TERMS & CONDITIONS: CHINA/CROCKERY, GLASSWARE & CUTLERY Deposits: A deposit of £50 is required to secure a booking and can be made by bank transfer, cash or cheque (payable to J Wilde). The balance is required one calendar month before the booked date, along with a returnable Breakages/Loss Deposit of £100. If the total order is under £50, or if the order is placed less than 4 weeks before the event, then the full order total plus the Breakages/Loss Deposit is payable at the time of booking. Hire Period: The hire period covers three days, allowing one day for delivery and setting up (if necessary/required), one day for the event and one for returns/collection. However, we are flexible so don't worry if that is going to be a problem. Damage/Loss: Accidents do happen, so please let us know of any damage or missing items and keep and return all broken pieces so that we can update our stock list. Please remember that the china is your responsibility during the period of hire and although verbal or written instructions will be given for repacking, it is the responsibility of the hirer to ensure that whoever does the repacking does so with due care. All items are hired to the customer who placed the booking, not the venue or caterers or any other third party. The Breakages/Damage/Loss Deposit will be refunded within 14 days of the finish of the hire period. We will only deduct for excessive breakages/damage and for loss, as we realise that being vintage the china is more delicate than modern pieces (also see information about breakages/damage to, or loss of, props). There are exceptions to this as some items, particularly tea pots are difficult to replace and these will be charged 7 (seven) times the hire price. In the event of excessive breakages/damage or loss of all other items of china, glassware and cutlery, the amount charged will be 5 (five) times the hire price. For details of our individual hire prices please see our website at: www.wildeandromantic.co.uk. The hirer will be informed in advance of any deductions for breakage/damage or loss. Any china, glassware and cutlery items listed as Free of Charge will be charged, in the event of loss, breakage or damage, at a flat rate of £2 per item. Care of Items and Washing Up: Please do not place any item in a dishwasher, microwave or oven. Please do not wash-up any items, but where possible remove liquid and any waste food and place items in the storage boxes provided. Washing up is included in the hire price and this is done by hand. Liability: The china should not be loaned to a third party, no responsibility can be accepted for any injury or damage caused by hire goods, however caused, and all goods remain the property of 'Wilde & Romantic'.
