The Legal Risk Score of a Equipment Hire Agreement Template is Low
Our legal team have marked this document as low risk considering:
- The document places the responsibility for any damage, loss, or necessary repairs of the equipment on the user during the rental period, which could lead to significant unexpected costs if any issues arise.
- Users are required to comply with all applicable laws, manufacturer's recommendations, and health and safety regulations when using the equipment, which adds a layer of diligence and potential liability.
- The agreement stipulates that the user must return the equipment thoroughly cleaned and in the same condition as when hired, failing which they will incur additional costs.
