PURPOSE OF THE AGREEMENT
Client wishes to hire Provider to provide services relating to Client’s submitted inquiry. Provider has agreed to provide such services according to the terms of this Agreement.
TERMS
Services: Provider shall provide services and products as specifically outlined in the invoice, proposal, or written agreement associated with this booking, which is incorporated into this Agreement by reference.
Location & Delivery of Services
Location. Provider shall deliver Services to Client by either pickup with a designated location given by Provider or delivery to exact address designated on inquiry given by the Client.
Delivery of Services. Provider will provide all Services on the agreed-upon date and time as specified in the invoice or written agreement, unless otherwise stated.
Access & Setup Conditions: Client is responsible for ensuring timely and unobstructed access to the installation area. Delays caused by venue restrictions, lack of access, or unprepared spaces may result in reduced setup time, additional fees, or incomplete installation, for which Provider shall not be held liable.
Timing & Delays: Provider is not responsible for delays caused by factors outside of its control, including but not limited to venue restrictions, prior event delays, traffic, or Client-related issues. Any delays impacting setup time do not constitute a breach of this Agreement.
Cost, Fees and Payment
Cost. The total cost for all Services is due in full by Client as identified and outlined within invoices. Client shall pay the Total Cost to Provider as follows:

In order to provide a high level of satisfaction and quality of service, no other service providers, other than any assistant or third party that Provider hires to complete the Services outlined in this Agreement, are permitted to provide the same or similar services or products, paid or unpaid, at the locations and dates specified in this Agreement.

Consistency. Provider will use reasonable efforts to ensure Client's desired Services are produced in a style and manner consistent with Provider current portfolio and Provider will try to incorporate any reasonable suggestion made by Client. However, Client understands and agrees that: Every client is different, with different tastes, budgets, and needs; Provider services are often a subjective art and Provider has a unique vision, with an ever-evolving style and technique; Provider will use its artistic judgment when providing Services for Client, which may not include strict adherence to Client’s suggestions;
Although Provider will use reasonable efforts to incorporate Client’s suggestions and desires when providing Client with the Services, Provider shall have final say regarding the aesthetic judgment and artistic quality of the Services; Dissatisfaction with Provider's aesthetic judgment or artistic ability are not valid reasons for termination of this Agreement or request of any monies returned.

If the freestanding garland is dropped off at a location other than the final event venue (such as the client’s home, business, or holding location), the client assumes full responsibility for all transportation from that point forward. Once delivery is made to the address specified in the contract, Provider is released from all liability related to the structure’s handling, transport, or setup.Liability Waiver:
Provider is not liable for any injury, property damage, or mishandling that may occur during the transport, setup, or post-event disposal of the base or structure. Clients are encouraged to seek assistance when lifting or moving the base.Reuse Option:

Loss of Product. In the event that any or all product(s) are lost, such as damage to or loss of a component of the product necessary for final delivery, Provider shall refund Client a pro-rated portion of the Total Cost based on the amount of Services that were completed/provided against the amount of Services that were agreed to be completed/provided.
Indemnification. Client agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Provider and its affiliates, employees, agents and independent contractors for any injury, property damage, liability, claim or other cause of action arising out of or related to Services and/or product(s) Provider provides to Client. Upon completion of each payment schedule Client understands the condition in which balloons are in (ie. weather, temperature, indoor and outdoors, transportation, contents, Act of God, etc) that may damage or compromise the Bubble/Latex/Foil Balloon and Client assumes the responsibility. Provider will attempt to provide the product as ordered with these conditions in mind and Client will not hold Provider liable if any of the above conditions inhibit the failing of the product upon delivery or after. Client assumes all liability providing balloons to self or another individual and knows the harm that balloons or products can cause when used in an inappropriate manner or given to individuals of any age.

