Standard arrangements when hiring any form of equipment is that the client is fully responsible for all loss or damage. With the value of our equipment on most jobs extending to many tens of thousands of pounds it is, of course, important that the equipment is properly insured.

Clients are welcome to arrange their own insurance but it is not always easy or cost effective for them to do so. In these cases we can offer a Damage Waiver in exchange for a fee (calculated as a percentage of the equipment hire charge). Depending on the site (for example if the site is accessible by the public) we may require special security arrangements to be in place.

The Damage Waiver means that The Stunning Tents Company takes the risk of loss or damage to the equipment whilst it is in the client’s care, except that the client remains responsible for:

• a) the first £500 of any loss or damage
• b) any loss or damage caused by the client’s negligence or legal liability
• c) any loss or damage caused by the client’s failure to adhere to any special security arrangements that have been agreed.
