Rental Terms and Conditions:

  1. Payment

By entering this agreement, you authorise Rent Club to charge the selected payment method according to the terms outlined in this agreement. You certify that you are authorised to use this credit card/account and you agree not to dispute the payment with your provider if Rent Club fulfils its responsibilities in providing the rental item(s).

You also authorise Rent Club to charge the supplied payment method for any additional fees as outlined in this agreement (such as damages or late return fees). If a charge against the supplied payment method cannot be made, we will provide you with an invoice for the fees which you agree to pay within 5 working days.

If for some reason, your payment for an order is reversed or rejected, you agree to pay the outstanding amount within 48 hours of demand. Failure to do this will result in immediate cancellation of the booking. If the item(s) have already been dispatched you will still be liable for the full amount.

Rent Club reserves the right to take all steps necessary to recoup any amounts owing as per this agreement, including the use of debt collection agencies and taking legal action. This may increase the amount owed by the customer, to cover the costs of these services.

 

  1. Identification

In some cases, after you’ve placed an order via our website, you may be asked for a passport, driver’s license or other forms of identification. If this isn’t provided, Rent Club reserves the right to refuse the booking. 

 

  1. Rental Period

After a booking for a clothing rental or try-on appointment is made via our website, you will receive a booking confirmation via email.

The rental period you have selected for your rental is 'inclusive'. For example, a 4-day rental period can mean that your item will arrive by Friday and you will post it back on Monday. In this example, both the Friday and the Monday are included in the 4-day period. We suggest booking your delivery or collection date 1-2 days prior to your event date.

All postal hires are sent via Express Post. You will be sent the tracking information to your email. Once the tracking information is sent to you, it is your responsibility to follow the tracking updates for the delivery of your parcel. Delivery is not guaranteed until 6:00pm on your chosen delivery start date and 5:00pm for local collections.

 

  1. Customer Cancellations and Refunds

Rent Club does not offer refunds for cancelled or exchanged orders, strictly a store credit only, minus a cancellation fee. The store credit will have a 3-year expiry. 

Cancellation requests received 14 days prior to the dispatch or collection date, you will be entitled to store credit equating to the amount paid, including postage, minus a cancellation fee of $20

Cancellation requests received within 14 days prior to the dispatch or collection date, you will be entitled to store credit equating to the amount paid, including postage, minus a cancellation fee of $30

If a request to exchange the order is made 14 days prior to the dispatch or collection date, there will be no $30 cancellation fee. If the client exchanges an item with a lower price then the difference will be credited to the client. 


  1. Cancellations by Rent Club

Rent Club may cancel your booking, for any reason. The compensation to you will be limited to the amount you paid to Rent Club for the booking and postage. Rent Club will not be responsible for any consequential damages that result from cancellation of the booking.

Reasons Rent Club may cancel your booking include, but are not limited to:

  • The item is damaged by a customer that has rented the item prior to you.

  • The item is lost or stolen by a customer that rented the item prior to you.

  • It is deemed that it is not possible to deliver the item to you in time for your booking, due to previous late return by a customer, or for any other reason, such as postage network delays.

In all cases above, you will be entitled to a full refund. The refund will be processed to the payment method used to make the order. The refund may take 1-10 business days to reach your account. 


  1. Postage and Late Delivery

Rent Club is not liable for any delays or late delivery through Australia Post or StarTrack. We cannot be held accountable for any late or lost deliveries as this is the fault of a third party. 

In the case of late delivery, we can issue store credit but strictly no refunds. The store credit will be equivalent to the total value of your order - hire price and shipping cost. To be eligible for a store credit, the hire must be posted back to us within 24 hours of the item being delivered, unless otherwise discussed. The store credit will have a 3-year expiry.

Postage is only available within Australia. Our services are not available outside of Australia.

You will receive Australia Post tracking updates to your email and/or mobile number once your hire has been dispatched. If you do not receive this information, please check your junk / spam folder and/or contact us immediately. It is your responsibility to monitor the tracking information and update us if the item has not been delivered once the tracking information has been sent to you. 

