Can I add on equipment to my initial existing rental agreement during the rental term?

Can I cancel the arrangement before the end of the term?

If you cancel the arrangement and return the equipment before the end of the rental term, you must still pay for the balance owing. A more cost effective alternative is to upgrade to new equipment and execute a new rental agreement.
