Hire Period 24.1 Where a timing device is mounted on the Equipment it may be used by Proquip to determine the time the Equipment was in use by the Client unless otherwise stated in the Hire Schedule. Where the meter is found not to be working either during or at the Termination Date then Proquip will estimate the hours used and the onus is on the Client to prove otherwise. 24.2 Hire charges shall commence from the time the Equipment is collected by the Client from Proquip’s premises and will continue until the return of the Equipment to Proquip’s premises, and/or until the expiry of the Minimum Hire Period, whichever last occurs. 24.3 Unless otherwise agreed by Proquip, the Minimum Hire Period shall be for a period of one (1) day and usage shall not exceed eight (8) hours within that period. 24.4 The maximum allowable daily use shall not exceed eight (8) hours within any twenty four (24) on-hire period. Excess use charges will be applied in accordance with clause 24.1. 24.5 If Proquip agrees with the Client to deliver and/or collect the Equipment, hire charges shall commence from the time the Equipment leaves Proquip’s premises and continue until the Client notifies Proquip that the Equipment is available for collection, and/or until the expiry of the Minimum Hire Period, whichever last occurs. 24.6 Equipment must be returned or made available for collection by 9am on the designated off-hire day or additional charges will apply. 24.7 No allowance whatsoever can be made for time during which the Equipment is not in use for any reason, unless Proquip confirms special prior arrangements in writing. In the event of Equipment breakdown provided the Client notifies Proquip immediately, hiring charges will not be payable during the time the Equipment is not working, unless the condition is due to negligence or misuse on the part of or attributable to the Client.
