**Responsibility of the Hirer**

It is the responsibility of the hirer to take all possible steps to avoid injury or damage to the inflatable. Please ensure that the following safety instructions are followed. Note that any damage or theft will be charged upon collection of the inflatable.

1. **Age and Height Limits**: All units have specific age limits and maximum user heights. Please ensure that no one exceeds these limits while using the equipment.

2. **Food and Drink**: No food, drink, or gum is allowed on the inflatable.

3. **Personal Items**: All users must remove their shoes, badges, and jewellery (e.g., large earrings, necklaces), and it is recommended that spectacles be removed before using the inflatable.

4. **Prohibited Items**: Party poppers, coloured streamers, or “silly string” must not be used near or on the inflatable, as they can permanently stain the unit.

5. **Substance Use**: No one is permitted to use the inflatable while under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or any other intoxicating substances. Smoking near the inflatable is also prohibited.

6. **Safety Rules**: Climbing, hanging, or sitting on the walls is dangerous and must not be allowed.

7. **Supervision Requirement**: The inflatable must be supervised at all times by a responsible person aged 18 or older, who is not under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

8. **Crowding**: Ensure that the inflatable is not overcrowded. Limit the number of users based on the age and size of the children. If children start colliding with each other, it is too crowded.

9. **Age Group Separation**: Avoid allowing large and small children to use the inflatable at the same time. Some children require strict supervision. Where adult use is permitted, adults and children are not allowed to participate on the same equipment simultaneously.

10. **Damage Policy**: Any damage deemed to be malicious or due to misuse will be charged to the hirer.

11. **Step Usage**: Do not allow anyone to bounce on the step/front apron; the step is meant for users to safely get on and off the inflatable.

12. **Health Conditions**: Ensure that no one with a history of back or neck problems uses the inflatable. Also, do not allow children with medical conditions that may place them at risk of injury (e.g., brittle bone disease or temporary injuries) to use the castle.

13. **Inflation/Deflation Safety**: Do not allow users to be on the inflatable during inflation or deflation.

14. **Weather Conditions**: In case of heavy rain, everyone must exit the inflatable and not re-enter until the rain stops and the inflatable is dry. It is strongly recommended to keep the inflatable turned on to prevent water from entering. Any wetness or bubbling can be dried with a towel. In high winds, the inflatable should be deflated.

15. **Blower Issues**: If the blower overheats or loses power, switch it off at the mains, then turn it back on after 1 or 2 minutes. If it does not restart, or in the event of a power cut, inform us immediately.

16. **Vent Maintenance**: Ensure that the vent on the side of the blower is kept clear at all times.

17. **Questions**: If you are unsure about anything, please contact us.

18. **Manufacturer’s Instructions**: All equipment must be used and operated by the manufacturer’s instructions and recommendations, including any limitations regarding height and age.

19. **Maximum Users**: No more than the maximum number of users specified for this inflatable is allowed at any one time.

20. **Cancellations**: If you cancel within 7 days, a fee of 50% of the booking will be due. If cancelled within 48 hours, 100% of the booking is due.

The machines can pose a potential hazard if hands or objects are placed in the bowl while the machine is in operation. The Customer and their guests are not permitted to use or touch the machines; they may only be operated by Funky Fun staff.

The Customer is responsible for ensuring that all children under 16 years of age are supervised at all times while near the machines and are not allowed to touch the machines or swing from the handles. Once the machines are in place, the Customer must ensure that they are not moved, lifted, or dismantled by anyone other than Funky Fun staff.

Funky Fun cannot be held responsible for any safety issues arising from the use of hired equipment or the consumption of sweet treats. Some ingredients may contain traces of nuts or nut oils and may have been stored in contact with nut products. Funky Fun is not liable for any issues resulting from food allergies. Allergen ingredient information will be made available upon request.

**Face Painting Guidelines**

1. **Age Restrictions**:
– Face painting is suitable for children aged 3 years and older.
– Children aged 2 years can have a small design painted on their hand only.
– Children under 2 years old cannot be painted.

2. **Health Considerations**:
– We cannot paint anyone who shows signs of a skin disorder, has an open wound, cold sores, conjunctivitis, or similar issues.

