Wet & Dry Hire Agreements usually contain clauses that outline the following: description of goods, payment, dispute resolution processes, customer obligations, liability, term of hire, and what happens with damaged goods. Also, this document will usually contain a cover page where the hirer can fill out all the hiree details (including name, address and term of hire); viewable alongside the attached T&Cs. Having a properly drafted Wet and Dry Hire Agreement is essential for protecting your rights, limiting your liability and avoiding unnecessary disputes. In particular, it’s really useful because of its ‘damaged goods clause’, which states that the hiree will be responsible for repairing any damaged equipment or machinery. It’s important to seek legal assistance when preparing a Wet and Dry Hire Agreement to ensure all these key components are properly captured.
