AGREEMENT TO HIRE

The hiring of the Hire Items is confirmed once you have executed the Agreement.
However, where you fail to execute the Agreement but proceed to instruct us or
pay the Booking Fee in Clause 2, you accept this Agreement.
The cost of the Hire Items and related Services will be provided to you in the
invoice. The Invoice will specify the Hire Items, the Price of the Hire Items and
any services provided (“Services”), the scheduled date for delivery and
installation of the Hire Items (“Delivery Date”) and the date we will collect all Hire
Items from you (“Collection Date”).
This Agreement and its Schedules will constitute the entire agreement between
