Baillies Marquees Terms & Conditions of Hire
In regard to the following Terms and Conditions, Baillies Marquees shall be referred to as "the company" and the prospective client wishing to hire equipment or structures shall be referred to as "the hirer".
1. Price & Payment
All prices are exclusive of V.A.T.
Payment should be made as follows, in Cash, Cheque or Credit card.
10% of Total price excluding V.A.T. should be paid on initial order.
50% should be paid 10 days prior to hire date (this amount is non-refundable and binding due to closeness of hire).
The balance including V.A.T. must be paid in full at delivery when the hirer is satisfied with the delivered products.
2. Damage Waiver
The Hirer in event of a claim will be responsible for the first £250 of any claim, which rises to £500 to include storm damage in the months of November, December, January and February. The company has full public liability cover of £5 million.
The company offer a damage waiver facility (4% of total hire fee, excluding V.A.T.).
On payment of damage waiver we will not hold you responsible provided you can prove reasonable care has been taken to prevent damage or loss.
Security of unattended equipment is the full responsibility of the hirer especially if the site is not the hirers land, we strongly advise that the hirer arranges security for the duration of the hire as losses will not be covered by the company insurance.
3. Underground Services
It is the hirer's responsibility to provide the company with the location of any underground services (gas, water, electricity etc) that could be damaged by marquee fixing spikes. The hirer will be responsible for any costs associated with the repair to unmarked services and associated costs relating to their interruption resulting from not being identified to the company.
4. Weather
If extreme weather is forecast during the hire period we have the right to decline the erection and use of the structure (usually if gusts of over 70km per hour are forecast). This is for the safety of all concerned. Hirers will be liable for the full hire fee therefore must be aware of this possibility especially during the winter months. Additional insurance is available at the hirer's request, which will cover the cost of cancellation site changes etc (please ask for details).
5. Damage
Any equipment found damaged or missing during the hire period will be repaired or replaced at the hirer's expense. This will include any fire extinguishers which are found to have been discharged or are missing. Replacement / refill costs will be charged to the hirer.
6. Marquee Structure
When the marquee has been erected and all exits or openings agreed, this should not be altered or tampered with in any way as this may render the structure unsafe. No items or objects should be stuck to, fixed or suspended from the marquee structure or walls. If tape or pins are used, a charge will be levied for cleaning any residue.
7. Flooring or Ground
It is expected that if flooring is ordered the ground will be suitably flat to accommodate the type of floor used. The company cannot be held responsible for any uneven finish to the floor caused by pitting or bumps on the surface beneath. The hirer should arrange to level surfaces as much as possible prior to marquee erection. Grass surfaces must be cut short and the hirer prior to erection of the marquee must remove all debris including fouling by dogs.
8. Safety
For the safety of all concerned, the hirer may not enter the structure during erection. The company cannot be held responsible for any injury or damage sustained by the public in or around the marquee during the hire period.
9. Furniture
The company will place all furniture inside the completed marquee. It is the hirer's responsibility to arrange the layout of tables and chairs etc. The hirer must ensure that tables and chairs are folded and returned to the delivery area and are stacked for collection following use. A charge will be levied to the hirer for non-compliance in this instance. All furniture will be counted in and out with any shortages charged to the hirer.
10. Hirer's Responsibility
The hirer is responsible for signing a completed safety checklist after consultation with a company representative once the marquee has been installed.
The hirer will not use cooking equipment, lighting or electrical appliances or decorate the interior / exterior of the marquee without prior consent from the company.
10. Force Majeure
While every effort will be made by the company to carry out any order accepted, the full performance of it is subject to variation or cancellation by the company consequent upon acts of god, war, strikes, riots, lockouts or any other disturbances. Fire, flood, storm, gale or tempest restrictions on the use of transport, fuel or power.
