What’s in a Wet and Dry Hire Agreement?
A Wet and Dry Hire Agreement sets out the terms and conditions by which customers hire or rent machinery from your business and, optionally, get an operator to help operate the machinery.

Wet & Dry Hire Agreements usually contain clauses that outline the following: description of goods, payment, dispute resolution processes, customer obligations, liability, term of hire, and what happens with damaged goods.
Also, this document will usually contain a cover page where the hirer can fill out all the hiree details (including name, address and term of hire); viewable alongside the attached T&Cs. Having a properly drafted Wet and Dry Hire Agreement is essential for protecting your rights, limiting your liability and avoiding unnecessary disputes. In particular, it’s really useful because of its ‘damaged goods clause’, which states that the hiree will be responsible for repairing any damaged equipment or machinery.
It’s important to seek legal assistance when preparing a Wet and Dry Hire Agreement to ensure all these key components are properly captured.
Our fixed-fee Wet and Dry Hire Agreement packages start at $1300 + GST. This includes a Wet and Dry Hire Agreement drafted to your business’ needs, phone consultations with a Sprintlaw lawyer, and a complimentary amendment to the final draft we provide to you.
A Wet and Dry Hire Agreement covers the hire of both the machinery and the operator who will operate this machinery. On the other hand, a simple Dry Hire Agreement does not include an operator; covering only the hire of the machinery.

Our legal team is made up of experienced lawyers, who are specialists in various areas of law and hold an Australian legal practising certificate. None of our Sprintlaw lawyers are New Zealand qualified lawyers and they do not currently hold a New Zealand practising certificate. They provide legal services working remotely from Australia via our ‘legal consultancy’ model, through which (under section 6 and section 35 of the New Zealand Lawyers and Conveyancers Act 2006) our Australian legal team are permitted to provide legal services to New Zealand businesses provided they do not provide services in certain ‘reserved’ areas of law. You can read our FAQ page to learn a bit more about our ‘legal consultancy’ model.
Given the strong similarities between Australian and New Zealand law, and the areas of law in which we practice (being small business and startup law), we do not view the fact that our lawyers have not qualified in New Zealand as having any substantive impact on the quality of our service. We are committed to ensuring that we provide high quality, affordable legal services to all our New Zealand clients.
Our legal team have all trained at leading firms, but have left the traditional corporate law world to join us on our mission to create a new and better way of delivering legal services. They have specialist expertise in technology law, intellectual property law, contract drafting and review, corporate law and commercial law.
We’re an award-winning, totally online legal provider. Forget the hassle of meeting face-to-face. Our top-trained legal team is ready to help wherever you are in New Zealand.
Our legal team were recruited from top law firms and use our custom-built technology to provide a better and more affordable legal service.
