## How to use

1. Carry chosen items into the inquiry rather than asking the visitor to reconstruct a list.
2. Require rental dates, but let uncertain specifications go to a person.
3. Check overlapping reservations, setup capacity and travel before confirming.
4. Reply with the agreed equipment, dates, exclusions and applicable booking terms.

## Scope

Submitting this brief does not reserve equipment. This is not a rental contract or a live inventory system.
