In such cases the Agent shall be named on the Hire Contract and Agent shall be jointly and severally liable with Hirer to S+O for compliance with the Agreement.

2. S+O’S SERVICES 2.1. Hire Period. In these Terms, the “Hire Period”: (a) begins on the date stated on the Hire Contract, the delivery or collection of Equipment, and/or the arrival of Technicians on location (whichever occurs first); and (b) ends when all Equipment is returned to S+O’s possession and/or when Technicians are no longer required as specified in the Hire Contract (whichever is later); and 2.2. may in some cases be extended on Hirer’s reasonable request, subject always to S+O’s agreement (acting in its sole discretion), which may be conditional upon Hirer’s payment of additional Fees or other requirements. 2.3. S+O’s Service Commitment. S+O shall use all reasonable endeavours to provide the Services in accordance with the Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, S+O may amend the Services (to include providing alternative Equipment) as necessary to comply with applicable law or regulations, or otherwise if the amendment will not materially or negatively affect the nature or quality of the Services. S+O shall notify Hirer in any such event with as much notice as is practicable. 2.4. S+O’s Obligations.

Fitness for Purpose and Compatibility. Hirer must ensure that Equipment is suitable for Hirer’s purposes. If Hirer wishes to use any of its own equipment (including video tape or media cards) in conjunction with or connected to S+O Equipment, Hirer shall ensure that such equipment is compatible for use in all respects with S+O Equipment. Care and Maintenance. Hirer shall: (a) (b) (c) comply with all safety and usage instructions provided by S+O and/or the manufacturer of Equipment; take good care of Equipment and ensure it is maintained and operated with all reasonable skill and care by appropriately qualified personnel; at its own expense, maintain Equipment in good and substantial repair so that it remains in as good operating condition as on the Commencement Date (fair wear and tear excepted), including replacing any worn, damaged, or lost parts; and 4.4. 4.5. 4.6. (d) be responsible for the cost of making good any damage to Equipment, with repairs assessed and completed by S+O or its nominated repairer. Safety and Security. Hirer shall use or cause to be used Equipment in a skilful, proper and safe manner and shall at its own expense keep it in good condition and take all precautions necessary to ensure its safety and security. Extreme or Adverse Conditions. Hirer acknowledges that if Equipment is used in extreme or adverse conditions (including in extreme temperatures, and moist, dusty or corrosive environments), it does so entirely at its own risk and without any warranty or assurance from S+O as to the operation or performance of such Equipment. Alterations and Modification. Hirer shall: (a) not open the outer case (if any) of Equipment, nor interfere in any way with its mechanisms, nameplates, signs, or serial numbers; (b) not make any alterations to or attempt any repairs to Equipment, nor remove any existing component(s), without S+O’s prior written consent, save for consumable items which are replaced immediately (or if removed in the ordinary course of use, as soon as practicable) with the same component or one of a similar or superior make and model; and (c) not expose Equipment to the elements (including, without limitation, salt water and spray, sand, grit, excessive moisture, extreme temperatures, or other corrosive environments). Title and property in all substitutions, replacements, and renewals made in or to Equipment shall vest in S+O immediately upon installation. 4.7. Damage. S+O maintains records of Equipment condition. If Equipment is lost, stolen, or damaged (beyond fair wear and tear) during the Hire Period, the Hirer shall be liable for the reasonable repair or replacement costs at S+O’s sole discretion, and for any additional hire charges until such time as Equipment is repaired or replaced. Any such hire charges shall not exceed thirteen (13) weeks’ rental, calculated at S+O’s then-current standard list price for such Equipment (and not at any discounted rate applied to the original hire). 4.8. Vehicles. No person other than those authorised by S+O may in any circumstances drive any vehicles supplied by S+O. Where such vehicles are used by or on behalf of Hirer in circumstances not covered by S+O’s insurances, Hirer undertakes to affect the appropriate insurance.

