The equipment is available for hire by the clubs for 6-month periods. Please review the QKR Equipment Library Policy.

Equipment hire policy

Applies only to new bogu sets

• Initial deposit non-refundable: $300
• Monthly hire fee: $20/month with 6 months upfront hire fee
• Maximum hire term: 6months. After 6 months (or earlier) you can decide whether to return the equipment or purchase it.

Total initial cost is $420.

If you decide to purchase the equipment you will only need to pay the balance of the value of the bogu set from what you have already paid in deposit and hire fees (see the table below for the equipment cost).

Example: Balance after 6 months: $650 – $420 = $230 ($500 – $420 = $80 for student)

If you decide to return the bogu set before the 6 months limit, QKR will refund you the un-used monthly fees.

Example: If after 2 months you return the set, the QKR will refund you 4 x $20 = $80 (6 months – 2 months = 4 months).

All items are offered on a first-come first-served basis.
