Rental Agreement + Deposits

AGREEMENT, made between Bounce House Atlanta, LLC, referred to as the “Service Provider”, and  Renter referred to as “Client”.  

For purposes of this AGREEMENT, Service Provider will deliver to Client all the Product(s) and items listed on Client’s Rental Invoice (hereinafter referred to as “Product”). Each Rental Invoice is subject to this AGREEMENT and incorporated herein. 

Delivery Policy 

To address specified by the customer, the customer grants the right to enter said property for the delivery and pickup of the rental equipment at approximately specified times. The client is responsible in the case that vehicle(s) are unable to enter or entrance is delayed. Once Bounce House Atlanta arrives at the event address any changes to the event address may result in additional travel charges, reduced event run-time, and/or cancellation of the event without refund. Inflatables and other large item setups require direct access to setup location, using a wheeled dolly, with a minimum five (5) foot clearance with grades less than 5%. Indoor setups may require double doors with the center pole removed or roll-up doors with a minimum 5-foot wide clearance. Setup location must be accessible without the use of stairs. If there are stairs that are disclosed on the setup detail form, photos must be sent of the stairs at a maximum of two (2) days after booking. The Bounce House Atlanta team will then evaluate if they will be able to deliver using the stairs and will charge extra fees up to $300. Setup locations that require the use of an elevator are considered difficult and clients may be billed for additional setup and/or take downtime at a rate of $40 per man hour billed in 1/2 hour increments. Failure to notify the provider of stairs, grades more than 5%, and/or set up locations with limited access as defined here-within may result in a reduced rental period and/or cancellation of event or rentals with the client responsible for the entire balance of this contract with no refunds. The client is responsible for answering all follow-up questions about access conditions accurately, or items may not be delivered and a refund may not be offered.

If Bounce House Atlanta is not given the 3-hour delivery window as required, Bounce House Atlanta cannot promise a on-time setup. Extra fees will apply if less than a three-hour delivery window is provided.

The CLIENT is responsible for providing power within 50ft of the inflatable (there are some cases more outlets will be needed dependent on type of inflatable). If power is not within 50ft of the inflatable, the CLIENT is REQUIRED to rent a generator from Bounce House Atlanta or provide their own pulling at least 9000W. If the renter does not add a generator onto the invoice and Bounce House Atlanta has to return to the warehouse to retrieve one, an additional cost of $350 plus labor and gas costs will be automatically drafted with the card on file. Should the Client decline, Bounce House Atlanta will not provide service and will not issue any refunds.

Cancellation/Refund Policy + Remaining Balances 

This contract, after signing, is a legal and binding contract. To cancel or reschedule, sufficient notice must be given – the day before your event by 8am. Cancellation after sufficient notice has begun forfeits any refund and the full amount is due. Postponement of the event may entitle you to use all or part of any payment made towards a timely rescheduled event at our availability. Any rescheduled event is subject to the availability of activities at the time of notification of postponement. Any cancellations made within 5 days of your event will lead to a loss of your deposit which may be used as a credit for a future event. Any cancellations 6 or more days in advance may be eligible for a refund.

ANY PAYMENTS INCLUDING FULL PAYMENTS OR DEPOSITS FOR EVENT ATTENDANTS, FACE PAINTERS, BALLOON ARTISTS, CAKE, CUPCAKE, COOKIES, CHARACTERS, OR MAGICIANS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE and MUST be fully paid if only deposit was put down.

Bounce House Atlanta will deliver RAIN OR SHINE! Please make sure to let us know of any cancellations before the cutoff of the day before by 8am in order to retain your deposit as a raincheck.

REMAINING BALANCES are due the day before your event by 8am. If our staff does not see the remaining balance has been paid the day before your event by 8am, we will automatically run the card on file. It is the clients responsibility to pay remaining balance in given timeframe. Failure to do so may result in cancellation of your event without refunds of any and all payments made. 

Cleaning Policy / Fees

No food, drinks, silly string, gum, candy etc is allowed in or on the inflatable. At pickup, the driver will do a quick analysis of the unit to ensure none of the mentioned violations occurred to the unit. When cleaning the inflatable after your event, we clean the seams and every other inch of the inflatable. If there is any food, drinks, silly string, gum, or candy, there will be a $150 CLEANING FEE automatically drafted from the card on file. 

PET WASTE MUST BE REMOVED PRIOR TO OUR ARRIVAL. If we encounter pet waste, we will ask you to remove it. If not removed, there will be an additional service and cleaning fee.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES is soap permitted on any inflatables. Not only is this a safety risk but it can also DAMAGE the inflatable which is INTENTIONAL. Repair fees are to the expense of the client.

After Client completes testing of the Product, Client must notify Service Provider or its agents of any defective or inoperable Product immediately upon discovering the defect.
