3. PAYMENT TERMS & CARD-ON-FILE AUTHORIZATION

Any other amounts owed by Customer under this Agreement.

3.4 Failed Payment. If Company is unable to successfully charge the card on file for the remaining balance twenty-four (24) hours before the Event, Company will make reasonable efforts to contact Customer. If payment cannot be secured prior to the Event, Company reserves the right to cancel the booking, with the Deposit being forfeited pursuant to the cancellation policy in Article 8.

3.5 Accepted Payment Methods. Company accepts major credit cards, debit cards, and other payment methods designated by Company. Cash, personal checks, and money orders are not accepted unless expressly authorized in writing by Company.

3.6 Taxes. All rental prices are subject to applicable South Carolina state and local sales tax, which will be added to Customer’s invoice.

4. DAMAGE, LOSS, & REPLACEMENT RESPONSIBILITY

4.1 Full Responsibility. Customer assumes full responsibility for the Rental Equipment from the time it is delivered to or picked up by Customer until it is returned to or picked up by Company. Customer is responsible for any and all damage to, loss of, theft of, or destruction of Rental Equipment that occurs during the Rental Period, regardless of cause, fault, or intent, except for damage caused solely by Company’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

4.2 Replacement Cost. If Rental Equipment is returned damaged, dirty beyond normal use, broken, defaced, incomplete, missing parts or accessories, or in a condition that renders it unusable, Customer agrees to pay all repair costs, replacement costs, and related expenses, up to and including the full replacement cost of the equipment at current market value. Customer authorizes Company to charge such amounts to the card on file without further notice.

4.3 Inspection Process. Company will inspect all returned Rental Equipment within seventy-two (72) hours of return. If damage, loss, or excessive wear is identified, Company will notify Customer in writing (including by email or text message) of the damages and the assessed charges. Customer will have a reasonable opportunity to review the assessment, but Company retains sole discretion in determining whether equipment has been damaged and the amount of associated charges, subject to reasonable, good-faith judgment based on actual repair or replacement market values.

4.4 Cleaning Fees. Equipment returned in excessively dirty condition, including but not limited to caked-on food residue, mud, foam residue, sticky substances, mildew, water damage, or other conditions requiring more than standard cleaning, may be subject to additional cleaning fees ranging from $25 to $100 per item, depending on the extent of cleaning required.

4.5 Lost or Stolen Equipment. If Rental Equipment is lost, stolen, or not returned, Customer is responsible for the full replacement cost. Customer agrees to notify Company immediately upon discovering loss or theft and to file a police report if theft is suspected. Filing a police report does not relieve Customer of financial responsibility for the equipment.

4.6 Examples of Damage. Damage includes, but is not limited to: broken or cracked machine components; water damage to electrical equipment; torn, burned, or stained inflatables, vests, or tarps; missing or broken Nerf blasters, foam darts, safety glasses, or vests; damage caused by improper use, weather exposure, animal contact, or accidents; and any other condition that prevents the equipment from being rented again in the same condition received.

4.7 Normal Wear. Company will not charge for ordinary wear and tear consistent with normal, intended use of the equipment.

5. CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES

5.1 Provision of Site.

The Nerf Wars Battle Pack is recommended for ages six (6) and older. Foam Parties are appropriate for all ages but require active adult supervision of young children at all times.

5.6 Compliance with Laws. Customer agrees to comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, ordinances, and regulations in the use of the Rental Equipment and conduct of the Event.

Use of foam solution other than that provided or approved by Company;
Any use that violates the manufacturer’s safety guidelines or any safety instructions provided by Company.

6.3 Termination for Misuse. Company reserves the right to terminate this Agreement and immediately retrieve all Rental Equipment, without refund of any amounts paid, if Customer breaches any provision of this Article 6 or if Company reasonably determines that the safety of any person or property is at risk.

7. DELIVERY, SETUP, AND PICKUP

7.1 Customer Pickup. Customer pickup of Rental Equipment is offered at no additional charge. Customer is responsible for arranging timely pickup, transporting the equipment safely, completing setup at the Event location, and returning equipment within the agreed Rental Period.

