These are the Terms and Conditions for Hire of Bouncy Castles, Inflatables and Hire Equipment which are based on the standards set out by the Health and Safety Executive and the Local Authority. Please read these carefully. By making a booking with us you acknowledge and accept these Terms and Conditions.

It is the responsibility of the person/s hiring the equipment to ensure that all the reasonable steps are taken to avoid injury or cause damage to the equipment. Please ensure that the following safety instructions are followed:

1. NO Adult should use any of the equipment supplied by Bounce & Party. All equipment supplied by Bounce & Party is solely for children's use. These units are intended for use by persons below the age of 14 YEARS (below 16 years with permission of the management on certain equipment). Please ensure no persons over this age uses the equipment.

2. A RESPONSIBLE ADULT (OVER 18 YEARS OF AGE) MUST BE SUPERVISING THE EQUIPMENT AND CHILDREN AT ALL TIMES. No person under the influence of drink or drugs should supervise or operate the equipment. Also a responsible adult, the hirer (over 18 years of age) must be present at the delivery address during delivery and collection.

3. You may be requested to provide 2 forms of ID with at least one photo and your home address. For example your driving license, your passport, a recent utility bill or bank statement. On delivery we may also request to take a photograph of the responsible person alongside the equipment for additional security purposes (Any photos taken will be deleted on collection of equipment). We reserve the right to refuse hire.

4. Please have the remaining balance payment in cash ready to pay on delivery (unless you have paid by credit/ debit card, bank transfer or any other method in advance). Sorry we do not except cheques or card payments on delivery.

5. If you do not have payment ready on delivery we reserve the right to cancel your booking. Equipment will not be setup in advance of receiving payment.

6. Always ensure the equipment is not overcrowded, and limit numbers according to the age and size of people using it. ALWAYS AVOID A MIX OF LARGE AND SMALL CHILDREN AT THE SAME TIME.

7. DO NOT allow anyone to bounce on the front step as children could easily bounce off the inflatable and get hurt. The step is there to assist users to get on and off! Always enter and exit the inflatable from the front of the step and not the sides. Any safety mats supplied are to be kept in position and users must enter and exit the bouncy castle via the matted area (Full adult supervision required!).

8. Ensure that no person with a history of Heart, Neck or Back Problems, High Blood Pressure, Joint Weakness or any person with a history of known medical disabilities are allowed to use the equipment. Also any person who feels unwell should be removed immediately.

9. Climbing, hanging or sitting on the side walls is DANGEROUS and MUST NOT be allowed.

10. Children should not be pushing, colliding, fighting, attempting somersaults, wrestling, running or behaving in a manner likely to cause injury, damage or distress to others or the equipment.

11. Do not allow anyone to be on the inflatable during inflation or deflation as this could damage both the equipment and injure the user.

12. Where applicable ensure a safety zone of 6 feet (2 metres - subject to initial safety survey) around the equipment is kept clear at all times and anchor points are accessible. Occasionally check that the inflatable equipment is securely anchored/pegged down.

This will avoid both choking hazards and potential soiling of the equipment. Cleaning charges apply. A cleaning charge is normally from £50.00 but maybe more depending on the severity of the soiling. Any soiling damage will be charged as per contract.

15. Do not glue/stick/attach or hang any notices or signs to the bouncy castle and equipment as this can cause injury to the users and this normally also leaves a sticky residue on the equipment which is very difficult to remove and could cause damage to any printed graphics on the castle. Cleaning and damage charges will apply.

16. ACCIDENTS: In the event of an accident occurring, please notify us immediately by telephone on: 07949 837 154. Full details must be recorded in writing, including: name and address of injured party, date, time and place of incident, circumstances of accident, responsible supervising adult. A copy of the report must be provided on collection.

17. Once the inflatable has been set up/erected by Bounce & Party, do not move or reposition the inflatable without our permission. Failure to comply may result in injury to users, any insurance invalidated and also damage to our equipment. Any damage caused by the Hirer moving or repositioning the inflatable without our permission shall deem the Hirer liable for full repair or replacement costs in addition to any loss of business as a result of such loss or damage as per hire contract.

18. Please leave the inflatables running at all times, even during light rain. However, it is strongly recommended that the inflatable should not be used in high winds or wet conditions. Please only switch off the inflatable during extremely high winds and/or torrential rain. After rain showers, any wetness including bubbling (which is normal) can be dried with the aid of a towel. We reserve the right to cancel and/or collect the equipment at any time if severe weather warning comes into force.

19. In the event that the blower stops working, ensure ALL users exit the inflatable immediately. Make sure the blower tube has not come loose, the deflation zip is still closed and that nothing is obstructing the blower. Failing all this, please contact us on 07949 837 154 for further assistance.

20. Always use the RCD plug provided (where applicable). Only used electrical equipment supplied by us, as all electrical equipment is fully tested to the appropriate Health and Safety Guidelines by a qualified electrician and fitted with British Standard approved connections. These connections are splashproof (except RCD's) and can be left out in wet weather although do not allow them to become submerged in water.

21. Do not allow any person to interfere, adjust or repair any electrical item, even if qualified to do so. Failure to do so may result in additional cost for replacement or repair of damage parts.
