Conditions of Care for Hired Items
Our aim is to provide the best possible service to our customers at the lowest prices every time. This means we expect our customers to consider the following points when hired items are in their care:
Marquees
- Do not to stick, staple or otherwise fix any decorative items or promotional material that will stain, leave residue or perforate a marquee roof, wall or silk lining. Decorations such as dyed streamers, confetti etc. will leave a stain if it gets wet.
- Do not place light bulbs or other heat generating items against a marquee wall, roof or silk lining as this may cause burn/scorch marks which cannot be removed. Heater, gas or electric, are to be kept at a safe distance from the marquee roof, walls or silk linings to ensure no heat damage or fire occurs.
- Any items that have been fixed to the frame or lining of the marquee, by the hirer, are to be removed prior to the supplier arriving to pack down.
- Do not place any items on top of roof linings or against the walls.
Linen
- Be careful not to place any dyed products, candles or other product directly onto the linen cloths or serviettes that may cause possible staining. If needed place something underneath to prevent staining.
- Shake off linen cloths and serviettes prior to placing back in bag. Do not attempt to soak or launder the linen.
