9. Rules of Operation: Equipment must be operated over a smooth, compatible surface such as grass or hard top surface. The equipment may NOT be operated on rough surfaces such as rocks, brick, glass, or any jagged objects. Equipment may also not be operated over any exposed irrigation or utility lines or access points for such lines. The equipment cannot be moved by Customer after being placed by Company employees/contractors.  Equipment MUST BE properly anchored before use. Equipment will be anchored initially by Company employees/contractors and the anchors MUST NOT be removed during the period of use. Never attempt to relocate, adjust, or service a blower. Never use during high winds, gusty winds, thunderstorms, or lightning.  The equipment can turn over in high winds, even if anchored, and this could result in severe injuries to the users.  Do not resume use until adverse weather conditions have ceased. Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines located on the equipment itself.


10. Overnight Rental: Unless otherwise agreed, equipment will be picked up on the same day it is dropped off. Customer agrees that any overnight rental will be in a secured location and that the equipment will be deflated, covered, and blowers removed to a secure indoor location when not in use.


11. Equipment problems: Should any equipment develop a problem, or not function correctly at any time, or Customer does not understand the operating instructions, the Customer agrees to immediately cease use of the equipment. In particular, if the inflatable equipment begins to deflate, Customer will immediately have the riders exit the equipment 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 equipment plugs in to make sure that it has not been unplugged; 2) If the 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 equipment for snugness and tighten the ties if necessary; 3) If either of these steps corrects the problem, fully re-inflate the equipment before permitting anyone to use the equipment; 4) If you cannot correct the problem, call our office.


12. Pick-up Inspection: If Customer chooses to deflate the equipment before the arrival of the pick-up attendant, it must be re-inflated before it is packed up. The equipment will be inspected and may receive a preliminary cleaning before removal.


13. Cancellation/Refund Policy: Customer will only receive a full refund of the deposit if Customer cancels due to rain or inclement weather conditions before delivery. Inclement weather is the only variable that will necessitate a refund. A REFUND WILL NOT BE ISSUED for any other reason except inclement weather. The deadline for weather cancellations is no later than 8 AM on the date of the rental to receive a refund. If the equipment malfunctions or is inoperable, it is the sole responsibility of the Customer to notify Company immediately. If Company is not notified and given a chance to correct the problem, NO REFUND will be issued.
