- We do not have enough items in our inventory to fulfill the order request.

- Your delivery address is only accessible if using vehicles smaller than our standard delivery trucks and we are unable to accommodate the requested order in a smaller vehicle.

Canceling a Paid Order
Per our Rental Agreement, if the Renter decides to cancel a fully paid order, the following will apply: If the order or a part of the order is cancelled - for any reason - more than 5 business days before the scheduled delivery date, 50% of the total amount paid will be refunded to the credit card use to pay for the order within 7 business days after the originally scheduled delivery date. If the order or a part of the order is cancelled - for any reason - 5 business days or less before the scheduled delivery date, 0% of the total amount paid will be refunded. Any amount not refunded to the customer may be issued as a store credit by BBS. Any store credit issued will expire 1 year from the date it is issued.
Canceling a Paid Order Due to Rain, Inclement or Severe Weather
This policy only applies to events that are scheduled to occur outdoors without appropriate shelter and with rental items belonging to BBS that cannot or should not be used or exposed to rain, high winds (15 mph or greater), inclement or severe weather. This policy does not apply to indoor events on a day that it is raining or experiencing inclement or severe weather. This policy also does not apply to an outdoor event with BBS rental items that are able to be used or set up in the rain or during inclement or severe weather conditions as determined by BBS. If Renter intends to use any items in the order outdoors, Renter must monitor the weather forecast for the Delivery Address zip code on www.weather.gov. BBS will not monitor the weather for Renter leading up to the scheduled delivery date. Renter assumes all risks, liability and associated costs that may come with planning an outdoor event including unexpected weather events. If rain, high winds, inclement or severe weather is forecast to occur in the Delivery Address zip code with a probability of 20% or greater anytime during the start of the Delivery Arrival Window and the end of the Return Arrival Window AND the Renter has items that can only be used outdoors in their order, Renter may choose one of the following options:
- OPTION 1 - Renter may cancel the entire order no later than 5:00 PM the day before the scheduled delivery date to receive a refund of 50% of the total amount that they have paid for the order. The renter must request this cancellation in writing via email message to support@bigblueskyparty.com no later than 5:00 PM the day before the scheduled delivery date. If the email is sent after 5:00 PM, no refund will be considered.
- OPTION 2 - Renter may cancel delivery only of items in the order that cannot be used in the rain, high winds or during inclement or severe weather. If Renter chooses to only cancel a part of the order, Renter may receive a refund of 50% of the amount they have paid for the cancelled items only. The renter must request the cancellation of these items in writing via email message to support@bigblueskyparty.com no later than 5:00 PM the day before the scheduled delivery date. If the email is sent after 5:00 PM, no refund will be considered.
- OPTION 3 - Renter may choose to reschedule the entire order delivery to another date at no additional cost or penalty and only if BBS is available to accommodate the order on the new date. This option cannot be guaranteed as all or some of the requested items, delivery or return arrival windows may already be booked for the new date. If BBS is unable to fully reschedule the delivery or return to another date of the Renters choosing, Renter will receive a refund of 50% of the total amount they have paid for the order. The renter must request to reschedule the order in writing via email message to support@bigblueskyparty.com no later than 5:00 PM the day before the scheduled delivery date. If the email is sent after 5:00 PM, no refund will be considered.
Rescheduling a Paid Order
To reschedule a paid order, the Renter must reply to the most recent email they have received from us with their request at least 72 hours before the scheduled delivery date. If we are able to accommodate the order on a different date of the Renters choosing, we will reschedule the entire order one time at no additional cost. If we are not able to accommodate this order on a different date of the Renters choosing, we will cancel the order and a 50% cancellation fee will apply. The Renter will receive a refund for 50% of the total amount paid for the order. Any refund owed will be made to the credit card used to pay for the order and will be processed within 7 business days.

You must contact the officials for the park of your choice to see if they have any such vendor list. You must also notify park officials ahead of time and obtain any permits prior to submitting your order request. If you would like to rent a bounce house or other item that requires electricity at a park, you must obtain the required permits (if any) for the park of your choice. If there are no sources of electricity available to you at the park, you must rent a generator from us. If you own a generator and would like to use it with our equipment, please contact us ahead of time to make sure it is compatible with our equipment.
Rental Malfunction
What do I do if one of my rentals malfunctions?
Although it is not common for one of our products to malfunction during a regular rental, we ask that you call us immediately if any malfunction occurs. Your delivery person will provide you with the number they can be reached at for the duration of your rental on delivery. If we cannot help you over the phone, we will arrive to your location as soon as possible to help you with the item or to provide an adequate replacement.

How long can I keep the rentals?
You can keep the rentals for the entire rental period on the Rental Agreement you sign. The rental period on the Rental Agreement is assigned based on your choices on order placement and our schedule of paid Deliveries & Returns. Most customers choose "Same Day Return" rentals which means that the Rentals will be returned and picked up on the Same Day that they were delivered.
