Terms and Agreement
NOTE:
Inflatables, jumpers, moonwalks, bounce houses, are used interchangeably to describe our products.
CONDITIONS:
Terms and Agreements are between Bounce Castle Fun, LLC, and Customer.
Delivery and Pickup
All reservations are for an 9 hour period. Deliveries are made between 8 am and your desired delivery time and pickups are made from your desired pickup time up to 3 hours after. We strive to be on time for all customers, therefore we require a window time of 1-3 hours for Delivery and Pickup. Our drivers make their best effort to accommodate your desired delivery and pickup times, but because of traffic and unexpected events, the times are Not Guaranteed.
Delivery times should be arranged about 1-2 hours before the start of your event. The person who made the reservation or who made payment must be present during the time of delivery to sign for the rented products. The customer is required to check the rented unit and all tie downs before the driver leaves because there is No Guarantee that the driver can return before Pickup Time. Due to supply chain shortages and a limited supply of drivers, some orders may be delivered later than anticipated. Please notify us when there is an event start time to help us prioritize delivery routes.
Pickups will begin from your requested time, and not before, but can range up to 3 hours after (since drivers have more than one order, they may be delayed). Customers will be responsible for any fees associated with Airbnb, short-term rental properties, custodian overtime fees, staff, or building service personnel costs needed to allow drivers access to rented products.
Inflatables can be set up on grass, concrete, or asphalt. A $100 cleaning fee applies for each inflatable to be set up on Sand or Dirt. Customer MUST notify Bounce Castle Fun, LLC. during reservation if setup will be on Sand or Dirt. Hills or slight inclines in the setup area should be a maximum of 5 degrees. Gates and walkways have to be a minimum of 3.5 feet wide for all inflatables and 5 feet wide for our 17′ Fun Slide, Despicable Me Combo, and Medieval Bounce Castle.
Customer MUST inform Bounce Castle Fun, LLC. of any steps (or stairs) present to the setup area. A maximum of 10 steps allowed for rental of any product, no steps allowed for the 17′ Fun Slide. If steps surpass the maximum allowed there will either be a Delivery Fee applied or a reservation will be canceled and a cancellation fee will be applied.
Water products require a regular garden water hose (not provided by Bounce Castle Fun) within range of the setup area. Water Slides DO NOT come with any mats or cushions to be placed under the pool area for when users slide down. If a customer wishes to place mats for extra cushion, they need to provide it during the delivery time to the driver. Water should be turned off when the water product is not being used. Inflatable water slides are not engineered to flow water like waterparks. Water pressure needs to be low to function properly AND prevent flooding in backyards.
Use of water slides; other than the 12-foot, or 15-foot tropical pool splashes into a residential/commercial underground, or above-ground chlorine, or saltwater, pools are not allowed. Improper use may result in additional fees. Bounce Castle Fun, LLC is not liable for damages/injury from improper use of our rented products resulting from customer/guests relocating rental products after the initial install, and/or water damage from water slide drainage/run-off.
NOTE: If the driver is not able to set up the unit because of the customer’s negligence to inform of any steps, suitable surface, or access requirements then Bounce Castle Fun, LLC. will have to cancel the order as “Undeliverable” and a delivery/cancelation fee will be charged.
Site Preparation
The customer must make sure the setup area is ready (i.e. lawns mowed, vehicles/obstacles out of the way, animal feces removed, setup location cleared) before the driver is scheduled to arrive. If the setup area is not ready or accessible when the driver arrives, or if rented products cannot be moved directly to the area (extra handling involved) the customer may be charged an additional delivery fee. If the setup area is not prepared, the driver might be forced to leave and/or reschedule your delivery at a later time, in which case a delivery fee will be applied.
Bounce Castle Fun, LLC. is not responsible for damages, alterations, or cosmetic changes to surface areas caused by our rented products setup for any amount of time. Inflatables may ruin grass or turf. If there is a concern about the setup area being damaged or altered, please choose a cement setup area as a setup location.
The customer assumes responsibility for any damage to underground utilities, landscaping, water lines resulting from product setup. Bounce Castle Fun, LLC does not assume responsibility for utilities damaged by installation. Please be ready to inform the driver of the existence of any underground utilities (i.e. sprinkler systems, phone lines, gas lines, septic system, etc.), that may interfere with the ability to stake and/or anchor products. It is recommended you contact SC811 at 8-1-1 or visit sc811.com before our arrival to be informed of any underground utilities in your area.
