If you do not give seven days notice your deposit will be forfeited, unless cancellation is due to rain. For those who choose to pay for their order in cash, if you cancel your order after the driver has arrived; either before, during or after he sets it up, you will be charged a 25% cancellation/delivery fee.

A:
Your balance can be paid in cash, debit, or credit card. If you are a company, church, school, or other organization please Contact Us for information on your payment options. No personal checks will be accepted. All orders reserved with a credit card require a 25% deposit at the time the reservation is placed. You can pay your deposit using your debit or credit card. The remaining balance MUST be paid in full prior to setting up any equipment. Charges that are put on a credit card are ran on the day the information is given to the office staff, unless customer requests otherwise. All charges must be put through prior to the event date. Please be advised the card holder must be present with the card the order was placed with and a valid photo ID at the time of delivery.

If your order was paid by credit card, the card holder must be present with the card the order was placed with and a valid photo ID at the time of delivery. The driver can deliver your equipment up to 2 hours prior to the beginning of the delivery window you have selected when you placed your order. If no one is home, the driver cannot sit and wait. They will leave a card on the door and there will be a fee of $25 minimum to redeliver your equipment, if the driver is available to do so. The driver will call you when leaving the previous delivery to let you know they are headed to your location.

Q: What is your rain and wind policy?
A:
If it is raining, we will not set up the inflatable. If it is too windy we will not set up the inflatable. If it’s raining or rain is in the forecast and it looks like it’s going to rain on the day of the event, you will be contacted that morning by our driver to see if you are still going through with your party and still want your equipment to be delivered. You can cancel when we contact you on the day of the event, any and all payments will be refunded in full. If you keep your equipment and the driver arrives to deliver and you change your mind and want to cancel there will be a $50 cancellation/delivery fee. If it starts to rain after equipment is delivered there is no refund or credit for a later event. It is your responsibility to unplug the blower from the electrical outlet and place it in a dry location. If the weather clears up reconnect the blower so the water can run out and wipe the inflatable with a towel until dry. Now the kids can get back in.

Q: What needs to be done before the delivery driver arrives?
A: Please make sure that your yard is ready for setup. You should have a CLEAR and OPEN path for the driver to get to the area where the equipment is to be setup. Dogs must be in a secured area, away from the area the equipment is being setup. All dog feces need to be picked up, so the area is clean for the driver!

Q: How much room is needed to set up the inflatables?
A: In general there needs to be a 3 foot buffer around the entire unit. We refer to this as the “Safe Zone”.

Q: Can I pick up the jumper and set it up myself?
A: No. Our safety trained staff is required to set-up & take-down our equipment.
