Terms and conditions are very important for a new bounce house rental business. As the beginners, you may have no idea how to use the proper terms and conditions document to protect yourselves. Therefore, some smart guys try to copy a complete terms and conditions from someone else's website. I am not saying you can't use other's terms and conditions, but you can do more. For example, copy them and change them according to your actual situation.

You will have your own business name and website, it's not a good idea to post a set of terms and conditions exactly the same as someone else. This may alert Google to the fact that your website contains copied text, and even worse, cause a breach of intellectual copyright and leave you liable to a lawsuit. In addition, how do you know that the terms and conditions of others are right for your business? So copy directly from others without changing anything is not a good idea if you want to rely on them in court.

This question may be the most concern of your customers. You should make your own policies by referring to other's terms. Such as how much will you refund people for the weather cancellations? If a customer cancels, are there any time restrictions on full refunds? This policy should be fair to protect both operator and customer's rights, and adhere to the requirements of your particular country.

2. What is your delivery policy?

This policy is very important, it determines how far your service can go and where your target customers are located. People care how early you can deliver the inflatable jumpers and how late will you collect. What is your farthest delivery distance and will you charge for the deliveries? You should let all your potential customers know the farthest distance you can deliver for free and how to charge if the service distance is exceeded.

Who will be responsible for the accident? This depends on who is the actual operator. Tell the customers you are not responsible for the injuries if it's not you or your staff operating the bounce house.

9. What is your liability insurance?

Are there any guidelines you could give your customers that will help them keep you and your staff safe when putting up and taking down inflatables on someone's private property? And who will be responsible for the damage of the private property and your inflatable equipment when there is an accident?
