• 2017 Ohio 418

Syllabus

Trial court did not err in granting summary judgment to the rental company on plaintiff's negligence claim on the basis of a hold harmless clause signed by the plaintiff, where the hold harmless clause unambiguously releases the rental company from liability for any injury caused by the equipment and/or resulting from the company's negligence. Trial court did not err in granting summary judgment to the rental company on the issue of punitive damages where there was no evidence the rental company acted with actual malice when it rented the bounce house to plaintiff.
