You will only use the equipment as it was intended to be used in conjunction with the manufacturer’s and Adventure Bairns instructions.

Equipment Condition: All Adventure Bairns Equipment is carefully selected and maintained to ensure they are safe, clean, and fully functional. As part of our commitment to sustainability, many items of our Equipment is gently used. This means you may notice small signs of wear, but nothing that affects safety, performance, or overall appearance.

Wear and Tear: Reasonable wear and tear is expected during the Hire Period. This includes minor cosmetic scuffs or signs of use that naturally occur with careful handling. Excessive damage, neglect, or misuse may result in repair or replacement charges, as outlined in our Hire Agreement.
