Tidy Riders Child Car Restraint Installation Terms & Conditions

These Terms & Conditions apply to child car restraint installations, inspections, safety checks and adjustment services provided by Tidy Riders.

1. Our Service

Tidy Riders provides professional child car restraint fitting, installation, inspection and safety check services.

Tidy Riders operates as an independent child restraint fitting business. Our installers are appropriately accredited for the services they provide and installations are completed in accordance with applicable Australian requirements, manufacturer instructions and recognised child restraint fitting practices.

The purpose of an installation or safety check is to ensure that the restraint is fitted and adjusted as safely and appropriately as reasonably possible for the vehicle, restraint and information available at the time of the appointment.

2. Child Restraint Standards

Child car restraints used in Australia are required to comply with the applicable Australian Standard, including AS/NZS 1754 where applicable.

Tidy Riders will only install or inspect restraints that are suitable for use in Australia and that meet applicable Australian requirements, subject to the condition and history of the individual restraint.

Tidy Riders may decline to install a restraint where it appears to be unsafe, damaged, expired, unsuitable for the vehicle or child, missing required components, subject to an unknown history, or otherwise unsuitable for installation.

Where Tidy Riders declines an installation for safety reasons, the hirer or owner remains responsible for determining an appropriate replacement or alternative restraint.

3. Customer Responsibility

The customer is responsible for providing accurate information about the vehicle, restraint and child for whom the restraint is intended.

The customer is responsible for ensuring that the restraint selected is appropriate for the child and vehicle.

Tidy Riders can provide general guidance about restraint suitability and installation but does not make the final decision on which restraint a customer purchases or uses.

The customer must advise Tidy Riders of any relevant information that may affect the installation, including previous modifications, known damage, previous crashes involving the restraint, changes to the vehicle, or any other known issue.

4. Installation & Safety Checks

During an installation, Tidy Riders will assess the restraint and vehicle and install or adjust the restraint using the manufacturer's instructions and applicable fitting requirements.

Where appropriate, Tidy Riders may provide education about:

• correct use of the restraint;
• harness adjustment;
• child positioning;
• tether straps and anchorage points;
• ISOFIX or other attachment systems;
• recline or adjustment settings; and
• ongoing checks and adjustments required as the child grows.

The customer is encouraged to ask questions during the appointment and should not leave the appointment if they are unsure how to use or adjust the restraint.

A safety check or inspection is an assessment of the restraint and its installation at the time of the appointment. It does not constitute a guarantee that the restraint will remain correctly installed or adjusted indefinitely.

5. Responsibility After Installation

Once the customer leaves the installation appointment, the customer is responsible for ensuring that the restraint remains correctly installed and is used in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

The restraint may require adjustment as the child grows or their circumstances change.

The customer should check the restraint regularly and before use, particularly after the restraint has been removed, adjusted, moved to another seating position or vehicle, or otherwise altered.

If the customer is unsure whether the restraint remains correctly installed or adjusted, they should arrange another inspection with an appropriately qualified child restraint fitter.

Tidy Riders is not responsible for changes made to the restraint or vehicle after the installation, including removal, reinstallation, adjustment, alteration or movement by the customer or another person.

6. Restraints With Existing Issues

Tidy Riders may identify issues with a restraint that existed before the appointment.

This may include:

• damaged or worn harnesses or straps;
• damaged restraint shells;
• missing components;
• incorrect or incompatible accessories;
• previous crash involvement;
• expired or unsuitable restraints;
• incorrect previous installation; or
• other defects or concerns.

Where an issue is identified, Tidy Riders will advise the customer where reasonably possible and may recommend that the restraint not be used.

Tidy Riders will not knowingly install or approve a restraint that is considered unsafe or unsuitable.

7. Vehicle Compatibility & Modifications

Not every child restraint is suitable for every vehicle or seating position.

Tidy Riders will assess the available seating position and installation requirements at the time of the appointment.

Where a safe and appropriate installation cannot be achieved, Tidy Riders may recommend an alternative seating position, restraint or installation method.

Tidy Riders does not modify vehicles or install additional anchorage points unless specifically authorised and appropriately qualified to do so.

The customer is responsible for ensuring that any required vehicle modifications or additional anchorage points are legally installed by an appropriately qualified person.

8. Vehicle Wear & Minor Damage

The customer understands that installing and using a child car restraint can result in minor or unavoidable marks to the vehicle.

