Contact of hire

These terms form part of the hirer’s “contract of hire” with the Company. By signing the “contract of hire” the Hirer agrees to be bound by these terms.

Booking

Your booking is confirmed once you have signed and returned your contract and your deposit has been received.

Period of hire

The period of hire is the period which the tentage or equipment is required to be ready and available for use.

Site

All bookings are subject to a site visit to determine that the site is, sufficiently level, and is firm ground, with access for motor transport and that no drainage, electric cables or other services are buried beneath the surface or overhead. The hire charges do not include any making good or repairing of damage to site. The Hirer or a representative is requested to attend site to confirm the position in which the tents or equipment are to be erected. Otherwise, the contract shall be deemed to have been completed once the Company has positioned the tentage or equipment as it sees fit.

Wind

If on hot days the Hirer wishes to roll up or fold back the marquee walls, then before leaving the marquee unattended or in the event of high winds, the walls must be put back securely (including re-attaching the securing loops to the tent pegs at the base of the walls).

A deposit of 25% the total value of the hire is payable on booking and the balance is due one month before the period of hire commences. Payments can be made by BACS, cheque or in cash.

Loss or damage

During the period of hire, the Hirer shall assume responsibility for the safe custody of, and all damage to, the equipment during the period of hire.

Smoking policy

Please note we operate a strict no smoking policy within all the Company’s marquees.

Health & safety

There is a high incidence of trips and slips in respect to dance floors. Therefore, please be aware that you, the Hirer, must take responsibility to clean any drinks spilt or remove/ correct any tripping hazards during the rental period. It is the Hirer’s responsibility to supply any firefighting equipment & emergency exit signs that may be required. Ohana Marquees can facilitate this if requested and this will be added to the booking form.

Ohana Marquees are a temporary structure and must be treated as such. The marquee should be vacated in the event of excessive wind conditions, lightening and/or the first sign of instability.
