Mission Statement
To ensure excellence in both our service and products to bring your event come to life . . . .

Payments
- A non refundable booking deposit of £50 to secure the services of “Balloon Art Studio” is required upon reservation of date; this will be deducted from the total cost of the event when paying the balance.

- 50% of the outstanding balance must be paid by 3 weeks prior to the event.
- The final balance must be paid in full by 1 week prior to the event.
- As Balloon Art Studio is not registered for VAT, so you do not have to pay VAT on goods or services. However, when Balloon Art Studio does become VAT registered, VAT will be added onto all goods and services.

- Please make all cheques Payable to 'Balloon Art Studio'
- All invoices are due immediately and no longer than 7 days as Balloon Art Studio does not offer credit.


Cancellation Policy
If you have to cancel you event less than 7 days before the actual date, you will be held liable for 50% of the booking quote as product will have been purchased to fulfil your request and also that date/time will have been held for you and very unlikely to be refilled if cancelled.


Hired items
When items are hired a refundable security deposit will be required and held until the safe return of the hired item(s). If products are not returned by the agreed deadline or are returned damaged the deposit will be kept by Balloon Art Studio as payment to repair/replace such items. During the period of hire the items listed in your quote will be
your responsibility.


Entertainment
We advise that any person/s hiring our entertainment services reads our 'Child Protection Policy'. Our entertainment staff are hired only for the purpose which was agreed ie balloon modelling, face painting etc. Any child taking part in any of our entertainment activities MUST be accompanied by an adult.


Important Information
If you wish to make changes to your requirements please notify Balloon Art Studio of these changes no later than 1 week before your event take place. Any changes after this period may result in extra cost due to the purchase/s of products for your event.

In order to provide you with the best possible service it is important to ensure that all requirements are met prior to the Balloon Art Studio team arriving to set up for your event. ie. if tables are not set or room layed out then this can impact on the amount of time needed to complete your request and as we can have up to 4 jobs in one day sufficient time has been allocated to your event but delays such as the above can create a ripple effect.

If you have requested outdoor decor Balloon Art Studio can not be held accountable for weather conditions and if our team arrives at your venue but unable to construct and put in place your decor requirements due to the weather conditions you will still be liable for 50% of the total job cost. The reason for this is that a team of people have been allocated to your event, travel costs and also product will have been purchased for your event also.

Balloon Art Studio reserves the right to make changes to these terms and conditions at anytime. Balloon Art Studio will update this page at their earliest convenience and will also include these changes in your written quotation and well as verbally.


Important Safety Information
Helium the Gas used in your floating balloons is an Inert, colourless and odourless gas. But evidence has proven that the inhalation of helium can be fatal, as it is an
Asphyxiate gas. The inhalation of helium cuts off a person’s supply of oxygen and can cause dizziness, unconsciousness and ultimately death! So we strongly recommend
that neither you nor anyone else inhales helium at any time.
