Such failures may include failure to behave reasonably or appropriately. The Company will hold every person in the party jointly and severally liable for any damage to property and for any legal costs incurred in defending or pursuing such a claim. The Company acts as agents in supplying equipment used in connection with your event (for example dance floors, glass ware, furniture and marquees).

The Client is not permitted to supply or use its own or third party contractors, production companies/suppliers, entertainers without written approval from the company and a 10% commission fee will be administered. Non payment of final balance by the due date will render The Company’s contract with The Client void. We recommend that The Client takes out event insurance.