If the item has been delivered by Australia Post and marked as 'Delivered - Left in a Safe Place' and you cannot locate the package, please contact us immediately so we can contact Australia Post and help you locate the package. If Australia Post has marked the item as 'Delivered' and Australia Post is deemed not liable for a lost package, then you will be liable. 

Rent Club will include 'Signature on Delivery' for items with a high retail value (such as items valued at over $700 AUD). This additional service will come at no additional cost to the customer. This service is used to protect the item, Rent Club, and the customer, and reduce the possibility of theft or the loss of the item during the delivery process. You will be notified via tracking updates whether your item includes this service. If this is the case, you must ensure you are able to sign on delivery or retrieve the parcel from Australia Post. 


  1. Incorrect or Faulty Items

If you open your delivered parcel or collected hire garment to find that you have the incorrect item, please contact us immediately. If there is enough time, we will do our best to get you a replacement so you still have something to wear.

If you find that the item is correct, but has other issues (e.g. damage, faults or noticeable stains), please let us know within 24 hours of receiving the item, and prior to wearing the item. If you don't let us know within this timeframe, we reserve the right to refuse a refund as it will not be clear when the damage was caused or by who. You should do this even if you believe you will still wear the item, as you may be offered a discount. More importantly, it will mean you won't be charged for the damage.

You acknowledge that the items being sent to you are not brand new and may have some signs of wear and tear. A refund may not be granted if the issue is considered minor, insignificant, or the wearability is not affected.

All garments owned by Rent Club are for rental purposes and are subject to general wear and tear (such as small stains, marks, fabric pulls, and changes in the elasticity of the material). Items that have visible wear and tear, faults, or alterations will have this information noted in the condition information tab on the product web page. Minor faults or wear and tear may not be disclosed if deemed insignificant.

In all cases, you will need to wait for the item to be returned to us and assessed, prior to a refund, discount, or store credit being approved and processed.


  1. Issues with Fit or Appearance

We try to provide as much information as we can regarding the fit of the items available for hire on our website. We take no responsibility if you choose a size or item which does not fit you or does not suit you. Although we will do our best to help you with any questions, if you need specific information on the sizing of an item, we recommend contacting the brand directly. 

Nonetheless, if a garment does not fit quite right, our fit policy takes this stress away! If your item doesn’t fit then you’ll receive store credit minus a $30 cancellation fee and shipping fees

Please note: the below steps must be followed within 24 hours of receiving your rental in order to qualify for store credit.

  1. On the day you receive your item, you must contact us via hello@rentclub.au or Direct Message us on Instagram at @rentclubau
  2. Place your garment into the prepaid return satchel provided and take the parcel to your local Australia Post Post Office or place it in a yellow Express Australia Post box (before the post box collection cut-off time). Make sure to take a photo of the receipt or the post box. The item must be returned within 24 hours of delivery to be eligible for store credit
  3. Once your unworn garment is delivered back to us and assessed, we will issue the store credit minus a $30 cancellation fee and shipping fees. This credit note will have a 3-year expiry.


  1. Return of Items

All postal items rented from us will be delivered with a prepaid Australia Post Express satchel. This satchel must be used to return the items back to us. If you don't receive this, please let us know immediately once you receive your delivery.

Items should be returned over the counter at an Australia Post store or depot, on or before the specified rental return date at 3:00pm. This date will be confirmed in your rental agreement. If your Rental Return Date falls on a Sunday or a public holiday, you may post the item on the next business day.

If you lose the prepaid satchel, please contact us. We will send you a new shipping label via email or you can purchase one. If you purchase one, we can refund you for the unused satchel. This must be an Australia Post Express satchel. You must also contact us immediately and provide the new tracking number.

