Renters Responsibilities

Responsibility for the rental items remains with the Customer during the rental period, which includes from the time the items are in the Customer’s possession until the items are accepted back into the possession of Lior Candles. Under no circumstances are rental items to be left at unattended premises. Rental items are not to be used by any other third party.

Rental Period

The rental period of customers that choose to select the dry hire option, is for 1 day. Lior Candles must agree to any extension to this period. This means that if the customer dry hires the item, they must return it within 1 day.

If your items are delivered by Lior Candles, we will pick the items up either on the same day or the following day at the venue. This pick-up time and date will be discussed with the hirer.

Condition of Items

We pride ourselves on ensuring our hire items are kept to a high quality standard. As our collection is made up of hired pieces some items do show some wear from frequent use.

Upon return of the rental items to Lior Candles, Lior Candles will inspect the items to ensure they are in the same condition as they were supplied i.e. no chips or cracks.

Delivery & Collection

Lior Candles is located in Sydney, NSW and services the Sydney region.
Delivery & collection service is available for events held in Sydney with no minimum hire spend.

Delivery and set up fees will apply based on the Customer’s proximity to our Headquarters, quantity of items hired and delivery and collection days/times (weekend and early morning/late night surcharges apply) which will be added to their invoice.

Customers with small order sizes have the option to dry hire items (pickup and return rental items to our Headquarters) free of charge.

Delivery/collect & pick-up/return times to be agreed at time of booking. Lior Candles will not be liable for any delivery or collection delays caused by circumstances beyond their control.

Care, Washing & Packaging

Our collection includes fragile items and breakables. The Customer is responsible for taking extra care when handling the rental items, including informing others (i.e. venue) of this, to prevent breakages or damage to items.

All rental items supplied by Lior Candles are clean, hygienic and ready to use. We ask that all food & liquids be removed from the rental items after use. Please see below for specific cleaning instructions by item type.

Please rinse and remove excess food & liquid on our champagne coupes.

Please do not wash the champagne coupes, only rinse with water and remove excess liquid from the champagne coupes. Lior Candles will take care of all of the cleaning of hired items.

Please note:
Our items are not to be left out in damaging weather and our items are not waterproof.

Bond

At Lior Candles, we hold a special philosophy that sets us apart: we treat our customers like family. This core value is woven into every aspect of our business, especially in how we approach the hiring process.

Understanding that convenience is key for our cherished clients, we've innovated our hiring process to be as smooth and hassle-free as possible.

Recognising the importance of trust and ease in our transactions, we've decided to forego the traditional bond payment that many hire services require. Instead of a financial deposit, we simply ask our customers to upload a copy of their license. This not only streamlines the hiring process but also reinforces the mutual trust between us and our customers.

You as the hirer agree that Lior Candles may use these details should the conditions of hire be broken and thus our customers partake in a transparent and fair agreement.

The hirer will need to upload their licence and agree that Lior Candles may use these details should the hirer break the conditions of hire.

Damaged or Lost Faux Cake

You will incur a charge equivalent to the replacement cost of the faux cake if it is damaged, broken, or lost. This cost reflects the original purchase price of the faux cake.

Damaged or Lost Champagne Coupes

If you damage or lose the champagne coupes, you will need to pay $10 for each coupe lost/damaged.

Broken/Damaged Cylinder Candles

If you damage, break or lose our cylinder candles, you will be charged as per the replacement value of the cylinder vase. Replacement value of our rental items is based on the current retail value. The replacement value will need to be paid via bank transfer.

All reimbursements shall be paid by the Hirer within 48hrs of notification of damage/loss and may be subject to late fee/extension fee if overdue.

Audio Guestbook

If you damage or lose our Audio Guestbook, you will be charged as per the replacement value of the Audio Guestbook.

The replacement value will need to be paid via bank transfer.

All reimbursements shall be paid by the Hirer within 48hrs of notification of damage/loss and may be subject to late fee/extension fee if overdue.

Damaged, Breakage & Loss

We recommend that the Customer inspects the items after use to check for any damage, breakage, loss and cleanliness and advise us on their return. Lior Candles will also complete their inspection and will notify the Customer within 3 days of their return of the status of their hire items. This gives Lior Candles ample time to count, clean and reconcile orders.

Where items are found to be missing, it is the responsibility of the Customer to investigate their whereabouts. Should hire items be located at a later date, it is the responsibility of the Customer to return them to Lior Candles at their own cost. If items are located but not returned by the Customer, the replacement value will be deducted from the bond and the hirer will be required to pay the replacement value.

If there is any damage, breakage or loss to the rental items the Customer will be charged as per the replacement value. Replacement value of our rental items is based on the current retail value. The replacement value will be deducted and will need to be paid via bank transfer.

All items supplied by Lior Candles shall always be deemed owned by Lior Candles.

All products are supplied to the Hirer on the basis of reasonable use within the advertised context.

Should any item/s become lost, stolen or damaged when in possession of the Hirer, the Hirer shall immediately notify Lior Candles. The Hirer agrees to pay for all products lost, destroyed, broken, stolen, damaged or not returned to Lior Candles.

Replacement costs will be paid to Lior Candles based on the current pricing and availability of the items on the market. Should no equivalent item be found by Lior Candles then the Hirer is to reimburse Lior Candles the cost in cash or bank transfer at a cost set by Lior Candles.

All reimbursements shall be paid by the Hirer within 48hrs of notification of damage/loss and may be subject to late fee/extension fee if overdue.
