Note to Our Clients: Balloons are, by nature, temporary items.
Although Partycraft Balloons uses only the finest quality balloons, some balloons will occasionally deflate sooner than expected and will also be adversely affected by wind, rain, temperature, climatic conditions, rough handling, sunlight and other uncontrollable factors. We offer no guarantee on balloons.
Balloons that are personalised with names, logos etc come with no guarantee.
Balloons should be not be allowed to touch the ceiling, lights, sharp objects or surfaces likely to cause damage.
Latex balloons pose no threat to humans, wildlife or the environment WHEN handled responsibly. Broken or uninflated balloons can cause harm to young children and pets and should be disposed of immediately. Children under the age of seven (7) should be under constant adult supervision while playing with latex balloons.
Balloons are a choking hazard and clients are responsible for not giving balloons to children three (3) years of age and younger. Our latex balloons are 100% biodegradable, but should not be released. They should be disposed of in a rubbish receptacle.
Inhaling helium can cause dizziness, nausea, vomiting, loss of consciousness and even death. Under no circumstances inhale helium from a balloon or from a helium tank. Inhaling helium is dangerous and can result in asphyxiation.
The client should understand that some décor items, and in particular balloons, may be affected by temperature and humidity and that Partycraft Balloons cannot be held responsible for the décor in uncontrolled climate, such as rain or extreme heat and/or unforeseen acts of nature. Balloons can be placed outside, but they should not be expected to last any length of time as they will be affected by sunlight, temperature and other atmospheric conditions.
We NEVER guarantee perfect results with balloon decor outdoors. However, we further state that we will do everything in our power to make sure the decor will hold up by using the BEST quality of balloons.

No refunds will be given.

In that case Partycraft Balloons retains the right to abort the project at any time should we believe that to continue may damage the reputation of the client and/or Partycraft Balloons and/or cause a safety hazard.
All outdoor decorating must be conducted in a safe manner and there must be an indoor rain contingency plan. In the event of cancellation without such a contingency, the client agrees to compensate Partycraft Balloons with the full booking fee as agreed at the time of booking, in writing or email.

Latex Balloons
Never allow children to suck, chew or play with un-inflated balloons.
Supervise your children at all times if they are playing with balloons.
Discard all broken pieces of balloons immediately.
Adults should always inflate balloons for children.
Balloons can spread germs. Never put a balloon in your mouth after it has been in someone else’s mouth.
Some people are allergic to latex. Foil balloons are an excellent choice instead of latex balloons in this situation.
Try to keep balloons away from faces. If a balloon bursts it can hurt an eye or face.
When inflating balloons with air, it is better to use a hand-pump than blow them up orally as they may burst in your face.
Helium
WARNING: You should never deliberately inhale helium. It is an asphyxiate and can cause suffocation, even death.
Never allow children or any unauthorised person to handle the cylinder or to use balloon filling equipment.
If transporting the cylinder by car, ensure that the vehicle is well ventilated and the cylinder is well secured.
Ensure cylinders are stored in well ventilated areas and away from direct heat.
Never open the cylinder valve without fitting an inflator nozzle first. Then proceed to open the valve slowly.
Always wear eye protection.
Inflating balloons, always point the balloon and inflator nozzle away from you.
Remember to close the cylinder valve after use.
Always use a trolley to move large cylinders – even over a short distance. Never try to move them alone. If a trolley is unavailable, enlist the help of others to help you move the cylinder.
In use, fasten the cylinder in an upright position to a secure support. Cylinders can cause serious injury if they fall over or roll onto you.
Never use equipment which may be damaged. Under no circumstances attempt to repair any item of equipment. Call us if in doubt.