If for any reason you are not able to attend an Australia Post store or depot to post back the item over-the-counter on the Rental Return Date, please return the parcel via a yellow Australia Post Express street postbox before the collection time of the postbox on the Rental Return Date. This is at your own risk. If the parcel is lost and is never scanned by Australia Post, you may be liable for a replacement. You must take a time stamped photo of you lodging the parcel in the Express street postbox if you choose this option. 

Do NOT lodge this parcel using the RED Australia Post street postbox. This will cause a delay as these post bins are picked up infrequently and you will be liable for late fees.

All local hires rented from us must be returned directly to the collection address by 7:00pm on the specified rental return date. 

If a garment is damp or wet for any reason, please contact us immediately. Damp or wet items that are shipped can cause damage to the item, such as mould. If the garment is received back to us and is damaged by travelling damp or wet then you will be liable. The fee charged may be up to, but not more than, 150% of the original RRP of the garment.


  1. Late Return

If for any reason you post or return back the rental item(s) on a day after the Rental Return Date specified, late fees will apply. 

The fee charged for each day late will be your rental price divided by the number of days you've rented for, up to 120% of the original RRP of the item. For example, if you selected a 4-day hire and the rental fee was $100, late fees would be charged at $25 for each day late.


  1. Cleaning

Cleaning is included for all of our garments. Depending on the need of the garment, this may include standard hand-washing or dry-cleaning.

We know small accidents happen, and we clean all garments accordingly when they are returned after your rental. There will be no fees charged as long as stains can be removed by us. If the stains require dry cleaning or specialist cleaning then you will be charged the cost associated with this.

You agree to contact us immediately if there is a stain or any damage (even minor). This allows us to plan accordingly and provide you with instructions if cleaning is needed immediately. You agree that you will not attempt to clean the rental item(s) yourself, or have them cleaned by anyone else, unless otherwise discussed with us.

If you attempt to clean a garment and cause damage, or cause a stain to be permanent, Rent Club reserves the right to bill you a fee up to, but not more than 150% of the full RRP of the garment. 


  1. Damage or Loss

If an item is lost, stolen, or damaged beyond repair, whether or not such loss, theft, or damage is attributable to any negligence, failure, or omission of the Hirer, the Hirer will be liable for the replacement of the item. In the case that a garment cannot be restored to a suitable condition, the fee charged may be up to, but not more than 150% of the original RRP of the garment. In assessing the replacement value, Rent Club will take into account (i) the market value of the garment, (ii) the supply and availability of that garment, (iii) the condition of the garment, and (iv) any cancellations of pre-booked hires for that garment. 

If you damage or stain an item, do not attempt to repair or clean the item. We will take care of this. Do not cut, alter, pin, or hem tape any item booked via Rent Club. 

If an item is deemed lost by Australia Post, then you will not be liable. This is why it is important that you return the item by posting it over-the-counter at an Australia Post office or depot. By doing this, the item will be scanned and there will be a record of you posting the item in their tracking system. This will not happen when you put it into a street post box, as a system record won't be created until it reaches a scanning depot, and there will be no evidence of you having posted the item, meaning you would be liable for the loss.

By accepting this agreement, you give permission for Rent Club to charge fees for damages or loss of an item to the payment method you used when placing your order.  


  1. Fake Tan Policy

Use of fake tan is at your discretion. If it causes permanent staining that won't come out when cleaned, the damage policy (11. Damage and Loss) will apply. 


  1. Accidental Damage Protection

Rent Club offers Accidental Damage Protection to provide renters with peace of mind against certain types of damage that may occur during the rental period. This is optional at checkout for a fee.

Cost:

The price of Accidental Damage Protection varies with each order placed. Typically, it’s a higher price for a higher order value. The hire fee paid is usually aligned with the underlying value of the item, and the protection price gets higher as the value of the items increases. 

Coverage:

  • Repairable Accidental Damage: Covers costs associated with repairable damage such as broken zips, broken seams, holes, and additional stain removal. 
  • Maximum Repair Cost: Covers repair costs up to a maximum of $200 per rental.

