The hirer warrants that the person signing the delivery note is duly authorised to do so on behalf of the Hirer and the person signing this delivery note warrants that he/she is duly authorised to sign on behalf of the hirer. It is admitted that the person signing the delivery note had the opportunity to inspect the hired equipment and confirm the equipment is received in good condition.
