PACKRAFT HIRE AGREEMENT
Hire or use of any item by the Customer from PacKraft constitutes acceptance of all of the terms of the following agreement and waiver in full.
​PACKRAFT HIRE AGREEMENT
​Conditions for Packraft and Equipment Hire:
Our Principles
1. Safe and fun!
Safety first. Fun a close second. That means Personal Floatation Devices (PFD) or life jackets should be worn by all paddlers, and basic boating safety and common sense water safety principles must be followed. Never paddle anywhere you are not comfortable you are able to swim safely to shore from.
2. As the hirer, you are responsible for the packraft during the rental period
We’ve spent a lot of money on our fleet to give you access to quality equipment, however packrafts are lightweight inflatable craft, so we ask that you take care of them. Just like renting a car, any damage during the rental period is your responsibility. You’ll need to provide your driver’s licence and a credit card for security before you are approved for a rental, and you will be responsible for loss or damage caused or return of dirty or damaged Boats or equipment.
3. We want you to have an adventure, but we want you to come home safely afterwards even more.
We’re big believers in safety and that’s why we supply high quality protective and safety gear for you to hire. At the end of the day you are responsible for your own safety and well-being, and ultimately how, where and when you will use the equipment hired.
Every person intending to hire or use a PacKraft Boat or equipment must read and agree to the following Hire Terms and Conditions and the Participant Waiver before hire and use.
Hire and use of any PacKraft boat or equipment constitutes the Customer or Operator or any user having read and understood and accepted the Hire Agreement and the Participant Waiver in full and indemnifying PacKraft completely from any loss or damage to any person or property.

7 Warranties and Liability
7.1 Where Australian Consumer Law applies the Participant has the benefit of guarantees in relation to the hire of a Boat which cannot be excluded.
7.2 To the extent that Australian Consumer Law (or any other law which cannot be excluded) does not apply, PacKraft makes no representations and gives no warranties other than those set out in this Agreement, and will not be liable to any Participant for any Loss, Claims, damages, costs or other liabilities whatsoever (including for consequential loss) in relation to the use of a Boat or equipment by the Participant.

7.7 Where PacKraft’s loss, damage and costs are covered and paid for entirely by any insurance the Customer’s liability to PacKraft will be limited to the excess related to the claim.

7.8 Where external events outside of the control of Packraft impact hire service availability or delivery, Packraft will not be held responsible or liable. Once hire equipment has been packed and booked with a courier service, any responsibility for delays or non-delivery is with the courier company and Packraft has no control over this. We will do our best to ensure items are sent and booked in a timely manner, however form time to time, events, peak periods or disasters may interrupt or delay delivery providers. If deliveries are not made by the courier by the start date of the hire, the limit of liability of Packraft will be the amount paid for the hire, which will be refunded in full or provided as credit if the customer requests an alternative rental period.
