If we have to contact you we will do so by telephone or by writing to you at the email address or postal address you provided to us in your order.

ACCEPTANCE OF CONTRACT

By placing an order on sarihire.com, you (the user) are agreeing to the rental terms contained herein. The user is liable for all fines payable under terms of this contract.

Our acceptance of your order will take place when we email you to accept it, at which point a contract will come into existence between you and us. We will assign an order number to your order and tell you what it is when we accept your order. It will help us if you can tell us the order number whenever you contact us about your order.

If we cannot accept your order, we will inform you of this and will not charge you for the product. This might be because the product is out of stock, because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for, because we have identified an error in the price or description of the product or because we are unable to meet a delivery deadline you have specified.

We only rent to the UK. Our website is solely for the promotion of our products in the UK. Unfortunately, we do not accept orders from or deliver to addresses outside the UK.

OUR PRODUCTS

Products may vary slightly from their pictures. The images of the products on our website are for illustrative purposes only. Although we have made every effort to display the colours accurately, we cannot guarantee that a device’s display of the colours accurately reflects the colour of the products. Your product may vary slightly from those images. 

DELIVERY OF PRODUCTS

The costs of delivery will be displayed to you on our website. Please note, you will be charged a delivery fee for every unique delivery date. If you have multiple items being delivered on the same date you will only be charged this fee once.

We use Royal Mail to deliver our orders.

Any delivery time or date given by Sari Hire to the User is an estimate only. If the item is delivered late the user must accept delivery unless a non-delivery agreement is reached in advance between Sari Hire and the user.

We are not responsible for delivery delays outside our control. If our supply of the products is delayed by an event outside our control then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of delay. Provided we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to end the contract and receive a refund for any products you have paid for but not received.

If after a failed delivery to you, you do not re-arrange delivery or collect them from a delivery depot we will contact you for further instructions and may charge you for storage costs and any further delivery costs. If, despite our reasonable efforts we are unable to contact you or re-arrange delivery or collection we may end the contract.

RENTAL PERIOD AND LATE FEES

The rental period shall commence from when the User (or a third party nominated by the User) receives their item(s) and shall continue for a 7 calendar day period, or until the Sari Hire Items are dropped off at a Royal Mail Post Office.

Where apparel has not been dropped off to a Royal Mail post office by the designated Rental Return Date then Sari Hire are entitled to charge additional hire fees to the users credit/debit card which was provided at the time of the original rental.

If the User pays Sari Hire an amount equal to the recommended retail value (as stated on the product page) in late fees and the user still has the item in their possession then the item(s) is the users to keep.

Late fees are charged according to the following structure:

A fee of 50% will be charged if the item has not been returned 7 days after the original return date. If the item is not returned by 14 days, we will assume it has been lost/stolen and is not going to be returned, and you will be charged the items’ RRP. 

The leased item is and will at all times remain the absolute property of Sari Hire Limited, until paid for in full as described above whereupon ownership will be transferred to the Hirer.

The User accepts full responsibility for the safekeeping of the apparel once the item has been signed for.

DAMAGES & THEFT

If the Apparel gets lost or damaged beyond repair:

• the User is solely responsible for the apparel they have rented and is therefore liable for any damage or loss that occurs during the rental period.
• Regardless of whether the User is personally responsible for the damage they remain liable for the replacement of this item because in signing for their delivery they agreed to take responsibility for the apparel.  
• In assessing the replaceable value, Sari Hire will take into account: the demand for the Sari, our ability to purchase a replacement, the condition of the garments, and the rental fee that the User has already paid.

ACCIDENTAL DAMAGE COVER

Examples of accidental damage include, ripped seams, zip/ hook breaks and removable stains that require extra attention. In these instances customers may be liable to pay the cost of repair.

Accidental damage cover does not cover damages where the garments must be replaced or written off entirely. In these instances customers are liable to pay the replacement dress costs.

Damage assessment is at the discretion of the expert Sari Hire Team. In the rare case that the item needs to be replaced, customers may be sent the damaged dress to keep once the replacement costs have been paid.

CANCELLATION

User cancellation: If the User cancels an order up to 10 calendar days in advance of their chosen delivery date they are entitled to receive a full refund.

Orders cancelled with less than 10 calendar days notice will be subject to a 30% cancellation fee.

If a User cancels their order within 2 hours of placing the order will be eligible for a full refund except where the order has already been dispatched.

Orders cancelled within 48 hours of the delivery date will be non-refundable.

To cancel an order, the User must give written notice to: info@sarihire.com.

Sari Hire cancellation: In certain circumstances we may need to cancel an order before it has been dispatched to the user. Said circumstances can include: if the apparel ordered has not been returned/or has been returned damaged by a previous customer, or if the User in question has given us cause to be concerned about their suitability to receive future rentals (e.g. frequent late returns, theft or damaged items.)

IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE PRODUCT

If you have any questions or complaints about the product, please contact us. You can write to use at info@sarihire.com.

EXCHANGES

If you wish to exercise your legal rights to reject products you must post them back to us. We offer an exchange service for all of our rentals. To exchange a product you must ensure that the apparel is dropped off in the pre-paid packaging with the returns label attached at a Royal Mail post office within 48 hours of receipt.

Once you have selected the outfit you would like to exchange your original item for (please ensure it is available for your event date) – please email info@sarihire.com and we will ensure your exchange is posted to you at the earliest opportunity.

Please note, that we will charge/refund you the difference in costs for two exchanged items and that a delivery fee will apply to your exchanged item.

RENTAL CREDIT

If an item is unsuitable, please return it to the post office before or on the last day of your rental period and email info@sarihire.com to let us know you returning an item unworn.

We offer rental credit for one unworn item per order - the rental credit will amount to how much you paid for that item and will not include the delivery charge.

You will not receive a monetary refund for unworn items.

PRICE AND PAYMENT

The price of the rental will be the price indicated on the order pages when you placed your order.  We take reasonable care to ensure that the price of the product advised to you is correct.

It is always possible that, despite our reasonable efforts, some of the products we rent may be incorrectly priced.  We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the product’s correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount.  If the product’s correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order.

We use Stripe to process our payments and therefore accept almost all major credit and debit cards. You must pay for the products at the point of reservation.

By using Stripe as a payment method, you authorise Stripe to store your card details in case we need to recharge a card for associated fees, e.g. late fines.

PURCHASABLE ITEMS

Any items purchased through our website are eligible for a return, refund or exchange, subject to discretion.
