❎ CANCELLATION POLICY

Weather Policy

Santa Clara Jumpers has been in the party and event rental industry for over 12 years. We know how unpredictable Mother Nature can be and we wouldn’t expect you to pay for her unpredictability! Because of this, our weather policy is one that our customers have been satisfied with since we first started this business.
You can give us a call any time to cancel your reservation without penalties. We prefer that you wait until the day of the event to withdraw as the weather often improves as the day progresses. You can give us a call before 8:00 am on the day of your event to cancel your reservation or reschedule it.
We understand that if you need to cancel your party due to the weather, you must make that decision as early as the previous day of your event date.

If you have already submitted a deposit, the deposit will be applied toward a future event (Valid for 90 days after the day of cancelation), or if you would like to cancel your order then We’ll refund in full payment.

If the sky is overcast or there is light rain with no wind, we can still set up our bounce houses Inflatables party tents.

YOUR CHILD’S SAFETY IS OUR MAIN CONCERN DURING PERIODS OF SEVERE WEATHER CONDITIONS (I.E. RAIN, HIGH WIND, ETC.) WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO CANCEL YOUR RESERVATIONS.

If the weather conditions are not too severe, we’ll give you the option of keeping the reservation or not.

If you decide to keep your reservation and have the party rentals delivery in a raining day there will be no refund and due to the high cost of maintenance, there will be an extra charge of $50 to $100 (Depending on the size of the inflatables) for cleaning and drying the equipment.
We’ll collect this fee as a deposit. If by the end of the day there was no rain and the inflatable is completely dry, then we’ll refund this money back to you.
Once you accept the equipment, payment is due upon delivery and the equipment is under your responsibility.
We recommend not turning off the blower at any time during rainy use until our driver comes back to pick up the equipment.
An inflatable attraction can still operate under the rain and a passing shower does nothing more than wet the unit. If that happens,

DO NOT DEFLATE THE UNIT!!! Simply wait for the storm to pass, wipe down the unit with a towel, and continue with the fun! While that is our Inflatable rain policy, it is always important that you exercise caution when operating an inflatable and should always air on the side of caution and deflate the unit if you have any doubt about what to do, if there is high wind (15 MPH) and up turn off the inflatable immediately.
Remember safety first.

Permits:
Customers should call the local city Park and Recreation Department to inquire about their rules and regulations prior to placing an order. Approved permits are required from the customer prior to the event date by most parks; some don’t require it, so please check with park officials to make sure. If a permit is required but the customer did not obtain it or falsified information, park officials may require the bouncer to be picked up during the event, in which case there will be no refund. The customer is responsible for obtaining and paying all permits. Most cities do provide electricity so you are required to rent a generator to provide electricity for the inflatable. A copy of your approved permit must be emailed to us at: [email protected] before your event date.
Insurance:
Santa Clara Jumpers has full liability insurance, We are licensed by the county of Santa Clara and deliver to all parks that allow inflatables.

Customers should reserve at least 7 days before event day to allow time for processing the required insurance certification with the park. For all special paperwork like endorsements or waivers of subornation, please allow at least 1 week for processing your order. An additional fee of $45 applies for all park reservations.
Water Units:
Water units cannot be set up at a park since a dedicated water supply and water hose are required, something that parks don’t provide for their guests.
Electricity:
A 4,000-watt generator or higher capacity is required for all inflatables that are going to a park. Unless the city park facility provides electricity and the customer has ensured there will be a dedicated 15-AMP circuit available. Please contact Santa Clara Jumpers to make sure you reserve the correct amount of generators. If the customer opts to have their own generator, and not rent one from us, then powering the generator and ride will be entirely the customer’s responsibility and Santa Clara Jumpers will not be held liable if the generator does not work or does not provide adequate power. We advise all customers to rent a generator from us so we can make sure there will be sufficient power and no issues on the day of your event.
