• The damage deposit will be refunded in full within 7  day of the items being returned, provided:
• All items are returned in the same condition as they were delivered.
• No items are lost, stolen, or damaged.
  Items are returned on time as per the agreed schedule.

4. Deductions:

• If any items are damaged, lost, or returned late, the cost of repair, replacement, or late fees will be deducted from the deposit.
• If the cost exceeds the deposit, the hirer will be invoiced for the remaining amount.
  Damage Deposit Waiver
• For added convenience, we offer a Damage Deposit Waiver option to cover accidental damage during the rental period.

Damage Deposit Waiver

1. What the Waiver Covers:

• The waiver covers accidental damage to rented items during normal use.

2. What the Waiver Does NOT Cover:

• Loss, theft, or damage due to negligence, improper use, or failure to follow setup instructions.
• Damage caused by third parties or extreme weather conditions.

• The waiver fee is a non-refundable amount calculated as a percentage of the total rental cost. This fee will be confirmed at the time of booking.

4. Benefits of the Waiver:

• With the waiver, you are not required to pay a refundable damage deposit upfront.
• Peace of mind knowing minor accidental damage is covered.

How to Choose

1. Damage Deposit: Ideal if you prefer to pay a refundable amount upfront and are confident all items will be returned in perfect condition.