3. **Face Paint Removal**:
– Face paint should be removed using soap, water, and a face cloth within 8 hours. It should not be worn overnight.
– Avoid using baby wipes for removal, as this can lead to skin staining and possible reactions.
– Some colours may linger on the skin. Do not scrub; simply allow the face to settle and repeat the removal process as needed.

4. **Sun Exposure**:
– Face paint should not be worn for extended periods in the sun, as it does not provide any sun protection.

5. **Allergic Reactions**:
– Although rare, face paints can cause allergic reactions. If your child has never had their face painted before, we recommend a patch test. Please speak to our team to arrange this test, which will be monitored for any reactions for 60 minutes.

6. **Regulations**:
– All face paints comply with EU and FDA regulations.

7. **Supervision Requirements**:
– Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times. We cannot take responsibility for children waiting in line and may refuse painting if they are not accompanied.

8. **Refusal of Service**:
– We reserve the right to refuse painting to anyone we deem unsuitable, without prejudice.

– Cancellations made within 7 days of the booking will incur a 50% charge; cancellations made within 48 hours will incur a 100% charge.

Thank you for your understanding!

If any provision of these terms is deemed unlawful, void, or unenforceable under contract law, that provision shall be considered separate from the rest of this agreement. The validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions will not be affected. This document constitutes the entire agreement between Funky Fun and the Customer regarding the subject matter herein and can only be modified in writing, signed by both parties. In the event of a conflict, the Customer agrees to resolve any disputes through arbitration.

If no service is provided, Funky Fun’s maximum liability will be to refund all payments received from the Customer. Funky Fun is not responsible for any consequential damages or lost opportunities resulting from a breach of this agreement.

The contract will commence when Funky Fun receives a signed booking confirmation form (which can be confirmed via email) and the deposit from the Customer. The contract shall terminate upon delivery of the services or as otherwise outlined in these terms.

1. To maintain the highest standards of cleanliness for the machines, Funky Fun requests that the Customer and their guests notify Funky Fun staff of any instances of soiling, spills, or damage.
2. All individuals using the service should refrain from placing any food, drink, or sharp objects on or in the machines. Funky Fun reserves the right to refuse service if this rule is not followed.
3. The Customer is responsible for ensuring that no tea lights or candles are placed as decorations on the machines, and under no circumstances should items such as banners or pictures be attached.
4. Funky Fun will not tolerate any abusive or threatening behaviour towards our team or any abuse of the machines and accessories. Funky Fun reserves the right to terminate this contract immediately if our team feels threatened or if the machines and accessories are at risk of damage due to the actions of any attendees at the Customer’s event.
5. The Customer will be fully responsible for any loss or damage caused by themselves, their guests, or other attendees about Funky Fun’s equipment or employees/contractors, regardless of how it is caused.
6. The candy floss machine must be situated on a firm, flat surface. If the event is in a marquee or a similar temporary structure, a suitable base is required. The standard price assumes clear access at ground level. If this cannot be achieved, additional charges will apply and will be stated 30 days before the event.
7. If Funky Fun staff deem the proposed location for the candy floss machine unsafe, Funky Fun reserves the right not to set up the machines.
8. The Customer is responsible for ensuring that the venue allows reasonable access for loading and provides suitable parking after the equipment has been unloaded.
9. Funky Fun typically requires one hour to set up and one hour to dismantle the machines (this does not affect your hire time). However, the actual time may vary depending on the location of the machines within the venue, as no two events are the same.
10. Funky Fun will strive to provide the requested flavour choices. However, Funky Fun reserves the right to substitute unavailable flavour choices with alternatives from suppliers.
11. The Customer is not permitted to use or mix their flavourings with those provided by Funky Fun for insurance and product traceability reasons.
12. Any leftover stock at the end of the hire period will be given to the Customer.
13. The Customer is responsible for ensuring that Funky Fun has access to the event venue and appropriate facilities. This includes arranging, in advance and at the Customer’s own expense, any necessary permits, licenses, and permissions needed for Funky Fun staff to access the venue and perform the services.

Cancellation

If the client cancels the party or event within 7 days of the scheduled date, a 50% charge will apply. If the cancellation occurs within 48 hours of the event, a 100% charge will be applied.

If Funky Fun cancels the party, the full deposit will be returned to the client.

In the case of cancellation due to inclement weather, the deposit will be refunded as long as we have not yet left for delivery.
