Key equipment hire terms
This section is a plain English summary only, written to help it make sense, not to replace it. The complete documents above form the contract.
Payment and bond
Hire fees must be paid before collection or dispatch unless we've approved account terms. A security bond or card hold applies. The minimum is $200 and may increase with the booking value and risk.
Change of mind cancellations
48 hours or less: no refund. More than 48 hours but less than 15 days: 50% refund. 15 days or more: full refund. Approved non recoverable third party costs remain payable.
Responsibility
The customer is responsible for the equipment from handover until we receive and check it back in, except for fair wear and tear or loss or damage caused by us or a carrier we're responsible for.
Returns
Every item, case, cable and accessory must be returned on time, clean, dry, correctly packed and in the condition supplied, allowing for fair wear and tear. Late return, cleaning, repacking, missing item, repair and replacement charges may apply.
Optional Damage Waiver
The Damage Waiver costs 10% of the equipment hire subtotal, minimum $25 plus GST. For covered sudden and accidental physical damage, liability is capped at the lower of the reasonable repair or replacement cost and $1,000 per separate incident. Not insurance, exclusions apply.
Safe use
Only competent and authorised people may use the equipment. It must not be sub hired, altered, repaired, relocated or used for an unlawful, unsafe or unintended purpose without written approval.
Australian Consumer Law
Nothing in the Creative Kicks terms excludes, restricts or modifies a consumer guarantee, right or remedy that can't legally be excluded, restricted or modified. That's not us being generous, it's the law, and it stands regardless of anything else on this page.
Any statement about no refunds, exclusions, waivers, limitations, time limits or remedies remains subject to those rights.
