The full amount of the hire deposit, being 50% of the total amount of the hire, is paid at the time of booking as confirmation of the booking. No booking will be considered confirmed until this deposit has been paid in full. The deposit is to be in the form of Credit Card, Bank Transfer or Paypal.

Handling and Care

It is expected that all hirers of Hire-An-Umbrella property take due care of the umbrellas during hire. Instructions on the handling and care of the umbrellas are expected to be followed. Particularly, please allow the umbrellas to dry before packing away.

Lost or Damaged Goods

A Lost or Damaged Fee of $25 per umbrella will be charged for any umbrella returned in a condition that is irreparable and prevents it from being re-hired. This includes stains, bent or broken shafts, scratches or any wear and tear above and beyond that from normal use. The judgement of whether wear and tear has been above and beyond normal use is entirely at the discretion of Hire-An-Umbrella.com.au. For any damage that is repairable, the full repair fee will be charged to the hirer as a Damage and Repair Fee.

The period of hire is from the Thursday before your event date to the Monday after your event date. Events on Tuesday or Wednesday require next-day return. A Late Fee of $20 per day is charged for umbrellas not returned by the Monday.

The hirer will return the umbrellas on the return date and time set out in the agreement. The hirer acknowledges that Hire-An-Umbrella will not refund any monies to them if, at their own discretion, they decide to return the umbrellas prior to the return due date.

Responsibility

Hire-An-Umbrella cannot be held liable for any costs incurred as a result of using the umbrellas in any circumstances. While Hire-An-Umbrella takes all care to ensure all umbrellas are in a quality condition, the hirer takes responsibility for any use of the umbrellas once received. It is recommended that you check all umbrellas before use.

Any issues brought to the attention of Hire-An-Umbrella, including loss or damage, outside of 24 hours of receiving the umbrellas will be considered the hirer’s responsibility and fees and charges may occur as a result.

The hirer at all times shall, use the equipment in accordance with all laws and Government Regulations pertaining to the use of the equipment, and in a proper manner.

The hirer acknowledges and agrees that he/she has relied on his/her own judgment, in relation to the fitness of the equipment to perform any particular job, or function prior to signing this agreement. And further acknowledges that he/she has not communicated to the owner, its servants, or agents, the particular use to which he intend to put the equipment.

Hire-An-Umbrella shall bear no responsibility for any injuries resulting from the use/misuse of any hire equipment or failure of such equipment supplied to the hirer. The hirer shall be responsible for all medical and transportation expenses as a result of such injuries.
