Payment details
To secure the booking date for event styling or products to be hired by the Client, the Client agrees to place a 50% deposit of the hire price with the Hirer within 3 days from receipt of the invoice. Failure to pay the deposit within that time will lead to an automatic cancellation of the booking.

Bond
All bonds will be held by the Hirer until the safe return or pickup of all products pending no damage to items. All bonds will then be returned to the Client minus any fee incurred either due to late fee/extension fee and/or breakage/damage fee. If damage exceeds bond amount then the Hirer will be liable for the full cost of repairs or replacement of the items.
The amount of bond held will be relevant to the amount of products hired by the Client and agreed to by both the Hirer and the Client. This will be advised to the Client when a booking is confirmed. All bonds will be accepted before the handing over the products and will be returned in the same manner.
