We reserve the right to send an alternative item of equipment, other than specifically listed on our website, where this is necessary due to circumstances beyond our control.  In this instance, we will endeavour to send an appropriate alternative item that is fit for the purpose of your hire and, where possible, will notify you of this in writing beforehand.

You have full responsibility for the care and safekeeping of the equipment and will retain it in your possession and under your control at all times.  You are responsible for ensuring that it is used in a safe and sensible manner, used only for the purpose for which it is supplied and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and it is your responsibility to provide adequate supervision where appropriate.

 

13. Provided the goods are returned to us on the last date of hire in the same condition as you received them, and in the absence of any agreement to the contrary, we shall return the deposit to you in full.
