We reserve the right to suspend or restrict access to the website at any time without notice.
3. Hire Agreement
A binding Hire Agreement is formed when we issue a written confirmation of hire to the Customer. Enquiries submitted via our website or by telephone do not constitute a binding agreement until confirmed in writing by us.
These Terms and Conditions apply to all hire agreements unless otherwise agreed in writing by a director of JAM Power Ltd. No other terms (including any terms in a Customer’s purchase order or other documentation) will apply unless expressly agreed by us in writing.
The Customer must be at least 18 years of age and, where hiring on behalf of a business, have authority to bind that business.
4. Quotations & Pricing
All quotations are valid for 14 days from the date of issue unless stated otherwise. Prices are quoted exclusive of VAT unless stated. VAT will be added at the applicable rate at the time of invoicing.
We reserve the right to revise pricing prior to confirmation of the Hire Agreement. Once a Hire Agreement is confirmed in writing, the agreed price is binding for the confirmed Hire Period.
Additional charges may apply for extended hire periods, additional mileage outside agreed delivery zones, non-standard delivery requirements, or damage and loss as set out in Section 9.
5. Delivery & Collection
We will use reasonable endeavours to deliver and collect Equipment on the agreed dates. Delivery and collection times are estimates only and are not guaranteed. We shall not be liable for any loss or damage caused by delay in delivery or collection.
The Customer is responsible for ensuring adequate and safe access to the delivery site. Additional charges may apply where access is restricted or where specialist equipment is required for delivery.
Risk in the Equipment passes to the Customer on delivery and returns to us on collection.
6. Customer Obligations
During the Hire Period, the Customer must:
- Use the Equipment only for its intended purpose and in accordance with any operating instructions provided by us
- Keep the Equipment secure and protected from theft, damage, and adverse weather conditions

- Not sub-hire or lend the Equipment to any third party
- Ensure that only suitably qualified and trained personnel operate the Equipment
- Comply with all applicable health and safety regulations relating to the use of the Equipment on site
- Notify us immediately of any fault, damage, loss, or theft of the Equipment
- Return the Equipment in the same condition as delivered, fair wear and tear excepted
7. Payment
Payment terms will be specified in the hire agreement and/or invoice. Unless otherwise agreed in writing:
- A deposit may be required prior to delivery
- Invoices are due for payment within 30 days of the invoice date
- We reserve the right to charge interest on overdue amounts at 8% per annum above the Bank of England base rate, in accordance with the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998

Nothing in these Terms and Conditions excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited by English law.
Subject to the above, we shall not be liable to the Customer for:
- Any indirect, special, or consequential loss or damage
- Loss of profit, revenue, business, or anticipated savings
- Loss of data or business interruption
- Any loss arising from the Customer’s failure to comply with their obligations under these terms
Our total liability to the Customer in connection with any hire agreement shall not exceed the total hire charges paid by the Customer under that agreement.

The Customer is responsible for the Equipment from the time of delivery until collection. The Customer shall be liable for:
- The full replacement cost of any Equipment that is lost, stolen, or damaged beyond economic repair during the Hire Period
- The cost of repairing any damage caused by misuse, negligence, or failure to follow operating instructions
- Continued hire charges during any period the Equipment is unavailable for hire due to damage caused by the Customer
We recommend that Customers confirm with their insurers that their public liability and/or contractor’s all-risk policy covers hired-in plant and equipment for the value of the Equipment.
10. Termination & Cancellation
Either party may terminate a Hire Agreement by written notice if the other party materially breaches these terms and fails to remedy the breach within 14 days of written notice.
If the Customer cancels a confirmed Hire Agreement, cancellation charges may apply as follows:
- More than 7 days before hire start: no charge
- 3–7 days before hire start: 25% of the hire fee
- Less than 3 days before hire start: 50% of the hire fee
