Terms &
Conditions.

1. Prices & Quantities

All prices and quantities are subject to change without notice and are only guaranteed once an order is accepted and deposit paid.

2. Hire Agreement

Eastco CC (“the owner”) rents out equipment to the customer under these terms. Both parties choose their listed addresses for official notices.

3. Payment & Deposits

Hire charges and deposits must be paid in cash on delivery unless otherwise agreed. Deposits (less a 10% banking fee if paid into an account) and any deductions will be refunded within a reasonable time after return or collection. Any billing disputes must be made in writing within 3 days of the invoice date.

4. Hire Period

The hire period starts upon delivery or collection and ends when the owner accepts the equipment back. Late returns are charged at the daily rate plus travel fees if collected by the owner. Timely delivery is not guaranteed, and the owner is not liable for delay.

5. Equipment Condition

Equipment is considered correct, clean and in good working order upon delivery unless issues are reported immediately. If faulty, the owner may either replace, repair, or cancel and refund the hire.

6. Equipment Care & Return

The customer must store equipment in a dry, covered area and report malfunctions immediately. Repairs due to misuse are charged to the customer. Equipment must be returned clean and in good condition. Unwashed items may attract a cleaning fee, while stains beyond regular washing may incur dry cleaning or replacement charges. Wet linen must not be put in a bag to avoid mould. Tulle runners must be returned in good condition. Lost or damaged items are charged at full replacement cost. Equipment may not be swapped with substitutes. If items are not checked on return with the owner's representative, the owner's count is final.

7. Use of Equipment

Equipment must only be used as intended and at the customer's own risk. Eastco is not liable for injuries, damages or losses caused by the use or malfunction of the equipment. The customer indemnifies Eastco against all related claims and legal costs.

8. Cancellations

All cancellations must be in writing and acknowledged by Eastco. A 10% cancellation fee applies to paid bookings. Weather-related cancellations are not exempt from this policy. At Eastco's discretion, payments may be transferred to a new date, subject to availability.
