⚠ Assumption of Risk, Waiver, and Irreversibility of Repair Process

  1. The Client expressly acknowledges, understands, and agrees that coffee machines—particularly internal and load-bearing components including but not limited to boilers, boiler threads, threaded ports, fittings, adapters, pipe connections, solenoid valves, heat exchangers, probes, sensors, gaskets, seals, O-rings, screws, fasteners, frames, and internal plumbing assemblies—are subject to progressive, concealed, and irreversible deterioration caused by scale buildup, corrosion, rust, mineral deposits, water quality, thermal stress, vibration, age, and normal wear and tear.
  2. The Client further acknowledges that such conditions are latent in nature and may not be reasonably detectable without dismantling, opening, or disassembling the machine, and that any quotation, estimate, or prior approval, including approval for full descaling, preventive maintenance, or overhaul, is preliminary and conditional, and may be revised once internal components are exposed.
  3. By authorizing TCDSC to proceed with inspection, dismantling, descaling, or repair, the Client voluntarily assumes all risks associated with the discovery of additional damage, escalation of repair costs, and the possibility that certain components may fracture, fail, deform, or become non-reusable during or after disassembly due solely to their pre-existing condition.
  4. Should the Client elect to discontinue or withdraw from the repair after such internal damage has been uncovered, the Client irrevocably waives, releases, and forever discharges TCDSC, its owners, technicians, employees, and agents from any and all claims, demands, liabilities, or causes of action, whether known or unknown, arising from: the deterioration, breakage, or failure of any component due to wear, corrosion, scaling, or material fatigue; the inability to reassemble or restore the machine to its prior operational or physical condition; and any alleged loss of value, usability, or functionality resulting from the authorized repair process.
  5. The Client expressly agrees that TCDSC shall have no obligation to: 
    1. return the machine to its pre-disassembly condition; 
    2. replace or subsidize damaged components discovered during repair; or
    3. complete reassembly where such action is no longer technically feasible, safe, or commercially reasonable. All labor performed, diagnostics conducted, disassembly undertaken, and components exposed, removed, or rendered unusable during the authorized process shall remain billable, non-refundable, and immediately due, regardless of whether the repair is completed.

    2. If the machine is brought to our service center for repair or maintenance. ​

*Please understand that any attempt to install spare parts yourself or have them installed by a third party ​​may​ ​void ​the ​warranty for your espresso machine.

  1. Service Exclusion and Sale of Parts - Please note that the purchase of spare parts from The Coffee District is solely for the sale of the parts as is, without any included service such as troubleshooting, repair, or installation guidance. We emphasize that the parts are sold under the condition that the customer is responsible for determining their suitability and installation, which should be performed by a professional or under professional supervision if uncertain.
  2. By providing only the spare part, we aim to clarify our role in the maintenance of your machine: to supply the necessary components without extending into hands-on technical support, which is available at our service center. This approach ensures that customers understand the limits of our responsibility, avoiding any expectations of after-sale troubleshooting or personalized installation assistance directly from The Coffee District.
  3. By proceeding with a spare parts purchase from The Coffee District, you acknowledge and agree to these terms and conditions.                                                     


