4.5 Delivery and returns 

The Equipment is only available for hire in nominated states within Australia. 

All Equipment will be delivered to You and returned to Us by a third-party delivery service.   

The third-party responsible for the delivery of the Equipment is not Our employee or agent, and We are not liable for any loss, damage, expenses caused by that third party. You are responsible for all costs associated with the delivery and return of the Equipment, including freight, insurance and other charges arising from the date of dispatch of the Equipment to the point of delivery. 

Any period or date of delivery of the Equipment is an estimate only and is not a contractual commitment. We will use reasonable endeavours to meet any estimated date for the delivery of the Equipment but will not be liable for any loss or damage suffered by You for failure to meet that estimated date. 

The third party responsible for the delivery of the Equipment will deliver the Equipment to a delivery point outside of your premises.  We aim to deliver products to you at the place of delivery requested by You within the time indicated by Us.  

We may aim to let You know if we expect to be unable to meet our estimated delivery date, but, to the full extent permitted by law, We will not be liable to You for any losses, liabilities, costs, damages, charges or expenses arising out of late delivery. 

You must ensure that you are able to take delivery of the Equipment without undue delay and at any time reasonably specified by Us. If You are not, the couriers may leave a card giving You instructions on either re-delivery or collection from the third-party carrier. If delivery or collection is delayed through Your unreasonable refusal to accept delivery or if You do not (within two weeks of Our first attempt to deliver the Equipment to You) accept delivery or collect the Equipment from the carrier, then We may (without affecting any other right or remedy available to Us) do either or both of the following: 

charge You for our storage fee and other costs reasonably incurred by Us; or

no longer make the Equipment available for delivery or collection and notify You that We are cancelling the applicable contract, in which case we will refund to You or Your credit or debit card company (as applicable) any money paid to Us, less our reasonable administration charges (including 

for attempting to deliver and then returning the Equipment, and any storage fees as provided for above).

Please note that it might not be possible for Us to deliver to some locations. If this is the case, we will inform You and arrange for cancellation of the applicable contract or delivery to an alternative delivery address. 

Unless otherwise specified in writing, all risk in the Equipment shall pass to You upon delivery.
