Please Note - We always ensure our balloon displays are to the highest quality. We will never deliver balloons if they do not meet our high standards, however once the displays have left our possession, we hold no responsibility for replacing popped or damaged balloons. COVID 19 - Due to massive stock shortages as a result of COVID 19, it may not always be possible to get a precise colour match for certain foil balloons e.g. numbers or letters. We will always try our best to match the shade of your foil balloons to be the same however on occasions where we are unable to, we may have to use alternative brands and there may be a slight difference in the shade of the colour of your balloons. Please also be aware our patterned double stuffed balloons are heavier than our normal balloons. Sometimes in the summer months, the hot weather can cause these balloons to deflate at a faster rate than normal. Similarly, in winter months, balloons can deflate at a faster rate as a result of the cold weather. As circumstances and weather conditions vary, this is not always the case and balloons can show no signs of deflation. By ordering these displays, you accept the risks associated with these balloons. If deflation does occur, we recommend removing the outer balloon leaving the inner balloon which should float without issue. Incidents are assessed on a case to case basis. Please contact us for more information. Storage - If you plan to store your balloons from the point of delivery/collection, we advise taking the displays out of their bag to breathe. Balloons should be stored at room temperature. Cold and/or hot temperatures can cause balloons to deflate at a faster rate. The helium inside foil balloons can compress when in cold temperatures, we advise leaving your balloons for half an hour in room temperature if they have been transported or stored in a cold location. Sale/Clearance Stock - Please note that clearance sale stock may be up to 5 years old and therefore the quality of the balloons may have decreased over time resulting in faults or shorter inflation times. By choosing to order clearance stock, you accept the risks associated with buying older, poorer quality stock and therefore we hold no responsibility for the quality of this stock and you will not be eligible for a refund as clearance stock has already been discounted for any damaged goods. Face Painting & Glitter Tattoos

Face painting & glitter tattoo bookings are secured by full balloon payment. These services can be paid 10 days prior to your event or in cash on the day of the event. Parents/guardians or the event organiser must sign a consent form prior to the service beginning. We do ask each child if they are allergic to the products before use. Please find the consent form conditions below:

We only use Snazaroo products which are skin friendly and are easy to apply and remove. Snazaroo is fully compliant with the EU (European Union) and FDA (Food and Drug Administration) toy and cosmetics regulations. All Snazaroo products are water-based, so they are easy to remove. Simply wash off with warm soapy water or use gentle face wipes. Please note that due to the high pigment content some colours may stain skin temporarily. Use your usual washing method to remove stains on clothes (depending on fabric and colour some stains my be permanent). We will be as careful as possible when painting, however, accept no responsibility for stains on fabrics. As with any cosmetics, some people may be sensitive to any/all of the ingredients. We will not be held liable in the event of any reaction. If a reaction should occur, please seek medical advice. Our glitter tattoos are provided by the Beauty Box Boutique. We use plastic stencils, hypoallergenic sensitive cosmetic glue and glitter. Tattoos are waterproof and can last up to 7 days. Soaking the tattoo in hot soapy water and gently scrubbing the skin can remove the tattoos prematurely. In order to ensure every child has the opportunity to have their face painted, we advise one face painter per 6-10 children per hour.
