HIRE AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR INFLATABLES

BUBBLES BOUNCY CASTLES SHALL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY ACCIDENTS, INJURIES OR LOSSES HOWSOEVER CAUSED.
 
IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE HIRER TO ENSURE THAT ALL POSSIBLE STEPS ARE TAKEN TO AVOID INJURY OR DAMAGE TO THE INFLATABLE. PLEASE ENSURE THAT THE FOLLOWING SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ARE FOLLOWED:
 
Users MUST remove their footwear (except socks) and any other hard, sharp or dangerous objects from their person such as badges, purses, buckles, jewellery etc. It is recommended that spectacles are also removed.
 
No food or drinks is to be taken onto the inflatable.
No smoking is allowed near or on the inflatable.
Do not allow anyone to bounce on the step/front apron. The step is there to help users to get on and off only.
Do not allow users to be on the unit during inflation or deflation.
Do not allow rough horseplay, somersaults or any other acrobatics.
In the event of a power failure, the hirer must ensure all persons are quickly evacuated from the unit.
Dogs, cats or any other animals are not permitted on the inflatable.
No silly string, party poppers or coloured streamers must be used near or on the inflatable.
The hirer takes responsibility to ensure there is no rubbish left in the bouncy castle at the end of the hire period.
 
Larger more boisterous users should be separated from smaller more timid ones. The number of users at any one time must be limited to allow each person room enough to play safely. It is the responsibility of the hirer to ensure the bouncy castle or bouncy slide is not overloaded to the detriment of the users.
 
Do not allow users to climb or hang on the bouncy castle or bouncy slide side and rear walls. These are not manufactured to withstand this type of pressure. It is also very dangerous as the user could fall onto the blower/and or the ground. If the walls are torn due to extreme pressure being exerted on the joint seams, Bubbles Bouncy Castles reserve the right to charge the hirer any reasonable repair costs.
 
A responsible adult must stand at the front of the inflatable and supervise play on inflatable at all times, taking appropriate action to ensure the well being and safety of all users. The operating area at the front of the inflatable must be kept clear of onlookers and debris to ensure the supervisor has a clear field of vision and that users can mount and alight safely. If spectators are likely to become a problem in this request it may be necessary to erect some form of crowd control barrier. The barrier should be at least 1m high and be capable of withstanding people leaning or being pushed against it and erected at least 1.8m from a walled side and 3.5m from an open side.
 
The use of the bouncy castle or bouncy slide should be limited to those persons who, when standing on the bouncing surface are no taller than the bouncy castle walls. Any user with a medical history which could be aggravated by using this equipment are not allowed on the inflatable.
 
Bubbles Bouncy Castles reserves the right to cancel the hire without penalty if we find on arrival that there is not a suitable position in which the inflatable can be placed. We may also cancel due to inclement weather conditions such as high winds, heavy rain or storms, which would increase the chances of the castle becoming damaged as well as making it unsafe to use. If such conditions should arise during the day it is the hirer’s responsibility to evacuate the inflatable and deflate it by switching off the power at the mains.
 
In the event that no one is available or willing to grant us access to collect our equipment at the end of the agreed hire period we have your permission to enter your property and recover our equipment in your absence. This also applies if at any point during the hire at our discretion if it should come to our attention that the hirer is in breach of the conditions of hire stated in this document.
 
Bubbles Bouncy Castles shall not be liable for any consequential expenses, liability, loss, claim or proceeding whatsoever caused by, arising out of, late delivery, non-delivery, unsuitability or repossession of the equipment or any part thereof or any breakdown.
 
Only our delivery driver is authorised to collect the inflatable. Under no circumstances should any of the equipment by handed over to anyone other than our delivery driver, who will hold a copy of the hire contract.
