Definitions

 

In these terms and conditions of hire, the following meanings shall apply:

“I, me, my and The Event Man Ltd” refers to The Event Man LTD
“you, your” refers to the named person on the booking.
“your hire” means all arrangements and items sourced and organised for you by me.
 

I reserve the right to amend these terms and conditions at any time and you should therefore check them each time you hire items from me. The terms and conditions applying to your hire will be those in place on the date that you make your reservation.

 

1.Property Ownership

 

1.1 All equipment and hire items are the property of The Event Man and always remains so throughout your hire.

 

1.2 By accepting these terms and conditions, you agree that you are always solely responsible for the hire items throughout your hire, from the set up or collection of the items until The Event Man Ltd collects the items or they are returned by you.

 

2. Payment Terms

 

2.1 A non-refundable deposit of 30% is due upon booking. Your items and services are not reserved for you until the deposit has been accepted by Me. You will receive a confirmation of booking and receipt of your deposit payment as well as the Terms of the payment for your booking.

 

2.2 The remaining 70% balance is due 2 weeks before the date of hire unless agreed in writing by The Event Man Ltd

 

3. Standard Hire Period

 

3.1 Unless specifically arranged at the time of booking, all standard hires are based on a total of 24 hours.

 

4. Failure to Pay for or Return Items

 

4.1 If The Event Man is unable to collect any of the Hired items at the agreed time a £35 fee will be charged to rearrange a new collection time for that day. If The Event man Ltd  has arranged for you to return the hire items and the agreed time has not been met, then you will be charged an overdue fee of £35 per day. If items fail to be returned after an extended period of 72 Hours, you will be liable for the full replacement value and we will exercise our right to pursue you legally for this cost.

 

4.2 If an agreement has been made to accept late payment, but a final payment deadline has passed, or if a late or damage invoice has failed to be paid by the deadline agreed, I will pass the debt on to a third-party debt collection agency.

 

5. Hire Item Condition

 

5.1 As much as I try to eliminate marks and small stains form all my linens and hire products, due to the items not being new, there may be times where there may be marks. I do bring spare linen with me when setting up with which I will try to rectify any obvious marks. Being a hire product along with all my other hire items, there may be slight scratches and marks, none of these items are new so will have some wear and tear.

 

5.2 If an item you have booked is damaged or lost prior to your hire taking place you will be informed, and every effort will be made to replace the item like for like. If this is not possible you will be entitled to a refund for that item only. No further compensation will be due.
