Weather
Do you set up outdoors?
-
Yes! As long as the weather permits, we will set up outside for any event. We do ask that you keep the equipment in a shaded area where the equipment won’t get too hot for your little ones. We will not set up over uneven surfaces to ensure the safety of the children playing. Outdoor set ups will inquire an added fee of $75 in the months of June, July and August.
What if it rains?
-
To ensure the safety of the little ones, we will not set up outdoors if there is rain in the forecast. We ask that you plan an indoor area as a back up should it rain on the day of your event. Deposits are non-refundable for weather related cancellations, you may however, use your deposit as credit for a future date. This credit is valid for a full year from your event date and we will work with you to rebook upon availability on our schedule. All payments for services are refundable up to one weeks prior to your event date less the retainer fee. After one week, we will issue you a credit in the amount paid for future bookings.
Please note: Once Soft Play 901 has arrived for set up a refund nor credit for payment WILL NOT be issued. At this point if you cancel your payment is considered earned by us.
Payment
What forms of payment do you accept?
-
We currently accept payments via PayPal. All major credit and debit cards can be used to make payments and a PayPal account is not required.
How much is the deposit amount?
-
Our retainer fee is $100 dollars. This fee is non-refundable for cancellations if you cancel your event. This amount will secure your date and our equipment while it is in your possession. It will NOT be deducted from your balance. Your full balance is due one week (7 days) prior to your event date. Please keep in mind that dates WILL NOT be reserved until a retainer fee/deposit is paid. The $100 dollars retainer fee will be refunded after pick up "IF" there are no damages, food, spills, glitter, confetti, missing items, balls are back inside the ball pit, etc.
-
Note: Talking to us about interest does not mean we are holding the date while we are in talks. We accept bookings on a first to pay basis.

PayPal allows you to make payments whenever you'd like using your custom invoice link, so technically yes :)
