General Booking Terms

A booking is made and a contract formed when the Seller receives a booking
form from the buyer along with a non-returnable deposit, and we confirm that
booking to you.
The booking form must be filled in correctly and supplied to us within 14 days.
Once the seller has received the booking form from the buyer, the seller
will confirm your booking along with an invoice for the balance payment,
which must be paid at least 14 days before the booking date.
If you do not pay the balance by the due date the seller, will be entitled
to regard the booking as cancelled and no refund will be payable.
The seller will not take responsibility for any delay in reaching any venue
due to road works, traffic chaos or any other highway hazard.
Any variations on the terms and conditions can only be permitted if expressed
in writing by the seller

Full Hire

When the buyer hires the fountain on a -full hire- basis, the buyer, agrees
to be responsible for any claim against the seller for chocolate spillage
on any item of clothing, furniture, carpet or anything else caused by others,
how so ever caused.
For standard or full hire, the buyer agrees to provide, a table, (Ideally
a 4 ft round) a 13-amp power supply, parking .

Cancellation

The Buyer must make cancellations in writing.
All deposits are non - returnable. If the booking is cancelled 28 -14 days
before the event the hirer will refund 50% of the balance payment (if full
payment has been made at that time). If the event is cancelled 14 days or
less before the event, the hirer will refund 10% of the total booking price

Breakdown

In the unlikely event that the fountain should breakdown or fail to operate
as a fountain, the system will still allow the guests to dip food into the
bowl of the fountain, which will be filled with chocolate, and therefore
provide the guests with the experience. The seller will refund to the buyer
25% of the full hire charge if this occasion occurs - full hire only. If
a breakdown occurs during a standard hire and the seller has provided an
operator, the same refund will apply, if the buyer is running the fountain
and a breakdown occurs after the seller has left the fountain working, no
refund will be due.
In any event, the buyer agrees that the maximum claim that could be made
in respect of loss or damage is restricted to the total cost of the hire
and no more.

be assigned by the Hirer without the express written consent of the Seller.

and shall not be removed or varied in any way.

of its obligations hereunder to the extent the event of supervening impossibility
