  14. LIABILITY

    Please note: This section applies only if you are a Consumer.

    1. We are responsible for loss or damage only that is a foreseeable result of a breach of the Contract. Such loss and damage is only foreseeable if it is obvious or if at the time that you and we entered into the Contract you and we both knew it might happen.
    2. We do not exclude in any way our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or that of our employees, agents or subcontractors, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for defective products under the Consumer Protection Act1987.
    3. You accept that when we are delivering and siting the Equipment, that some small amount of damage may be caused to the Site upon which the Equipment is erected as well as the surrounding area. We will do our best to limit this damage but cannot be responsible for the same. In addition, we are not responsible for the cost of repairing any pre-existing faults or damage to the Site, your property or that of any third party.
    4. The Equipment is hired to you for domestic and private use only. If you use the Equipment for any commercial or business purpose we have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.
  15. OTHER TERMS
    1. We may transfer our rights and obligations under the Contract to another organisation. We will always tell you in writing if this happens and we will ensure that the transfer will not affect your rights.
    2. You need our consent to transfer your rights to someone else. You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these terms to another person if we agree to this in writing.
    3. Nobody else has any rights under the Contract. The Contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its Terms. Neither of us will need to get the agreement of any other person in order to end the Contract or make any changes to these terms.
    4. If a court finds part of these Terms is illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the paragraphs of these Terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.
    5. Even if we delay in enforcing the Contract, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these Terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking the Contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date.
    6. These Terms and the Contract are governed by English law. You can bring legal proceedings in the English courts, although if you live in Scotland you can bring legal proceedings in either the Scottish or the English courts, and if you live in Northern Ireland you can bring legal proceedings in either the Northern Irish or the English courts.
    7. These terms as well as any written correspondence from us to you, including an Order, delivery note, invoice, letter from or email, shall comprise the Contract. No verbal representations by us or our representatives shall be included within the Contract. In the case of conflicting information, the most recent shall take president.
    8. All data, information, drawings and correspondence from us in relation to the Contract, Hire and Order shall remain confidential and not be disclosed to any third party without our prior written consent. Likewise, any information received from you such as event details, Site Plans and correspondence relating to the event shall be stored and accessed in line with GDPR and not disclosed to any third party except in the execution of our Contract, such as the Site address for deliveries.
    9. Any quotations, Site Plan amendments, drawings, designs and specifications shall remain our intellectual property and not be used or disclosed without our consent either with or without an Order.
