How the deposit works
The refundable deposit is held against damage while the machine is with you. We take photos of the machine at delivery and again at return. If there's no damage beyond normal use, the full deposit is returned. You're liable for damage, held against the deposit. Full details will be in our hire terms, which are still a draft.
No deposit or payment is taken on this site during pre-launch.