Terms and Conditions for Rental Units

  1. The Lessor agrees to rent the equipment itemized and described, including serial numbers, in the Statement of Account (SOA) provided to the Lessee.
  2. The Lessee acknowledges that the equipment was delivered or picked up in good working order and in clean, operable condition. The Lessee accepts full responsibility for the safekeeping, proper handling, and appropriate use of the equipment throughout the rental period.
  3. The Lessee undertakes to conduct due diligence prior to the use of the equipment, including verifying the adequacy and compatibility of the electrical supply at the venue or location of use. Any equipment failure, malfunction, or damage resulting from inadequate or unstable electrical sources, including power fluctuations or insufficient wattage, shall be solely borne by the Lessee. The Lessor shall not be held liable for any losses or damage arising from such causes.
  4. The Lessee shall be fully liable for any loss of, or damage to, the equipment for the duration of the rental period. Repair or replacement costs shall be deducted from the security deposit. Should such costs exceed the amount of the deposit, the Lessee shall remain liable for the outstanding balance and agree to settle the same upon demand.
  5. The Lessee shall pay the full rental amount as specified in the SOA to confirm the reservation. Payment of the SOA amount constitutes reservation confirmation. No payment, no reservation. A non-refundable booking fee of PHP1,000.00 shall apply to secure the intended rental date. This fee shall be deductible from the total rental fee upon full settlement and shall cover services rendered for the preparation, inspection, and allocation of the unit. No pencil booking will be honored without this booking fee. 
  6. Any unpaid balance reflected in the rental breakdown must be fully settled within three (3) banking days from the date the rental breakdown is sent to the Lessee. Failure to settle within the prescribed period shall subject the unpaid balance to an interest charge of one percent (1%) per month, counted from the due date until full payment is received. The Lessor reserves the right to enforce collection remedies should the Lessee default on payment obligations.
  7. For equipment classified as double group head machines, a refundable security deposit of PHP10,000.00 is required. For home-use machines and grinders, the required refundable security deposit is PHP5,000.00. All security deposits must be paid in full prior to the release of any rented equipment. The Lessee must submit two (2) valid government-issued IDs bearing the same address prior to the confirmed pick-up or delivery date. This is especially mandatory for renters of double group head machines. Failure to comply may result in withholding of equipment release until compliance is fulfilled.
  8. Late returns shall incur a daily rental charge equivalent to the machine’s agreed daily rental rate, calculated per calendar day, until the equipment is fully returned. All requests for extension of the rental period must be submitted in writing and shall be subject to the express written approval of the Lessor.
  9. The Lessee, whose machine is currently under repair by The Coffee District (the Lessor) provided that the machine being repaired is bought from TCD, is entitled to a 50% discount on the standard rental rate for the duration of the repair.
  10. Machines currently undergoing repair at The Coffee District Service Center (TCDSC) are automatically granted rental extension privileges without the need for separate confirmation from the Lessor, provided that such extension directly corresponds to the duration of the ongoing repair.
  11. For machines rented for events and reasons other the rental repair, the signed Quotation and agreed rental period therein shall be the only dates recognized and honored by the Lessor. Any request for extension of the rental period must be expressly approved by the Lessor in writing prior to the lapse of the original agreed return date. Should an extension request be denied, and the Lessee nonetheless fails to return the equipment as scheduled in the signed Quotation, resulting in the Lessor’s inability to fulfill subsequent confirmed client bookings, the Lessee expressly agrees that the security deposit shall be automatically forfeited as penalty, without prejudice to the Lessor’s right to recover additional damages or losses actually incurred due to such delay.
  12. Upon pick-up of the repaired machine, the Lessee is required to return the rental unit within three (3) calendar days. Failure to return the unit within this period shall result in the imposition of the full standard daily rental rate for the assigned unit starting on the fourth (4th) day, and continuing until the rental unit is fully returned in good condition.
  13. The security deposit shall be refunded within five to seven (5-7) banking days from the date the equipment (Machine, grinder and accessories) is returned and inspected, provided the following conditions are met: (i) no damage is found; and (ii) all accessories borrowed with the machine are returned in full. 