7.2 Delivery Service. Delivery Service is available within fifteen (15) miles of Company’s home base for a flat fee of $35.00. Orders totaling $300.00 or more qualify for free delivery within the fifteen (15) mile zone. Delivery beyond fifteen (15) miles is available at a custom rate determined at the time of booking. Delivery Service includes setup of equipment at Customer’s designated location, a brief operational walkthrough, and retrieval at the end of the Rental Period.

7.3 Delivery Access. Customer is responsible for providing clear, safe access to the delivery location, including unobstructed pathways, gate access (if applicable), and any necessary instructions for the delivery driver. If Company is unable to access the delivery location due to circumstances within Customer’s control, additional fees may apply, and Company may, at its discretion, refuse delivery without refund.

7.4 Failed Delivery. If Customer is not present or available to receive delivery at the agreed time, Company will wait up to fifteen (15) minutes. After fifteen (15) minutes, Company may, at its sole discretion, depart and reschedule delivery (subject to availability and additional fees), or treat the booking as a no-show under Section 8.4.

8. CANCELLATION, RESCHEDULING, & SEVERE WEATHER

8.1 Cancellation More Than 48 Hours Before Event. Cancellations made more than forty-eight (48) hours before the scheduled Event start time will receive a full refund of the Deposit, less any non-refundable third-party processing fees. Refunds will be processed within fourteen (14) business days.

8.2 Cancellation 24-48 Hours Before Event. Cancellations made between twenty-four (24) and forty-eight (48) hours before the scheduled Event start time will result in forfeiture of the Deposit. No further charges will be made.

8.3 Cancellation Within 24 Hours of Event. Cancellations made within twenty-four (24) hours of the scheduled Event start time will result in Customer being charged the full rental cost. Customer expressly authorizes Company to charge the card on file for the full rental amount in such cases. This provision reflects the fact that within twenty-four (24) hours, the time slot cannot reasonably be rebooked and Company has incurred preparation costs.

8.4 No-Show. A no-show, defined as Customer’s failure to be available for pickup or delivery at the agreed time without prior notice to Company, will be treated as a cancellation within twenty-four (24) hours of the Event, and Customer will be charged the full rental cost.

8.5 Severe Weather. If severe weather makes the Event unsafe or impractical, Company will work with Customer in good faith to reschedule the booking to a mutually agreeable future date, subject to availability, at no additional charge. “Severe weather” is defined as: sustained heavy rainfall, active lightning within ten (10) miles of the Event location, sustained winds in excess of twenty-five (25) miles per hour, named tropical storms or hurricanes, tornado watches or warnings, temperatures below 50°F or above 100°F, or other weather conditions that, in Company’s reasonable judgment, create a safety risk for participants or equipment. Routine rain showers or weather conditions that do not meet this definition shall not constitute severe weather for purposes of this Section.

8.6 Rescheduling. Rescheduling requests made more than forty-eight (48) hours before the Event will be honored at no charge, subject to availability of the requested new date. Rescheduling requests made within forty-eight (48) hours of the Event will be treated as cancellations under Sections 8.2 or 8.3, as applicable, unless the rescheduling is due to severe weather as defined in Section 8.5.

8.7 Force Majeure. Company shall not be liable for any failure to perform under this Agreement caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, severe weather, natural disasters, governmental orders, public health emergencies, war, terrorism, equipment failure beyond Company’s control, or transportation failures. In such cases, Company will work with Customer to reschedule or, at Customer’s option, provide a full refund of amounts paid.

8.8 Cancellation Notice. All cancellation notices must be made in writing (by email or text message) or by direct telephone communication with Company. The cancellation timing is determined by when Company receives the notice, not when Customer decides to cancel.

9. ASSUMPTION OF RISK & RELEASE OF LIABILITY

9.1 Assumption of Risk. Customer acknowledges that the use of Rental Equipment, including but not limited to Nerf Wars equipment, foam party services, concession machines, karaoke equipment, and yard games, involves inherent risks of injury, including but not limited to: slips, trips, and falls; eye irritation or injury from foam, projectiles, or particulate matter; impact injuries from foam darts or other projectiles; burns from heated equipment; electric shock from improperly handled equipment; allergic reactions; cuts, scrapes, or bruises; and other risks that cannot be fully eliminated through reasonable care.
