Damage Waiver Options

Taking the worry out of ACCESS HIRE

JMS operates a waiver scheme so our customers can hire expensive access equipment without having to worry about unforeseen costs.

Unintended incidents can occur even in the most controlled well-managed working environments.
These can leave hire customers responsible for paying the cost of repairing damaged equipment, or even replacing it.
JMS offers two waiver options – Damage Waiver Extended Damage Waiver.

They are designed to remove worry about damage, theft or loss of the equipment you hire.

 

 

 

Damage Waiver

Damage Waiver – how it works

The Damage Waiver payment covers most repair costs to hired equipment.
Customers that do not agree to the Damage Waiver, will be expected to return the machine back to the plant undamaged, or pay the full cost of any repairs.

Cost of Damage Waiver

Our Damage Waiver is calculated as a percentage of the total hire charge. It is 10% of the hire charge.

Damage Waiver – what it covers

Our Damage Waiver scheme covers all repair expenses we incur, where there has been accidental damage, except circumstances specifically excluded. See a list of exclusions below.

Damage Waiver – who it covers

Customers who make cash payments for our powered access machines MUST agree to take the Damage Waiver agreement as part of our all risk waiver (see below).
The scheme is optional for account customers.
If account holders want to opt out of Damage Waiver, they must provide a letter, before entering into a hire agreement, stating they will be responsible for any damage to hired equipment. They must also provide a copy of their Hired in Plant Insurance certificate.
