INCLUDING THE ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS ON THE FOLLOWING PAGES, AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THEM. I FURTHER WARRANT AND REPRESENT THAT I AM THE CUSTOMER AND AM AUTHORIZED AND EMPOWERED TO ACCEPT DELIVERY OF THE EQUIPMET AND TO SIGN THIS AGREEMENT.
In consideration of the hiring of certain Rental Equipment described on the Invoice page of the Rental Agreement and General Release and in addition to all of the terms and condition set forth on the previous page of this agreement, the parties do further agree as follows:
Identity of Parties: For the purpose of this agreement, “HFB” shall mean HIGHT FAMILY BOUNCE & PARTY RENTALS, its owners, officers and employees. “Customer” shall mean the person(s) and/or business listed on the front page of this agreement as well as the person signing this agreement (if different).
1. EQUIPMENT, RENT, PAYMENT and TERM of RENTAL AGREEMENT: Customer rents from HFB certain equipment described on the invoice page of this agreement. The rental fee set forth is payable, in full, in advance, and the rental term shall be that listed as Event Time on the invoice page of this agreement. All of Customer’s obligations arising under the terms and conditions of this rental agreement shall run from actual delivery of the Rental Equipment to the actual pick up of the Rental Equipment by HFB. Equipment delivered by HFB and accepted by Customer shall not be entitled to any refund whatsoever if Customer elects not to use the Equipment due to weather or other causes.
2. WEATHER: HFB cannot guarantee weather conditions. We reserve the right to cancel or reschedule your rental prior to delivery if severe weather conditions are imminent or if we have any reason to believe that the inflatable equipment and/or its users may be in danger. Some examples of severe weather are high winds, excessive rain, and lightening. In the event of severe weather during a rental, customer agrees to unplug the inflatable, allow it to deflate and not use the inflatable until the severe weather ends. We do not issue refunds due to severe weather once equipment is delivered, set-up and accepted by customer.
3. POSSESSION/TITLE: Customers right to possession of the Rental Equipment begins upon the items being delivered to Customer’s premises and terminates on the actual pick up by HFB. Retention of possession, or any failure to permit the pick up of the item(s) at or after the end of the “Rental Period” specified constitutes a material breach of this agreement. In the event that the Equipment is not returned for any reason, including theft, the Customer is obligated to pay to HFB the full replacement value for such Equipment listed on the invoice page of this agreement, plus any and all incidental costs associated with the attempted pick up or recovery of the Equipment by HFB. Title to the rental items is and shall remain in HFB. Customer agrees to keep the Rental Equipment in their custody and control from the time of HFB delivery of the items until HFB picks up such items. Customer shall not cause nor permit any items to be sublet, rented, sold or removed from the Delivery Address or otherwise transfer such items. If rental items are not returned and/or levied upon for any reason whatsoever, HFB may retake possession of said items without further notice or legal process and use whatever force is reasonably necessary to do so. Customer hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold HFB harmless from any and all claims and costs arising from such retaking and/or levy. If rentals items are levied upon, or otherwise moved from Delivery Address, Customer shall notify HIGHT FAMILY BOUNCE & PARTY RENTALS immediately at (850) 902 - 7197.
4. CARE OF THE RENTAL EQUIPMENT: Customer shall be responsible for any and all damage to any of the Rental Equipment not caused by ordinary wear and tear. “Ordinary wear and tear” shall mean only the normal deterioration of the rental equipment caused by ordinary, reasonable and proper use of the rental equipment. Customer shall be liable to HFB for any and all damage which is not “ordinary wear and tear.” in an amount equal to the replacement value of the rental equipment on the invoice page of this agreement. Damage which is not “ordinary wear and tear” includes, but is not limited to: cutting or tearing of vinyl or netting, damage due to overturning, overloading, exceeding rated capacities, breakage, improper use, abuse, lack of cleaning, contamination of or dirtying of rental equipment with non approved items such as chemicals, non approved food, paint, silly string, mud, clay or other materials.
A.) GENERAL MISUSE: Do not allow riders to play or climb on walls, sides or roof of inflatable. Do not allow the inflatable to rub up against any surface. Unless previously authorized by HFB, never place a water hose or water in general onto the inflatable. If the inflatable should become wet, have an adult wipe down unit before riders return. Inflatable should not be wet when riders enter the unit.
B.) NEGLIGENCE or ABUSE: The following fees may be assessed for negligence or abuse of inflatable:
1. Spilled food, drink or the use of Silly String could result in a $100 - $500 Cleaning Fee.

5. EQUIPMENT PROBLEMS: SHOULD ANY EQUIPMENT DEVELOP A PROBLEM, OR DOES NOT FUNCTION CORRECTLY AT ANYTIME, OR CUSTOMER DOES NOT UNDERSTAND THE OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS, CUSTOMER AGREES TO IMMEDIATELY CEASE USE OF THAT EQUIPMENT. In particular, if the inflatable unit begins to deflate, customer will immediately have the riders exit the unit and then check for one of the following conditions: 1) The motor has stopped; in which case check the power cord connection at the outlet where the unit plugs into the house to ake sure that it has not been unplugged or tampered with; 2) If motor continues to run, check for blockage of the air intake screen on the side of the blower unit. Also, check both air tubes on the back of the unit for snugness and tighten the ties if necessary; 3) If either of these steps corrects the problem, fully re-inflate the unit prior to permitting anyone to use the unit; 4) If you cannot correct the problem, call our office at (850) 902 - 7197.
6. CANCELLATION/REFUND POLICY: Customer will receive a full refund of deposit (if deposit was required) with cancellation at least 3 days prior to event date. NO REFUND WILL BE GIVEN AFTER THE EQUIPMENT HAS BEEN DELIVERED and ACCEPTED BY CUSTOMER, EVEN IF THE EQUIPMENT HAS NOT BEEN USED. All weather cancellations must be made by 8:00 AM on the date of the rental to receive refund of deposit. If the equipment malfunctions or is inoperable, it is the sole responsibility of the customer to notify HFB immediately. If HFB is not notified and given a chance to correct the problem, no refund will be given.
7. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS: Customer agrees not to use or allow anyone to use the rental equipment for any illegal purpose or in any illegal manner or in an unsafe manner. Customer agrees at their sole cost and expense to comply with all municipal, parish, state, federal or other governmental or quasi-governmental laws, ordinances or regulations which may apply to the use of the rental equipment during the rental period.
