1. PRODUCTS AND QUALITY

​

Balloonbay only uses the very best professional materials to ensure the best quality, we do not use decorations or balloons supplied by our clients.

Balloonbay takes no responsibility for the condition of your balloon decorations once we've departed from your venue, we always take photographs to show that we've fulfilled your order. 

 

11" latex helium balloons float for an average time of 8-14 hours (depending on environmental conditions and handling), should you require your latex balloons last longer please let us know, so we can pre-treat them with Hi-Float which will enable your balloons float for 2-3 days instead of hours - small fee applicable.

Please be aware heat, cold and static could reduce float times or even burst your balloons.

All balloons supplied on "DATE OF EVENT" are intended to last for that event, unless otherwise agreed & clearly stated on your invoice.

Client understands that some decor items may be affected by temperature and humidity and that Balloonbay cannot be held responsible for the decor in uncontrolled climate, such as rain or extreme heat and/or unforeseen acts of nature. In that case, Balloonbay has the option of making changes to the decor in the best interest of Client. We NEVER guarantee perfect results with balloon decor outdoors. However, we further state that we will do everything in our power to make sure the decor will hold up by using the BEST quality of balloons.

​

You must ensure that at the time of agreed delivery of the Goods or Equipment adequate arrangements, including labour and access where necessary, are in place. We cannot be held liable for any damage, cost or expense incurred to the Goods, Equipment or premises where this arises as a result of a failure to provide adequate access or arrangements for delivery. An extra charge may be made by us where we spend additional time due to delays with access to the venue.

​

6. ON THE DAY AND ACCESS TO THE VENUE

​

Balloon decorating is very time consuming, where possible we try to bring as much of the job already made up to save time at the venue, but larger orders, such as arches, etc require us to construct your balloon decor at the venue. It is essential that you've hired the venue for adequate time before your event to allow us to complete our work, this will be discussed with you at the time of booking. We also require a contact name and telephone number for the keyholder, should we need to make access arrangements with them. In the rare event of your venue not being accessible at the times pre arranged we will not be held responsible for any problems arising from this and will move onto our next booking.

Once displayed, we do not recommend relocating any displays we create. We will always state arrival time on your order form, it is the clients responsibility to ensure this is arranged. Where venue's are closed/not ready we are not responsible for any incomplete decor.

Once your booking is confirmed your invoice will clearly state 'required installation time', please ensure your venue staff are fully aware of this and do not put your event at risk of delay. In the unlikely event this happens, no refund will be available. For health & safety reasons it is important that the venue allows undisturbed working space and power supply for full working time on site. Please inform venue staff of our requirements.  

​

7. HIRE OF EQUIPMENT

​

Some of our balloon displays require a hire of equipment. The hire period for the Equipment is for the period specified on the invoice. No extension to the hire period is permitted without our express written consent and receipt by us of the appropriate charge.

Full ownership in the Equipment shall remain fully vested in us at all times. You have no right, title or interest in the Equipment other than that you are entitled to hire the Equipment for the hire period.

You are responsible for the Equipment from the time we deliver the Equipment until the time you return the Equipment to us. Full risk in the Equipment shall lie with you during this time.

You are not permitted to hire, sub-let, sell, lend, or part with possession of the Equipment at any time.

Please ensure that the venue has in place adequate insurance to cover the Equipment against fire, theft, loss or damage at all times during the hire period.

You hereby indemnify us against any losses, costs, damages or expenses that we may reasonably incur as a result of your breach of any of these Terms and Conditions.

​

Hire these equipment require a refundable security deposit. The deposit is refunded to you on their safe return after inspection. Any lost or damaged equipment will be charged for and safety deposit will not be refunded. Unless specified in your invoice. Where hire equipment is left at the venue overnight, customer is still liable at all times. 

​

In the event of loss or damage, the security deposit will be retained by us and we will notify you in writing of the reasons. If the cost of replacement due to missing Equipment or damage is in excess of the security deposit, an invoice will be issued to you to cover the cost of the damaged/missing property which must be paid in accordance with the terms stated on the invoice. If the cost of replacement is less than the security deposit, the balance will be returned to you within 14 working days of the date of our assessment.
