  5. All balloon decorations and weights become your property and responsibility upon completion of the set-up with the exception of decorations that use a balloon frame or hired equipment of any type.
  6. Outdoor balloons will only last at best 1-2 days and will automatically be quoted double stuff charge to give your balloons the best chance lasting outdoors.
  7. Balloons are, by nature, temporary perishable items. Although PoppaDo Balloons uses only the finest quality balloons, some balloons will occasionally deflate sooner than expected and will also be adversely affected by the wind, rain, rough handling, sunlight, and other uncontrollable factors. We cannot be responsible for changes in weather and the affect this has on the balloons as the react with the outdoor elements. 
    1. You need to be aware that: 
      1. Balloons will swell and expand in the heat.
      2. Darker balloon colours will absorb heat and pop faster.
      3. Balloons will oxidise (go misty and cloudy) and lose their clarity.

  9. Whilst we always do our best to ensure the balloons are attached securely, we are not responsible due to weather conditions or deliberate attempt to adjust or tamper with balloons should they become unattached.
  10. The British weather is unpredictable so please do ensure if you have booked an outdoor installation with us you have a plan B. We do not provide weather cover this will need to be hired separately by yourselves. We can however discuss changes to the location of the décor within your space if the weather is not looking favourable before set up.
    If you have booked an outdoor installation you need to ensure the ground is not wet for any low level picnic or cushions and rugs. If the ground is too damp we will set up a picnic table somewhere else that is dry. If we deem any outdoor area hazardous or could cause damage to our items will discuss and move the set up to an alternative location.
  11. Whilst the choice of colours and types of balloons for balloon displays is your responsibility, we reserve the right to make substitutions such as in the case of a faulty batch of balloons supplied from the manufacturer.
  12. Care must be exercised to ensure that all decoration items are safely and securely disposed. On no account should helium balloons be inhaled or released into the atmosphere.
  13. Please note that the Goods supplied are not toys and are not suitable for children to use unsupervised. Ribbons tiled to balloons may cause choking if used incorrectly. It is your responsibility to ensure that all children are appropriately supervised when handling these items. We will not be liable for any allergic reactions to latex if we are unaware.
  14. Money Balloons: We can attach a maximum of 10 notes to the balloon, any more adds too much weight and affects the lift of the balloon.
