The Tools that may be hired includes anything from standard hand tools like saws and hammers, to power tools, to larger machinery like cherry pickers and excavators.

You understand and agree that we only make available the Platform and the toolZhireTM Services.

Cancellation, Refund and Variation Policy

The terms and conditions agreed to between the Hirer and the Hiree must be set out clearly in the relevant Listing.

If refund/cancellation policy is set by the Hirer but subject to a minimum standard as set out here: The cancellation, or refund of any Tools hired through this Platform is a matter between the relevant Hiree and Hirer, subject to the following clauses.

If (1) Hiree and Hirer mutually agree to cancel a Booking; or (2) following reasonable attempts by a Hiree to contact a Hirer for the Hirer to fulfil the Booking, the Booking is cancelled; and (3) we are satisfied that the Listing Fees should be returned to the Hiree, we will return the Listing Fees to the Hiree, provided that the Listing Fees have not yet been paid to the Hirer.

Variation: If a Hirer and Hiree mutually agree (after discussion via the Platform) to vary a Booking by extending the period of time the Tools are booked for, the Hirer can charge a fee (Variation Fee) through the Platform which the Hiree must pay.

For disputes between Hirees and Hirers, we encourage Parties to attempt to resolve disputes (including claims for returns or refunds) with the other Party directly and in good faith, either on the Platform or through external communication methods. In the event that a dispute cannot be resolved through these means, the Parties may choose to resolve the dispute in any manner agreed between the Parties or otherwise in accordance with applicable laws.

Identify Verification

If we choose to conduct identity verification or background checks on any Hirer, to the extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties of any kind, either express or implied, that such checks will identify prior misconduct by a Hirer or guarantee that a Hirer will not engage in misconduct in the future. Any verification of Hirers on the Platform is not an endorsement or recommendation that the Hirer is trustworthy or suitable. You should do your own due diligence before hiring Tools from a Hirer.

As a Hirer, we may offer you the option of verifying your identity and/or validating your Account using a third party verification service (Third Party ID Service).

Where you have elected to verify your identity under this clause, you acknowledge and agree that (1) we may contact, connect to or otherwise liaise with Third Party ID Services to validate your identity and information (Identity Check); and (2) Third Party ID Services may provide us with your personal information or sensitive information, and you consent to us receiving and using this information to enable us to perform an Identity Check.

Following a successful Identity Check, you acknowledge and agree that (1) we may permit you to use verification signs, icons or badges in connection with your Account to indicate that a successful Identity Check has been performed (Verification Icon); and (2) a Verification Icon may only be used by the individual or business for whom the relevant Identity Check has been successfully performed and the relevant Verification Icon has been issued, and then, only where that individual is directly providing the relevant Tools for hire.

You acknowledge and agree that (1) the Identity Check and the issuance of a Verification Icon may not be fully accurate, as they are dependent on the information provided by the relevant individual or business and/or information or checks performed by third parties; and (2) you should not rely on the Identity Checks or the Verification Icons, and you should make your own inquiries as to the accuracy, legitimacy, validity, credibility or authenticity of any users of the Platform.

Reviews

Hirers may review their experience with the Hiree on the Platform, and Hirees may review with the Hirer on the Platform, including the Tools that were hired (each a Review).

Reviews can be viewed by any user and will remain viewable until the relevant Account is removed or terminated.

You agree to provide true, fair and accurate information in your Review. If we consider that the Review is untrue, unfair, inaccurate, offensive or inappropriate, we may delete the Review or ban you from posting the Review. We do not undertake to review each Review. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for the content of any Reviews.

You can write a Review about a Hirer if you have had an experience with that Hirer, which means that (1) you have engaged the Hirer through the Platform; or (2) you can otherwise document your interaction with the Hirer in relation to the Platform, including via correspondence (collectively referred to as a Hiree Experience).
