RENTAL CONTRACT- TERMS & POLICIES
MAKING A RESERVATION
To confirm a reservation, we require your contact information, a valid credit card number on file, a non-refundable deposit, and a signature on your rental contract. The non-refundable deposit is equal to 50% of your order total and is applied towards your final balance. By paying the 50% non-refundable deposit, you agree to all terms and conditions of this contract. Your order will not be considered ‘reserved’ until a deposit and signed contract are received.
PAYMENTS
Payments can be made in any of the following ways: credit card, cash, or personalized check with ID. We take payments in person, over the phone, or by mail. You may pay the final balance on your account at any point before your event, but we must receive final balance payment fourteen (14) days prior to the scheduled event.
CHANGES AND CANCELLATIONS
Your satisfaction is of the utmost importance to us. The day you enter into contract with Unique Design Rentals the Pieces are considered out of our inventory for your date and thus made unavailable to other potential customers. This ensures you will have all the items you need on the date you require them.
Because of this, we do have certain policies regarding changes to your order. All changes must be received by Unique Design Rentals 30 days in advance. If you have paid more than the 50% non-refundable deposit and you change your order or cancel your order, all monies you have paid above the 50% non-refundable deposit will be returned to you. If you make changes or cancel any or all of your order after the 30 day mark, you will be refunded 35% of the total you paid above the 50% non-refundable deposit. Under no conditions will the 50% non-fundable deposit be refunded.
