controls as to that specific point.

These Terms govern the rental relationship. Our website Terms of Use govern use of ucopier.com and do not modify these Terms.


2. Definitions

Equipment means the multifunction copier, printer, or related device identified on the proposal, together with all accessories, finishers, feeders, and components we supply.

Page means one 8.5" x 11" single-sided impression, black and white or color. Larger sheet sizes count as two pages. Duplex printing counts as two pages.

Included Pages means the monthly page allowance stated on the proposal.

Service Program means the all-inclusive service and supply coverage described in Section 6.


3. Term, Renewal, and Cancellation

This is a month-to-month rental agreement. There is no minimum term and no long-term commitment.

The initial term begins on the installation date and continues month to month until cancelled. Either party may cancel by giving thirty (30) days' written notice to the other. Written notice includes email to service@ucopier.com.

On cancellation, you remain responsible for (a) all amounts invoiced through the effective cancellation date, (b) any overage charges accrued but not yet billed, and (c) the cost of returning the Equipment as described in Section 17.

We may suspend or terminate service immediately in the event of default under Section 16.


4. Ownership and Title

The Equipment is rented, not sold or financed. Title to and ownership of the Equipment remain with Ucopier at all times. You acquire no ownership, equity, or purchase interest in the Equipment through any payment made under this agreement, regardless of the number of payments made or the length of the rental.

You will not sell, sublease, pledge, encumber, or grant any security interest in the Equipment. You will keep the Equipment free of all liens and will notify us promptly if any third party asserts a claim against it.

You will not remove, deface, or obscure any identification, serial number, or ownership label affixed to the Equipment.


5. Monthly Rate and Billing

The monthly rate stated on your proposal is billed monthly in advance and covers the Equipment and the Service Program.

Invoices are due on receipt unless otherwise stated. Payment may be made by check, ACH, or credit card as arranged.

We may adjust the monthly rate with sixty (60) days' written notice. If you do not accept an adjustment, you may cancel under Section 3 without penalty before it takes effect.


6. What the Service Program Includes

Your monthly rate includes:

  • All toner and staples, shipped to you before you run out
  • All service calls, including parts and labor, with no per-visit charge
  • Routine preventive maintenance
  • Standard delivery and installation
  • Unlimited telephone, text, email, and online support requests
  • Onsite response by the next business day for requests received during business hours (9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Central, Monday through Friday, excluding holidays)

Response times are targets based on normal operating conditions and are not guaranteed.


7. What Is Not Included

The following are not covered by the monthly rate:

  • Paper and other print media
  • Pages beyond your Included Pages, billed at the overage rate on your proposal
  • Optional network setup and integration, billed hourly at the rate on your proposal
  • Return shipping on cancellation
  • Repairs required because of misuse, abuse, vandalism, liquid damage, power surges or electrical faults, fire, water, pest infestation, relocation not performed by us, use of non-Ucopier supplies, or operation outside manufacturer specifications
  • Costs arising from your network, software, or third-party systems

8. Included Pages, Rollover, and Overages

Unused Included Pages roll over to the following month and remain available while this agreement is in effect.

Unused pages have no cash value. They are not credited, refunded, or paid out at any time, including on cancellation.

Pages used beyond your available balance are billed at the overage rate stated on your proposal, in arrears, on the following invoice.

You may request a change to your Included Pages allowance at any time. Adjusted rates take effect on the next billing cycle.


9. Meter Readings

Overage billing is based on the Equipment's meter. You agree to permit meter readings, whether collected automatically by the Equipment, remotely, or by our technician onsite.

If automatic collection is unavailable, you agree to provide a meter reading within five (5) business days of our request. If we do not receive a reading, we may estimate usage based on your prior three months and reconcile it on the next available reading.


10. Delivery, Installation, and Location

We will deliver and install the Equipment at the Ship To address on your proposal. You will provide a suitable location with adequate space, ventilation, and a dedicated grounded electrical outlet meeting the manufacturer's specifications.

The Equipment must remain at the Ship To address. You will not move it to another address without our prior written consent. If you need to relocate it, contact us and we will arrange it; relocation performed by anyone other than Ucopier voids service coverage for any resulting damage.

You will provide reasonable access to the Equipment during business hours for installation, service, supply delivery, meter readings, and removal.


