A two-week notice is recommended in order to guarantee availability of any rental equipment.

The charge for delivery is based on your zip code. The delivery is to the site and pick-up from the site. Delivery charge may be higher for some locations. Deliveries made to ground level only, therefore please make your delivery arrangements explicit, as there may be extra charges if stairs or long distance carrying is involved. Set up is available for an additional 25% fee based on the total invoice price, teardown is not included in this fee. If rental items are not broken down the way they were delivered a 25% breakdown fee will apply.

Individuals wishing to rent equipment are required to submit a minimum of a 50% security deposit (cash, check or credit card) along with a current, valid driver's license or state identification card.

All rentals are to be prepaid, or Cash on Delivery unless a charge account has been previously established. Open account customers in good standing may submit a signed purchase order in lieu of a security deposit.

A signed contract, or lack thereof, DOES NOT relieve you from personal, financial responsibility and obligation of payment for your reservation. It is implied that if a reservation is placed and a credit card number has been provided for securing the reservation with intent to take delivery of the goods, that you fully intend to take delivery of the goods. Only upon cancellation, which all cancellation terms of this agreement apply, may you relieve yourself of the financial obligation and responsibility to pay in full; unless your cancellation does not meet the requirements set forth in this agreement by which 100% of the payment shall apply. Such fees include but are not limited to: rental equipment fees, delivery fees, set-up fees, labor fees, damage waiver fees and any other fee associated with the special circumstances of your reservation. This is NON-NEGOTIABLE and it is YOUR responsibility to know with whom and the date and circumstances regarding your event. Double booking, the absence of a signed contract with America's Party Rental or any other circumstance within YOUR control holds you fully responsible to these terms.

Some of the equipment we rent requires training prior to its use. We suggest that the person(s) designated to operate such equipment get a lesson in operation from us prior to the event. We will not be responsible for machines that do not work properly if no lesson was given prior to use or if the individual responsible for operating and maintaining the machine is present at the time of delivery.

All of our concession equipment is either NSF listed, UL approved, or manufactured for safe food use or preparation; however, most of it is designed for indoor use. Please ask if you are unsure of how the equipment may be used outdoors. In some cases an extra fee may apply for equipment used outdoors.

Our concession rental equipment is sanitized and tested for safety and reliability on a regular basis. As with all equipment, however, there is a risk that if it is not used properly, injury could result. America's Party Rental assumes no responsibility for injury resulting from the misuse of a machine. You should provide insurance and health department permits, if required for your particular event.

You will be responsible for the equipment from the time the equipment is delivered and set up to the time it is picked up. Please make sure the equipment is secured when not in use and protected from wind and water hazards such as inclement weather, outdoor sprinklers, pools, pets or wet or damp surfaces. You will be charged up to full replacement cost for any damaged or missing items. You will be charged a $50 - $150 cleaning fee if the equipment is returned dirty. We can not take back any opened products or if the seal has been broken. If we are forced to take legal action to recover our equipment, you agree to pay for any and all legal fees. Additionally, we retain the right to charge for loss of use for the time the equipment is not in our possession.

CANCELLATIONS: Due to the high demand for equipment, it is necessary for us to have reservations guaranteed in advance in the form of a security deposit. Deposits must be presented at least one week prior to the rental date. Cancellations made less than 48 hours (2 days) prior to the rental date will be charged 25% of the total equipment rental cost for one day. Rental reservations not canceled prior to the rental date will be charged one full day's rental cost for all equipment reserved.

LATE FEES: You are expected to pay the final due amount one day prior to taking delivery of your equipment.

There is no cap to the amount of compounded late fees that apply to your delinquent account.
