General contract of hire    Royal Ascot contract of hire

Prices for hire range from £45-£145 for spring/summer and £45-125 for Autumn/Winter.

I am also able to post hats for hire after receiving payment and signing of the contract.(I offer a limited postal service during the month of June).  Please visit the Royal Ascot page for more information regarding Royal Ascot.

I can post hired hats to wherever you live by next day delivery. Postage is added to the hire charge. All details, payment and the contract must be completed before the hat is posted. Hat boxes must be returned in the condition given.  Please post Royal Mail special delivery insured upto £500,and please do not put tape directly on the box.

The hirer will be asked to sign an agreement at the time of booking. If the hat is lost or damaged then the amount payable is the value of the hat plus an extra hire charge.

The agreement states the value to replace the particular item if it is lost, stolen or damaged (including any dents, loss of decoration or water damage).

The value must be paid to Elizabeth Hughes (Lizzie’s Hats) by the customer should this happen.

Hire duration is for five days, if the hat is not returned within this period, I may charge for an extra hire.

Credit card details will be taken as a form of deposit and will only be deducted accordingly after discussion with the hirer and myself.

Cancellation of the hire of a hat must be made no less than one week before the event in order for a refund to be issued.

If a hat leaves the shop it is considered a hire even if not worn.

I understand that the English weather is inevitable, but care should be taken when wearing a hat/headpiece in the rain and should be kept under an umbrella at all times as all hats/headpieces are very vulnerable if subjected to rain and is considered damaged.

The hat hire fee is for one wear (one occaision) only, and is strictly non-transferable.  Hats should not be passed to third parties to wear and if you wish to wear for more than one day then you should discuss this with Lizzie first please. There will be fines if this is not adhered to and hats are spotted on any other person but the hirer.  The hats must be returned in person and not via a third party unless previously discussed with Lizzie.

PAYMENT FOR HIRE OF MUST BE MADE AT TIME OF BOOKING. 

All hat boxes must be returned.

Thank you for your co-operation and custom.