This may include:

• indentations or impressions in vehicle seats;
• pressure marks;
• minor scuffing or marks to upholstery;
• distortion of seat fabric or cushioning;
• marks from seat belts or restraint components; and
• minor marks to leather or other vehicle surfaces.

Tidy Riders takes reasonable care when working in vehicles but cannot guarantee that these types of marks will not occur.

Customers should advise Tidy Riders before installation if their vehicle has delicate, premium or modified interior surfaces or any specific care requirements.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Tidy Riders is not responsible for normal or unavoidable wear associated with the installation or use of a child restraint, except where the damage is directly caused by Tidy Riders' negligence or intentional conduct.

9. Safe Use of Child Restraints

The customer acknowledges that travelling in a motor vehicle carries inherent risks and that child car restraints are designed to reduce the risk of serious injury in the event of a crash.

Correct installation is only one part of safe restraint use.

The customer remains responsible for:

• correctly securing the child in the restraint on every trip;
• ensuring the harness is correctly adjusted;
• following the restraint manufacturer's instructions;
• using the restraint in accordance with applicable Australian requirements;
• ensuring the restraint remains correctly installed;
• regularly checking the restraint; and
• obtaining further professional advice or an inspection when required.

Tidy Riders recommends following current Australian best practice guidance for the safe restraint of children in motor vehicles.

10. Changes, Adjustments & Reinstallation

Customers must not assume that a restraint remains correctly installed after it has been removed, moved or adjusted.

If the restraint is moved to another vehicle, another seating position or significantly adjusted, a new installation or safety check may be required.

Tidy Riders is not responsible for an installation after the customer or another person has altered, removed, reinstalled or adjusted the restraint.

11. Cancellations & Appointments

Customers should provide as much notice as possible if they need to cancel or reschedule an appointment.

Where a customer does not attend an appointment or provides insufficient notice to reasonably allow the appointment to be rebooked, Tidy Riders may retain any applicable booking fee or charge a cancellation or missed appointment fee.

Where Tidy Riders needs to cancel or reschedule an appointment due to illness, unsafe weather, vehicle access issues or other circumstances outside reasonable control, Tidy Riders will provide as much notice as reasonably possible and arrange an alternative appointment where available.

12. Customer & Vehicle Access

For mobile installations, the customer must provide safe and reasonable access to the vehicle at the agreed location.

The vehicle should be parked in a safe, accessible location with sufficient space for the installer to work.

Tidy Riders may postpone or decline an installation if the location or vehicle cannot be accessed safely or if conditions present an unreasonable risk to the installer or customer.

13. Liability

The customer understands that travelling with children in motor vehicles involves inherent risks and that no child restraint or installation can completely eliminate the risk of injury in a motor vehicle accident.

Tidy Riders takes reasonable care when performing installation and safety check services. However, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Tidy Riders is not responsible for loss, injury, illness, death, damage or other harm arising from:

• a motor vehicle accident;
• incorrect use of the restraint;
• incorrect harness adjustment;
• failure to secure the child correctly;
• failure to follow manufacturer instructions;
• changes or adjustments made after the appointment;
• removal or reinstallation of the restraint by another person;
• use of a restraint in a manner contrary to its intended purpose;
• failure to disclose relevant information about the restraint or vehicle;
• circumstances outside Tidy Riders' reasonable control; or
• the inherent risks associated with travelling in a motor vehicle.

Nothing in these Terms & Conditions excludes, restricts or modifies any right, guarantee, warranty or remedy that cannot legally be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law or any other applicable law.

Nothing in these Terms & Conditions limits Tidy Riders' liability for loss or damage caused by Tidy Riders' own negligence, to the extent that such liability cannot legally be excluded.

14. Indemnity

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the customer releases and indemnifies Tidy Riders against claims, loss or damage arising from the customer's misuse of the restraint, failure to follow manufacturer instructions, failure to follow applicable requirements, or alteration, removal or reinstallation of the restraint after the Tidy Riders appointment.

This indemnity does not apply to loss or damage caused by Tidy Riders' own negligence or other liability that cannot legally be excluded.

15. No Guarantee of Crash Outcome

A professional installation is intended to ensure that the restraint is fitted correctly at the time of the appointment.

However, Tidy Riders does not guarantee that a child will avoid injury in the event of a motor vehicle accident.

