By booking services, Client confirms that they have carefully read, understood, and agreed to all terms outlined below and assumes full responsibility to communicate these terms to all event stakeholders, venue coordinators, and contractors.

1️⃣ Reservation, Pricing & Payment Terms

To secure décor services, a non-refundable retainer of $50 is required via Zelle (630-251-3534).

All décor pricing is based on design complexity, materials, and setup time, and quoted by order.

The remaining balance is due in full before installation begins.
Failure to pay may result in service cancellation, and full contracted payment remains due.
Any verbal upgrades or last-minute changes (e.g., adding arches, garlands, signage, or delivery re-routing) are billable and must be paid before execution.

6️⃣ Weather, Outdoor Installs & Safety

Outdoor décor is subject to environmental conditions.
While professional materials and methods are used, balloons are not guaranteed to withstand extreme heat, cold, rain, or wind.
