4. The Hirer shall be liable for excess cleaning fees and/or the repair of any damage to and/or replacement of the piece/s hired caused by the Hirer or any of their associates. A bond as listed in the Booking Sheet/Hire Agreement is to be held by Wagga Event Hire prior to commencement of the hire, on account of such cleaning fees, such damage or such replacement being caused to the piece/s. Such cash bond is refundable upon the piece/s being returned in the same condition. Where replacement of piece/s is necessary, a further amount may be payable by the Hirer to cover such replacement expense.

6. In the event of prior damage to the piece/s hired, Wagga Event Hire shall endeavour to replace the piece/s with comparable piece/s or shall refund 100% of costs paid (including deposit), but shall not otherwise be liable for any loss or inconvenience caused.
