Hire Periods

The hire period will be as agreed in advance by both parties. If we are unable to start at the agreed time due to poor access to the venue or being refused access by the venue (or similar circumstances), then the agreed end time for your hire period will remain in place. If your event starts later than planned or runs later than planned, again our agreed end time will remain in place. Whenever possible we are happy to extend the duration of your hire period at the hourly rate of £80, to avoid disappointment this must be organised and paid for as far in advance as possible.

Should you need the equipment in place outside of your operational hours (that is your agreed hire time) then ‘idle time’ can be arranged where the booth is in position but not in use at a cost of £40 per hour.

Blooper Photobooths will always make every reasonable effort to attend every event and arrive at the venue at the agreed time. In the event of severe traffic delays, vehicle breakdowns or adverse weather conditions that may prevent us from fulfilling our contractual obligations, Blooper Photobooths will be happy to extend the end time of the hire period to make up for a late start up to a maximum duration of the previously agreed hire period. If this is not possible we will refund you accordingly and proportionally to the time we have been delayed by, relative to the cost of your hire period. No further compensation will be paid irrespective of any other costs or loss of earnings. We will however try to get to your event on time and as soon as we can and always be in contact with you.

It may be necessary for Blooper Photobooths staff to close the booth on occasion for general servicing of the equipment and photo printer, this disruption is minimal and normal practice. If the booth is out of operation due to technical difficulties for more than 15% of your hire period Blooper Photobooths will be happy to extend the end time of hire to make up for time we have been non-operational for to a maximum duration of the previously agreed hire period. If this is not possible we will refund you accordingly and proportionally to the time we have been non-operational for, relative to the cost of your hire period.
