No matter what type of commodity an individual will be using, he should check with a professional therapist about the item that will be best for him.

In these instances, the individual should have a written document stating the terms of the use, such as the amount of money he will be paying for this duration, if any, the consequences of the good being damaged within the said duration, and other necessary terms.
