The Legal Risk Score of a Goods Hire Agreement Template is Low
Our legal team have marked this document as low risk considering:
- The document stipulates that the Hirer is responsible for any loss or damage to the goods during the hire period, which could impose significant financial liability if unexpected incidents occur.
- The agreement makes it clear that the Hirer must comply with all applicable taxes and fees related to the use of the goods, which could lead to additional financial burdens if not properly managed.
- The Hirer is required to return the goods in the same condition and level of cleanliness as received, failing which they must bear the costs for cleaning or repair, potentially adding unforeseen expenses.
