However, accidents can happen. Active Bouncy Castles can accept no liability for injuries sustained or any other loss, howsoever caused, in the absence of the negligence of Active Bouncy Castles or its employees. As the equipment will be in the hirer’s possession and control whilst in use rather than Active Bouncy Castles, any liability for injuries or other losses caused other than in the circumstances described above rests with the hirer. Accordingly, it is strongly recommended that the hirer has adequate public liability insurance covering his or her liability arising from the use of the inflatable.

I DECLARE that I have read and understand these terms and conditions of hire and any relevant operating and safety instructions supplied with the equipment, and I sign the contract fully aware of the implications and responsibilities placed upon me by doing so. 

The hire of bouncy castles and bouncy slides is entirely at the discretion of Active Bouncy Castles with regard to site suitability and weather conditions and the company reserves the right to cancel a booking.  The safe operation is the responsibility of the hirer and Active Bouncy Castles shall not be held responsible for any accidents/injuries howsoever caused.
The hirer must monitor the activity on the equipment continuously, taking appropriate action to ensure the well being and safety of all users, especially the smaller, more vulnerable participants.

The use of the bouncy castle or bouncy slide should be limited to those persons who, when standing on the bouncing surface are no taller than the bouncy castle walls.

A responsible adult must stand at the front of the bouncy castle and supervise play on the bouncy castle at all times.  The operating area at the front of the bouncy castle must be kept clear of onlookers and debris to ensure the supervisor has a clear field of vision and that users can mount and alight safely.  If spectators are likely to become a problem in this respect it may be necessary to erect some form of crowd control barrier.  The barrier should be at least 1m/40 high and be capable of withstanding people leaning or being pushed against it and erected at least 1.8 m from a walled side and 3.5 m from an open side.

When used outdoors the bouncy castle or bouncy slide must be anchored down using all of the points provided.  The anchor stake must be inserted through the hole in the anchor point and driven in flush with the ground.

The bouncy castle or bouncy slide must not be set up in a wind higher than Force 5 on the Beaufort Scale.

Users MUST remove their footwear (except socks) and any other hard, sharp or dangerous objects from their person such as badges, purses, buckles etc.  Spectacles are best removed. 

Do not allow rough horseplay or somersaults.

Larger more boisterous users should be separated from smaller more timid ones.  The number of users at any one time must be limited to allow each child room enough to play safely.  It is the responsibility of the hirer to ensure the bouncy castle or bouncy slide is not overloaded to the detriment of the users.

No food, drink, cigarettes, party poppers to be taken onto the bouncy castle.  No silly string to be sprayed inside the bouncy castle.  The hirer takes responsibility to ensure there is no rubbish left in the bouncy castle at the end of the hire period.

Do not allow users to climb or hang on the bouncy castle or bouncy slide side and rear walls.  These are not manufactured to withstand this type of pressure.  It is also very dangerous as the user could fall onto the blower/and or the ground.  If the walls are torn due to extreme pressure being exerted on the joint seams, Active Bouncy Castles reserve the right to charge the hirer any reasonable repair costs.

Active Bouncy Castle’s Public Liability Insurance covers their legal liability arising out of the workmanship of its staff and the safe condition of the equipment.  Unless Active Bouncy Castles is commissioned to supervise the equipment, the company cannot be held liable or responsible for any incidents that may occur during the hire period.  The hirer assumes sole risk and should ensure that a responsible person capable of exercising control over the users supervises the equipment