5. DIGITAL STORAGE 5.1. Conditions of Digital Storage. S+O shall supply Equipment with recording functionality and an agreed type and amount of data storage. Hirer acknowledges and agrees that: (a) Hirer is solely responsible for determining whether this storage capacity meets its needs. Additional storage may be provided upon request and will be charged separately at S+O’s prevailing rates; (b) Hirer may not substitute, modify, or replace any data storage supplied by S+O without prior written consent; (c) (d) Hirer is responsible for copying and backing up all recorded data; and if Hirer retains any data storage after returning the associated Equipment, Hirer will be charged a daily hire rate or, at S+O’s discretion, the full replacement cost. 5.2. Back-ups and Retention. (a) Unless otherwise agreed in advance, S+O shall not be obliged to back up or store data from Equipment once returned, and S+O accepts no liability for lost, corrupted, or erased data, including failure by Hirer to transfer files before returning Equipment. (b) For Equipment with temporary audiovisual storage (e.g., media cards, drives, backup devices), S+O may, but shall not be obliged to, retain data for up to 72 (seventy-two) hours after Equipment is returned. After this period, all temporary files are securely erased, unless retention is required by contract or law, including for training, quality control, or insurance purposes. Notwithstanding this, it remains Hirer’s sole responsibility to retrieve all content and other media before returning Equipment. 5.3. Data Integrity and Malfunction. S+O takes all reasonable precautions to use suitable, industry-standard devices to mitigate the risk of data loss or corruption. However, due to the inherent risks and limitations of recording technology, S+O does not and cannot guarantee the functionality or performance of memory cards, storage devices, or other recording hardware, software, or kit. Hirer acknowledges that issues such as data corruption, file loss, or equipment failure may occur despite best practices, and S+O shall have no liability for any loss of or damage to recorded material, whether due to technical faults, media defects, or other unforeseen issues.

6. DELIVERY AND COLLECTION 6.1. 6.2. 6.3. 6.4. 6.5. Logistics. Equipment shall be delivered and collected at such time and place as shall be mutually agreed between S+O and Hirer. If delivered to Hirer the signature of any person purporting to be an employee, sub- contractor or agent of Hirer shall be sufficient evidence of delivery. Inspection. S+O shall use reasonable endeavours to ensure that Equipment is sound and in good order and condition at the time of delivery to or collection by Hirer but it shall be the responsibility of Hirer to ensure that Equipment is fully suitable in all respects for the purpose for which it is hired. Upon delivery or collection Equipment shall be examined and checked by Hirer before being taken into use and if found to be defective or deficient will be replaced or defects or deficiencies remedied by S+O without additional charge. In no circumstances shall S+O be liable for any loss or damage of whatever kind however caused arising out of or in connection with the use of or the inability to use Equipment. Restrictions and International Transport. The Hirer shall keep S+O informed of Equipment’s location at all times. The Hirer shall not, without S+O’s prior written consent, use Equipment for hazardous or abnormal purposes, transport it outside of Great Britain (being England, Scotland, and Wales), or transport it by air except on a regularly scheduled I.A.T.A.-approved flight. The Hirer is responsible for obtaining all necessary customs clearances, licences, and permits. If Equipment is taken outside Great Britain without such consent and is seized, impounded, lost, or damaged, the Hirer shall remain fully liable for all related costs, including replacement, repairs, recovery, and any duties, taxes, or penalties imposed by customs or other authorities. Risk. Hirer assumes full risk and liability of Equipment from dispatch or collection from S+O’s premises until such Equipment is returned, regardless of whether S+O or its agents handle delivery. Timing and Scheduling. S+O shall use reasonable endeavours to comply with any time schedules set out in the Hire Contract. Notwithstanding this, S+O shall not be liable in any circumstances to Hirer for any liability, loss, delay, or damage arising from delayed or non-delivery of Equipment, nor for delayed or non-arrival of Technicians. 6.6. Return Condition. Equipment should be returned in the same condition as it was at the start of the hire period, fair wear and tear excepted, provided that if Equipment is lost, damaged or destroyed Hirer shall pay S+O an extra hire charge until such time as Equipment is (i) replaced (by an equivalent item) repaired or recovered or at S+O’s election pay any cross hire charges S+O incurs sourcing a temporary replacement. 6.7. Return. Unless otherwise agreed in writing between S+O and Hirer it shall be the responsibility of Hirer to return Equipment to S+O on termination of the Hire Period. If S+O agrees to collect Equipment at the end of the Hire Period Hirer shall remain fully responsible for Equipment until it is returned to S+O’s premises. 6.8. Ongoing Hire Charges for Loss or Damage. The Hire Period will be deemed to continue until such time as any damaged Equipment is repaired, or any Equipment that is lost, stolen, or damaged beyond economic repair is replaced provided that the amount of any additional hire charge payable as a direct result of theft, accidental loss or damage to equipment shall not exceed 13 weeks rental, calculated at the then-current standard list price for such Equipment (and not at any discounted rate applied to the original hire).

