Hire terms for Sweeney Audio equipment bookings, delivery, setup and event support across London and Hertfordshire.
These terms apply to equipment hire and related services supplied by Sweeney Audio, a trading name of WEDJ Hire Ltd. They are intended to set out the basis on which we accept bookings, supply equipment, and support events.
Important: any quote, invoice, confirmation email, delivery note or written booking message from Sweeney Audio forms part of the agreement as well. Where a quote or booking confirmation includes specific commercial terms, those terms take priority over general wording on this page.
We supply DJ equipment, sound systems, microphones, lighting, booths and related event hire services. Bookings are accepted subject to availability, suitable access, and our written confirmation.
Our service often includes delivery, collection and setup support, but each booking is agreed individually depending on the venue, timing, access requirements and the equipment involved.
A hire agreement is formed when we confirm the booking in writing. This may be by email, WhatsApp, invoice, payment request or another written confirmation from Sweeney Audio.
Hire charges, delivery costs, setup charges, deposits and payment deadlines will be set out in the quote, invoice or booking confirmation for the job.
Where delivery or collection is included, the hirer is responsible for providing accurate venue details, realistic load-in/load-out times, and safe access to and from the site.
The hire period is the period stated in the booking confirmation. Equipment must be available for collection or return at the agreed time and in the same condition in which it was supplied, fair wear and tear excepted.
The hirer is responsible for all equipment from the point it is delivered, collected, handed over or left on site for the hirer’s use, until it is recovered by us or returned and accepted by us.
The hirer must ensure the venue provides suitable mains power, sufficient space, safe flooring, weather protection where needed, and any permissions required for the use of sound, lighting or staging equipment.
If equipment appears faulty during the hire, the hirer must stop using it immediately and contact us as soon as possible. We will make reasonable efforts to advise remotely, attend site, replace the item or offer a practical alternative where circumstances allow.
The hirer is responsible for loss of or damage to the equipment during the hire period, other than where caused directly by our negligence.
If a booking is cancelled, postponed or materially changed by the hirer, we reserve the right to retain any non-refundable deposit and to charge for costs already incurred or committed.
Nothing in these terms excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot legally be excluded.
Subject to that, our total liability in connection with a booking is limited to the amount paid for the relevant hire, and we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, loss of profit, loss of event revenue, loss of opportunity, or third-party claims unless the law requires otherwise.
We are also not liable for failures or delays caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including severe weather, vehicle breakdown, road closures, venue failures, civil disruption, utility interruption or force majeure events.
We use customer contact details and booking information to quote, confirm, deliver, collect and support bookings. By contacting us or placing a booking, you agree that we may use your details for those operational purposes.
We will only use personal data in connection with legitimate business activity relating to your enquiry, booking or aftercare, subject to our normal privacy and record-keeping practices.
These terms and any booking with Sweeney Audio are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any dispute arising from or connected with a booking will be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales, unless another mandatory legal forum applies.
If you need clarification on any booking term before confirming a hire, please contact us before payment or confirmation. We are happy to talk through delivery, setup, access, insurance, venue conditions or special event requirements in advance.
