Until the booking form and the Terms and Conditions Agreement (signed or virtually signed by the Client) and deposit is received back to the Company then no booking will be deemed to have been made.

The balance is payable ONE full calendar month before the event date. If a booking is cancelled more than three months in advance then no more is payable but the deposit will not be refunded, if a booking is cancelled within three
months then see the cancellation terms below, paragraph 5. These monies can be used against a future booking with The Company within 12 months if the event is only postponed.

6. Delivery / Collection of Hire Goods: Glass products CANNOT BE COURIERED and are hired on a collection basis only if supplied as DIY hire. If glassware is booked along with other goods and venue dressing services where the Company will be setting up and attending the event, glassware can be delivered to the event along with all other hired products and services, this will be clearly stated on the Client’s booking form and all details agreed by both the Client
and Company.

7. Courier Collections Returns: All hire goods suitable for courier delivery must be organised by the Client. Any courier company used by the Client must be guaranteed, insured and have a tracking number. Goods are to be booked on a next day courier service and notice given to the Company of the date of courier collection and return. See paragraph 3. Hire Period for the available collection and return times. Couriered returns from the Client must reach the Company
by the 6th day of hire. In the event of delays in transit proof of dispatch will be required in order to levy any charges for late return of goods. The Client understands that hired goods are sent by courier at their own risk, therefore any loss or damages to the hired goods caused in transit are charged at the full retail value. All items received back via an independent courier will be checked whilst in the presence of the courier driver. Any breakages will be noted as such
at that time on the manifest and charged accordingly. All disputes and/or claims regarding loss or damage of hire goods in transit remain between the Client and the Courier Company used by the Client.

8. Liability: The Client is solely responsible for the Hired Goods not the reception / event venue / hotel / florist or any other third party to whom the Client has entrusted the Hire Goods. The Client alone shall be responsible for ensuring the Hired Goods are kept in good order from the time of despatch from the Company until back into the possession of the Company. Therefore, if the Client intends to leave Hired Goods anywhere other than in the Client’s possession before or after the event an agreement of a good provision of storage must be made and organised direct with the hotel or third party by the Client and does so at their own risk.

If the Client intends to leave directly after the event finishes e.g. Honeymoon, the Client must organize the take down, re-packaging and return of all hired goods prior to the event, nominating a third party to act on their behalf, the contact
names, addresses and telephone numbers should be made known the Company so that the goods can be located after the event. The Client will still be fully responsible for the hired goods even when dealt with by a third party.

9. Wear & Tear: The Client understands that The Company’s items are in good working order but are not in “as new” condition. The Client and/or their nominated third party will be asked to sign the terms and conditions before leaving The Company’s property. Once the hired items have left The Company’s premises we deem the hire period to have begun and the hire items satisfactory and fit for purpose. We will NOT entertain complaints made after the items have been returned.

10. Collections: Collections must be inspected at the Company’s premises; hired goods must be checked against the booking form before being taken. The hire goods stated on the booking confirmation will be prepared, cleaned and checked by the Company, but it is the responsibility for the Client to check the items on the order as any shortages, breakages or incorrect items cannot be clarified or rectified after the Client has left the premises with the goods. The Company will not be liable after this time and no refunds will be given if the notification time is not adhered to.

11. Packaging: All goods are provided packaged in boxes / bags. Therefore all goods must be re-packaged in THE ORIGINAL PACKAGING provided ready for collection / return. A charge will be made for non-return or damage of original boxes and packaging usually around £20-£30 per box. This covers the cost of the Company having to get boxes specially made to be able to store and re-hire these items.

12. Candelabras: Wire must not be used as it will scratch the Candelabras. Candelabras can be returned dirty with any wax residue that may have occurred during the event, DO NOT SCRATCH WAX OFF CANDELABRAS WITH ANY TOOLS OR IMPLEMENTS – this will scratch the candelabras if you must, only use boiling hot water to remove wax.

13. Feather Centrepieces: Feather centrepieces are supplied by the Company in a set package consisting of 20 feathers, 80cm glass lily vase, crystal gel, E’luminator LED uplighter base, foam holder with cup, weight and 1 submersible floralyte. This makes up one centrepiece, therefore ALL these items need be returned to the Company in their entirety.

Any missing or damaged feathers are charged at £5 each to replace if feathers are found to be missing upon breakdown of the event or on return to the shop if hired on a DIY basis. The Client is responsible for the feathers after the Company
has left the venue / site after an on-site set up prior to the event, during the event and after the event, until the hired goods are back in the Company’s possession. The Client must ensure guests and/or staff do not dismantle the
centrepiece or take any part or all of the centrepiece off the event venue site. The feather centrepieces are priced for HIRE only and not for purchase.

14. Glassware: Glassware must be handled with care; vases should not be lifted by the lip of the vase but with two hands at the base. Hired glassware is the responsibility of the Client from the time the hired items leave the premises of the Company until it is returned back to the Company; therefore glassware in transit is still the responsibility of the Client.

If the Company has delivered and provided glassware direct to a venue or household the Client is responsible for the goods after delivery and set up by the Company until the hired goods have been collected from the venue or household by the Company. The Company will not accept the any other glassware product that is not stated on the booking confirmation as a replacement of any damaged hired glassware.

15. Candles: Dress It Yourself Ltd and its associated companies does not take responsibility for any damage or fire caused by candles provided for any hire bookings, candles sold or provided for an on-site set up, permission must be sought
by the Client from the venue to use candles. Candles must not be left unattended and should be extinguished at the end of the evening.

16. Backdrops / Draping: Damage to the backdrops such as rips and tears will result in a full replacement of the section damaged. Excessive stains from food or drinks will be subject to a cleaning fee of £100, should any stains not come out of the backdrop curtains after cleaning, a fee to replace the curtain will result up to the value of that section, in the event of this occurring, an invoice from the supplier will be provided for the cost of replacement and the damaged curtain will be available for inspection by the Client. The same applies for the plain draping and swaging. Non-return of backdrops will result in a replacement charge of £500 for 3m x 3m section.

The Company will take details of the Client’s credit or debit card and a pre-authorisation fee on the Client’s credit card to cover any costs incurred due to damage or non-returns. Hired goods will be checked upon return and a charge will be made from the given credit or debit card the same day for any non-returns or damages of hired goods found at that time.

All packaging, bags and boxes MUST be kept and returned in good condition. The loss / damage of these boxes will incur a replacement charge, usually around £20-£30 per box. This covers the cost of the Company having to get boxes specially made to be able to store and re-hire these items.

20. Collections: Collections must be inspected at the Company’s premises; hired goods must be checked against the booking form before being taken.
