Terms & Condition

TERM

The rental commencement is the day your item is delivered to your local drop off point or your home address.

The term expires the date you drop off your parcel at a DPD drop off point or get it collected from your home address – basically as soon as it’s in DPD’s possession and not yours!

If the item rented is not returned on or before the expected return date, EcoSki reserves the right to charge the Lessee additional rent for the extra time the items were in transit.

RETURNING YOUR RENTAL

We kindly ask that you return your items as efficiently and timely as we delivered to you.

In order to ensure no additional fees are applied, DPD must have received your returned items on the final date of your rental.

Any delays in returning your items may impact future customers and could incur additional costs at your end.

We do of course factor in some leeway in between rentals to allow for any unforeseen problems such as lost luggage or delayed crossings. Please email us at [email protected] if you think your items are going to be delayed so we can sort logistics at our end.

There is no need to clean any of the kit – the cleaning and re-proofing is all included in the price of your rental (hooray to no ski holiday washing!)

Please use the free enclosed returns label, which you will find at the bottom of your package, to return your items. Either re-use the packaging your items were sent in or re-use some old bags you have at home - don’t worry if they’re plastic - we re-use and recycle all our packaging end of life.

If you lose your shipping label (it happens) please email [email protected] with the subject title “missing shipping label for order xxx” and we will email you a replacement.

You can find your local DPD Drop off point here and/or arrange for collection from your home address if you’d prefer.&

We ask that you obtain and retain the DPD shipping receipt for all return shipping . In the unlikely event an item goes missing with DPD at least you then have proof that it was handed over to them and responsibility then lies with them, not you.

How do I know that item/s will fit?

If you aren’t sure whether the items you’ve ordered will fit then please do get in touch with us prior to delivery of your rental. We will happily help with sizing if you send us your measurements. We can also, subject to availability, send out items early for a try on. And if time permits we can send a replacement size to exchange before you head off on your hols.

We are here to help. We want you to be happy with your chosen items and we take pride in the way you look and feel in our kit.

Any other questions - just ask.

T’s and C’s

REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, AND AGREEMENTS

EcoSki (the Lessor) represents and warrants as follows:

  1. the Equipment is free from known defects and, although used, is in good working order to the best of its knowledge at the inception of the rental;
  2. Lessor is responsible for routine repair and maintenance of the equipment/items prior to rental.

You (the Lessee) agrees as follows:

  1. the Equipment is rented to the Lessee without any warranty or guarantee of any kind, express or implied;
  2. the Lessee is responsible for all costs associated with any additional repair or replacement of the equipment necessitated as a result of misuse. Basic repairs and general wear and tear are covered/included in the rental price.

USED EQUIPMENT

The Lessee acknowledges that the equipment/items may be used gear and may have slight cosmetic flaws. EcoSki does however warrant that the items, whether new or used, will be in proper working condition when leased to you. In the unlikely event that an item, as received, is not working properly, please notify us asap so a replacement or refund can be issued.

TYPOGRAPHICAL ERRORS

In the unlikely event a product rental rate is listed incorrectly due to errors in pricing information, EcoSki has the right to refuse or cancel any orders placed for products listed at the incorrect rate whether or not your credit card has been charged. Should EcoSki cancel the order, your account will be refunded for the incorrect amount paid asap.

OUT-OF-STOCK PRODUCTS

Although EcoSki holds multiple items, there may be occasions when a customer is either late in returning their equipment and/or the items are in the cleaning/repairs system for longer than anticipated. On these occasions, EcoSki will contact the customer to offer an alternative item - usually of better quality as a gesture of goodwill. EcoSki will of course inform the customer if any replacement item is likely to be sent. Giving the customer the option to chose a different item and/or ask for a refund. We do however think this is unlikely to happen.

SHIPPING

EcoSki use DPD for all their deliveries. As soon as your rental order has left our warehouse and is with DPD you will receive a text message and email confirming when your order will arrive. Please note this will come directly from DPD and not EcoSki so it’s important to keep an eye out for DPD messages. You will also have the option to amend your delivery to suit you. Of course if you have any concerns please do email us on [email protected] or message us via Instagram. Please don’t call as the phone lines aren’t always monitored. EcoSki will always aim to dispatch your item/s 1-2 days prior to your rental start date to allow for any unforeseen issues at your end. We encourage you to always book your rental commencement date for the day before you depart.

ADDITIONAL CHARGES

EcoSki charges a standard service fee of £8 per order to cover cleaning and insurance.

CANCELLATIONS

You may cancel an order at any point providing EcoSki has at least 48 hours prior notice before picking, packing and shipping the item. A full refund will be issued within 7 working days of cancellation. You may cancel an order once it has been shipped, but such cancellation will be subject to a full refund minus: 1 day rental rate + round trip shipping.

IF AN ITEM DOESN’T FIT

Your items will arrive with ribbons attached to the outside. Please do not remove these ribbons until you are confident you want to keep the items. We can send a replacement item out on a next day delivery service but please let us know before 12noon.

INSURANCE

EcoSki has a policy to cover general wear and tear and will cover the cost of minor repair work. If however any item is damaged beyond this, EcoSki will discuss the damage with you and agree a plan of action. In extreme cases we will invoice you for the full cost of replacing the item.

REPAIRS

EcoSki do not expect (nor want) you to carry out any repairs yourself. We also do not want you to alter the items to suit your own needs. Please do not take up or let down grow-with-me seams for example.

LOSS AND DAMAGE

The items are deemed to be in your custody and control once they have been delivered. If you lose the items or damage them beyond repair we would expect your insurance to cover the cost of replacement.

