Hi,
Not sure if this is posted in the correct area, so my apologies if it isn’t.
I have just started up a very small business hiring out 1-metre tall wooden “love” letter light up display mainly for weddings and engagement parties in Queensland
We deliver, set up and pack down the display ourselves each time and we provide a small sign next to the display stating to keep clear and do not touch the display but unsure what else we need to do.
The only risks I can think of that are possible although very unlucky are:
- the letters are pushed over on top of a person causing injury/death
- the possibility of an electrical fault causing a fire which damages the building/venue
Would you recommend some kind of insurance? Is there anything we could be sued for in the unlucky event that our display causes damage to a person or property under insurance law?
Can we have in our terms and conditions that the hirer accepts all responsibility once the display is delivered and set up?
Thanks in advance for your help,
