1:B – Venue Requirements:
All quotes provided by the company assume the site has level firm ground with good vehicular access and that there are no obstacles over or under the ground that will interfere with the installation of the equipment. If the access by foot is equal to or greater than 25m there will be an additional charge to cover the extra staff and carrying aids, this must be specified before the delivery date. The company assumes that there are no overhead or underground obstructions within the agreed marquee footprint plus 3m extra. If the hirer is unsure of this obstruction then it is their responsibility to make the correct assessment and not the responsibility of the company. In any event of the company making contact or damaging underground or overhead obstructions such as electric cables, water pipes, gas pipes, drainage pipes and any other valuable material, the cost to repair the damage is not the responsibility of the company. We suggest the hirer takes relevant insurance to cover this or ensures the correct assessment is made. ALL Technical installations MUST be stated by the Hirer within the final stages of submitting their Booking request so that the correct charges can be applied.
1:C – Damages, Dirt & Stains :
The Hirer will assume full responsibility for the safe custody of, and all damage caused to, the equipment during the period of hire. All Damages will be charged back to the Hirer on Collection of the Equipment. Damages will be logged and cleared with the Hirer before the company departs. Once the company has calculated the cost of the damages incurred, the company will send the Hirer an Invoice with all payment details and an itemised list of Damaged Equipment. Dirt, dust, paint, oil, pen, food, wine, beer, champagne are all substances that damage our canvas marquees. If any of the above substances make contact with our canvas walls or roofs both inside or out, we will apply a damage charge based on either the replacement of the items or a cleaning charge based on the exact cost of repair.
