Terms & Conditions of Hire

Please read these terms and conditions carefully. When ordering our services you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions.

 

Our Service

  • Our service allows the hire of ski clothing including jacket and salopettes either individually or as a combination. The hire period begins when garments are delivered to the school and ends when items are returned to us. Cost of hire includes delivery and collection from the school.
  • Items are delivered approximately 1.5-2weeks prior to trip departure and are collected no later than 5 days of trip return date.
  • We will make every effort to accommodate your preference, however, colour or style preference cannot be guaranteed. No refunds can be issued due to dislike of colour provided.
  • Every effort is made to ensure that garments are sent in good working condition. Customers should check the garments thoroughly on day of receipt and notify us as soon as possible if you discover any faults, damage or items missing. (Please note, that due to the nature of the sport, salopettes may have some marks on the bottoms of the legs, caused by the skis, however this should not affect their overall use) Any significant damage not reported may be charged to the hirer.
  • Garments should be tried on upon receipt and as such any changes needed in size must be declared within 48hrs to allow us time to issue you with necessary changes before your trip. (Under certain circumstances you may be required to visit the Altitude store for any changes in sizes)

 

Payment & Cancellations- these have been updated taking into account COVID 19

  • Items must be paid for when booking.
  • You may cancel a booking up to 6 weeks prior to trip departure date without penalty, cancellations made after this period will incur a cancellation charge of 50% of the hire cost to cover administration costs and loss of potential bookings. No Refunds will be given for any hire cancelled within 12days of trip departure or after delivery has been completed to the school (whichever comes first).

COVID 19

Cleanliness has always been top priority at Altitude. Due to Covid 19 we have stopped all trying on of ski clothing at our ski meetings to eliminate any risk of infection. When packing orders, we will ensure all surfaces are cleaned and hands sanitized prior to packaging. All orders are individually packaged in a sealed bag and delivered after at least a 72hour period to the school.

Laundry & Returns

  • Items MUST be returned laundered. Wash on cooler/delicate washing machine cycle and spun twice. Do not tumble dry.
  • Return date will be displayed on your individual package. Please return your items sealed in the bag provided or on a clearly named bag. Items not returned within the stated time will incur a pro rata charge, up to the value of another weeks hire charge. Items not in school for our collection will be your responsibility to return to us directly.

 

 Alterations
You may not alter or modify garments and they must be returned in their original condition.

*Loss or Damage*

You must take all reasonable steps to protect garments from loss or harm during the hire period.  Normal wear and tear on skiwear is expected and won’t incur extra charges. Damage beyond normal wear and tear will incur damage charges.

Damage charges will be assessed for broken zippers, detached garment pieces, make-up or other permanent stains or any other damage that renders the skiwear not rentable. It may include the cost of supplies needed to restore the garment to its original state as well as labour costs.

We reserve the right to charge up to the retail value of garments that have been lost or are returned with major damage including irreparable tears or irreversible marks.
