Warehouse Sound Systems Pty Ltd offers to rent sound, lighting and staging equipment equipment under the following terms and conditions:

Rental Agreement

When you accept delivery of equipment we require you to enter into a binding Rental Agreement.

As signatory to the agreement you agree to accept responsibility for the safe keeping of the equipment, its complete return and for payment of all rental fees and damages.

The signatory to the agreement accepts these responsibilities, regardless of whether the rental is for personal use, or for another person or on behalf of a business or incorporated entity.

Please read both sides of the Rental Agreement before you sign your acceptance of the terms and conditions.

Rental Period

The rental period commences at 12:00 midday on the first day of rental and terminates at 12:00 midday after the equipment is returned.

If equipment is required prior to 12:00 midday, the rental period shall commence at midday the previous day, to guarantee availability.

When equipment is returned later than agreed, and causes loss of subsequent days' rental, Warehouse Sound Systems may, at its absolute discretion, charge a penalty rental fee twice the normal daily rate, for each additional day or part thereof.

Registration Form

For the first rental transaction, we request you complete our Registration Form presenting your personal details and names of trade and/or personal referees.

Identity Verification

When picking up or taking delivery of equipment, we require the following identity verifications:

  • Payment by EFTPOS with a PIN number
  • Photographic ID such as current Drivers license with photo, name and address
  • Bank statement or utility bill confirming name and address

Rental Payments

Payment for rental shall be made in advance, by electronic funds transfer requiring a PIN number.

For monthly rental agreements, payment shall be made monthly in advance.

Rental Payments by Cheque

Customers who wish represent a corporate entity are required to fill out and present our Trade Account Application, guaranteeing the performance of the corporate entity.

Security Deposit

A security bond equal to the rental fee shall be lodged in cash prior to delivery or pickup of the equipment

For monthly rental agreements, the security deposit will equal the rental fee for one month.

The security deposit will be refunded at the conclusion of the rental period, after the following amounts have been deducted:

  • Replacement cost for missing equipment
  • Cost of repairs in excess of fair wear and tear
  • Additional rental fees due to late return

Insurance

The hirer shall be responsible for comprehensively insuring the equipment, nominating Warehouse Sound Systems Pty Ltd as the owner of the equipment.

Our equipment is insured against accidental damage during transportation. This insurance policy is similar to motor vehicle insurance and the underwriters will seek to recover damages from any responsible party, including the driver of the vehicle or the hirer. To satisfy our insurer's conditions we are required to record the following details on the Rental Agreement:

  • Drivers license with photo-ID number and expiry date
  • Registration number and expiry date of vehicle in which the equipment is being transported.
  • Address of the destination to which the equipment is being transported to.

Disclaimer - Suitability of Equipment

Warehouse Sound Systems Pty Ltd does not accept responsibility for customers' skill or ability to operate the equipment, nor can we reasonably predict the suitability of any piece of equipment for any particular application.

The equipment is intended for use by professional engineers, musicians, performers, turntablists, and DJ's, and some technical experience is required to operate the equipment successfully.

Facilities are provided at our premises for customers to test and check every item before delivery. Our staff will demonstrate setup and operation, and provide user manuals on request.

Once equipment has been delivered to the hirer, no refund will be made on the basis that all or part of the equipment was not used or not able to be operated.

We offer long term rental agreements, incorporating on-site maintenance. Please view our Long Term Rental Terms of Service.