The outcome of a motor vehicle accident can be affected by many factors outside the control of Tidy Riders, including vehicle impact, crash severity, direction of impact, vehicle damage, road conditions and other circumstances.

16. Professional Advice & Scope of Service

Tidy Riders provides child restraint fitting and safety information within the scope of its training and accreditation.

Tidy Riders does not provide medical, legal, engineering or other specialist advice outside the scope of the fitting service.

Where a child's individual needs, a vehicle modification, medical condition or other specialised circumstance requires advice outside the scope of a standard fitting appointment, the customer may be referred to an appropriately qualified professional.

17. Acceptance of Terms

By booking, attending or accepting a child car restraint installation or safety check service from Tidy Riders, the customer acknowledges that they have had the opportunity to read these Terms & Conditions and agrees to comply with them.

The customer also acknowledges that they remain responsible for the correct ongoing use of the restraint after the appointment and should seek further professional assistance if they are unsure about its installation or use.

6. Child Car Restraints & Baby Capsules

All child car restraints and baby capsules supplied by Tidy Riders for hire are selected to meet the applicable Australian child restraint requirements and are maintained and inspected by Tidy Riders.

Tidy Riders inspects child restraints before and after each hire period. Equipment is checked for condition, cleanliness, operation and any visible damage before being provided to another customer.

• ensure the restraint is correctly fitted to the vehicle before use;
• ensure the child is correctly secured in the restraint each time it is used; and
• seek professional assistance if they are unsure how to correctly install or use the restraint.

Where Tidy Riders provides an installation service, this does not remove the hirer's responsibility to ensure that the restraint continues to be used correctly and safely each time the vehicle is driven.

The hirer must not alter, modify, remove or replace any component of a child restraint without prior approval from Tidy Riders.

Food & Soiling

Food is not permitted to be consumed while using a hired child car restraint or baby capsule.

Beverages other than water should not be consumed while the child is secured in the restraint.

Food, milk, beverages, bodily fluids, excessive dirt or other heavy soiling may result in a cleaning fee.

Tidy Riders will determine any cleaning fee based on the extent and severity of the cleaning required.

Hirers must not attempt to clean, wash, dismantle or otherwise treat a child restraint themselves, as incorrect cleaning may compromise the restraint or breach manufacturer requirements.

This may include:

• impressions or indentations in vehicle seats;
• marks or impressions from restraint components;
• minor scratches or marks to leather or other vehicle surfaces; and
• marks or impressions from vehicle seat belts or other restraint components.

8. Prams, Baby Carriers & Other Equipment

Prams and other equipment must be stored indoors when not in use.

They must not be stored outside on patios, verandas, balconies or similar areas, and must be protected from direct sunlight, rain, moisture, damp areas and excessive heat.

The hirer must take reasonable care to prevent damage, staining, mould, mildew, fading or deterioration caused by inappropriate storage or use.

The hirer must not attempt to repair or modify the equipment themselves.

Tidy Riders will assess the issue and, where appropriate, arrange repair, replacement or an alternative solution.

11. Safe Use & Suitability

This includes considering the child's age, size, developmental needs, vehicle, intended use and any other relevant circumstances.

The hirer is responsible for reading and understanding the manufacturer's instructions and ensuring that the equipment is used correctly.

13. Liability & Indemnity

The hirer understands that the use of child restraints, baby capsules, prams, baby carriers and other baby or child equipment involves inherent risks.

In relation to child restraints and baby capsules, the hirer acknowledges that travelling in a motor vehicle carries inherent risks and that the correct use of a child restraint is an important part of reducing those risks.

The hirer is responsible for ensuring that all equipment is used safely, correctly and in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and applicable laws and standards.

Tidy Riders Free Child Restraint Safety Inspection Terms & Conditions

These Terms & Conditions apply to free child car restraint safety inspections provided by Tidy Riders.

1. What is a Safety Inspection?

A Tidy Riders safety inspection is a brief visual assessment of a child car restraint and its installation.

The purpose of the inspection is to identify obvious concerns with the restraint, its installation or its use and to provide the customer with general information about any issues identified.

A safety inspection is not a full child restraint installation or comprehensive fitting service.

The inspection is intended to provide general guidance and identify potential issues. It does not guarantee that a restraint is completely safe, correctly installed or suitable for every circumstance.

2. Who Conducts the Inspection?

Safety inspections are conducted by either:

• a fully accredited Type 1 child restraint fitter; or
• a trainee child restraint fitter working under the direct supervision of a fully accredited Type 1 child restraint fitter.

