Purple Frog Entertainment — General Terms & Conditions of Hire
Version v1.0 — effective 7 September 2026. Published by Purple Frog Entertainment.
Introduction
These General Terms & Conditions apply to services, attractions, equipment and event experiences supplied by Purple Frog Entertainment.
The person, company or organisation making the booking is referred to in these Terms and Conditions as the Client.
Purple Frog Entertainment is referred to as the Company.
A booking may relate to a service supplied under one of the Company's trading names or brands. The applicable brand, service, event details, price and other booking-specific information will be identified in the quotation, booking confirmation or other written agreement.
These General Terms & Conditions should be read together with any Service-Specific Conditions identified as applying to the booked service.
Where Service-Specific Conditions apply, they form part of the agreement between the Client and the Company.
The Company
All quotations, contracts of hire, invoices and payments are issued by or made to Purple Frog Entertainment, including where the service is marketed or supplied under one of the Company's trading names or brands.
References in customer communications to a particular brand, attraction or service do not change the identity of the contracting party.
Quotations and Bookings
A quotation does not by itself reserve an event date, equipment, staff or other resources.
Unless the Company confirms otherwise in writing, quotations are subject to availability until the booking has been confirmed in accordance with these Terms.
The quotation or booking confirmation will specify the services to be provided, the agreed price and other material booking details.
Any optional extras, additional services or special requirements are included only where they are specifically stated in the quotation or otherwise agreed in writing.
Deposit and Booking Confirmation
Unless otherwise stated in the quotation, a 50% non-refundable deposit is required to secure a booking.
The deposit is payable upon presentation of the relevant deposit invoice.
No date, equipment, staff or other resource is reserved or contractually committed until:
- the Client has accepted the applicable quotation and Terms & Conditions;
- the required deposit has been paid in full and cleared funds have been received; and
- the Company has confirmed the booking.
Until those requirements have been satisfied, the requested event date remains provisional and may remain available to other clients.
Where a booking is made within 14 days of the event date, the Company may require the full booking fee to be paid at the time of booking.
Payment details and accepted payment methods will be provided on the relevant invoice.
Remaining Balance
Unless otherwise stated in the quotation or agreed in writing, the remaining balance must be paid no later than 14 days before the event.
Where payment has not been received by the required date, the Company reserves the right to suspend preparations for the booking or treat the booking as being in default, subject to any applicable legal rights.
The Client remains responsible for ensuring that payments are made by the required deadlines.
Event and Operating Times
The agreed hire, installation, operating and collection arrangements will be stated in the quotation, booking confirmation or associated booking information.
Different services may have different standard operating periods. The operating period applicable to the Client's booking is the period stated in the booking documentation.
The Client must provide sufficient access before the agreed operating time for the Company to unload, install, inspect, test and prepare the booked equipment or attraction safely.
The Client must also provide sufficient access following the event for the Company to safely dismantle, load and remove its equipment.
If the Client requests additional operating time, this will be subject to staff availability, venue restrictions, equipment availability and safe operating conditions.
Additional time may incur an additional charge.
If an event starts late for reasons outside the Company's control, the originally agreed finish time will normally continue to apply unless otherwise agreed in writing.
Cancellation by the Client
All cancellations must be made in writing.
Unless different cancellation terms are expressly stated in the quotation, the following cancellation charges apply:
- More than 28 days before the event: the 50% deposit remains non-refundable.
- Between 28 and 15 days before the event: 75% of the total agreed booking fee will be payable.
- Within 14 days of the event: 100% of the total agreed booking fee will be payable.
Where the Client requests a change of event date, the Company will make reasonable efforts to accommodate the request.
Any transfer of payments to another date is at the Company's discretion and is subject to availability and any additional costs incurred.
Cancellation, Suspension or Changes by the Company
The Company will make reasonable efforts to fulfil every confirmed booking.
The Company reserves the right to alter, suspend or cancel installation or operation where it reasonably considers this necessary because of:
- safety concerns;
- unsuitable site or venue conditions;
- adverse weather or environmental conditions;
- equipment failure;
- venue restrictions;
- access problems;
- circumstances outside the Company's reasonable control; or
- any other circumstance in which continuing would, in the Company's reasonable opinion, be unsafe or impractical.
The Company will not be responsible for consequential losses arising from cancellation, suspension or alteration caused by circumstances outside its reasonable control, subject always to liability which cannot lawfully be excluded.
Where appropriate and reasonably practicable, the Company may offer an alternative arrangement or date, but this cannot be guaranteed.
