Please note that the deposit and booking fee is non-refundable in any circumstance.
2. Balance – The balance of the payment due shall be payable to the Operator directly and upon their request. The Operator retains the right to terminate the agreement if payment is not made upon demand or if the Operator considers that it is unlikely that the balance will be paid. Such termination is at the Operator’s absolute discretion. The Operator shall be entitled to contact you in advance of hire directly, to seek payment of the outstanding balance in advance of the date of hire and in the event of unreasonable refusal, shall be entitled to terminate the booking with immediate effect.

4. Amendments – You are entitled to amend your booking up to seven days before your date of hire. Such amendments may incur a cost and we shall notify you of any such cost at the time you make the amendment.
