Bounce House Rental Agreement

1. The parties

This Bounce House Rental Agreement ("Agreement") is made between [Operator / business name] ("Operator") and [Customer full name] ("Customer").

Operator contact: [phone · email]. Customer contact: [phone · email · billing address].

2. Unit(s) and equipment

Operator agrees to rent the following to Customer:

Unit(s): [e.g. Castle Combo bounce house, 15 ft × 15 ft].

Add-ons: [tables, chairs, generator, attendant — or “none”].

Rental rate: $[amount] · Delivery fee: $[amount] · Setup fee (hard surface): $[amount] · Tax: $[amount] · Total: $[amount].

3. Event date, times, and location

Event date: [date].

Rental window: [start time] to [end time].

Setup location: [full address].

Surface and grade: [grass · concrete · asphalt · indoor]. Note any slope or uneven ground: [describe].

4. Delivery window and site access

Operator will deliver and set up between [delivery window] and return to remove the unit(s) between [pickup window].

Customer or a responsible adult will be present at delivery to confirm placement, and again at pickup.

Access: Customer confirms a clear path to the setup area with a gate or doorway at least [__] inches wide, and will note in advance any stairs, tight turns, soft ground, or steep slope that could affect delivery.

If the site is unsafe or unusable on arrival — for example a blocked path, standing water, or a slope too steep to anchor safely — Operator may decline setup, and the deposit terms below apply.

5. Space and power

Customer will provide, at no cost to Operator, a cleared, reasonably level area of at least [dimensions] for each unit, free of rocks, sharp objects, pet waste, and overhead obstructions such as low branches or wires.

Power: a dedicated, grounded electrical outlet for each blower, within typical blower-cord range of the setup area. Most operators plan for an outlet within roughly 100 feet; if power is farther, arrange a generator in advance. This is planning guidance, not a technical specification — confirm the actual reach with your Operator.

6. Weather policy

Safety comes before the party. Operator follows the manufacturer’s maximum operating wind speed for each unit. Many operators stop use, and will not set up, at sustained winds or gusts in the range manufacturers commonly cite (roughly 15–25 mph), and in lightning, storms, or heavy rain.

If unsafe weather forces a shutdown or prevents setup, the booking becomes a rain check: it reschedules to a mutually available date at no additional charge, or [describe your rain-check / refund terms]. A weather reschedule is not treated as a Customer cancellation.

7. Supervision and safety rules — Customer acknowledgment

Customer agrees to provide a responsible, sober adult attendant to supervise the unit at all times it is in use, and to enforce these rules:

Rider count and combined weight stay within the unit’s manufacturer rating — [riders] riders and [weight] per the manufacturer’s label. Do not exceed it.

Riders sorted by size; small children never bounce with much larger ones.

No shoes, glasses, sharp objects, food, drink, gum, or silly string inside the unit.

No flips, roughhousing, climbing on the walls or netting, or piling on.

Continuous blower operation while in use; no use in rain or unsafe wind.

Everyone exits immediately if the blower stops or the unit begins to deflate.

8. Damage and cleaning

Customer is responsible for damage beyond normal wear caused during the rental period, including damage from misuse, overloading, or failure to follow the rules above.

A cleaning fee of $[amount] applies if a unit is returned excessively soiled — for example mud, food, drink, silly string, paint, or pet waste requiring more than a routine wipe-down.

Lost, stolen, or unrepairable equipment is charged at [replacement cost / stated value]. Operator will document the condition of the unit at delivery and pickup.

9. Liability release and waiver

Attorney review recommended

HAVE YOUR ATTORNEY REVIEW THIS SECTION. How far a liability release can go varies by state, especially where children or gross negligence are involved.

Customer acknowledges the inherent risks of inflatable play and agrees that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Operator is not liable for injury or property damage arising from use of the equipment, except to the extent caused by Operator’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Customer agrees to supervise use, follow the safety rules, and keep the equipment in a safe condition during the rental period.

10. Deposit and balance

A non-refundable deposit of $[amount or %] is due to reserve the date. The date is not held until the deposit is received.

The balance of $[amount] is due [on delivery · by (time) on the event day].

Accepted payment methods: [methods]. The deposit and balance are paid directly to Operator.

11. Cancellation

If Customer cancels more than [__] days before the event, the deposit is forfeited and no further amount is owed.

Cancellation within [__] days of the event may require payment of [__]% of the total.

A weather reschedule is handled under the Weather Policy above and is not a cancellation.

12. Entire agreement and signatures

By signing, Customer confirms they have read and agree to all terms, including the site access, space and power, supervision and safety rules, occupancy limits, weather policy, damage terms, and liability release.
