TERMS
AND CONDITIONS OF BUSINESS
The
T-4-3 Triplet Hire Company Ltd., has full public liability
insurance (details available on request), but WE
STRONGLY ADVISE
anyone wishing to hire and / or ride our machines, to
contact their chosen charity, household or travel insurers etc.,
to formally explain their hire plans and ensure all likely
riders are fully covered for personal or third-party risks etc.,
during the period of hire.
When you hire a triplet or bicycle (referred to
as ‘machine’ from now on) from T-4-3 Triplet Hire Ltd., you
agree to:
-
Be
fully responsible for the machine and any parts or
accessories, such as padlocks, lights, toolkit, puncture
kit, elastic ropes, panniers etc., if provided, while they
are in your possession during the period of hire.
-
Be
fully responsible for the full cost of any repair or
replacement of the machine, parts or accessories required as a result of damage or theft.
-
To
make sure the machine is kept in good condition during the
hire period. (You are not responsible for damage due to parts failure).
-
To
return the machine to us (if convenient) for repair or, if
necessary (and with our prior permission) conduct small
temporary repairs or minor adjustment yourself.
-
Take
the machine to a cycle shop as soon as is practicable, to
have any temporary repairs checked and / or made good. Take
the machine to a cycle shop (with our prior permission) if a
major repair is needed.
-
Use
the machine within the constraints of the law and be

agreed period of hire.

all or part of your deposit if you break our agreements.
-
Ensure

all times.

(There is no shame in getting off and pushing the machine up
a hill. Also, it is better to be safe than sorry and walk
the machine down
hills if the gradient, road surface or bends in the road
look like they could be dangerous.
|
Recklessness:
If
damage is caused to a triplet as a result of recklessness or
careless riding, the hirer will lose all, or a proportion of their
deposit. The amount of deposit forfeited will depend on how
serious the damage is, how much it costs to repair and how long
the machine is off-the-road, unable
to be hired out until mended.
Alcohol
and drugs:
Almost
certain insurance invalidation and deposit forfeiture will result
if the triplet is involved in an accident and /or damaged while
the riders are found to have been drinking alcohol and / or taking
drugs.
Non-authorised
riders:
Hirers
must not
allow strangers, un-named or unauthorised riders to ride or be
carried on our machines during the
period of hire. Almost certain insurance invalidation and deposit
forfeiture will result if the triplet is involved in an accident
while it is being ridden by anyone, or carrying anyone other than
those authorised under our terms of business and hire agreement. Hirers
must gently but firmly resist the ‘pester power’ of onlookers
asking for a ride.
