The Holding Deposit is either refunded in full within 14 days after the completion of the event, or forfeited in full if the event is cancelled. The booking is not considered confirmed until any Holding Deposit invoiced has been paid.
Where required, pay a surcharge for Sunday/Public Holiday Set up and Pack down costs of $50 per tent.
Where required, pay an additional $75 per tent if tents are requested to be set up in various locations on site, as opposed to side by side in a row.
Where required, pay a non-refundable Booking Fee to set up an Event Page, of $150, or an amount as advised at time of booking. The booking is not considered confirmed until any Booking Fee invoiced has been paid.
Where required, pay a Cleaning & Damages Deposit which is charged at $150 per tent on the number of tents advised for the event. Deposit is either refunded in full within 14 days after the completion of the event providing the tents and equipment/furnishings/bedding has not been excessively dirtied or damaged in any way. The deposit is forfeited in full if there is any damage or excessive cleaning required to be undertaken. Should the tents not be zipped up/windows closed upon leaving the tent, and it rains, making the inside of the tent wet - the cleaning and damages deposit will be forfeited. We do expect some mess, so please don't think you need to keep the tents spotless. An example might be if you are eating chocolate or drinking red wine and spill on our bedding and linen (these stain the linen and are impossible to get out), have got lipstick or makeup all over the tent doors (it happens!), which requires a deep clean of the tent, have smoked inside the tent (this is prohibited as per our terms and conditions), or generally damaged the tent in any way.
If you or your guest has vomited or urinated inside the tent an additional $500 will be charged for cleaning this up.
Pay the balance of the total due to the Company no later than fourteen (14) days prior to the commencement of the period of hire.
Pay a Travel Fee. All bookings incur a travel fee regardless of the number of tents required. We reserve the right to refuse a booking if the travel is deemed excessive.
The Client will be liable for the cost of any loss, damage, or soiling of the bell tent and its contents.
Details of any loss or damage will be provided to the Client.

1. 100% of the funds paid will be forfeited if the booking is cancelled less than fourteen (14) days prior to the commencement of the Hire Period.
2. 50% of the funds paid will be forfeited if the booking is cancelled less than thirty (30) days prior to the commencement of the Hire Period.
