General Hire Conditions |
|
The following general terms and conditions regard the hiring of gear from Bax Music. General Terms & Conditions1. These hire plan conditions are applicable to any rental agreement made between Bax Music and the renter. 2. Bax Music remains the owner of any rented product and accessories at all times until the duration of the rental agreement is fully terminated and therafter, unless the renter arranges a hire purchase agreement. Hire Price and Payment3. The hire price including VAT is equal to 1/14th (one-fifteenth) of the price displayed on the Bax Music webshop at the moment the hire agreement is made and shall be rounded up to whole pounds sterling. 4. At the start of the rental agreement, a deposit is required amounting to 1/5th (one third) of the price as displayed on the Bax Music webshop, including VAT, rounded up to whole pounds sterling. 5. The deposit, remaining month's rent, and the following month's rent must be paid before the delivery of any products. This payment is made via a secure payment link and the bank account number used for this payment must match the account used for the subsequent direct debit. 6. The monthly rental payment is debited for the following month on (or around) the 28th of each month. Please make sure that sufficient funds are available before the payment is debited from your bank account. If the payment cannot be processed due to insufficient funds, a reminder regarding the avaibility of sufficient funds shall be sent. Starting from the second failed transaction during the term of the rental contract, the amount of £19.95 shall be charged per failed transaction. Duration and Ending of the Rental Agreement7. The rental agreement begins the moment the first payment of the deposit, remaining month's rent, and following month's rent is successfully completed. 8. The renter has the right to terminate the contract within 14 days of entering into the agreement without providing any reason. The renter must then return any rented products within 14 days of the termination date. 9. The minimum rental period is 4 full months and is tacitly extended by 1 month rolling. This is a rental contract for an indefinite period and there is therefore NO end date on which the payment obligation expires. 10. The notice period for cancelling the agreement is at least 1 month. 11. If a direct debit cannot be processed successfully, the renter will receive a one-time reminder to pay the rent within 14 days. If payment is not received on time, the outstanding invoice will be transferred to the accounts receivable department. 12. Bax Music reserves the right to reclaim the rented items following three unsuccessful monthly rent payments, which will also terminate the rental agreement. The renter will then be given the opportunity to purchase the rented products in accordance with the applicable hire-purchase arrangement or to return the rented products within 14 days. If the renter does not respond to this, Bax Music reserves the right to draw up the final invoice and recover the amount from the renter. Any unpaid rental installments and additional costs will still be due and will be recovered from the renter. 13. If at the end of the rental period the renter returns the products in technically good condition, the deposit paid by the renter to Bax Music will be refunded. Any defects found at the end of the rental period that are not due to the wear and tear of normal use will be charged to the renter and deducted from the paid deposit. 14. The renter must keep the original packaging. If the original product box is not included when any rented product is returned, Bax Music will deduct the subsequent cost incurred from the paid deposit. Delivery15. The hired product shall be delivered to the delivery address provided by the renter. Liability of the Renter16. For the duration of the rental agreement, the renter is fully liable for any damage caused to any rented products and is obliged to use the rented products responsibly. Any damage caused to rented products during the rental period is at the risk of the renter. Repairs and Maintenance17. Any defects or need for repairs must be reported to the Bax Music customer service helpdesk. Any defects or repairs needed that do not fall under the warranty conditions are the responsibility of the renter. Under no circumstances may the renter carry out any repairs or have any repairs carried out on rented products without the written consent of Bax Music. 18. Normal, generally acceptable maintenance of any rented instruments must be carried out by the renter and is not included in the rental price. Consumables and parts that are subject to wear and tear such as drumsticks, drumheads and strings are not covered by the rental contract and are at the renter’s expense. Purchase Following the Rental Period19. The renter may decide to purchase the rented product(s) following notice of termination and full payment of the four-month minimum rental period. The purchase price is calculated by deducting the initial deposit as well as 50% of the full month’s rental fees already paid from the price displayed on the Bax Music webshop at the time the original hire agreement was made. In no case can the purchase price be lower than £0.00.
