IMPORTANT NOTICE. Provided that the equipment is used in accordance with the safety guidelines and terms and conditions of hire, those using the inflatable should do so safely. However, accidents can happen. The Company can accept no liability for injuries sustained or any other loss, howsoever caused, in the absence of the negligence of the Company or its employees. As the equipment will be in the hirers possession and control whilst in use rather than the Company, any liability for injuries or other losses caused other than in the circumstances described above rests with the hirer. Accordingly, it is strongly recommended that the hirer has adequate public liability insurance covering his or her liability arising from the use of the inflatable.
I declare that I have read, understood and accept these terms and conditions of hire, safety guidelines and any relevant operating and safety instructions supplied with this equipment, and I sign the contract fully aware of the implications and responsibilities placed upon me by doing so.