  14. The Lessee is granted a period of twenty-four (24) hours from the time of payment confirmation to request any changes to the rental dates, machine type, or accessories. After the lapse of said twenty-four (24)-hour period, all details of the booking shall be deemed final, binding, and unalterable. Rental booked and paid less than twenty-four (24) hours prior to the scheduled pick-up or delivery, the booking shall be considered final and confirmed immediately upon payment. No changes, rescheduling, or substitutions shall be permitted in such cases.
  15. The Lessee acknowledges and agrees that once the Equipment has been picked up and released from TCDSC’s custody, the rental is deemed to have commenced and the entire rental quotation becomes non-forfeitable. Any cancellation of the ongoing rental thereafter, whether due to event cancellation or for any reason on the part of the Lessee, shall not entitle the Lessee to any refund, credit, or rebate for unused rental days.
  16. In the event of a cancellation prior to pick-up due to unforeseen circumstances such as severe weather conditions, other force majeure events, or for any other reason on the part of the Client, TCDSC shall allow the cancellation of the booking. However, the ₱1,000.00 booking fee shall be deemed non-refundable and forfeited.
  17. Payment made under the signed Quotation and/or Rental Agreement is strictly for the rental period and dates therein agreed upon. Such payment shall be considered fully earned by TCDSC regardless of the Lessee’s actual use of the Equipment. No moving, rescheduling, or transfer of rental dates shall be allowed after confirmation of the booking and issuance of the signed Quotation.  By confirming the rental and making payment, the Lessee expressly waives any claim for refund or adjustment arising from shortened use, unused days, or cancellation for any reason not attributable to TCDSC.
  18. All accessories borrowed must be returned simultaneously with the machine. Failure to return accessories—even if the machine is returned on time—shall incur late return penalties based on the machine’s daily rate. If the accessories remain unreturned after two (2) calendar days, the Lessor shall consider them lost and shall deduct both the applicable late return fees and replacement cost from the security deposit. The five to seven (5-7) banking day security deposit refund period shall commence only upon the complete return of all equipment and accessories.
  19. The Lessee acknowledges and agrees that any damage incurred during transit or delivery by third-party logistics shall be solely the responsibility of the Lessee. The Lessor shall provide photo or video documentation of the equipment’s condition prior to release. The Lessor shall not be liable for any loss or damage arising during third-party transport. For deliveries or returns via third-party logistics, the Lessee must book a sedan or larger vehicle for machines. Use of motorcycles for machine delivery or return is strictly prohibited. Only grinders may be transported via motorcycle, provided they are securely packed.
  20. To avoid unforeseen problems and minimize logistics-related risks, The Coffee District highly encourages clients to personally pick up equipment from the showroom. This allows the Lessee to check the unit and receive a basic orientation, especially if unfamiliar with the machine. This ensures the unit is tested and that basic operating instructions are properly communicated prior to dispatch. In the event that the Lessee cannot personally pick up the unit and must rely on third-party logistics, it is the Lessee's responsibility to immediately inspect and test the machine upon receipt. We do not recommend direct deployment of machines to events without prior familiarization and testing. The Lessor will send documentation prior to dispatch confirming machine condition. If the machine is found to be non-functional upon receipt, replacement will be subject to availability, and the Lessee will shoulder the full cost of return and re-dispatch logistics.
  21. In the event that the Lessee elects to have the equipment picked up by a representative or through a third-party logistics provider, the Lessee shall provide the Lessor, in advance and in writing or via chat, the complete name of the authorized representative or the tracking link and official information of the third-party courier or transport service. The Lessor shall have no obligation to release the equipment to any individual or entity whose identity has not been expressly and clearly communicated by the Lessee.
  22. The Lessor reserves the right to withhold release of the equipment in the absence of prior authorization and shall not be held liable for any delays, cancellations, or other consequences arising from such withholding. The Lessee bears the sole responsibility for the proper and timely coordination with any representative or third-party logistics provider.
  23. Should the machine be stolen or lost during delivery by any third-party logistics provider, whether booked by the Lessee or the Lessor, the Lessee shall be fully liable and shall be required to either (i) pay the full replacement value of the machine based on current market price for the brand-new equivalent unit or (ii) replace the unit with an identical model, version, brand, and specifications, subject to the Lessor’s approval. Damage caused by third-party delivery shall likewise be the responsibility of the Lessee, and all coordination with the third-party logistics provider shall be solely handled by the Lessee. Under no circumstances shall the Lessor be held liable for damage, loss, or delays associated with third-party logistics. 
