Rental rules, documents and deposit values

This page explains reservation, collection, payment, extension and return, with the current equipment deposit-value table.

Before collection

Reservation, paperwork and payment

A list sent from the calculator is a request. A reservation exists only after written confirmation from the rental team.

01

Request confirmation

We confirm availability, models and sizes, collection date and time, return deadline, final price and, if required, the prepayment amount and conditions.

02

Collection documents

Before collection, we complete a rental agreement and an issue-and-return record listing the equipment, quantity and condition. Check the set and record any existing damage before leaving.

03

Payment and receipt

Payment is made on the confirmed terms. A fiscal receipt is issued after payment. Any booking-specific conditions are recorded in the confirmation and rental agreement.

Prepayment

Prepayment is required only when stated in the written confirmation. Before payment, we state the amount, deadline and cancellation and refund conditions. Without that notice, a request is not treated as a prepaid reservation.

Cancellation and refunds

To cancel, message us on Telegram as early as possible with the booking name and dates. Any prepayment is refunded under the conditions confirmed in writing before payment. A payment is non-refundable only if this was expressly agreed in advance.

No-show or late arrival

If you cannot arrive at the agreed time, tell us in advance. Automatic cancellation applies only to a no-show without notice. If you gave notice, late collection or rescheduling is possible only after a new availability check.

Extension: before the original return deadline, message us on Telegram with the booking name and requested new date. The extension applies only after written confirmation of availability and the additional amount. Without confirmation, return the equipment by the original deadline.
