About this agreement
These are terms and conditions for the hire of products to businesses or consumers. They are intended to be sent out with a quotation or placed on your counter, ready for a customer to sign. You can also adapt them for use on your website.
We use audio-visual equipment as the example type of product that you might be hiring out. However, the document could be used for any type of equipment or product, from vintage clothing to machine diagnostic tools.
You might rent the equipment on a short-term basis while you are not using it, or you may be in the business of hire.
The benefit of clear terms
Our use of plain English makes this document easy to edit to match your business model, without having to be your own solicitor.
T&C are probably the best example of a legal document where use of plain English strengthens the legal effect. If a dispute should arise, it would be hard for a hirer to claim that he did not understand, even if English is not his first language.
Using this professionally drawn document will give you the confidence to know that your valuable goods have the best possible legal protection.