  24. Any machine that remains unreturned for a period of fifteen (15) calendar days beyond the agreed return date, without the express written approval of the Lessor for an extension, shall be considered lost. The Lessor reserves the right to initiate legal action and to seek recovery of damages, including the full replacement cost, against the Lessee in such an event.
  25. All equipment pickups and returns shall be made exclusively at The Coffee District Maginhawa Showroom, located at 140 Maginhawa Street, Sikatuna Village, Quezon City. The earliest allowable time for equipment pickup shall be at 10:30 AM, and the latest allowable time is at 5:45 PM, provided that all required preconditions—namely, the completion of payment, issuance of invoice, and presentation of all necessary documents—have been fully satisfied in advance. Under no circumstance shall any equipment be released prior to 10:30 AM.
  26. The Lessee acknowledges and agrees that all Mondays shall be strictly designated for pick-up and drop-off transactions only. No new rental processing, reservation, or documentation shall be entertained on Mondays. Only rentals that have been duly scheduled, confirmed, and pre-processed prior to Monday shall be accommodated. The Lessor expressly reserves the right to refuse any unscheduled, walk-in, or uncoordinated rental processing attempted on a Monday.
  27. The Lessee further agrees that for Monday pick-ups, only pick-up and machine testing shall be entertained. All invoicing and payments must be completed on or before the preceding Sunday, with a strict cut-off time of 5:00 PM. Any payment received beyond this cut-off shall be automatically refunded, and no rental reservation shall be processed for the immediate Monday.
  28. The Lessee also agrees that, in the case of a Monday pick-up, the required testing of the machine shall be conducted on the preceding Sunday. Thereafter, The Coffee District Service Center (TCDSC) shall pack the equipment and endorse it for showroom release on Monday.
  29. The latest permissible return time for all rented equipment shall be no later than 6:00 PM and no earlier than 10:00 AM. Any attempt to return or deliver equipment outside of this designated timeframe—whether before 10:00 AM or after 6:00 PM—shall not be entertained, accepted, or recorded, regardless of the cause or justification for such delay. The Lessee is hereby strongly advised to make adequate logistical arrangements to ensure compliance with the stated schedule. The Lessor shall bear no liability for failed or late returns attempted beyond the allowed hours, nor shall such attempts be considered a valid return under this agreement.
  30. Drop-offs or deliveries beyond 6:00 PM or prior 10:00 AM shall not be entertained or received, irrespective of the reason for delay. The Lessee is hereby notified and strongly advised to plan accordingly and ensure that all returns are completed within the specified time window. The Lessor shall bear no responsibility for, and shall not accept, any return attempts made after the designated cut-off time. Any late returns may, at the sole discretion of the Lessor, incur additional charges equivalent to a full day’s rental rate or be subject to refusal until the next business day. Returns scheduled on a Monday shall only be accepted with a prior confirmed appointment. The Lessor expressly disclaims any obligation to accommodate walk-ins or uncoordinated returns on Mondays. The Lessee shall be solely responsible for coordinating such Monday transactions in advance.
  31. Any late returns, at the sole discretion of the Lessor, will be charged an additional rental fee equivalent to one (1) full day’s rate per day of delay, or, alternatively, may be refused and deferred to the next operating day, subject to applicable penalties. Returns scheduled for a Monday shall be entertained strictly by prior confirmed appointment only. The Lessor expressly reserves the right to refuse walk-ins or any uncoordinated return attempts on Mondays without prior notice. It is the sole responsibility of the Lessee to secure timely coordination and appointment approval for any Monday return transaction.
  32. The Lessor shall not be held responsible for any failure or delay in performance due to events beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to natural disasters, government-imposed restrictions, labor disputes, acts of God, or any other unforeseeable circumstances. Furthermore, the Lessor shall not be liable for any operational failure, damage, or inability to use the equipment arising from the Lessee’s failure to inspect or test the machine prior to use, including but not limited to failure to familiarize themselves with the unit’s operation, setup, or required power specifications, especially in cases where the equipment is deployed directly to events or functions without adequate preparation or prior confirmation of its working condition. It is the sole responsibility of the Lessee to ensure that the equipment is properly inspected, tested, and understood prior to use. The Lessor disclaims all liability for issues resulting from neglect or failure to perform such due diligence.

Please note: Communication delays may occur due to high foot traffic or active transactions at the showroom. We ask for your patience and understanding when awaiting responses via chat.
