New Scaffolding Hire Terms and Conditions (B2B)
New Scaffolding Hire Terms and Conditions (B2B) are designed for the hire of scaffolding and erection of the scaffolding by the supplier. These Ts and Cs cover a range of important points to allow for smooth and efficient transactions between a scaffolding hire business and its customer.
This template is for use only where the hire business’ customer acts in the course of a business and does not act as a “consumer” in relation to the scaffolding hire.
This document is designed for use only where the scaffolding is hired out, delivered, erected and dismantled by the hire business or its contractors.
Key Points Covered in the Terms and Conditions:
- Customers are subject to a number of obligations to ensure that the site will be accessible, free of obstacles, fit for use and that no damage will be likely to occur.
- Payment takes the form of an initial deposit, followed by the balance of the hire fees and a refundable security deposit.
- Cancellation provisions are included, allowing customers to cancel within various time windows before the hire period begins. For each window, different refund and/or payment terms apply, ensuring that the closer to the hire period the cancellation takes place, the more money the hire business is entitled to – reflecting the level of inconvenience and loss of opportunity to hire the scaffolding out to a different customer.
