A 24-hour grace period may be given if Lessee has notified the office prior to the end of the posted date and time for the rental equipment.
DELAYS: Any delays on delivery and/ or pick up or customer pick up and/ or return may result in additional charges based on the amount of time that our crews, or staff, were delayed. In addition to any other charges incurred due to said delay, to accommodate other events that may be affected.

Action Tents & Party Rental will have no liability for Lessee’s failure to comply with local laws. ***See tent prep instructions for contact numbers***
TENT INSTALLATION: Installation of a tent must be done correctly for the protection of the tent, the guests and success of the event. Therefore, it is Action Tents & Party Rental's strict policy that all installations and takedowns shall be done by Action Tents & Party Rental's staff. The price quoted for tent rental includes installation, unless otherwise stated. Upon completion of the installation by Action Tents & Party Rental staff, the Lessee becomes responsible for the full rental price for the agreed term, regardless of event interruption, due to weather, casualty, or any other causes, including acts of God. Lessee is not responsible for a defect in the equipment at the time of installation, or negligence in the installation of the equipment by Action Tent & Party Rental's staff which impairs Lessee's use of the equipment.
WEATHER: Tents are temporary structures designed to handle most weather conditions, however there may be some weather conditions that become unsafe such as wind, lighting, and tornadoes. Evacuation of the tents is recommended in these or other unsafe conditions. It is Lessee’s responsibility to have an evacuation plan posted in a public place near the tent. Tents are not guaranteed to be completely waterproof. Action Tents & Party Rental reserves the right to modify the contract dates for delivery and/or pick up due to inclement weather.
SIDEWALL: Sidewalls are an additional cost and therefore not included in the tent rental price. Sidewall panels will be placed under each tent for the Lessee to install if needed. Sidewall must be removed from the tent and folded prior to Action Tents & Party Rental's arrival for tear down to ensure that Action Tents & Party Rental's staff stays on schedule. Additional labor charges will be assessed if the sidewall is not removed, and Action Tents & Party Rental's staff is required to remove any sidewall panels. Installation of sidewall is available at an additional rate if arrangements are made in advance.
UNDERGROUND IMPROVEMENTS: Action Tents & Party Rental has no information on the existence or location of the pipes and/or cables on Lessee's property and will install the tents per Lessee's instruction. Therefore, Action Tents & Party Rental will call Kansas One Call/Dig Safe 5-15 days prior to installation of tents. The locate will need to be done no less than 5 days prior to install to be sure that flags and markings are in place at the time of installation. It is the responsibility of the Lessee to have all privately owned lines marked prior to installation. These include, but are not limited to power or electrical services, water and sewer pipes from the meter to the building, invisible fencing, sprinkler systems, well and septic systems, ect.
PLANTS, FLOWERS & SHRUBS: Although Action Tents & Party Rental's staff exercises extra caution around your plantings, Action Tents & Party Rental cannot be liable for any damage done during installation or take down of the tents. Lessee undertakes liability for all damage done to flora or fauna.
PREPERATION FOR TENT INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL: Lessee will be charged for any time Action Tents & Party Rental staff spend preparing the space for the tent installation. The area must be clear and free of obstruction prior to Action Tents & Party Rental's arrival at the job site. Similarly, the tent(s) must be empty for removal when Action Tents & Party Rental staff arrives. Any noncompliance will result in the aforementioned additional charges.
SPECIAL INSTALLATION: Action Tents & Party Rental does not encourage the use of water barrels and/or concrete blocks to anchor tents. Anchoring is best done by either staking into grass or gravel; or drilling into concrete or asphalt to secure tent. If the Lessee is unable to stake and/or drill for tent installation and requires the use of water barrels and/or concrete blocks, Lessee assumes all liabilities that may result due to this type of anchoring. See INDEMNITY provision for further information. Lessee is also responsible for providing a water source within 100 feet from the furthest point of where the tent location will be. If Lessee is on a 3rd party's property, Lessee will be responsible for gaining all permissions and access to the water source prior to Action Tents arriving for installation.
USING WEIGHT TO ANCHOR TENTS: I (Print Name) ______________________________, as an authorized representative for (Print Company Name) _________________________________, do hereby assume all liabilities for (Print Company Name) ______________________________, damages that may be incurred to the frame tent(s), as listed on job contract, to persons, property (whether personal or public) and/ or any permanent structures due to the anchoring of the tent(s) with water barrels or concrete blocks.
