Terms and Conditions of Hire

All the equipment remains the property of PA Team referred to as the Company.

Hire charges are based on the period of the contract irrespective of whether or not the equipment is in use.

The Customer must be aged 18 or over at the time of making a booking.

Hire commences upon delivery to the Customer and ceases upon return to the Company. Equipment is not regarded as returned to the Company until it is checked and inspected by an authorised member of the Company’s staff and a formal receipt issued on behalf of the Company.

Late returns of equipment will incur further charges at the full rate of hire for each and every day that the equipment remains unreturned to the Company.

All live hire and unattended hire bookings must be paid for at the commencement of the hire period.

For corporate attended hire, payment must be made in full within 28 days of the invoice date. Payments made later than this may incur additional charges.

For unattended hire, the Company may require photo ID and proof of address prior to releasing any equipment and a deposit of up to 20% of the equipment value may be required. This will be returned in full when the equipment is returned in the same condition as it was hired.

Equipment hired will be entirely at the Customer’s risk during the hire period and the Customer will be responsible for any loss or damage thereto howsoever arising.

All equipment supplied by the Company will be PAT tested as appropriate and meet all relevant electrical regulations.

The Customer undertakes responsibility for insuring equipment against `all risks` to full replacement value. Any loss or damage to the equipment is to be reimbursed to the Company by the Customer to the full replacement value thereof.

The Customer undertakes to ensure that the Company’s equipment shall not be used for any purposes beyond its capacity or in any other manner likely to result in undue deterioration of the equipment.

The Company cannot be responsible for any injuries to personnel or damage to property consequential to and arising from any improper use of the equipment by the Customer or by any other person whether or not authorised by the Customer, during the period of the hire.

Equipment hired must not be altered by the Customer or modified in any way. In particular, cables must not be cut, and plugs and sockets must not be rewired by the Customer. Any equipment found to be modified or in any way altered and any cables or components found to be damaged by cutting or attempts at any modification will be charged at replacement price upon return.

Any damage to, or failure of, or defect in any hired equipment must be notified to the Company within 24 hours of its occurrence and confirmed in writing within three days of initial notification. In the absence of such notification the Customer will be charged with the cost of repair or replacement.

The Customer will be responsible for advising the Company as to the location of the hired equipment during the period of hire and of any changes in such location. No equipment hired from the Company may be taken outside the Mainland of Great Britain, either to any offshore island or to any foreign country.

All cables are supplied coiled and tied with hook/loop cable ties. A charge of £1.00 will be made for each cable returned in any other condition than as supplied.
