Variations

Where this is not possible the Company will notify the Client as soon as possible of any alterations to the design and specification of the Equipment and where the alteration is fundamental the Client may terminate this contract. Any Deposit paid will be refunded. 

The Price is based on the assumption that the Client provides a firm and level site of turf (or some other material not impervious to stakes and able to absorb rainwater) and is served by a firm access road adjacent to the Site with adequate hard standing for commercial vehicles, is free from flooding, trees, and overhead construction. If this is not the case or if the Client wishes the Company to erect the Equipment in a different position on the Site to the one indicated by the Client to the Company at the time of the quotation and in either event the costs to the Company are subsequently increased by reason of increase in labour costs or any other factor the Company may increase the Price in accordance with the Company’s published pricelist and hourly labour rates then in force.  

Understandings. 

The Price does not include making good any repairs to the Site unless caused by the negligence of the Company’s servants, agents, or contractors.

Once the period of seven days referred to in the preceding clause has past should either party cancel the contract compensation will be paid of 50% of the Price, save that it is cancelled within 7 days prior to the Period of Hire the compensation will be the full Price. 

If the Client cancels pursuant to the precedent clause and the Company is able to re-let the Equipment then the Client shall not pay the full cancellation charge but an administration charge based on the costs incurred by us in re-letting the Equipment which in any event shall not exceed 20% of the Price.  

Exclusion of Liability.
