If such fees occur, Company will communicate in writing with the Contact within five (5) business days of the Event Date for additional payment.

When moving small items such as tables/chairs and signs, items must be picked up completely when moving and not scooting across the ground to prevent breaking or damage.

Client hereby assumes full responsibility for any risk of bodily injury, death or property damage arising out of or related to Company Rental Item(s) whether caused by the negligence of client or otherwise. Any dispute or litigation under the terms of this Agreement will be brought to New Plymouth, but before such litigation the parties agree to professional dispute resolution including mediation.
  10. Protocols in Event of Health Pandemic or State Of Emergency; The Parties agree that no performance will be required of either Party that would knowingly run counter to any laws, health and safety regulations, directives, or executive orders. If, during the Term of this Agreement, any Health Pandemic, as defined by the MOH guidelines ("Health Pandemic") arises, and Company deems providing the duties under this Agreement would put the Client(s), other companies, Company staff or personnel at risk, it is in the sole exclusive discretion Company as to whether or not the services (2. Delivery Services Provided by Company) must be cancelled or postponed. In the event Company does deem a cancellation or postponement due to a Health Pandemic, no monies paid to Company shall be refunded. However Company shall provide the Client(s) with available option(s) for a date transfer as soon as is reasonably practical. Date transfers will be offered for packages at an equal or lesser cost than the original package amount under this Agreement. The Parties agree that, due to the extreme and sometimes sudden circumstances that health pandemic would create, a date transfer option allows Company and the Client(s) to reach a mutually conducive solution that will serve as an exception to the thirty (30) days requirement for cancellation or postponement, as enumerated in section four (4) herein. If the Client(s) chooses a larger package at the time of rescheduling or thereafter, Company will calculate the difference of the originally agreed-upon package and new package prices as defined by Company’s pricing schedule at the time of the rescheduled event.
