HIRE TERMS AND CONDITIONS
GROUP HIRE:
A ‘group hire’ is specified by signing a ‘Group Hire Contract’ either in person or digitally. A ‘Group Hire’ is the hire (rental) of one or more than one suit(s) (and accessories). The hire contract is signed by the hirer of the group. The ‘Group Hire Contract’ is entered into when a contract has been either signed in person or using our secure online booking system. Signing either document is confirmation of the acceptance of the Terms and Conditions outlined within. The hirer is therefore responsible for the group as a whole. Including all products hired or purchased by any member of the group hire party. All of our usual terms and conditions apply for the group as a whole. (see below).
DISCOUNTS:
To be eligible for the ‘group hire’ discounts advertised a ‘group hire’ contract must be signed by one individual (the hirer) and the total price including any discount will be stated on the ‘group hire’ contract or a quote supplied prior to booking. The total price, including discount, is for the ‘group hire’ only and cannot be calculated or divided for individuals.
TERMS:
The amount stated is the total hire charge for the stated goods hired. The hire charge is for one day only.
The hirer is permitted a period of up to two working days in advance of the wedding for collection and a period of up to two working days for return. The exact dates are specified on the ‘Group Hire Contract’.
Sundays are not considered a working day and will not be available for either a collection or return.
Bank Holidays are also not available for either collection or return.
50% of the full value of the ‘Group Hire Contract’ should be paid to secure your reservation. This is a non-refundable deposit. The remaining 50% should be paid on or prior to collection.
A Cash Security Deposit is paid on collection only. This should be paid in Cash only.
The hirer is responsible for all goods and should return them promptly in an undamaged condition. Whilst the goods are in the hirer’s possession the hirer is responsible for the full retail value of hired items (including suit cover and
hangar) whether lost stolen or damaged. We reserve the right to refuse the hire of any goods to any individual. We also reserve the right to cancel/change any existing order, without prior notice.
FITTINGS:
All fittings should be complete by the date (Last Fitting Date) stated within your ‘Group Hire Contract’ if for any reason fittings have not been completed by this date we reserve the right to cancel or amend the hire items required. Re-fittings (or
second fittings) should be completed no later than 2 weeks prior to the wearing date on an appointment only basis. Refits and second fittings are not compulsory or always necessary, they are at the hirer’s discretion.
DAMAGED GOODS:
We must be informed prior to wearing time of any damaged goods.
CANCELLATION CHARGES:
In the unlikely event that you no longer require the hire of the products reserved you can cancel your order up to 30 days prior to the wearing date and not be liable for the full amount stated on the ‘Group Hire Contract’ – the 50% deposit paid is NON-REFUNDABLE.
A cancellation of your contract within 30 days prior to the wearing date will incur the Full Hire Charge agreed on your ‘Group Hire Contract’ and as such an invoice for the balance of the ‘Group Hire Contract’ will be raised and issued.
CHANGES:
Any changes to the goods originally ordered are subject to availability. Any changes to the goods originally ordered are subject to a surcharge for administration costs incurred. Surcharge is directly related to the goods hired. Minimum surcharge: £40.00 – Maximum surcharge: full hire cost of original order.

RETURNING HIRE SECURITY DEPOSIT:
The (CASH) security deposit will be returned to the hirer or the returning contact only. In the event that the suits are returned by persons whom are not named as either the hirer or returning contact the security deposit (CASH) will be held until contact has been made with the hirer for authorisation to release the security deposit (CASH) to a named individual. If the Security Deposit (CASH) remains uncollected, the monies will be held no longer than 12 weeks from the wearing date. After which time the monies paid (CASH) will be forfeit.
RETURNING GOODS LATE:

Once the Security Deposit has been exhausted Jack Bunney Ltd reserve the right to reclaim loss of earnings via small claims court.
BANK TRANSFER BOOKINGS:
