Hire Terms & Conditions

(effective from 2024-11-03)

1. The Hirer is solely responsible for the hired kit while it is under their care. This includes transportation and storage until the Technical Hires and Equipment Manager has signed off on the successful return of the kit. This is NOT when the kit is returned to the College. Trevelyan JCR accepts no liability for kit out on hire.
2. Trevelyan College is not responsible or liable in the event of any noise complaints from use of the equipment or any other form of issue arising from the use of the equipment.
3. In the event of breakage, damage, loss or other such acts that render the equipment unusable or damaged in any way, the Hirer is responsible for the replacement of the equipment or monetary value of replacing the equipment. The Hirer has 14 days to implement this.
4. All cables must be returned neatly coiled and secured with LX tape where Velcro fasteners are not fitted. All cables must be cleared of any securing devices, materials or residues such as gaffer tape or similar.
   
5. Kit must be returned by the time and date agreed upon collection with a member of Trevs Technical Committee.
1. Late collections and returns (more than 15 minutes past the deadline) may be fined. If you are unable to make an allotted time, contact the Technical Hires and Equipment Manager at least one hour before the agreed deadline, and an alternative time may be arranged if possible.
2. Equipment must not be left unattended: if the hire is returned early, the hirer must remain with them until a member of Trevs Technical Comittee is present. Failure to do this may result in a fine of 25% of the hire cost.
   
6. All payment for the hire must be made within 14 calendar days of the VAT invoice date. A VAT invoice will be issued upon the full return of the equipment. Beyond this time period, fines may be incurred at a rate of 50% of the total hire cost per week. Frequent late payments may result in an increased fine.
7. Payment should be made by cheque to "DU Trevelyan College JCR" given to a member of Trevelyan College Technical Committee, or by bank transfer as specified on the VAT invoice. The payee must also notify the committee when the invoice has been paid.
8. Note that Durham Student Organisations are not required to pay VAT. Please notify the hires manager if this is the case.
   
9. A minimum of 7 days' notice is required for any hire. Late Notice Fees may apply.
10. Trevs Tech reserves the right to deny any hire.