Where a trainee conducts the inspection, the supervising Type 1 fitter remains responsible for the inspection and is available to oversee the assessment.

3. Scope of the Free Inspection

The inspection may include a visual assessment of:

• the general condition of the restraint;
• visible damage or wear;
• the restraint's apparent installation;
• harnesses and visible components;
• tether straps and anchorage points;
• visible installation concerns;
• the child's apparent use of the restraint; and
• other obvious issues that can reasonably be identified during a visual inspection.

The inspection does not include the removal, complete reinstallation or comprehensive adjustment of the restraint.

The inspection is based on what can reasonably be assessed at the time of the appointment and does not involve dismantling the restraint or vehicle.

4. Minor Adjustments

At the discretion of the installer, minor adjustments may be made during a safety inspection where they can be completed safely and reasonably within the scope of the inspection.

Examples may include minor harness adjustments or correcting an obvious, easily rectifiable issue.

More involved adjustments, removal and reinstallation of a restraint, changing installation methods, moving a restraint to another seating position or vehicle, or completing a full installation will incur the applicable Tidy Riders installation fee.

Where additional work is recommended, the customer will be advised of this and any applicable fee before the work is undertaken.

The decision to proceed with a paid installation or additional work remains entirely at the customer's discretion.

5. Inspection Report

Where a customer chooses to proceed with the safety inspection only and does not request a full installation, Tidy Riders may provide an inspection report identifying issues or concerns observed during the inspection.

The report is intended to provide the customer with useful information to assist them in addressing the identified issues.

The report may include general recommendations or information about adjustments that may be required.

The report does not constitute confirmation that the restraint is safe, correctly installed or suitable for the child or vehicle.

Where a customer chooses to make their own adjustments following an inspection, they remain responsible for ensuring that the restraint is subsequently installed and used correctly.

6. Customer Responsibility

The customer remains responsible for the selection, installation, adjustment and ongoing use of their child car restraint.

Customers are responsible for:

• ensuring the restraint is appropriate for their child and vehicle;
• following the manufacturer's instructions;
• ensuring the restraint is correctly installed;
• correctly securing the child in the restraint;
• checking the restraint regularly;
• making appropriate adjustments as the child grows; and
• arranging a full professional installation where they are not confident making the required adjustments themselves.

Information provided by Tidy Riders during a safety inspection is general in nature and is provided based on the circumstances and information available at the time of the inspection.

Customers should seek a full professional installation where they are unsure how to correctly install or adjust their restraint.

7. No Installation Guarantee

A safety inspection does not constitute an installation or certification of a child restraint.

Tidy Riders does not guarantee that a restraint is correctly installed, safe for use or suitable for the child or vehicle following a safety inspection.

A restraint may appear satisfactory during a visual inspection while still having issues that cannot reasonably be identified without removing or reinstalling the restraint.

Tidy Riders does not guarantee the ongoing safety or correct installation of a restraint after the inspection.

If the customer subsequently removes, adjusts, reinstalls or otherwise changes the restraint, responsibility for the resulting installation rests with the customer.

8. Child Restraint Standards

Child car restraints used in Australia are subject to applicable Australian requirements and standards, including AS/NZS 1754 where applicable.

Tidy Riders may identify apparent concerns relating to compliance, suitability, condition or installation during an inspection.

Where a restraint appears damaged, expired, unsuitable or otherwise unsafe, Tidy Riders may recommend that it not be used and may recommend replacement or a full professional assessment.

A free safety inspection does not constitute formal certification or legal approval of a restraint.

9. Existing Damage & Restraint History

Customers should provide accurate information about the restraint, including any known previous crash involvement, damage, modifications, repairs or changes.

Tidy Riders may recommend that a restraint not be used where there are concerns about its condition, history or suitability.

Tidy Riders cannot determine the complete history of a restraint where this information has not been provided or is otherwise unknown.

10. Vehicle Wear & Damage

The customer understands that child restraints can cause normal marks or impressions to vehicle seats during installation and use.

This may include:

• indentations or impressions in vehicle seats;
• pressure marks;
• minor marks to upholstery or leather; and
• marks from seat belts or restraint components.

Tidy Riders takes reasonable care when inspecting restraints but cannot guarantee that these marks will not occur.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Tidy Riders is not responsible for normal or unavoidable vehicle marks associated with the use of a child restraint, except where directly caused by Tidy Riders' negligence or intentional conduct.

