Damage or Loss Charges

Equipment Damage and Loss Charges


While our  equipment is in your care, there are unforeseeable and unintentional accidents that can happen (e.g. loss, missing components, swapping, burnout, dents, breakage, corrosion, deformation, malfunction of electric goods, etc.) leading us to replace the equipment.  Therefore, during the booking process customers agree to be responsible for equipment recovery. When the unfortunate happens, we first of all give the customer a chance to physically replace the equipment.  However, we do not accept replica items, only the brands we use as they are strong, durable and fit for commercial use.