What's Not Covered:

  • Damage Beyond Repair: Damage that renders the item irreparable is not covered. 
  • Loss: Loss of the item due to carelessness, theft, or other reasons is not covered. Returns which are lost in the post / lost in transit, where there is no evidence that the return was posted, in the form of online updates on the return tracking number, or a copy of an Australia Post lodgement receipt. 
  • Excessive Damage: Damage that exceeds the $200 repair fee is not covered. 
  • Non-Accidental Damage: If there is any evidence that the damage caused to an item was in any way deliberate, or that you were extremely careless in causing the damage, the protection will be void and won’t cover repair or replacement fees. You will still be liable for these fees. 
    • For instance, if there are many stains all over the garment, it will likely be considered recklessness or clear carelessness, and won’t be covered by Accidental Damage Protection, per the exclusions above. 
    • Damage or staining caused by the wearing of fake tan is not considered an accident. It is your responsibility to ensure you use tanning products that don’t cause permanent staining to garments. 
    • Damage caused during attempts to make alterations to the dress, even if temporary alterations (such as pinning), are not considered an accident. 

Responsibility for Excessive Damage:

  • If the damage to the item is irreparable or exceeds the $200 repair limit, the renter may be liable to cover the total estimated market value of the item, as determined by the Rent Club team. Please refer to our Damage Policy (12. Damage and Loss). 


  1. COVID-19

Orders cancelled due to COVID-19 lockdowns or restrictions are subject to the ordinary cancellation terms. However the cancellation fee will be waived and no period of notice for the cancellation is required.


  1. Try On Appointments

Appointments are 30 minutes long and cost a $10 try-on fee. This fee is non-refundable but can be redeemed against your hire. The hire must be confirmed within 10 business days of the appointment to redeem the fee. Otherwise, the $10 try on fee will be forfeited and you will not be able to put this towards your hire. 

Please contact us beforehand to check if specific items will be available during your try on before booking an appointment. If you book your appointment and the item is not available to try on, the $10 try on fee will not be refunded. 

If you need to cancel or reschedule, please do so as soon as possible. If you reschedule or cancel within 4 hours, the $10 try on fee will not be refunded. If you cancel your try on appointment, the try on fee will not be refunded. The fee will be converted to store credit which have a 3-year expiry.

 

  1. Postal Try Ons

We offer a Postal Try On Service on a case-by-case basis. The garment must be paid for in full. For instance, if the 4-day hire price is $100 then you will pay $100 and $24 for shipping. 

The garment must be returned within 24 hours of receiving the garment. Our Postage Policy (section 11) applies. You must lodge the item over the counter at an Australia Post post office and you must provide proof of lodgement. If the garment is not returned within 24 hours then the entire payment is forfeited and this will be treated as a 4-day rental booking. 

If the item is lodged within 24 hours of receiving the garment, then you will receive the payment for the hire in store credit only (less a $30 fee). If you choose not to proceed with the booking, you will not receive a refund. For instance, if the 4-day hire price is $100, you will receive $70 in store credit. This will have a 3-year expiry.

If the garment requires the payment of a bond, you will also be required to pay this bond. Our terms and conditions for hire still apply. Postal try ons are intended for fitting purposes only. If there are any marks/smells (tan, dirt, perfume etc.) then you will be charged a cleaning fee. You will be charged the entire hire price if we have reason to believe the item was worn. You are responsible for the garment during the time you have it and are liable for any damage or theft. Not all garments will be available to try on via post. Some of our garments are very popular and we won’t have time for a postal try on service. Please contact us to see if the garment you wish to try on is available. 


  1. International Travel

Our Garments are available for hire within Australia. If you plan to book a Garment to wear overseas, you must contact Rent Club and attain approval prior to booking via our website. Our Terms and Conditions still apply. For instance, if your baggage is lost by your airline carrier, you will still be liable for the replacement value. We may also require a Security Deposit which will be refunded at the end of the booking.


Thank you so much!
