Hire and Rental Agreementswith expert lawyers

A Hire Agreement sets out each party’s duties and obligations under the contract. For example, the terms of the agreement can help make sure you’re paid on time and that your goods are protected.

After you submit your enquiry, one of our legal consultants will review it within 1 business day and get in touch to better understand what you’re looking for.

Your legal consultant will then send you an email with more information about the services you need, along with a fixed-fee quote setting out the costs, scope of the service and timing.

If you’re happy with the scope, you can accept and sign our engagement letter online. Once you’ve formally accepted, we’ll connect you with a specialist lawyer who will work with you to complete your project. They’ll contact you by email or phone if needed.

Our legal team is made up of experienced commercial lawyers with strong backgrounds in contracts, privacy, employment, intellectual property, corporate and general business law. For Sprintlaw NZ, legal services are provided by Australian- and UK-qualified lawyers who are familiar with the New Zealand legal requirements relevant to the business matters we support.

A well-drafted Hire or Rental Agreement should clearly set out the key commercial and legal terms of the arrangement. This often includes:

• what goods or equipment are being hired
• the hire period and any renewal or extension terms
• fees, payment terms, bonds or deposits, and any late payment provisions
• who is responsible for delivery, installation, use, maintenance, repairs, and return of the goods
• risk, loss, damage, and insurance obligations
• what happens if the goods are returned late, damaged, or not returned at all
• termination rights and what happens at the end of the hire period
• liability limits and dispute resolution clauses where appropriate

The right terms will depend on what is being hired and how your business operates, so it is important that the agreement is tailored to your situation.
