DIY PARTY IN A BOX - RENTAL POLICIES

Rental Policies:

Thank you for choosing DIY Party in a Box! We want every rental experience to be fun, easy, and stress-free. Please review the following policies before booking.


Reservations & Payment

A rental date is not guaranteed until the required rental packet has been completed and confirmation has been provided by DIY Party in a Box. Reservations are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.

Customers have 24 hours from the time the rental packet is sent to complete all reservation requirements, including the signed Rental Agreement, payment of the refundable security deposit, and providing a valid card on file. If all requirements are not completed within 24 hours, the requested rental items will be released and made available to other customers without further notice.

For reservations made during the same week as the rental, all reservation requirements must be completed the same day the rental packet is sent. If not completed that day, the requested items will be released and made available to other customers.


Card on File

A valid debit or credit card is required for all rentals. The card on file must remain active and available until all rented items have been returned, inspected, and the rental has been closed. Customers may not lock, freeze, or otherwise restrict the card in any way that prevents authorized charges. If the card on file is lost, stolen expires, or is replaced, the customer must notify DIY Party in a Box Rentals right away and provide a valid replacement card. 


Pickup & Return

All rentals are picked up on Friday and returned on Monday unless otherwise agreed upon in writing. Customers are responsible for transporting all rental items safely and securely. Items must be returned by the agreed-upon return time. Late returns may be subject to additional fees.


Delivery Policy

DIY Party in a Box is primarily a pickup service, helping you save money while enjoying an amazing party experience. But, if you need delivery, we may be able to help!

  • Delivery may be available for an additional fee based on distance and availability. 
  • Delivery must be arranged in advance. 
  • Delivery includes drop-off and pickup of rental items. Set up is NOT included.
  • Delivery is to ground-floor locations only. We do not carry rental equipment up or down stairs, into upper-level apartments, or to locations that require elevator access.  
  • Someone 18 years or older must be present to accept delivery and return the equipment. 
  • Delivery times are scheduled within an agreed-upon time window, by appointment. 
  • Additional fees may apply for long walking distances, or locations that require extra time.


Cancellation & Rescheduling

We understand that plans can change.

  • Cancellations made 21 or more days before the rental date are eligible for a full refund.
  • Cancellations made 15 - 20 days before the rental date are eligible for a 50% refund or a full rental credit toward a future booking.
  • Cancellations made less than 14 days before the rental date are not eligible for a refund.

In certain situations, including family emergencies, serious illness, or severe weather, Party in a Box may offer a one-time rescheduling credit at its sole discretion. Rental credits must be used within 12 months of the original rental date.


Equipment Care

Customers are responsible for all rental items from the time of pickup until the time they are returned. Please treat all equipment with care and use it only for its intended purpose. Customers may be charged for missing, damaged, excessively dirty, or broken items beyond normal wear and tear. 


Weather Policy

Most DIY Party in a Box rentals can be used indoors or outdoors. However, customers are responsible for monitoring weather conditions and protecting rental items from rain, excessive moisture, high winds, and other potentially damaging conditions. Refunds will not be issued due to unfavorable weather. Rescheduling may be offered when inventory and scheduling permit.


Safety

Adult supervision is required whenever rental equipment is being used by children. Customers assume responsibility for the safe use of all rented items and for the supervision of all guests during the rental period.

DIY Party in a Box is not responsible for injuries resulting from misuse, improper setup, lack of supervision, or failure to follow safety guidelines.


Mid-Week Rentals

Our standard rental period is designed for weekend events, with pickup on Friday and return on Monday.


Mid-week rentals may be available on a limited, case-by-case basis depending on inventory availability and scheduling. Because our business is primarily set up for weekend rentals, mid-week bookings are considered exceptions and are not guaranteed.


If you are interested in a mid-week rental, please contact us before booking. Additional fees, modified rental periods, or special pickup and return times may apply.


We appreciate your understanding as we work to accommodate special requests while ensuring all equipment is available and ready for upcoming reservations.
