Terms & Conditions for Hire Products

DEFINITIONS

1. In these conditions:
   1. The “Owner” is Pixie Party Supplies Limited
   2. The “Hirer” refers to the person or business hiring equipment from the Owner.
   3. The “Equipment” means all the equipment and accessories supplied to the Hirer.

FEES and CHARGES

1. Amount quoted is for one use of the Equipment only – for the noted hiring term. The Hirer agrees that all charges for hire loss, hire extension, damage and repair will be paid and that all collection fees, legal fees or any expenses involved in the collection of these charges will be borne by the Hirer.
2. Prices quoted are for hire only. Delivery fees are additional.
3. All prices quoted are in New Zealand Dollars (NZD).
4. A 50% deposit is required at point of booking to secure the booking. The balance of the hire price is payable before the commencement of the hire. The deposit payment forms part of the total payment due for the hire and is different from the bond payment.
5. A bond is payable in addition to the hire price.
   1. Bonds will usually be returned within 5 working days of the Equipment being returned in good order and working condition.  If hire products are returned damaged we may require additional time to obtain quotes for repairs/ replacing – if this is the case we will communicate this to the hirer within 5 working days.
   2. If the Equipment is returned unclean, or with damage, missing items, or stains, the bond will be retained by the Owner. If tablecloths, chair covers, or other materials have stains from red wine, candle wax, or other permanent markings, the applicable cleaning fee will be equal to the replacement costs plus any additional costs the Owner may incur. Damage or loss may also incur additional charges.
   3. Bonds will be returned in the same way they were paid. Bonds will only be returned in cash if they have been paid in cash. Bonds will only be returned to the debit or credit card that they were paid from. The card holder details (name, address, phone number, ID details & card details) must be recorded on the hire form and the card holder must sign to accept all terms & conditions.
6. Equipment returned late will incur additional charges.
7. If the Hirer, for any reason, terminates a booked hire, then the following fees will apply:
   1. If cancelled within 5 days of hire commencement date – 10% of total invoice value not refunded
   2. If cancelled within 36 hours of hire commencement date – 25% of total invoice value not refunded
   3. In any circumstances where cancellation occurs and the Owner has incurred additional costs such as loading of vehicles, transportation of equipment, or utilization of labour, then additional fees may also be incurred by the Hirer.

LIABILITY and INDEMNITY

9. The Hirer is responsible for the Equipment from the time of collection and shall pay for all Equipment damage or lost however caused during that period.
10. The Hirer is responsible for the insurance of Equipment for the period of hire including where the customer transports to and from the premises of the Owner. The Hirer shall indemnify the Owner against any damage or loss or from theft which may occur whilst the equipment is in the care of the Hirer.
11. The Hirer shall maintain at its expense liability, property and casualty insurance coverage in amount necessary to fully protect the Owner and its Equipment against all claims, loss or damage of whatever nature or type.

15. If the Hirer finds that the Equipment is not in working order or finds any fault with the Equipment, where possible they must notify the Owner immediately.  If the Owner is only notified at the completion of the intended hire period, then the Owner is not liable for any compensation to the Hirer.
16. The person signing the documents for and on behalf of the Hirer hereby covenants with the Owner that he or she has the authority of the Hirer to make this agreement on the Hirer’s behalf and is empowered by the Hirer to bind the Hirer to this agreements and hereby indemnifies the Owner against all losses and cost incurred by the Owner arising out of the person signing this agreement failing to have such power and/or authority.
17. Where the Hirer is more than one person liability shall be joint and several.
18. By making a booking through confirming a quote via signature, deposit payment or remittance of funds, the Hirer acknowledges and agrees to the Owner’s Terms and Conditions. If, for any reason, the Hirer has not acknowledged these terms and conditions by signing the face of this hire agreement, by accepting the Equipment for hire from the Owner the Hirer will have deemed to have accepted the terms and conditions of hire.
19. The Hirer shall not sublet the equipment to any other person without permission from the Owner, but this shall not prevent employees of the Hirer using the equipment in conformity with this agreement. Where permission has been granted by the Owner to the Hirer to sublet the Equipment, this agreement is still deemed as being between the named Hirer and the Owner and all terms & conditions still apply.
20. The Owner may terminate the hire at any time without providing any reason for so doing, either verbally or in writing.  The Owner will not be responsible to the Hirer for any loss they may claim to have suffered in respect of such termination.