Circumstances Outside the Company's Reasonable Control
Circumstances outside the Company's reasonable control may include, without limitation:
- extreme or unsafe weather;
- flooding;
- fire;
- transport disruption;
- serious road closures;
- industrial action;
- acts of terrorism;
- war;
- civil disturbance;
- government restrictions;
- epidemics or pandemics;
- quarantine restrictions;
- utility or infrastructure failures; or
- other events which the Company could not reasonably prevent or control.
Where such circumstances affect a booking, the Company will act reasonably in considering what alternative arrangements, if any, can be offered.
Site and Venue Requirements
The Client is responsible for ensuring that the proposed venue and operating area are appropriate for the service booked.
The Client must provide accurate information requested by the Company concerning matters including:
- venue;
- operating location;
- available space;
- surface;
- access;
- expected attendance;
- installation restrictions;
- venue rules;
- parking and loading;
- known hazards; and
- other matters relevant to safe and practical delivery of the service.
The specific space, surface, access, power or other requirements of an attraction or service may be stated in the applicable Service-Specific Conditions or booking documentation.
The Company reserves the right to refuse installation or operation where the venue, site or proposed operating area is unsuitable or cannot reasonably be made safe.
Access and Delivery
The Client must provide suitable access for the Company's vehicles, staff and equipment.
The Client must disclose any known restrictions which may affect delivery, unloading, installation, operation or collection.
These may include:
- narrow entrances;
- restricted doors or gates;
- height or weight restrictions;
- stairs or steps;
- lifts;
- narrow corridors;
- tight turns;
- bollards or barriers;
- pedestrianised areas;
- loading restrictions;
- parking restrictions;
- soft or unsuitable ground;
- security procedures;
- supplier inductions; or
- significant distances between the unloading point and operating area.
The Client must provide information that is accurate to the best of their knowledge and must notify the Company promptly if access arrangements change.
Additional charges may apply where unusual or previously undisclosed access arrangements require additional staff, equipment, transport or installation time.
If the Company is unable to deliver, install or safely remove equipment because access or venue information is materially different from that supplied by the Client, the Client may remain liable for the booking fee and any reasonable additional costs incurred, subject to applicable law.
Service-Specific Conditions may impose additional access requirements because of the dimensions, weight or construction of particular equipment.
Installation and Dismantling
Company equipment must only be installed, assembled, positioned, connected, adjusted, dismantled or removed by Company staff or persons specifically authorised by the Company unless otherwise expressly agreed.
The Client, venue staff, participants and members of the public must not move, alter, disconnect or interfere with Company equipment or safety systems.
The operating area must remain available for a reasonable period before and after the event to allow safe installation and removal.
Operation and Supervision
Where an operator is included with the booked service, the Company's operator is responsible for the safe operation of the Company's attraction or equipment within the Company's agreed scope of services.
Instructions given by Company staff concerning safe operation must be followed.
The Company's operator has final operational authority regarding matters affecting the safe use of Company equipment, including the ability to:
- regulate participant numbers;
- determine participant suitability where reasonably necessary;
- alter operating procedures;
- temporarily suspend operation;
- prevent unsafe use; or
- close an attraction where reasonably necessary for safety.
The Company may temporarily suspend operation for safety checks, maintenance, cleaning, adjustment or other reasonable operational purposes.
Participants and Safe Behaviour
Participants must follow reasonable safety instructions given by Company staff.
Participants must not deliberately misuse, damage, move or interfere with the Company's equipment.
The Company may refuse participation or remove a person from an attraction where that person:
- appears intoxicated or under the influence of drugs;
- behaves aggressively, abusively or recklessly;
- refuses to follow reasonable safety instructions;
- deliberately misuses equipment; or
- otherwise presents a reasonable risk to themselves, other participants, staff or equipment.
No refund will normally be provided solely because an individual participant has been refused access or removed for legitimate safety or behavioural reasons.
Additional participant requirements may apply to particular attractions and will be set out in the relevant Service-Specific Conditions.
Children and Vulnerable Participants
Where children participate, the Client remains responsible for ensuring that appropriate parental or guardian permissions and wider event supervision arrangements are in place.
Company staff are responsible for operating the Company's attraction or equipment within the agreed service but are not responsible for general childcare, supervising children elsewhere at the event, recording attendance or ensuring children are collected by an appropriate adult unless expressly agreed as part of the service.
Where a participant requires additional assistance, the Client should inform the Company sufficiently in advance so that reasonable arrangements can be considered.
