Notification must be provided to ODH in writing via instagram direct message or email

08 CLIENTS RESPONSIBILITIES

8a) The client is responsible for the safe keeping of the garment from collection through to returning. The client agrees to the following:

    • Immediately notify ODH of any damages, defects or staining that occur to the garment. The garment has a greater chance of returning to its original state if staining is treated immediately
    • Maintain the safe keeping of the garment through keeping it in their own possession and control throughout the entirety of the hiring period
    • Maintain the quality of the garment, please care for the garment as if is your own. Avoid any direct contact with food, make-up, dirt, stamps, fake tan (we suggest having washed fake tan off at least twice to ensure all the bronzer/developer does not transfer), sharp objects/surfaces, jewellery and liquids

Failure to comply with the outlined client responsibilities will result in damage fees, dry cleaning fees or full RRP being charged. The hire fee paid by the client is not deducted from the replacement value of the dress. The garment must still be returned regardless of if it is completely damaged beyond repair or not for tax purposes. If the fees outlined are not paid within 14 days, the client’s details will be forwarded onto debt collectors to retrieve the costs or reported as stolen if not returned. The client is liable to pay the fee + recovery fees + any additional fees outline by the debt collectors
