We rent to businesses only. “You” is the lessee – the company we sign the agreement with; “we” is VORHE (Archive Ignacy Staszewski, ul. Śląska 46B/17, 41-100 Siemianowice Śląskie, Poland, tax ID (NIP) 6351866478, registered in CEIDG).
1. Pricing
| 7 days | 10% of the vorhe.co price, net |
| Minimum | PLN 150 net per piece |
| Extra day | 1/14 of the weekly rent |
| Deposit – Poland | 20% of the price, min. PLN 300 per piece |
| Deposit – other EU country | 50% of the price, min. PLN 500 per piece |
| Included | steaming and garment bag |
| Cleaning after the rental | per the cleaner’s invoice |
Example: a PLN 2,000 piece – PLN 200 net for 7 days, PLN 14.29 net for each extra day, deposit PLN 400 for a Polish company.
- Rent is based on the vorhe.co price of the piece on the day the agreement is made. A rental shorter than 7 days is charged as 7 days.
- Net prices. Polish businesses pay 23% VAT on top. Businesses in another EU country whose EU VAT number is active in VIES on the invoice date get an invoice without Polish VAT (reverse charge); otherwise 23% VAT is added.
- The deposit is refundable and not subject to VAT. Any part of the deposit applied to rent or cleaning is invoiced with VAT; any part applied to a contractual penalty or damages is documented with a debit note.
- You pay the rent and deposit by bank transfer against a pro forma invoice, within 3 days of signing and before hand-over.
2. What you can rent and cancellation
- Pieces in the VORHE store priced at PLN 1,000 or more, except consignment items and new, unworn footwear. Cheaper pieces are not available for rent.
- Once the agreement is signed and the rent and deposit are paid, we take the piece off sale on all channels for the rental period. Before that, the piece may sell.
- First rental: pieces priced up to PLN 5,000 each. Above that – after one completed rental or with a deposit of 50% of the price.
- We ship within the European Union only.
- Parcels both ways, insured for the full value of the pieces, are paid by you. On request we order courier labels at your cost.
- Until the agreement is made we may decline a rental without giving a reason, and remove a piece from the list and the quote.
- Until hand-over of a piece we may withdraw from the agreement as regards that piece for a serious reason: the piece has been damaged, has not come back from the previous lessee or has become unavailable for reasons beyond our control. We notify you by email without delay, at the latest on the planned hand-over date, and refund the rent and deposit for that piece within 3 working days; at your request we offer a replacement piece. After hand-over we cannot remove a piece from the agreement. Beyond the refund you have no other claims, unless the damage was caused intentionally.
3. Wear, cleaning and damage
- Normal signs of wear from the set cost nothing. Refreshing after the return (steaming, airing) and the garment bag are included.
- Washing and cleaning are not normal wear. If a piece needs it after the rental (stains, make-up, self-tan, perfume, smoke, sweat odour), you pay the cost per the cleaner’s invoice plus VAT.
- Damage: you pay the cost of repair or specialist cleaning per the workshop’s invoice, plus the loss of value. We document the condition with photos at hand-over and after the return.
- If a piece is lost or cannot be repaired, you pay a contractual penalty equal to the value of the piece stated in the agreement (its vorhe.co price on the day the agreement is made). We may claim damages above the penalty. Paying the penalty does not transfer ownership of the piece to you. If a piece treated as lost comes back to us within 6 months, we refund the penalty less the fee for the days after the due date, the cost of cleaning or repair and the loss of value.
- An extension at half the daily rate (1/14 of the weekly rent per day) applies only if agreed by email before the return date. For each day of use after the return date without such agreement, you pay a fee equal to the full daily rate (1/7 of the weekly rent, at least 1/7 of the minimum) plus VAT.
- If a piece is not returned within 7 days of the due date, after an unsuccessful email reminder with an additional 2 working days we treat it as lost: you pay the contractual penalty equal to its value plus the fee for the days after the due date.
- We inspect the pieces within 5 working days of the return and refund the deposit by bank transfer within 3 working days of the inspection. We set off all amounts due under the agreement, including penalties, interest and costs. If they exceed the deposit, you pay the difference within 7 days of the invoice or debit note.
4. Agreement and liability
- These terms form part of the rental agreement we sign with your company (Annex 1). We also send them to you as a PDF before signing, and in the agreement you confirm you received them. If the agreement says otherwise, the agreement prevails. Your own general terms do not apply. You can view the agreement template, filled in with your form details and cart, in advance.
- The agreement states the project the rental serves within your business, and the value of each piece. Pieces may be used only in that project – not worn privately, sublet or used outside the project. They may not be altered, hemmed, dyed or taped without our consent.
- A booking is binding once the agreement is signed and the rent and deposit are paid. We hand over the pieces only after that payment. If you do not pay within 3 days of signing, we may withdraw from the agreement within 14 days of the payment deadline.
