Terms and Conditions of Hire – Bouncy Castles

Deposit: $40 is payable at the time of booking by direct credit:

Pay to: Castle King (National Bank) 06 0545 0334457 00

Cash or cheque deposit is acceptable by prior arrangement and cleared no less than 5 days before the event. Bookings must be paid for in cash prior to set up. Alternatively a cleared bank deposit is acceptable prior to the event. Cheques on the day are accepted by prior arrangement only.

As well as your enjoyment, safety is the key concern of Castle King so therefore we reserve the right to cancel any booking that in our opinion compromises safety. This includes cancellations when we arrive at the venue, related to adverse weather and proposed set up area being inadequate. In these circumstances your deposit is carried over to another booking or refunded at our discretion. 

Set Up

There should be at least 2m of free space around and above the castle clear of trees, sharp objects, buildings and power lines. We need a flat area that is easily accessible by a 2 wheeled trolley. Power must be available within 25 metres. Indoor hires can be catered to for example church and school halls.

Cancellations

All cancellations that are not weather related must be made no less than 5 days prior to the event. Cancellations within this 5 day period may result in forfeiture of your deposit. Deposits may be transferred to another booking however.

Bad Weather

Bookings can be cancelled on the day due to adverse weather. In the event of a weather cancellation any deposit may be transferred to a future booking or refunded. 

In the event of bad weather affecting your booking after set up, the full rental will still apply. If it rains during your booking, please have all children vacate the Inflatable and turn off the blower immediately. The blower unit must be placed under cover with the extension cord and RCD unit. It is also desirable to put the Inflatable under cover if at all possible.

Responsibility of the Hirer

1.       Please ensure there is at least 2 meters of clear space around and above the Inflatable that is completely clear. Do not set up near power lines or sharp fences or structures.

2.       We will advise the maximum number of children at any one time on the castle but on average its 5-7  players. It is the responsibility of the Hirer to ensure the Inflatable is not overcrowded and safe for all children. NO adult should use any equipment that is supplied solely for children's use. These units are intended for use by persons below the age of 12yrs. Please ensure no person over this age uses the equipment.

3.       No smoking or barbeques near the Inflatable.

4.      No shoes, food, drink, face paint, silly string, party poppers, sharp objects/clothing (i.e studded belts), glasses, badges, toys, pets, sweets or chewing gum allowed on the Inflatable. 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.

5.      A responsible adult of 18 years and over MUST supervise the Inflatable and its players at ALL times. No person under the influence of drink or drugs should supervise or operate the equipment.

6.       Do not use a hose on or near the Inflatable. Please do not use the Inflatable if it is wet.

7.       Please ensure no players are on the Inflatable during set up and deflation as this may damage the equipment.

8.      Players must NOT be allowed to climb the Inflatable walls. Please ensure children keep away from the blower and power source.

9.       If the Inflatable is not being used at any part of the day, please turn the Blower off.

10.   Please do not drag the Inflatable across rough surfaces.

11.   In the event that the blower stops working, please vacate the Inflatable immediately. Try resetting the on off button on the blower. Also check there is nothing obstructing the blower. Please also check fuses or that the Inflatable has not come undone from the blower. If the Blower overheats or loses power, wait 2 minutes before switching back on. Any problems feel free to call us straight away.

12.   The Inflatable must be cleaned thoroughly after use. Failure to do so may result in a cleaning fee of $30.
