Terms and Conditions for Hire
Keeping everyone safe…
Health and Safety might seem a little over the top these days, but we take it very seriously – because we really care. The last thing anyone wants is a great event being ruined by unfortunate accidents or mishaps. For insurance reasons we also need to ensure that you are aware of all the rules and regulations surrounding your hire.
For that reason, we ask that you carefully read and sign our Terms and Conditions for Hire when we deliver your bouncy castle or other hire equipment. You can download and print off a copy of the document byĀ clicking hereĀ if you would like to take a look before the date of your hire.
