22. WAIVER: The failure of either party to enforce any provisions of this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver or limitation of that party's right to subsequently enforce and compel strict compliance with every provision of this Agreement. The acceptance of rent by Company does not waive Company’s right to enforce any provisions of this Agreement.

23. INDEMNIFICATION: Except for damages, claims or losses due to Company’s acts or negligence, Renter, to the extent permitted by law, will indemnify and hold Company and Company’s property, free and harmless from any liability for losses, claims, injury to or death of any person, including Renter, or for damage to property arising from Renter using and possessing the Equipment or from the acts or omissions of any person or persons, including Renter, using or possessing the Equipment with Renter’s express or implied consent.
