Immediate Steps to Take:
Inform the Owner: If you spot any damage while inspecting the equipment, immediately bring it to the attention of the equipment's owner.
Document with Photos: Capture clear photographs of the observed damage, ensuring the images show the issues distinctly.
Provide a Detailed Description: Write a comprehensive description of the damage, specifying the affected parts and the extent of the wear or damage.
Email the Evidence: Send the photographs and your written description to our support team at help@sharegrid.com. This ensures we maintain a record of the damage and can assist in any potential disputes or clarifications later.