7. TECHNICIANS 7.1. 7.2. Assignment. S+O shall provide Technician(s) (if any) to the Hirer in accordance with the Hire Contract. If Equipment is of a particularly high technical specification or otherwise requires specialist operation, S+O may, at its absolute discretion, require the Hirer to engage an S+O Technician at the Hirer’s cost. In such cases, only an S+O Technician may operate Equipment. Qualifications & Liability. S+O shall ensure that all Technicians are appropriately qualified and experienced to operate Equipment. However, Hirer is fully responsible for any instructions, guidance, or directions given to the Technician and S+O shall not be liable for any loss, damage, or claims resulting from a Technician following Hirer’s instructions. 7.3. 7.4. 7.5. Hours and Rates. Daily fee rates for Technicians are based on either a ten-hour or twelve-hour day (including all breaks), as specified in the Hire Contract. Any time worked beyond the applicable standard day will be charged at one-and-a-half times the standard hourly rate, calculated pro-rata from the applicable daily fee. For the avoidance of doubt Technicians are not provided on a “buy-out” rate. Performance. If Hirer reasonably believes a Technician is underperforming or unsuitable, they must notify S+O immediately with full details. S+O will use reasonable efforts to resolve the issue and, if necessary, assign a replacement Technician for the remainder of the Hire Period. Working Conditions. Hirer shall ensure that Technicians are treated professionally at all times. The Hirer must provide a safe and compliant working environment for Technicians in line with applicable health and safety laws. S+O reserves the right to withdraw a Technician from any unsafe or inappropriate working conditions without liability. 7.6. No Employment. The Agreement constitutes a contract for the provision of the Services and is not a contract of employment. Nothing in the Agreement shall render S+O (nor any of its Technicians) an employee, worker, agent or partner of Hirer. S+O shall not (and shall procure that its Technicians shall not) hold itself or themselves out as such.

8. HEALTH AND SAFETY 8.1. 8.2. 8.3. 8.4. Compliance. Without limiting Hirer’s obligation to comply with S+O instructions and policies with regard to its Equipment and Technicians, Hirer shall likewise ensure that its representatives, agents, and personnel comply with all applicable health and safety laws, policies, and regulations relating to Hirer’s activities. Risk Assessment & Hazardous Activities. At least seven (7) days before the Hire Period, the Hirer must submit a written risk assessment covering its intended use of Equipment and/or Technicians. All activities are subject to S+O’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and if the activities involve unusual, hazards and / or elevated risks, S+O may require the Hirer to obtain additional insurance in accordance with clause 12 (Insurance). Regulatory Compliance. If any regulatory consents, permits, or approvals are required for the Hirer’s activities, the Hirer must obtain them before the Hire Period and provide copies to S+O upon request. Right of Entry & Inspection. S+O (or its nominated third party) may enter any location where Equipment and/or Technicians are being used at any reasonable time and without prior notice to ensure compliance with these Terms.

