Equipment hire
Hire terms
These terms apply to equipment hired from Choice Carpentry & Maintenance. Please read them before sending a hire request.
Collection address: 6 Lomandra Street, Boyne Island, QLD. A valid photo ID, payment and the $100 security-bond authorisation are required before collection.
- Availability and booking. A hire request is not a confirmed booking. We will confirm availability by email before sending a secure payment link. Equipment is not reserved until hire payment and the bond authorisation have been completed.
- Hire period. Day and weekend hire periods are agreed in the booking confirmation. Weekend hires are collected Friday afternoon and returned Monday morning unless we confirm another arrangement in writing.
- Hire charges. The hire charge is paid in advance by Stripe and is not refundable once the equipment has been collected, except where required by law or agreed by us in writing.
- Security bond. A $100 security-bond authorisation is placed on the hirer's card before collection. It is released after the equipment has been returned, inspected and found to be in the condition supplied, allowing for ordinary wear and tear.
- Damage, loss and cleaning. The hirer is responsible for loss, theft, damage, misuse, excessive wear, missing accessories, late return, and cleaning or refuelling costs. We may capture all or part of the bond to cover reasonable documented costs. If costs exceed the bond, we will contact the hirer before seeking any further payment.
- Safe use. Equipment must only be used by a competent adult in accordance with manufacturer instructions and all applicable safety requirements. Required personal protective equipment must be used. Equipment must not be modified, sub-hired or used for an unlawful purpose.
- Collection and return. Equipment must be collected and returned at the agreed times. Please bring photo ID at collection. Equipment must be returned clean and fuelled where applicable.
- Late return. Contact us as soon as possible if you need to extend the hire. Additional hire charges may apply and must be approved before the original return time.
- Cancellations. Contact us promptly if you need to cancel. Any refund of a prepaid hire charge is at our discretion unless otherwise required by law.
- Contact. For questions, extensions or return issues, call 0416 525 968 or email choicecarpentrym@gmail.com.
