TITLE TO HIRED GARMENTS

All hired garments remain the sole property of Salt Banksia at all times. Hiring a garment grants temporary use only for the agreed hire period, & ownership is never transferred.

Customers agree to treat all garments with exceptional care. Garments must not be forced if they do not fit, & customers must not misuse garments or damage zippers, closures, fabric, or embellishments.

No modifications or alterations may be made to any garment without prior written approval from Salt Banksia. This includes hemming, stitching, cutting, resizing, pinning, taping, or any permanent alteration. Unauthorised alterations may result in repair or replacement charges.

PICK-UP & RETURNS RESPONSIBILITY

Customers are solely responsible for collecting hired garments from Salt Banksia & returning them by the agreed return date & time.

Collection & returns must be made in-store at Salt Banksia, 8/54 Marina Boulevard, Larrakeyah NT.

It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure garments are collected with sufficient time before their event & returned on time to avoid late fees.

Failure to collect a garment does not entitle the customer to a refund, credit, or booking transfer unless required by Australian Consumer Law.

Garments must be returned by the agreed return date & time. Failure to return garments on time will incur late fees in accordance with these Terms & Conditions.

All responsibility & risk in the garment remains with the customer from the time of collection until the garment has been returned to & accepted by Salt Banksia.

GARMENT INSPECTION AT COLLECTION

All garments are carefully inspected by Salt Banksia prior to collection. At the time of collection, the customer is required to inspect the garment in-store with a Salt Banksia representative to confirm the garment is in acceptable condition before leaving the premises.

This includes checking for stains, marks, tears, faults, missing embellishments & general garment condition. By collecting the garment, the customer acknowledges they have inspected the garment & accepted its condition.

Customers may be required to sign confirmation that the garment has been inspected & accepted prior to leaving Salt Banksia.

If a customer identifies an issue after collection, Salt Banksia must be notified within 24 hours via email at admin@saltbanksia.com.au, including clear photographs. Salt Banksia will review the issue & determine whether the issue existed prior to collection or occurred during the hire period.

Minor wear consistent with normal rental use does not constitute damage or fault.

ISSUES WITH FIT OR APPEARANCE

Salt Banksia provides sizing information as accurately as possible. Customers are responsible for selecting the correct size.

Refunds or credits will not be provided if a garment does not fit, is unsuitable, or does not meet personal preference, unless required by law.

Bookings may be cancelled subject to the following conditions.

Cancellations made ten (10) days or more before the hire date are eligible for a full refund or store credit.

Cancellations made within ten (10) days of the hire date are eligible for store credit only, less any associated fees incurred by Salt Banksia.

Refunds will otherwise only be provided where required under Australian Consumer Law. All approved store credits are valid for twelve (12) months from the date of issue.

CLEANING

Professional cleaning is included in every hire. Under no circumstances are customers permitted to wash, dry clean, spot clean, iron, steam excessively, or attempt stain removal on any hired garment.

Customers must not attempt to clean garments themselves. If a customer attempts to clean a garment & damage occurs, additional charges may apply.

No refunds will be issued for minor creasing caused during wear.

DAMAGE OR LOSS

All garments are carefully inspected before & after each hire. Normal wear & tear is expected & included as part of the hire. This includes minor signs of wear consistent with careful use, including minor creasing, light wear to hems & general wear consistent with normal use.

Damage beyond normal wear & tear will incur additional charges. Damage includes, but is not limited to, stains, fake tan marks, makeup marks, tears or rips, broken zippers, pulled threads, missing buttons or embellishments, burn marks, water damage & permanent odours.

Failure to report pre-existing damage may result in the damage being deemed to have occurred during your hire period. Customers must not clean, repair, alter, hem, pin, tape, or otherwise modify a hired garment.

If Salt Banksia determines that a garment is damaged beyond normal wear & tear, the customer agrees to pay for professional cleaning, repairs, loss of rental income, partial replacement costs, or full replacement costs.

If a garment is lost, stolen, not returned, or deemed irreparably damaged, the customer agrees to pay the full retail value of the garment together with any associated costs incurred by Salt Banksia.
