Section 1: Standard Conditions

​

1. Basis of Sale and Hire

Quotations are valid for 20 Business Days unless stated otherwise. A contract is formed only when LSK Hire Limited accepts the Customer's Order.

 

2. Delivery and Collection

  • Customers must ensure a representative is present for Delivery; acceptance constitutes evidence that equipment is in good condition and fit for purpose.

  • If no representative is present, equipment left at the Site is deemed accepted.

  • Risk in the equipment passes to the Customer immediately upon leaving LSK Hire’s physical control.

​

3. Site Access

The Customer is responsible for providing open, safe, and unrestricted access to the Site. Failure to provide access may result in the Customer being liable for charges even if services were not performed, as well as additional "re-attempt" fees.

​

4. Quality and Maintenance

  • Equipment is warranted to conform to descriptions and be free from material defects at Delivery.

  • The Customer must notify LSK Hire of defects within 7 days of discovery.

  • Customers must not attempt repairs themselves without written consent.

 

5. Charges and Payment

  • Hire charges accrue in 1-week blocks in advance.

  • For credit accounts, payment is generally due within 30 days of the invoice date.

  • Non-account customers must pay the Holding Deposit, Security Deposit, and hire charges up to the end of the Minimum Hire Period upon ordering.

  • Interest on overdue payments is charged at 4% above the Bank of England base rate.

 

6. Limitation of Liability Total liability is limited to 5 times the Contract charges or £1,000, whichever is higher. LSK Hire is not liable for business interruption, loss of profit, or damage caused by overflowing tanks.

​

Section 2: Terms for Consumers Only
​

1. Right to Cancel (Cooling-off Period)

  • Consumers who order online or by phone generally have 14 days to cancel.

  • For Goods: 14 days from the day after delivery.

  • For Services/Hire: 14 days after the order is accepted.

  • If services have already begun at the Customer's request, LSK Hire may charge a pro-rated amount for the time used prior to cancellation.

​

2. Statutory Rights

Hire Equipment and Goods must be of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose, and match their description. If faulty on delivery, Consumers can request repair, replacement, a price reduction, or a full refund.

​

3. Governing Law

The contract is governed by English law, and legal proceedings may be brought in the courts of England and Wales (or Scotland/Northern Ireland if the Customer resides there).