11. Liability

The customer acknowledges that travelling in a motor vehicle with a child involves inherent risks and that correct use of a child restraint is an important part of reducing those risks.

A safety inspection is intended to identify obvious concerns but cannot eliminate all risks associated with travelling in a motor vehicle or using a child restraint.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Tidy Riders is not responsible for loss, injury, illness, death, damage or other harm arising from:

• incorrect use of a child restraint;
• incorrect installation or adjustment carried out by the customer or another person;
• failure to follow manufacturer instructions;
• failure to act on information provided during the inspection;
• changes made to the restraint after the inspection;
• use of a restraint that Tidy Riders has not installed;
• circumstances that could not reasonably be identified during a visual inspection; or
• the inherent risks associated with travelling in a motor vehicle.

Nothing in these Terms & Conditions excludes, restricts or modifies any right, guarantee, warranty or remedy that cannot legally be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law or any other applicable law.

Nothing in these Terms & Conditions limits Tidy Riders' liability for loss or damage caused by Tidy Riders' own negligence, to the extent that such liability cannot legally be excluded.

12. Recommendations for Further Work

Where Tidy Riders identifies an issue that requires more extensive adjustment or installation, the customer will be advised of the recommended service and any applicable fee.

The customer may choose to:

• proceed with a paid installation or adjustment;
• make the adjustment themselves using the information provided; or
• seek assistance from another appropriately qualified child restraint fitter.

The customer is not required to proceed with a Tidy Riders installation following a free inspection.

13. Acceptance of Terms

By attending a Tidy Riders free safety inspection, the customer acknowledges that they have had the opportunity to read these Terms & Conditions and understands that the service is a visual safety inspection and not a full child restraint installation.

The customer acknowledges that they remain responsible for the correct installation, adjustment and ongoing use of their child restraint.

Tidy Riders Cleaning & Detailing Terms & Conditions

These Terms & Conditions apply to cleaning and detailing services provided by Tidy Riders for child car restraints, baby capsules, prams, SNOO bassinets and other baby or child equipment.

1. Cleaning & Detailing Service

Tidy Riders provides cleaning and detailing services intended to remove dirt, debris, stains and general soiling from baby and child equipment.

Tidy Riders will carry out cleaning with due care and diligence and will take reasonable steps to prevent damage to the item being cleaned.

Cleaning methods will be selected based on the type, construction and manufacturer's care requirements of the individual product.

The customer acknowledges that cleaning is a physical process and that some incidental wear, fading, discolouration or other changes to a product may occur during cleaning, particularly where an item has been heavily soiled, aged or previously exposed to wear.

2. Condition Before Cleaning

Customers should advise Tidy Riders of any known damage, defects, previous repairs, missing components or other concerns before an item is cleaned.

Tidy Riders may identify existing damage or deterioration during the cleaning process that was not reasonably visible beforehand.

Tidy Riders is not responsible for pre-existing damage, deterioration, fading, weakened materials or defects that become apparent during or following cleaning.

Where Tidy Riders considers an item to be unsuitable for cleaning due to its condition, construction or other concerns, Tidy Riders may decline to proceed with the service.

3. Cleaning Results

Tidy Riders will make reasonable efforts to achieve the best possible cleaning result.

However, a completely stain-free or "as new" result cannot be guaranteed.

Some stains, discolouration, odours and embedded dirt may be permanent or may not be able to be completely removed without using cleaning methods that could damage the product.

The age, condition, material, previous use and level of soiling of an item may affect the final result.

4. Child Car Restraints & Baby Capsules

Child car restraints and baby capsules can be particularly difficult to clean due to their construction.

Certain areas of a restraint shell, harness system, padding or other components may have limited access, meaning that dirt, debris or soiling cannot always be completely removed.

Tidy Riders will make reasonable efforts to clean accessible areas and remove dirt and soiling without compromising the integrity of the restraint.

The customer acknowledges that some areas may remain partially soiled where access is restricted by the physical construction of the restraint.

Tidy Riders will not dismantle, modify or alter a child restraint beyond what is permitted by the manufacturer's cleaning and care instructions.

5. Cleaning of Safety Equipment

Where the item being cleaned is a child car restraint, baby capsule or other safety-related product, Tidy Riders will follow applicable manufacturer cleaning instructions and appropriate cleaning practices.