11. Customer Responsibilities

You agree to:

  • Operate the Equipment in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions
  • Use only supplies provided by Ucopier
  • Keep the Equipment in a clean, dry, climate-controlled environment
  • Not attempt repairs or modifications, and not permit anyone other than Ucopier to service the Equipment
  • Report malfunctions promptly
  • Maintain the electrical and network environment required for operation

12. Risk of Loss and Insurance

You bear the risk of loss, theft, destruction, or damage to the Equipment from the time of delivery until it is returned to us, except for damage caused by our own negligence or normal wear and tear.

You will, at your expense, maintain property insurance covering the Equipment at full replacement value against loss, theft, fire, water, and damage, naming Chicago Copy Rental, Inc. as loss payee. You will provide a certificate of insurance on request.

If the Equipment is lost, stolen, or damaged beyond economical repair, you will pay us its fair market replacement value, less any insurance proceeds we actually receive.


13. Data Stored on the Equipment

Multifunction equipment contains internal storage that may retain images of documents you copy, scan, print, or fax.

You are responsible for the data you place on the Equipment. We recommend enabling any available image-overwrite and encryption features, and we will assist you in configuring them on request.

On written request, we will overwrite or physically remove the internal storage device before the Equipment leaves your premises, and will provide written confirmation of the method used and the date performed.

If you are subject to HIPAA, GLBA, or similar obligations, contact us before installation so we can address any required safeguards or agreements.


14. Taxes

All rates are exclusive of applicable Illinois sales, use, rental, and other taxes, which will be added to your invoice where required by law. If you claim an exemption, you will provide a valid exemption certificate before installation.


15. Late Charges

Invoices not paid within thirty (30) days of the invoice date may be assessed a late charge of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month on the unpaid balance, or the maximum rate permitted under Illinois law, whichever is less. The parties agree this charge is a reasonable estimate of the administrative and financing costs of late payment and is not a penalty.


16. Default and Remedies

You are in default if you (a) fail to pay any invoice within sixty (60) days of its date, (b) materially breach these Terms and do not cure within ten (10) days of written notice, or (c) become insolvent, cease operations, or become subject to bankruptcy proceedings.

On default, we may, in addition to any other remedy available at law: suspend the Service Program; suspend supply shipments; enter your premises during business hours to recover the Equipment; declare all accrued amounts immediately due; and recover our reasonable costs of collection, including attorneys' fees.


17. Return of Equipment

On cancellation or termination, you will make the Equipment available for pickup at the Ship To address during business hours within ten (10) business days.

You are responsible for the cost of return shipping or pickup. The Equipment must be returned in the condition delivered, less normal wear and tear, with all accessories and components supplied.

You are responsible for removing your own data and settings before pickup, subject to Section 13.


18. Warranty Disclaimer

WE WARRANT THAT THE EQUIPMENT WILL BE IN GOOD WORKING ORDER AT INSTALLATION AND THAT SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED IN A WORKMANLIKE MANNER. EXCEPT AS STATED IN THIS SECTION, THE EQUIPMENT IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WE DISCLAIM ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.


19. Limitation of Liability

WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY.

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US UNDER IT IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

Nothing in this section limits liability that cannot be limited under Illinois law.


20. Force Majeure

Neither party is liable for delay or failure to perform caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including natural disasters, severe weather, fire, labor disputes, supply chain disruption, utility or network failure, or government action. Payment obligations are not excused.


21. Assignment

You may not assign this agreement or transfer possession of the Equipment without our prior written consent. We may assign this agreement in connection with a sale or transfer of our business or assets.


22. Governing Law and Venue

This agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.

Any dispute arising out of or relating to this agreement will be brought exclusively in the state courts of Cook County, Illinois, or in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, and each party consents to the jurisdiction of those courts.


23. Entire Agreement; Amendment; Severability

The signed proposal together with these Terms is the entire agreement between the parties regarding the Equipment and supersedes all prior discussions, proposals, and representations on that subject.

These Terms may be amended only in a writing signed by both parties, except that we may update these Terms prospectively on sixty (60) days' written notice, in which case you may cancel under Section 3 if you do not accept the change.

If any provision is held unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions will remain in full effect.

A party's failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of its right to enforce it later.
