Conditions of Hire:
A hire agreement must be signed, before items are collected from Arts Unit premises. The hirer is responsible for the collection and return of all equipment, being aware of the size, shape and weight of the items to be moved.
The hirer is responsible for care and maintenance of instruments whilst on loan. Any repairs or modifications to any instruments must be approved by the Arts Unit prior to commencement of work.
The hirer agrees to pay the cost of replacement, as determined by the Arts Unit, or repairs should the instrument be lost or damaged while on loan. For insurance purposes, the instrument IS covered by the Department’s insurance whilst it is on Departmental property (eg; a school) or whilst it is being used for Departmental purposes (eg; a school concert at an external venue). The instrument IS NOT covered at other times (eg; in the hirer’s house or in transit). It is advised that the hirer takes out insurance to cover the instrument whilst it is in their possession.
The hirer agrees to return the instrument immediately should the Arts Unit need to recall it from loan.
Orchestral instruments may be borrowed for a minimum period of one week and a maximum period of one year, after which time a new hire agreement may be generated.
Percussion and audio equipment may be borrowed for weekly periods only.
