By booking our services, paying a deposit or invoice, or otherwise confirming a booking with us, you agree to these Terms and Conditions in full. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, please do not proceed with your booking.

3. Hire Only Clause

All balloon decor, props, frames, stands, and equipment provided by Elevate Decor by Sam remain the property of the company at all times and are supplied on a hire basis only unless otherwise stated in writing. No hired item shall be deemed sold or transferred to the client under any circumstances unless a separate written agreement confirming the sale has been issued by the company. The client does not acquire any ownership rights over any of the hired items at any point during or after the hire period.

4. Bookings and Deposits

All bookings must be confirmed with a non-refundable deposit as specified in your quotation. The booking will not be confirmed until the deposit has been received. The remaining balance is due no later than 7 days prior to the event date unless otherwise agreed in writing.

5. Quotations

All quotations provided by Elevate Decor by Sam are valid for 14 days from the date of issue. Quotations are subject to change based on availability, updated requirements, or changes to the scope of work requested. Final pricing will be confirmed in writing prior to the event.

6. Setup and Installation

Our team will arrive at the agreed time and location to carry out the installation of all balloon decorations. The client must ensure that appropriate access to the venue is provided at the agreed time. Any delays caused by restricted access, unavailability of the venue, or changes to setup requirements that were not communicated in advance may result in additional charges.

7. Collection Time Clause

Collection of hired items will take place at the agreed time communicated prior to the event. The client must ensure that access is available for collection at the scheduled time. It is the responsibility of the client to inform the venue and any relevant third parties of the agreed collection time to ensure smooth and timely access for our team.

8. Late Collection Fee

If the collection cannot be completed at the agreed time due to the venue or client, a late collection fee may apply. Additional waiting time may be charged at 30 pounds per hour. Elevate Decor by Sam reserves the right to invoice the client for any time spent waiting beyond the agreed collection window. Where our team is required to return to the venue on a separate occasion due to the client or venue not being available, an additional call-out charge may also apply.

9. Damage and Loss Clause

The client is responsible for any damage, loss, or theft of hired items from the time of setup until collection. Replacement or repair costs will be charged accordingly. This includes but is not limited to damage caused by guests, venue staff, weather conditions where the client or venue has assumed responsibility for the items, or failure to safeguard the items during the hire period. The client will be invoiced for the full replacement or repair cost of any affected items, which will be due within 14 days of the invoice being issued.

11. Additional Charges Authorisation