NON-WORKING EQUIPMENT

We would expect you to notify EcoSki within 3 hours of receipt of any malfunction and/or alleged damage. Please do not attempt to repair or modify the equipment yourself. Please return the non-working equipment to EcoSki who will either replace the non-working equipment with a functioning equivalent or issue a credit or full refund of all rental charges paid.

How to place an order

The selected Item(s) can then be transferred to your shopping cart by clicking on the "add to basket" button. You can either add more Items to you basket or proceed to the checkout by clicking on the "checkout" button located at the upper right corner of the page. You must then enter your delivery address and contact information as well as the delivery method of your choice. At this stage you can still remove or edit any Items stored in your basket. If different from the delivery address you can enter your billing address by unticking the "Use for my Billing Address" button. At this stage you can still remove or edit any Items stored in your shopping cart. The next page allows you to enter your payment information and check the order total. On this same page you can still edit your delivery and/or billing address, change the delivery method, or remove or edit the Items in your basket. Your order will be submitted at the time you press the "Place Order" button.

After placing an order, you will receive an email from us acknowledging that we have received your order. Please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted. Your order constitutes an offer to purchase the Items that you have selected on the basis of these terms and conditions. All orders are subject to acceptance by us, and we will confirm such acceptance to you by sending you an email that confirms that the Items have been dispatched (the "Order Shipping Confirmation"). The contract between you and us will only be formed when we send you the Order Shipping Confirmation (the "Contract").

The Contract will only relate to those Items whose dispatch we have confirmed in the Order Shipping Confirmation. We will not be obliged to supply any other Items which may have been part of your order until the dispatch of such Items has been confirmed in a separate Order Shipping Confirmation.

Your order will be fulfilled by the delivery date set out in the Order Shipping Confirmation, or if no date is specified, then within 30 days of the date of the Order Shipping Confirmation, unless there are exceptional circumstances.

We will normally verify prices as part of our dispatch procedure so that, where the correct price of the Items is less than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Items to you.

As the actual colours you see depend on your computer monitor or mobile device, however, we cannot guarantee and do not warrant that your monitor’s or device’s display of any colour will be accurate.

Written Communications

Applicable laws require that some of the information or communications we send to you should be in writing. When using ecoski.co.uk, you accept that communication with us will be mainly electronic. We will contact you by email or provide you with information by posting notices on our website. For contractual purposes, you agree to this electronic means of communication and you acknowledge that all contracts, notices, information and other communications that we provide to you electronically comply with any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.

Password

Registration as a user for access to certain areas on ecoski.co.uk or in connection with recurring visits or purchasing may require both a user name and a password or adherence to other particular access requirements as designated by us. Only one user can use one user name and password and, thus, one account. By limiting access, it helps avoid unauthorized usage by other persons, institutions, or entities because anyone with knowledge of both your user name and password can gain entry to the restricted portions of ecoski.co.uk and to your account.

Accordingly, by using ecoski.co.uk, you agree to consider your user name and password as confidential information and to keep your user name and password confidential. You will immediately notify us if you become aware of any loss or theft of your password or any unauthorized use of your user name and password. We will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with these obligations. We reserve the right to delete or change a user name or password at any time and for any reason. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall convey to you any further rights in your account or its information and any and all such content or information shall be subject to these terms and conditions.

Events Outside Our Control

We will not be liable or responsible for any failure to perform, or delay in performance of, any of our obligations under these terms and conditions that are caused by events outside our reasonable control ("Force Majeure Event").

A Force Majeure Event includes any act, event, non-happening, omission or accident beyond our reasonable control and includes in particular (without limitation) the following: strikes, lock-outs or other industrial action, civil commotion, riot, invasion, terrorist attack or threat of terrorist attack, war (whether declared or not) or threat or preparation for war, fire, explosion, storm, flood, earthquake, subsidence, epidemic or other natural disaster, impossibility of the use of railways, shipping, aircraft, motor transport or other means of public or private transport, impossibility of the use of public or private telecommunications networks, and the acts, decrees, legislation, regulations or restrictions of any government.

Our performance of our obligations under these terms and conditions is deemed to be suspended for the period that the Force Majeure Event continues, and we will have an extension of time for performance for the duration of that period. We will use our reasonable endeavours to bring the Force Majeure Event to a close or to find a solution by which our obligations under the Contract may be performed despite the Force Majeure Event.

Waiver

If we fail, at any time during the term of a Contract, to insist upon strict performance of any of your obligations under these terms and conditions, or if we fail to exercise any of the rights or remedies to which we are entitled under these terms and conditions, this shall not constitute a waiver of such rights or remedies and shall not relieve you from compliance with such obligations. A waiver by us of any default shall not constitute a waiver of any subsequent default. No waiver by us of any of these terms and conditions shall be effective unless it is expressly stated to be a waiver and is communicated to you in writing in accordance with the methods specified above.

Severability

If any of these terms and conditions or any provisions of these terms and conditions are determined by any competent authority to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable to any extent, such term, condition or provision will to that extent be severed from the remaining terms, conditions and provisions which will continue to be valid to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Entire Agreement

These terms and conditions and any document expressly referred to in them represent the entire agreement between us in relation to the supply of Items from ecoski.co.uk and supersede any prior agreement, understanding or arrangement between us, whether oral or in writing.

We each acknowledge that in agreeing to be bound by these terms and conditions, neither of us has relied on any representation, undertaking or promise given by the other or from anything said or written in negotiations between us prior to such agreement except as expressly stated in these terms and conditions.

Neither of us shall have any remedy in respect of any untrue statement made by the other, whether orally or in writing, prior to the date of any order (unless such untrue statement was made fraudulently) and the other party’s only remedy shall be for breach of contract as provided in these terms and conditions.

Terms of Use and Terms and Conditions of Sale