- Until hand-over you may withdraw: free of charge more than 72 hours before hand-over, later against a withdrawal fee of 50% of the net rent. The withdrawal takes effect when the fee is paid; we may deduct it from the rent paid. We refund the rest of the rent and the deposit within 3 working days.
- The rental period runs from the day of hand-over (for shipping – dispatch) to the day of return (for shipping – delivery to us). For pick-up, hand-over takes place when the pieces are handed to you. We hand over the pieces to the person named in the agreement or presenting your authorisation by email; that person signs the record.
- From hand-over to return, including transit, you are liable for loss of and damage to the pieces, including by contractual penalty, for all circumstances, also without your fault: theft, robbery, fire, flooding, accident, the actions of the carrier, cast, crew and third parties – except damage caused by our fault. Any compensation from the carrier is credited against what you owe. You are responsible for the people you entrust the pieces to on set as for your own acts.
- You report loss, theft or damage to us by email within 24 hours, and theft also to the police.
- You check the condition and completeness of the pieces at hand-over and report any issue by email, with photos, within 24 hours. After that, the pieces are deemed handed over in the agreed condition, unless the defect was not visible on ordinary inspection.
- The pieces are pre-owned, often archival. Visible flaws are described in the agreement or shown in photos. You check size, fit and suitability for the project before booking; we are not liable for these features.
- Our liability to you on any ground – including failure or delay in hand-over, defects of the pieces and the carrier’s actions – is limited to the rent paid for that rental. We are not liable for lost profits or production costs such as a shoot day, crew, cast or location. If we fail to hand over a piece through our fault, we refund the full rent and deposit or, with your consent, provide a similar piece. This limit does not apply to damage caused intentionally or through gross negligence, or to personal injury. Our deadlines are extended by the duration of force majeure.
- Late payments bear statutory interest for delay in commercial transactions and compensation for recovery costs (EUR 40 up to PLN 5,000, EUR 70 up to PLN 50,000, EUR 100 above). You may not set off your claims against amounts you owe us, unless we have acknowledged your claim in writing or it has been confirmed by a final judgment.
- Consents and notices are sent by email. The agreement is governed by Polish law. Disputes are resolved exclusively by the common court competent for VORHE’s registered seat (Art. 46 of the Polish Code of Civil Procedure; for lessees from other EU countries – Art. 25 of Regulation (EU) 1215/2012). The agreement is made in Polish or in English; in case of discrepancy the Polish wording of these terms prevails.
5. Photos from set and credit
- If your project allows it, credit us as Wardrobe: VORHE and tag @vorhe.co.
- You grant us a free, non-exclusive licence, unlimited in time and territory, to use photos and videos from the project in which the rented pieces appear (stills from the final material, set and behind-the-scenes photos) to show our work: on vorhe.co, on our social media, in our portfolio and in our offers. Fields of use: recording and reproduction by any technique, storing in computer memory and networks, making available online at a time and place of our choosing, and cropping or resizing without changing the content. The licence includes the right to sublicense the operators of the services on which we publish, to the extent necessary for publication. The parties exclude termination of the licence. Cropping and resizing without changing the content do not infringe the integrity of the work – you warrant that you have the author’s consent to this if you are not the author.
- We publish only after the project is released, or from a date you set in the agreement. If the project is confidential, mark it in the agreement and we publish nothing without your consent by email.
- The licence covers material you hold the rights to. Where the rights belong to someone else (e.g. the production or the photographer), we ask them for consent before publishing.
- Showing a person’s image requires that person’s consent. If we want to show a shot in which someone can be recognised, we ask that person or their management for consent directly. Without it we show only the pieces, or shots in which people cannot be recognised. We use our image release (PDF) or the same consent by email.
- Anyone shown in our material may withdraw their consent by email to contact@vorhe.co. We then remove the material from our channels.
6. Lessee’s declaration and right of withdrawal
- By entering into the agreement you declare that you do so in the course of your business, and that renting wardrobe for the project named in the agreement is of a professional nature for you, arising from the subject of your business (in particular styling, film, photographic or advertising production).
- If, nevertheless, as a natural person running a business you were entitled to consumer rights under Polish law: (a) in the agreement you request hand-over of the pieces and the start of the rental before the end of the 14-day withdrawal period, and you know that if you withdraw you will pay for the rental period up to the day the pieces are returned, in proportion to the rent (Art. 35 of the Polish Consumer Rights Act), and that once the rental has ended the right of withdrawal expires (Art. 38(1)(1) of that Act); (b) these terms apply to the extent they do not infringe your statutory rights; (c) you may withdraw by email to contact@vorhe.co, e.g. using the model below (Annex 3 to the agreement).