The customer must not request or expect Tidy Riders to use cleaning methods that are contrary to the manufacturer's instructions or that could compromise the safety or integrity of the product.

Where a particular component cannot safely be cleaned using the manufacturer's recommended methods, Tidy Riders may leave that component untreated or partially treated.

6. Britax Child Restraint Height Marker Disclaimer

Britax has acknowledged a manufacturing defect affecting certain batches of child restraint covers where the printed height markers may wash off, rub off, fade, discolour or otherwise deteriorate, including when the cover is cleaned using gentle washing methods in accordance with the manufacturer's cleaning instructions.

Where a Britax child restraint is cleaned or detailed by Tidy Riders and the height markers subsequently wash off, rub off, fade, discolour or otherwise show signs of this known defect, the customer acknowledges that this may be the result of the existing manufacturing defect rather than incorrect cleaning or negligent servicing by Tidy Riders.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Tidy Riders accepts no responsibility for deterioration or loss of the height markers where this known manufacturing defect occurs.

Where this occurs, the customer should contact Britax directly regarding replacement of the affected cover set.

The customer acknowledges that the occurrence of this defect may be unavoidable where an affected cover is cleaned, including where Tidy Riders has followed appropriate cleaning methods.

7. Additional Servicing & Repairs

Cleaning and detailing does not include repairs, replacement of components or other servicing unless specifically agreed.

During the cleaning process, Tidy Riders may identify components that are loose, damaged, worn, missing or otherwise require attention.

Examples may include loose restraint components, damaged plugs or fittings, worn hardware, rivets, screws, washers, spacers, O-rings or other product-specific components.

Where additional servicing or replacement parts are recommended, Tidy Riders will advise the customer where reasonably practicable.

Any additional cost for parts, servicing or repairs will be discussed with the customer before the additional work is undertaken.

The customer may choose whether or not to proceed with additional servicing.

8. Existing Damage & Deterioration

The customer acknowledges that baby and child equipment can experience wear and deterioration through normal use.

This may include:

• fading;
• discolouration;
• fabric deterioration;
• weakened stitching;
• worn plastics;
• scratches;
• scuffs;
• rust or corrosion;
• deterioration of foam or padding; and
• deterioration of other materials.

Cleaning may make existing damage or deterioration more visible.

Tidy Riders is not responsible for damage or deterioration that existed before the cleaning service or that becomes apparent as a result of the cleaning process where reasonable care has been taken.

9. Customer Responsibility

The customer is responsible for providing accurate information about the item's condition and any known defects or concerns before cleaning.

Customers should remove personal belongings and loose items from prams, capsules, car restraints and other equipment before the item is provided for cleaning.

Tidy Riders is not responsible for personal belongings, loose items or items left inside equipment that are lost, damaged or discarded during the cleaning process.

10. Equipment Returned After Cleaning

Customers should inspect their equipment when it is returned following cleaning.

Where a customer believes that damage has occurred during the cleaning service, they should notify Tidy Riders as soon as reasonably possible so that the matter can be assessed.

Tidy Riders will consider any reported concerns fairly and will assess whether the issue appears to have resulted from the cleaning service, pre-existing damage, normal wear or another cause.

11. Liability

Tidy Riders takes reasonable care when cleaning and detailing equipment and will use cleaning methods appropriate to the product wherever reasonably possible.

However, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Tidy Riders is not responsible for incidental wear, fading, discolouration, deterioration or damage that occurs as a result of the inherent characteristics, age, condition or construction of the product, where reasonable care has been taken.

Tidy Riders is also not responsible for pre-existing defects or damage that become apparent during or after cleaning.

Nothing in these Terms & Conditions excludes, restricts or modifies any right, guarantee, warranty or remedy that cannot legally be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law or any other applicable law.

Nothing in these Terms & Conditions limits Tidy Riders' liability for loss or damage caused by Tidy Riders' own negligence, to the extent that such liability cannot legally be excluded.

12. Acceptance of Terms

By booking or providing an item to Tidy Riders for cleaning or detailing, the customer acknowledges that they have had the opportunity to read these Terms & Conditions and agrees to them.

The customer acknowledges that cleaning is intended to improve the cleanliness and presentation of an item but cannot guarantee the removal of all stains, dirt, odours or existing deterioration.

The customer also acknowledges that some products, particularly child car restraints, have construction limitations that may prevent complete cleaning of every area.
