Dear clients, please ensure that the terms and conditions on SP Events Pty website are read and understood before a deposit is paid, as payment will indicate that you read, understood and agreed to the terms and conditions.

Bond
The hirer will hold all bond until the safe return or pickup of all products in the same condition as were hired out to the client, minus any reasonable wear and tear.
All bonds will be returned to the client minus any fee incurred either due to late fee/extension fee and breakage/damage fee. The amount of bond held will be a minimum of $150 and, for event styling, 20% of the total amount of the product hire.

Payment
To secure the booking date for event styling or products to be hired by the client, the client agrees to place a 30% non-refundable deposit with the hirer.

Hirer
Balance for event styling is due two weeks before the event. Balance for party hire products is due one week before handing over products.

Site inspection
We charge $150 for site inspections. This amount comes off the final quote once the event is booked. This also covers us in the event you no longer go ahead and for any time lost. This amount is paid in advance.

Cancellations
All cancellations must be in writing and the date deemed received shall be accepted on the receiving of the cancellation, whether by email or post. No verbal cancellations shall be accepted, to minimise any misunderstanding.

Should the client wish to cancel this agreement five weeks or greater prior to the agreed date, the client will forfeit the deposit paid.
Should the client wish to cancel this agreement from two weeks to four weeks prior to the agreed date, the client shall forfeit to the hirer 50% of the invoice.
Should the client wish to cancel this agreement up to one week prior to the agreed date, the client shall forfeit 100% of the invoice.
Any other cancellation outside of the above agreement shall be at the discretion of the hirer.

Insurance
Once products are delivered or picked up, the client assumes all responsibilities and liabilities until they have been collected or received by the hirer.

The client is responsible for maintaining all appropriate policies of insurance, covering liability, property and casualty insurances in amounts necessary to fully protect the hirer and their products against all claims, loss or damage. The hirer is not responsible for any injuries that may occur to persons over the hire period due to any products supplied by the hirer, whether through payment or otherwise.

Wedding Styling
All weddings must be finalised four weeks before the date of the wedding. Any changes must be made in writing no later than four weeks from the date of the wedding. Last-minute changes may incur a fee if approved.

Loss or Damages
The hirer shall always own all products supplied.
All products are supplied to the client on a basis of reasonable use within the advertised context.

Should any products become lost, stolen or damaged when in possession of the client, the client shall immediately notify the hirer. The client agrees to pay for all products lost, destroyed, stolen, damaged or not returned to the hirer.

All costs paid to the hirer are based on the current pricing and availability of the products on the market. Should no equal product be found by the hirer, the client shall reimburse the hirer the cost in cash or bank transfer at the cost decided by the hirer.

All reimbursements shall be paid within 48 hours of the return due date. All products may be subject to a late fee or extension fee if overdue.

Cleaning
We ask that the client does not clean any of the products, as any damage sustained to the products due to cleaning shall be deemed according to the above Loss or Damages section.
Should any facial or cosmetic disfigurement occur during the time in which the product is in possession of the client, the hirer shall judge and charge a damage fee to the client.

Photos
The client consents to allow the hirer all advertising or an artistic showing of any photos given to the hirer, whether for profit or not.

Additional Terms

Hire Period
For all products hired out to the client, the hire period is set out as follows:

Client pickup shall occur on an agreed day (by appointment) at an agreed time at the location of the hirer. Should delivery be agreed upon by the hirer, then the hire period shall begin at the time of delivery at the location agreed by both the client and the hirer.

Drop-off will occur at the business location at an agreed time (by appointment). If the hirer has agreed to pick up products at an agreed time and location by both the hirer and the client, then “drop-off” will occur on pick-up of the products.

Should the client fail to return the products within the allocated time frame, the client will incur a late fee or extension fee, as outlined below.

Late Fee / Extension Fee
A 10% fee of the hiring cost will apply for every day the products have not been returned. This sum will be deducted from the bond received by the hirer from the client for the products. For example, a $100.00 hiring cost at 10% will result in a $10.00 late fee for every day after the drop-off date.

Hire Rates
All hiring rates are for the hiring of products only and do not include any other services.