Health and Participant Suitability
Participants should not use an attraction or take part in an activity where a medical condition, injury, disability or other circumstance would make participation unsafe.
Where appropriate, participants should consider their own circumstances and obtain suitable medical advice if necessary.
The Client is responsible for obtaining any participant information, parental permissions or consents required for the wider event.
Any attraction-specific restrictions or guidance will be stated in the relevant Service-Specific Conditions or communicated by Company staff.
Alcohol, Drugs and Unsafe Behaviour
The Company reserves the right to refuse participation to, or remove from its attraction or operating area, any person who appears to be intoxicated, under the influence of drugs, aggressive, abusive or otherwise behaving in a manner that may endanger themselves, other participants, Company staff, venue staff or equipment.
No refund will be payable solely because a participant has been refused access or removed for legitimate safety or behavioural reasons.
Staff Safety and Conduct
Company staff are entitled to work in a safe environment.
Abusive, threatening, discriminatory, intimidating or violent behaviour towards Company staff will not be tolerated.
The Company reserves the right to suspend or terminate operation immediately where the safety or welfare of its staff is reasonably considered to be at risk.
Where operation is terminated because of the conduct of the Client, its employees, contractors, guests, attendees, venue personnel or members of the public, no refund will normally be payable.
Damage to Equipment
The Client must take reasonable steps to prevent deliberate or negligent damage to Company equipment.
Unauthorised interference with Company equipment or safety systems is prohibited.
The Client may be charged for damage caused by the Client, its employees, contractors, guests or participants where the damage results from deliberate acts, negligence, misuse or failure to follow reasonable instructions.
Charges may include reasonable repair, replacement, specialist cleaning and associated costs.
The Company reserves the right to take appropriate legal action in cases of deliberate or malicious damage.
Personal Belongings
Participants are responsible for their own belongings.
The Company accepts no responsibility for loss, theft or damage to personal possessions brought to or left at an attraction except to the extent that the loss or damage is caused by the Company's negligence or where liability cannot lawfully be excluded.
Photography and Filming
Clients and participants may take photographs and videos where this can be done safely and does not interfere with the operation of the attraction, subject to any venue rules and Service-Specific Conditions.
Professional photographers, videographers and other suppliers must not obstruct access routes, safety equipment, operating staff or participant areas.
The Client is responsible for obtaining any permissions or consents which the Client is legally required to obtain in relation to photography or filming at its event.
The Company will handle any identifiable photographs or recordings it creates or uses in accordance with applicable data protection law.
Photography, video production, printing or other media services are not included unless specifically stated in the quotation.
Liability
The Company will take reasonable care in the delivery, installation, operation and supervision of its equipment and services.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability which cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including liability for death or personal injury caused by the Company's negligence.
Subject to applicable law, the Company will not be responsible for loss or damage arising from:
- failure to follow reasonable safety instructions;
- misuse or unauthorised interference with equipment;
- unsafe or reckless behaviour;
- inaccurate or incomplete information supplied by the Client;
- unsuitable venue or site conditions not disclosed to the Company;
- restrictions imposed by a venue or authority which were not disclosed in advance;
- circumstances outside the Company's reasonable control; or
- loss of or damage to personal belongings except where caused by the Company's negligence.
The Client remains responsible for organisation and management of the wider event and matters outside the Company's agreed scope of services.
Insurance
The Company will maintain appropriate insurance for its business operations as required.
The Client is responsible for arranging any insurance appropriate to the wider event, venue and activities for which the Client is responsible.
Where an event may be materially affected by adverse weather or other circumstances outside the parties' control, the Client should consider obtaining appropriate event cancellation insurance.
Changes to a Booking
Requests to change the:
- event date;
- venue;
- operating hours;
- service;
- access arrangements; or
- other material booking details
must be made in writing.
The Company will make reasonable efforts to accommodate requested changes but cannot guarantee that a change will be possible.
Where a change results in additional travel, staffing, equipment, accommodation, transport or other costs, the Company reserves the right to revise the booking price.
If a requested change cannot be accommodated, the original booking will remain binding unless otherwise agreed in writing.
Delays
The Company will make reasonable efforts to arrive with sufficient time to prepare the booked service for the agreed operating period.
The Company will not be responsible for delays caused by circumstances outside its reasonable control, including severe traffic disruption, road closures, accidents, extreme weather or venue access problems.
Where a delay is caused by the Client, venue, another supplier or undisclosed access restrictions, the agreed finish time will normally remain unchanged and no refund will normally be payable for resulting lost operating time.
