1. RENTAL AGREEMENT

Renter agrees to rent the equipment identified in the applicable reservation or order from Cardinal Bounce Houses subject to all terms contained in this Agreement.

Renter represents that they are at least eighteen (18) years of age and have authority to enter into this Agreement.

2. PAYMENT AND DEPOSIT

A deposit may be required to secure the reservation.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the remaining rental balance must be paid before or at the time of delivery.

Failure to make required payment may result in cancellation of the reservation and forfeiture of amounts permitted under the applicable cancellation policy.

Renter remains responsible for any additional charges authorized under this Agreement.

3. CANCELLATIONS

Cancellations made at least 72 hours before the scheduled rental are eligible for a refund of the deposit unless otherwise stated at the time of booking.

Cancellations made less than 72 hours before the scheduled rental may result in forfeiture of the deposit.

Once equipment has been delivered and setup has been completed, rental payments are non-refundable except when otherwise required by law or expressly approved by Cardinal Bounce Houses.

4. WEATHER AND UNSAFE CONDITIONS

Cardinal Bounce Houses reserves the right to refuse delivery, postpone setup, shut down equipment, or cancel a rental whenever weather or site conditions are reasonably believed to be unsafe.

Unsafe conditions may include, but are not limited to:

• High winds or wind gusts
• Lightning or thunderstorms
• Heavy rain
• Standing water
• Severe weather warnings
• Unsafe ground conditions
• Any other condition that may create an unreasonable safety risk

If Cardinal Bounce Houses cancels a rental before setup because of unsafe conditions, Renter may receive a refund or reschedule as determined under the Company's weather policy.

If Renter voluntarily cancels when Cardinal Bounce Houses has determined conditions are acceptable for operation, the normal cancellation policy applies.

Renter must immediately discontinue use and evacuate the inflatable if weather becomes unsafe during the rental.

5. DELIVERY AND SETUP

Delivery and pickup times are estimates unless Cardinal Bounce Houses expressly guarantees a specific time in writing.

Renter is responsible for providing an appropriate setup area before Company personnel arrive.

• Large enough for the equipment and required safety clearance
• Accessible to Company personnel and equipment
• Free from underground or overhead hazards
• Suitable for anchoring and operating the rented equipment

Renter must disclose the setup surface before delivery, including whether the equipment will be installed on grass, concrete, asphalt, indoors, or another surface.

Renter is responsible for identifying sprinkler systems, septic systems, underground utilities, irrigation lines, electrical lines, or other concealed hazards in the setup area.

6. ELECTRICAL AND WATER REQUIREMENTS

Renter must provide adequate electrical service within 50 feet of the equipment unless otherwise arranged.

Renter agrees not to connect additional equipment to circuits being used by inflatable blowers if doing so may overload the circuit.

For wet rentals, Renter is responsible for providing an adequate functioning water connection and water supply unless otherwise agreed.

Cardinal Bounce Houses is not responsible for interruption of use caused by inadequate electrical service, tripped breakers, lack of water pressure, or utilities supplied by Renter.

7. EQUIPMENT USE AND SAFETY RULES

Equipment capacity and manufacturer restrictions must be followed at all times.

8. ADULT SUPERVISION

A responsible adult who is at least eighteen (18) years old must actively supervise the equipment whenever it is available for use.

The inflatable may not be operated or made available to participants without appropriate adult supervision.

9. BLOWER OPERATION AND LOSS OF POWER

Inflatable blowers must remain operating continuously while the equipment is in use.

Blowers, cords, and electrical connections must not be disconnected, covered, relocated, or altered.

If electrical power is interrupted, a blower stops functioning, or the inflatable begins losing pressure:

ALL PARTICIPANTS MUST EXIT THE EQUIPMENT IMMEDIATELY.

The equipment must not be used again until it is fully reinflated and safe operation has been restored.

10. NO RELOCATION OR ALTERATION

Renter may not move, relocate, reposition, disconnect, modify, deflate, re-anchor, or otherwise alter the equipment after Cardinal Bounce Houses completes setup unless specifically authorized by the Company.

Renter is responsible for damage or injuries resulting from unauthorized relocation or alteration.

11. CARE AND POSSESSION OF EQUIPMENT

Renter assumes responsibility for the equipment from the time it is delivered until it is retrieved by Cardinal Bounce Houses.

Renter must take reasonable precautions to prevent theft, vandalism, misuse, damage, or unauthorized use.

Equipment may not be loaned, subleased, or transferred to another person or location without written permission from Cardinal Bounce Houses.

12. DAMAGE, LOSS, AND CLEANING

Renter is responsible for damage occurring during the rental period beyond ordinary wear and tear when caused by misuse, negligence, unauthorized relocation, prohibited substances, improper supervision, or violation of this Agreement.

Additional charges may apply for excessive cleaning, including contamination from food, gum, candy, mud, paint, silly string, confetti, bodily fluids, or other substances.

Renter may also be responsible for reasonable repair or replacement costs for damaged or missing equipment.

14. RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY INDIANA LAW, Renter, for themselves and to the extent legally permitted on behalf of their heirs, representatives, and assigns, releases and discharges Cardinal Bounce Houses, its owners, members, employees, contractors, representatives, and agents from claims arising from the ordinary risks associated with the rental and use of the equipment.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, this release is intended to include claims arising from the ordinary negligence of Cardinal Bounce Houses or its personnel.

Nothing in this Agreement is intended to release Cardinal Bounce Houses from liability that cannot legally be waived, including liability arising from gross negligence, reckless misconduct, intentional misconduct, or other conduct for which liability cannot lawfully be excluded.

15. RESPONSIBILITY FOR PARTICIPANTS

Renter acknowledges that multiple individuals, including minors, may use the rented equipment.

Renter accepts responsibility for controlling access to the equipment, providing appropriate supervision, and communicating and enforcing all safety requirements.

Renter agrees not to permit anyone to use the equipment who cannot safely participate or who refuses to follow the applicable safety rules.

16. INDEMNIFICATION

• Failure to supervise participants
• Violation of this Agreement
• Unauthorized relocation or modification of equipment
• Conditions at the rental property or event location within Renter's control
• Acts or omissions of Renter or persons for whom Renter is legally responsible

This provision does not require Renter to indemnify Cardinal Bounce Houses for liability that cannot legally be shifted or waived under Indiana law.

17. CREDIT CARD AUTHORIZATION

Renter authorizes Cardinal Bounce Houses to charge the payment method provided for amounts legitimately owed under the rental transaction, including:

• Outstanding rental balances
• Authorized extensions
• Damage to equipment
• Missing equipment
• Excessive cleaning

• Safety instructions are being ignored
• Equipment is being abused or intentionally damaged
• Weather conditions have become unsafe
• Required adult supervision is not being provided
• Conditions pose a danger to participants, equipment, or property

Termination of use because of Renter's violation of this Agreement does not automatically entitle Renter to a refund.

To the extent legally permissible, any legal proceeding arising from this Agreement shall be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction located in Johnson County, Indiana.
