Terms of Use

SLR Rentals  (SLR Ohakune Ltd) is a New Zealand based business.

All the equipment offered for rental is described on our site, with the understanding that customers are able to book a category of equipment (standard offer).

MAKING AVAILABLE AND RETURNING THE RENTAL EQUIPMENT - RENTAL PERIOD

The equipment may be collected the evening before the first day of the rental after 3pm or on the morning of the first day, and returned BEFORE 6PM on the final day of rental. 

For reservations made less than 48 hours in advance, shops will do their utmost to ensure that equipment is available and ready, but this cannot be guaranteed.  Should we not be able to fulfil the order, we shall provide you with alternative equipment to the closest specification, within the same category and class.

The rented equipment become the full responsibility of the customers as soon as collected by them. The customer shall ensure its conservation and shall make use of it with due care at all times. 

In case of late collection of the rented equipment’s, the customer shall inform SLR as soon as possible. We will keep the booked equipment at the customer's disposal for 24 hours. Passed this time, the equipment’s shall be made available for renting again, without compensation to the customer.

The rented equipment’s shall be returned to SLR. Failure to return the rented equipment - regardless of the reason - will result in billing the customer for the full value of replacing the equipment, in addition -to the cost of the rental.

Day 1 Bookings:

Book online and pay for the first day's rental only (save up to 20% on Day 1). You can keep the equipment for as long as you require, and payment for any additional days will be settled when the equipment is returned. If BOTH Turoa and Whakapapa are closed on the your first (only) day, and you have NOT collected the equipment, then the booking can move to the next day or a future open day at no cost. If a refund is required, then there is a processing cost of $5 per person, and the balance will be transfered back to your CC (as per our T & C's) 

Up to 7 days Bookings:

For our amazing up to 7 Day Rental Deal, just book online and pay for the first day, but you DO NOT recieve the 20% off day 1 deal, as the 7 Day deal is SO good already. Payment for the outstanding balance for the 7 Day Rental Deal is made when you arrive in store and pick up your gear. If BOTH Turoa and Whakapapa are closed for 4 days or more (excluding Alpine Meadow/Happy Valley) during your week, you will be refunded for the days the ski area(s) were closed. If you feel the need, we can service your rented skis/boards free of charge after 3 days use up the mountain. This rate is based on a 7 day rental period!

Equipment is to be returned by 6pm on the final day of rental.

USE OF THE HIRED EQUIPMENT

The rental equipment is for the customer's personal use only. No possibility of subletting or lending even gratuitous use by other is permitted.

The customers are the sole judge of their ability to use the rented equipment. The customer attests to be able to use the rented equipment and pledges to use it cautiously, at no risk for third parties in accordance to the regulations in force.

All rental equipment is in good condition and shall be returned as such. The equipment being numbered or marked shall be returned with the same numbers and the same mark. Any damage - regardless of the cause - will require direct payment to SLR for the repair or replacement cost of up to the rental price of new equipment, in addition to the cost of hire

Equipment is to be returned by 6pm on the final day of rental.

PAYMENT METHOD:       SECURE PAYMENT BY CREDIT/DEBIT CARD

SLR entered into a service agreement with eWAY for electronic business;

eWAY handles trade security and ensures secret data protection (deciphering keys) and management.

When making payment, customers are automatically connected to the payment processing centre's server. Data, protected by encryption, do not transit through our systems and are therefore not stored by us in anyway.

Financial costs (bank charges in connection with the exchange rate, banking commission for payment transactions made outside the territory where the card was issued, and other banking commissions) that may be tied to payments by credit/debit card will remain the customers' responsibility.

An order is considered final when payment in full is received by us in accordance with the above procedures and an electronic confirmation with an attached voucher is issued to the customer. Customer is required to print and present the voucher.
