An equipment lease can be structured with a start and end date or on a month-to-month basis. Depending on the agreement, the lessee may be able to make modifications or adjustments to the equipment as long as it does not affect its value.

In most contracts, an indemnification clause serves to compensate a party for harm or loss arising in connection with the other party's actions or failure to act. The intent is to shift liability away from one party, and on to the indemnifying party.