Cleaning and Excessive Soiling
Normal cleaning associated with ordinary use is included unless otherwise stated.
The Client may be charged reasonable additional cleaning or remediation costs where equipment is returned excessively dirty or contaminated as a result of misuse, prohibited materials or failure to follow operating instructions.
The Client should obtain the Company's approval before using materials such as confetti, glitter, silly string, paint, powders or other substances close to Company equipment where they could cause damage or excessive cleaning.
Safety Decisions
Reasonable safety decisions made by Company staff in relation to Company equipment and services are final.
The Client acknowledges that Company staff may reduce participant numbers, pause operation, alter procedures, restrict use or close an attraction where reasonably necessary to maintain safe operation.
No person may require or pressure Company staff to disregard safety procedures, risk assessments, manufacturer instructions or other applicable safety requirements.
Client Responsibilities
The Client is responsible for supplying accurate and sufficiently complete information concerning the event.
This includes information relating to:
- venue;
- access;
- operating surface;
- available space;
- expected attendance;
- event timings;
- venue restrictions;
- known hazards;
- loading and parking arrangements; and
- any other matter reasonably relevant to delivering the booked service.
The Client must obtain any permissions required from the venue, landowner or relevant authority for installation and operation of the booked service where obtaining those permissions is the Client's responsibility.
Any permits, licences or venue approvals which are the Client's responsibility must be obtained before the event.
The Client must communicate relevant venue requirements or restrictions to the Company sufficiently in advance.
Information Supplied by the Client
The Company is entitled to plan the booking using information supplied by the Client.
The Client must inform the Company promptly if information previously supplied becomes inaccurate or circumstances change.
Where inaccurate, incomplete or undisclosed information results in additional work, travel, staffing, equipment or other reasonable costs, the Company may charge those additional costs.
Where the information supplied means that the service cannot safely or practically be installed or operated, the Company may refuse installation or operation and the Client may remain liable for the applicable booking charges, subject to applicable law.
Complaints
Any concerns arising during an event should be raised with the Company's operator or representative as soon as reasonably possible so that the Company has an opportunity to address them.
Any formal complaint following an event should be submitted to the Company in writing with sufficient information to investigate the matter.
The Company will make reasonable efforts to investigate and respond promptly.
Data Protection
Personal information supplied in connection with a quotation or booking will be handled in accordance with applicable UK data protection legislation.
Information may be used for purposes reasonably connected with:
- administering enquiries and bookings;
- providing contracted services;
- processing and recording payments;
- communicating with the Client;
- planning and operating events;
- maintaining appropriate business records; and
- meeting the Company's legal and operational obligations.
Further information about the Company's handling of personal information should be provided in the applicable Privacy Policy.
Service-Specific Conditions
Some services have additional requirements because of their construction, operation, location, access requirements, participant requirements or other characteristics.
Where Service-Specific Conditions are identified in the quotation or booking process as applying to a service, those conditions form part of the agreement between the Client and the Company.
The Client must ensure that any venue or other relevant third party is made aware of service requirements which affect the venue, access or installation.
If there is an inconsistency between these General Terms and applicable Service-Specific Conditions concerning an operational requirement specific to the booked attraction, the applicable Service-Specific Conditions will take precedence in relation to that requirement.
Changes to these Terms or the Booking Agreement
No variation to the agreed booking or the Terms applicable to that booking will be binding unless agreed in writing by the Company and the Client.
Changes made by the Company to its standard Terms after a booking has been accepted will not retrospectively replace the version of the Terms applicable to that booking, unless the parties expressly agree otherwise.
General
If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to apply.
A failure by the Company to enforce a provision on one occasion does not constitute a waiver of its right to enforce that provision subsequently.
Nothing in these Terms affects any statutory rights which cannot lawfully be excluded or restricted.
Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms and any contract between the Company and the Client are governed by the laws of England and Wales, unless otherwise required by applicable law.
Any dispute arising from the booking will be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales, subject to any mandatory rights the Client may have as a consumer.
Acceptance of Terms
Before completing a booking, the Client should read:
- these Purple Frog Entertainment General Terms & Conditions of Hire;
- any Service-Specific Conditions applicable to the booked service; and
- the quotation and booking details.
By accepting the quotation and completing the Company's required booking process, the Client confirms that they have read, understood and agree to the Terms applicable to the booking.
The applicable version of the Terms and Service-Specific Conditions should be identified and retained with the booking record.
