Booking needs to be done using an ID that clearly identifies the address and full name of the individual that is renting the items. The remaining 50% is due prior to picking up the items or if a set up or set up and take down is required, the remaining 50% is due 5 days before the event date.
2. Unless otherwise agreed upon in writing, all pick up rentals are to be picked up from our St.Catharines studio at a pre-arranged date and time no earlier than 10.00 a.m. on the Friday before the weekend the event is on and dropped off no later than 7.00 p.m. on the Monday after the weekend the event is on. Unless we have previously agreed in writing for an extended rental period, any late returns will be charged 20% of the total rental contract per day, no exception.
3. The Rental/Decor Agreement is based on a one-time use rental fee and does not constitute the purchase of the itemized décor, unless otherwise specified.
