Notice of cancellation of the booking by the Hirer must be provided to the Company to be received not less than 28 days prior to the Period of Hire. Cancellation of less than 28 days prior to the period of hire will result in 100% of the hire charge being forfeited.

The Hire charges do not include any making good or repairing of damage to the site.
