Weather: Client understands that tents are temporary structures designed to provide limited protection from weather conditions, primarily sun and rain; however there may be situations, particularly those involving strong winds and lightning, in which tents will not provide protection and may even be damaged or blown over. Evacuation of tents to avoid possible injury is recommended when severe weather threatens the area where the tent is erected. People must leave the tents and not seek shelter in tents during such conditions.

Because it may be difficult to determine if the weather is severe enough to necessitate evacuation, it is best to err on the side of caution. In other words, if in doubt, evacuate.

Cleanup/Preparation For Pickup: All floral arrangements, trash, and decorations of any kind should be removed from tent before scheduled pickup time. Client assumes responsibility for all damages caused by decorations. Please be aware that some decorations can cause a permanent stain on the tent, linen, and other rental items. Please ask if you are unsure to avoid the cost of damages. Decorations must not affect the structural integrity of the tent. All chairs and tables should be stacked as delivered.

All dishes, glassware and cooking equipment should be returned to proper rack or container and assembled at a single location for pickup. Dishes, glassware, and flatware must be well rinsed, and food- and particle-free.

Linen: Please be aware that fabric variations due to washing, normal use, and dye lot differences are part of the unique character of rental linens. Linens should be returned food and particle-free and be shaken out and put into laundry bags provided. Linens that are returned with burns, holes, tears, or are permanently stained due to negligence will be billed at replacement cost.