Provider operates as an independent business and maintains its own insurance coverage. Client acknowledges that Provider is not responsible for damages or incidents outside the scope of Services outlined in this Agreement.
Bookings
Event Date: This Event Booking Contract between Provider and Client stipulates that the booking retainer fee required to secure the event date will be determined at the discretion of the Provider. The Provider agrees to provide services as agreed upon, and the Client agrees to pay the booking retainer fee and any subsequent payments according to the agreed-upon schedule. In the event of cancellation or rescheduling, both parties agree to abide by the terms outlined in the contract. This contract is governed by the laws of Arkansas and represents the entire agreement between the Provider and the Client, superseding any prior agreements or understandings.
Quote Validity & Pricing
All quotes provided by the Provider are valid for a period of thirty (30) days from the date issued, unless otherwise stated in writing. Due to the fluctuating cost of materials, including but not limited to balloons, specialty items, and supplier pricing, ALL PRICING IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE UNTIL THE BOOKING RETAINER FEE IS RECEIVED AND THE EVENT IS SECURED ON THE PROVIDER’S CALENDAR. If a quote is not accepted within the 30-day period, the Client will be required to obtain an updated quote. Provider reserves the right to adjust pricing based on current material costs, availability, and scope of services at the time of re-quote. Client acknowledges that delays in accepting a quote may result in increased pricing and/or limited availability of requested items, colors, or designs.
Design & Color Changes: Any changes to color schemes, design elements, or materials after booking may result in additional charges. If materials have already been purchased, Client is responsible for the cost of replacement materials and any applicable modification fees.
Material Substitution: Provider reserves the right to substitute materials, colors, or products of equal or greater value if specific items become unavailable due to supplier issues, inventory shortages, or unforeseen circumstances.
Platform Orders & Custom Requests (Fanfaire)
Orders placed through third-party platforms, including but not limited to Fanfaire, reflect selections and pricing based solely on items currently available within the platform at the time of booking. If Client submits a request for custom items, modifications, or additional elements not listed on the platform (including but not limited to specialty balloons, vinyl applications, backdrops, or other customizations), such requests will be reviewed and, if accepted by Provider, will result in additional charges. Client acknowledges that any custom requests submitted through platform features (including “I couldn’t find what I wanted” or similar fields) are not included in the initial platform pricing and will be added to the final invoice upon agreement. The initial payment made through the platform, including the booking retainer fee, is based only on the selections made at the time of booking and does not reflect additional customizations requested after submission.
Final pricing is subject to adjustment and will be confirmed through a revised invoice. Client agrees that all approved customizations must be paid in full in accordance with the updated invoice prior to event date.
Any approved customizations or additional items will be added to an updated invoice and become part of the total project cost. Client acknowledges that the original booking retainer fee applies to the total updated balance. Any increase in total cost due to customizations will require additional payment to maintain the reserved event date. Provider reserves the right to pause or decline additional customizations until any required payments are made and the updated invoice is accepted.
Rush Order Items
Any order placed within 10 days or less from the event date is considered a Rush Order. The Provider reserves the right to decline any Rush Order at their discretion. Rush Orders are subject to availability of current inventory, and no special stock will be ordered to fulfill a Rush Order request.
Rush Orders will be subject to the following tiered rush fees:
7–10 days before the event: Minimum $30 rush fee or 10% of the order total, whichever is greater.
3–6 days before the event: Minimum $30 rush fee or 20% of the order total, whichever is greater.
48 hours or less before the event: Minimum $30 rush fee or 30% of the order total, whichever is greater.
Full payment for all Rush Orders is required at least 2 days before the event date. Failure to make full payment by this deadline may result in order cancellation without a refund.
Balloon Care & Liability Disclaimer
Balloons are delicate and can be affected by environmental factors such as static electricity, temperature changes, dirt, and debris. The Provider is not responsible for any dust, dirt, or debris that may cling to balloons due to static electricity after installation or pickup. Additionally, static electricity may cause balloons to pop, and the Provider is not liable for any damages or replacements once the balloons are in the Client’s possession. For best results, the Client should keep balloons away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, rough surfaces, and high-static environments. Proper handling and care will help extend the life of the balloons.
Post-Installation Responsibility: Once Services are completed and/or installation is finished, the Provider is no longer responsible for the care, condition, or longevity of the balloons or décor. Client assumes full responsibility for all items, including damage caused by guests, venue staff, weather, or environmental conditions. Services are considered complete upon delivery, installation, or agreed-upon drop-off of all items outlined in the invoice. At that point, all responsibility for the condition and care of the items transfers to the Client.
Outdoor Installations: Outdoor balloon installations are subject to weather conditions. Provider is not responsible for damage caused by wind, heat, rain, humidity, or other environmental factors. Client acknowledges that outdoor installations carry inherent risks and accepts full responsibility once installation is complete.
Provider uses high-quality materials and professional techniques intended to maximize the appearance and longevity of balloon installations. However, due to factors beyond Provider’s control, including but not limited to environmental conditions and handling, Provider does not guarantee the lifespan or performance of balloons after delivery or installation.
Cancellation, Rescheduling and No-Shows