9. FEES 9.1. Payment obligations. Hirer shall pay the Fees in accordance with the Hire Contract. 9.2. Basis of Charging. (a) Fees shall be calculated based on S+O’s then-current rate card or as otherwise agreed in writing. (b) Equipment hire Fees apply from the agreed collection/delivery time until Equipment is returned to S+O. (c) A 24-hour period or part thereof constitutes a one-day hire. (d) All Fees stated are exclusive of VAT, which shall be payable by Hirer where applicable. (e) Hirer shall pay all delivery charges. 9.3. Overdue Payments. If Hirer fails to pay any Fees by the due date, subject to clause 9.4 (Disputed Invoices), S+O may suspend the Services on 24 hours’ written notice until payment is made in full and/or charge interest on the overdue amount (accruing daily at 4% per year above the Bank of England’s base rate (before and after judgment)). 9.4. Disputed Invoices. If Hirer disputes an invoice in good faith, Hirer shall timely pay any non-disputed amounts and promptly notify S+O in writing before the due date with details of the discrepancy. S+O shall act reasonably in reviewing the dispute and may, at its discretion, delay enforcement of clause 9.3 (Overdue Payments) while the dispute is under review. 9.5. Deposits. Any deposit specified in the Hire Contract shall be returned to the Hirer (without interest) within fourteen (14) days of Hirer returning all Equipment to S+O and settling any and all outstanding Fees (including any deductions for lost or damaged Equipment).

10. CANCELLATION CHARGES 10.1. 10.2. 10.3. Where Hirer cancels the Services then S+O shall be entitled to a cancellation charge based on the amount of notice given by Hirer and calculated by reference to the Fees in the relevant Hire Contract, as follows: (a) eight (8) days or more - 25% of total Fees (b) Between seven (7) and two (2) days - 50% of total Fees (c) Less than 48 hours - 75% of total Fees (d) Less than 24 hours - 100% of total Fees Notwithstanding clause 10.1 (Cancellation charges), if cancellation results in S+O incurring non-refundable third- party or Technician costs, Hirer shall be liable for the full amount of those charges, in addition to any cancellation fees. S+O shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate these costs where possible. For the avoidance of doubt, the cancellation charges set out in this clause are not applicable where Hirer terminates a Hire Contract for cause under clause 11.2 (Termination for cause).

11. TERM & TERMINATION 11.1. 11.2. Term. Agreement shall remain in full force and effect from the Commencement Date until expiry of the Hire Period, unless terminated earlier in accordance with clause 10.2 (Termination) Termination for cause. Either party may terminate the Hire Contract immediately by notice in writing if the other party: (a) commits a material breach of any of the terms of the Agreement and, if such breach is capable of remedy, fails to remedy the breach within five (5) days of receiving notice from the terminating party specifying the breach and requiring the breach to be remedied; or (b) enters into liquidation whether compulsorily or voluntarily (otherwise than for the purposes of a solvent amalgamation or reconstruction), or becomes insolvent, ceases to carry on business, or compounds or makes any voluntary arrangement with its creditors or becomes subject to an administration order, or is unable to pay its debts as they fall due, or has a receiver or administrative receiver appointed over its assets, or takes or suffers any similar action due to debt. 11.3.

Without specific written agreement to the contrary, prior to the commencement of the Hire Period, Hirer shall effect its own insurance on Equipment. Hirer shall ensure that S+O’s interest is noted on Hirer’s insurance policy or policies and shall notify S+O accordingly and give such other details of the policy or policies as S+O may require. Hirer’s policy shall be in terms no less favourable than those provided by S+O (full details of which will be supplied on request) and shall provide cover for all loss or damage whatsoever to Equipment including the full replacement value of Equipment and the full cost of repairing any damage. 12.3. Hirer’s equipment. Hirer shall be responsible for insuring any of its own equipment. S+O shall have no responsibility for any loss of or damage to such equipment except for loss or damage caused by the wilful or negligent acts of S+O.

13. OWNERSHIP 13.1. Title. Irrespective of actual physical possession, Equipment remains at all time the property of S+O (or its licensors or suppliers, as applicable) and Hirer shall have no right, title or interest save as a hirer under the Agreement.

For the purposes of this clause, the “notice period” in relation to an event shall start on the day on which Hirer became, or ought reasonably to have become, aware of the event having occurred, and shall expire twenty-four (24) months from that date. Such notice must be in writing and must identify the event and the grounds for the claim in reasonable detail.

17. DATA PROTECTION 17.1. Obligation.
