Safety, Rules, & Company Policies
Please note: We do not provide attendants / staff to run equipment with normal reservations. Deposit and Balance are available for Special Events only. You will need to provide adult supervision while all bouncers, slides, and interactives are inflated/ in use. If an attendant is needed please contact Sharper Events and Tents prior to your event so one can be provided for an extra service fee.
Cancellation Policy & Payment Requirements
If full payment is not made prior to your event date CASH ONLY will be accepted on site the day of your event before the unit/entertainment comes out of the truck. Our team does not carry cash change with them on deliveries. Therefore we ask that you have exact cash for payment.
In the case of precipitation, wind or dangerous weather Sharper Events reserves the right to cancel any and all orders and refund rentals in full. Safety of our staff and customers is our top priority.
Inflatables cancellations that happen 15 days or more before the event will receive a full refund. Cancellations that happen 14-2 days before the event will receive a Rain Check in the amount of the deposit good for 1 calendar year. All payment above the required deposits will be returned.
As of May 1, 2020 we no longer refund Tented Events deposits. In the event of a cancelation the customer will have store credit for 365 days from the original event date.
Weather conditions fewer than 40 degrees are dangerous to children and the equipment and will void any rental. If you are concerned, please call our office. 207-337-4891
Our main concern is safety. We have been incident free since our companies' first day of operation. Risk assessment is crucial to enjoy a fun safe day with our party and event rentals equipment.
