[QUOTE="Brian jojade, post: 137821, member: 211"] Re: System usability and where does the hirer responsibility end? With a dry hire, that means equipment only. The customer is responsible for the equipment while it is in their possession. If it gets damaged or stolen, it's their dime to repair or replace it. If they want you to come in and move it, that's beyond the scope of dry hire and would then necessitate them paying for that service. If that wasn't communicated ahead of time, then the order is changed to include it and it should be billed accordingly. If they wanted a system that was easily broken down each night, they should have specified that, which would have changed the quote that you gave to start with. Change orders are common place. It's not always the supplier's fault when the customer doesn't know what questions to ask. In fact, often times customers will intentionally leave out details in hopes that they can squeeze the difference out of the supplier at no extra charge. Don't fall for that. [/QUOTE]
