By accessing this website or placing a hire order you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions and all applicable Australian laws. We may amend these terms at any time. Changes take effect once published on this page, and your continued use of the website means you accept the updated terms.
You may create an account to place and manage a hire. You are responsible for keeping your password confidential and for all activity that occurs under your account. It is a breach of these terms to register as, or represent, a person you are not authorised to represent. We may contact you to verify the validity of your account and the security of your login details.
Prices shown on this website are in Australian Dollars and include GST unless stated otherwise. Prices are subject to change without notice. Prices should be treated as an invitation to treat rather than a binding offer. Your hire order is an offer to hire, and a binding contract is formed only when we accept your order and confirm your booking. Where a pricing error has occurred, we may cancel or amend an order and will let you know promptly.
Payment for your hire, any extension, any wrap purchase and the refundable deposit is taken at the time of booking. Card payments are processed by Stripe, our third-party payment provider, over an encrypted connection. We do not see or store your full card details on our systems. Your use of the payment process is also subject to Stripe terms and privacy practices.
Every hire is also governed by our Rental Agreement, which forms part of these Terms and Conditions. In summary, equipment is hired in two week blocks, a refundable deposit of $80 applies to every hire, delivery is free within the Perth metropolitan area, and equipment is returned in person to 61 Guthrie St, Osborne Park WA 6017. Wraps and pads are purchased rather than hired and are kept by you for hygiene reasons. You are responsible for the equipment from delivery until it is returned and accepted by us, and replacement costs apply if a unit is damaged beyond repair, lost or not returned. The full detail is set out in the Rental Agreement.
