Document background
The Machinery Hire Agreement is a essential legal document used when one party wishes to hire machinery or equipment from another party without transferring ownership. This agreement, governed by English and Welsh law, is particularly important in industries requiring temporary use of expensive or specialized equipment. It protects both parties by clearly defining their rights and obligations, including payment terms, maintenance responsibilities, insurance requirements, and liability limitations. The agreement ensures compliance with relevant legislation including the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982 and various health and safety regulations.
