The deposit will be subtracted from the total booking amount, and the balance is due on the day of the event. No equipment shall be released to The Customer until the full amount due has been cleared.

Should The Customer cancel the event, we will happily transfer your deposit to another event as long as a minimum of 7 days notice is provided. Within 7 days prior to the event date, we are unable to transfer event dates or packages unless arranged by us in exceptional circumstances. The deposit amount is non refundable should you decide to cancel your booking with us without giving adequate reasoning.

Should you decide to change your date, or package, this must be done a minimum of 7 days prior to the event. Any change to the booking will be dependent on The Company’s availability at that time, and The Company makes no guarantee that changes to the booking can be accomodated.

Our equipment is suitable for all weathers except for very strong wind and heavy rain. The covers on our inflatable pubs are weather and waterproof so are still suitable for all but extreme weathers. The Company will only cancel the hire if they deem the weather to cause a health and safety risk, or a risk or damage to The Goods. In this case, The Customer will receive a full refund for any payments made.

Gas blower heaters can be used during winter months as long as the heater is positioned so as not to touch or point directly at the walls of the inflatable pub. We do not supply any heaters, and any heaters intended for use at the event will have to be checked and confirmed suitability by The Company before use. We will not be liable for any damage caused by the use of heaters which are not supervised or supplied by The Company.
