3. Services & Products

3.1 Description of Products and Services The Company offers a range of party equipment for rent, including but not limited to bounce houses, water slides, wet and dry combos, tables, chairs, obstacle courses, and heaters. The Company also provides related services, such as delivery, setup, and teardown of the rented equipment.

3.2 Rental Periods The rental period for the Products shall be specified in the rental agreement between the Customer and the Company. The rental period will generally start from the time of delivery and setup of the Products at the event location and end upon the completion of teardown by the Company. The Customer may be charged additional fees for any extension of the rental period beyond the agreed-upon timeframe.

3.3 Availability and Reservations The availability of the Products is subject to change without notice. The Customer is encouraged to make a reservation in advance to ensure the desired Products are available on the date of their event. A reservation is considered confirmed upon receipt of a non-refundable deposit, as specified in the rental agreement. The Company reserves the right to substitute Products of similar quality and functionality if the reserved Products become unavailable due to unforeseen circumstances.

3.4 Pricing and Payment Terms The rental fees for the Products and Services, as well as any applicable taxes, delivery fees, and other charges, will be specified in the rental agreement. The Customer agrees to pay the full rental fee and any other charges in accordance with the payment terms set forth in the rental agreement. The Company reserves the right to charge a late fee for any overdue payments, as well as to recover any costs incurred in collecting such overdue payments, including reasonable attorney's fees and court costs.

3.5 Cancellations and Refunds: Cancellations by the Customer: If a customer cancels their reservation for any reason after a payment has been made, there will be no refunds issued. Once a reservation is confirmed, the product is removed from our inventory, preventing other customers from booking the same item for that date. If the cancellation is due to circumstances beyond the customer’s control (e.g., inclement weather conditions on the event day), we will provide a full raincheck for the total amount paid. This raincheck will be valid for 365 days from the original payment date and can be used to rebook the rental for a future date. Cancellations by the Company: We reserve the right to cancel reservations for any reason, including but not limited to equipment failure, inclement weather, or other unforeseen circumstances. In the event that we must cancel, customers will receive a full raincheck for the total amount paid. This raincheck will also be valid for 365 days from the original payment date and can be used to rebook the rental on a mutually agreed date. Rainchecks are non-transferable and must be used within the 365-day period. No refunds will be issued under any circumstances, including cancellations initiated by the customer or the company.

3.6 Delivery, Setup, and Teardown The Company will deliver, set up, and tear down the rented equipment at the event location specified by the Customer in the rental agreement. The Customer is responsible for ensuring that the event location is suitable for the setup and operation of the rented equipment, including adequate space, level ground, and access to necessary utilities. The Company reserves the right to refuse setup of the equipment if the event location does not meet the necessary requirements, in which case the Customer will be responsible for the full rental fee and any other applicable charges.