Cancellation, Rescheduling of Services or No-Show Client. If Client desires to cancel Services, reschedule Services, or if it becomes impossible for Provider to render Services due to the fault of the Client or parties related to Client, such as failure of a no show, pickup, or delivery to occur or failure of one or more essential parties to the designated location to show up in a timely manner, Client shall provide notice to Provider as soon as possible via the Notice provisions detailed in this Agreement. Provider has no obligation to attempt to re-book further Services to fill the void created by Client’s cancellation, rescheduling, no-show or if it becomes impossible for Provider to provide the Services due to the fault of Client (or parties related to Client), and Provider will not be obligated to refund any monies Client has previously paid towards the Total Cost. If Client has paid booking retainer fee for event booked with Provider and Client has a need to cancel event, Provider is willing to reschedule event within 6 months of booked date with the same theme/colors to be used (additional fees may be incurred). Client is not relieved of any payment obligations for cancelled Services, rescheduled Services, failing to show up for pick up or delivery, or should it become impossible for Provider to provide the services due to the fault of Client (or parties related to Client) unless the Parties otherwise agree in writing. For instance, if Provider is able to secure another, unrelated client for event or item provided , then Provider may choose, at its sole discretion, to excuse all (or a portion of) Client's outstanding balance of the Total Cost.
Travel, Delivery & Operating Cost Adjustments
Delivery and travel fees are determined based on distance, location, accessibility, and the scope of installation required. These fees include, but are not limited to, transportation of materials, setup time, labor, and overall service execution. Mileage rates and travel-related fees are based on current operating costs, including fuel, vehicle use, and labor. Due to fluctuating expenses, these rates may be adjusted as needed. PROVIDER RESERVES THE RIGHT TO MODIFY TRAVEL AND DELIVERY FEES based on factors including, but not limited to, fuel cost increases, extended travel distance, venue accessibility, changes in location, or additional installation requirements not originally outlined. Any adjustments will be communicated to the Client prior to final confirmation of Services whenever reasonably possible. Failure to approve adjusted travel fees may result in cancellation of Services in accordance with this Agreement. In such cases, all applicable fees, scheduled payments due, and the booking retainer fee shall remain non-refundable, as they represent compensation for time reserved, services prepared, and business opportunities declined. Client acknowledges that Provider reserves event dates exclusively and may decline other bookings upon acceptance of this Agreement.
Impossibility
Force Majeure. Notwithstanding the above, either party may choose to be excused of any further performance obligations in the event of a disastrous occurrence outside the control of either party, such as, but not limited to:
A natural disaster (fires, explosions, earthquakes, hurricane, flooding, storms or infestation); or War, Invasion, Act of Foreign Enemies, Embargo, or other Hostility (whether declared or not); or Any hazardous situation created outside the control of either party such as a riot, disorder, nuclear leak or explosion, or act or threat of terrorism. Failure to Perform Services. In the event Provider cannot or will not perform its obligations in any or all parts of this Agreement, it (or a responsible party) will:
Immediately give Notice to Client via the Notice provisions detailed in this Agreement; and Issue a refund or credit based on a reasonably accurate percentage of Services rendered; and Excuse Client of any further performance and/or payment obligations in this Agreement.
Appropriate Conduct/ Safe Working Environment.
Project: The Client(s) expressly agree(s) to take best efforts to provide Provider and Provider’s staff with safe and appropriate working conditions. In the event of circumstances deemed by either Provider or a bystander to present a threat or implied threat of injury or harm to Provider staff or equipment, the Provider reserves the right to cancel all services remaining under this Agreement and leave if performing services on-location. At the Provider’s discretion, the Provider may enact a three-strike policy. After the first offense, the Provider will make reasonable efforts to notify the Client(s) or a responsible party. If the Client(s) is/are able to respond to the threatening situation in a reasonable amount of time (maximum of 15 minutes), Provider shall resume work in accordance with the original terms of this Agreement. If the threatening behavior occurs for a second time, the Client(s) will agree to remove the offending person for the remainder of the project. If the behavior occurs a third time, the Provider will immediately leave the project. If the Provider leaves the project early due to any offending behavior, the Client(s) expressly agree to relieve and hold Provider harmless as a result of incomplete project coverage, or for a lapse in the quality of the Provider’s work, and the Client(s) shall be responsible for payment in full.
Non Project: The Client(s) expressly agree(s) to take best efforts to provide Provider and Provider’s staff with a safe and appropriate professional relationship. In the event of circumstances deemed to present a threat or implied threat of injury or unprofessional, harassing language or behavior to Provider staff, Provider will make reasonable efforts to notify the Client(s). If the Client(s) is/are able to respond to the threatening situation in a reasonable amount of time, Provider shall resume work in accordance with the original terms of this Agreement. If the inappropriate behavior continues, the Client(s) will agree to relieve and hold Provider harmless as a result of incomplete services under this Agreement, or for a lapse in the quality of the Provider’s work. The Client(s) shall be responsible for payment in full, regardless of whether the situation is resolved or whether Provider resumes work detailed in this Agreement
VIP Performer Essentials (Entertainment Purposes)
Upon my arrival at the venue, I will require the following essentials to ensure peak performance: two bottles of Ozarka water with flip-top lids, a bowl of mixed nuts, and a fried sushi roll filled with crab, shrimp, and cream cheese. Failure to provide these items may result in me dramatically swooning until all demands are met! 😉
Now that I've got your attention, I’m thrilled to let you know that this is just a joke! But kudos to you for reading your contract so thoroughly...I’m sincerely thankful that you’re paying attention to the details —you're clearly on top of things!!
