Disclaimer: We reserve the right to publish digital images (photographs) from
your event on our internet site. If you do not wish for photographs to be used
on our website, please contact us and we will note and respect this request. We
will endeavour to take as many photos as possible on the night however there is
no minimum amount.

to 4 months before the event then there is no extra charge. If the disco is

charged. After this time the disco will be charged at full rate.
7. Payment Terms: Unless
agreed otherwise in writing the full balance must be paid 1 working day before
the date of the Hire Period. If payment in full is not received by Disco Heaven
before the date of the Hire Period, the Client will be deemed to have
terminated the Agreement and will be liable to cancellation charges as set out
above.
8. Timings: Whilst every
effort is made to ensure our timely arrival at your event, in the event of
uncontrollable circumstances our liability shall be limited to a pro rata
reduction in the hire fee in the event of a delayed start. Alternatively or if
agreed with the customer the hire shall be extended to recover any lost time
from the delayed start. We will not accept liability for any late starts caused
by the client or the venue.
9. The Client must satisfy
themselves at the time of delivery that all equipment ordered has been
delivered and our attention should be drawn to any miscounts, omissions or
damaged equipment prior to the commencement of the function.
10. No Title to Hirer: The
equipment is hired by Disco Heaven to the Client for the Hire Period at the
Hire Charge set out in the Agreement and the Client shall be a mere bailey of
the equipment and no interest or title in the equipment shall pass to the
Client. This Agreement is personal to the Client and is not capable of
assignment for sub-hire nor may the Client part with possession of the
equipment.
11. Power Supply: All of our
equipment requires a 240 volt 13amp socket power supply within 5 meters reach.
We always carry 5-10m of extension cables and tape to secure a safe power
supply but the client should always bear this in mind when positioning the
disco show or equipment hired in their plans. In some cases we will require a
three phase connection although we can provide a distribution pack. This will
be agreed with the Client by contract.
12. Site, Site Access,
Parking & Tolls: We require a safe access to the site which meets
environmental health standards. If the event is in Central London a congestion
chare will be added to the balance. Parking expenses will be charged back to
the client or billed in advance. Parking tickets obtained through the operators
incorrect parking will not be paid by the client; however some venues have a 15
minute unloading time which is unrealistic for large equipment rentals. Tickets
obtained while unloading at such sites will be charged back to the client.
13. Public Liability
Insurance: Disco Heaven holds £5 million public liability insurance.
Copies of our certificate are available upon request.
14. Liability to Third
Parties: Disco Heaven will not be liable for any claim for personal injury,
death, loss or damage to property howsoever caused unless it is proved that
such injury was caused by faulty material, workmanship or negligence on the
part of Disco Heaven.
15. Frustration: Disco
Heaven shall not be responsible for any failure in the performance of any of
its obligations under the Agreement caused by factors outside of its control,
including but not restricted to, trade disputes, fire, Act of God, War, civil
emergencies, failure, breakdown or restrictions on the use of transport, fuel
or power.
16. Customer Collections for
Dry Hire: The client may collect selected items from Disco Heaven. We require
production of a valid UK photo card driving license or passport, supported by a
bank statement or utility bill. Credit/Debit card details will be required as a
security deposit for the booking. Whilst every effort will be made to ensure
the client has full operation details of the equipment (verbal and written
instructions) Disco Heaven will not be held responsible for equipment being set
up incorrectly. All equipment must be returned by midday the following day,
unless otherwise agreed between Disco Heaven and the client. When equipment is
returned it will be inspected for damage. If damage is evident, an additional
charge may be levied on the deposit provided as security.
17. Damage: Any damage that
occurs to Disco Heaven equipment during a hire period that is not caused by a
Disco Heaven member of staff is at the liability of the client and will be
subject to a repair or replacement charge at the current market value.
Insurance of the equipment is the responsibility of the Client.
18. Venue: Please note that
some venues do not allow atmospehric effects, there will be no reduction on
package prices if we canot use these effects as they are only used to enhance
certain lighting effects.
19. Venue Damage: The client
agrees that damage caused to a private venue as a result of a guest is not the
responsibility of Disco Heaven.
20. During your Event:
During an event if Disco Heaven staff are at anytime under verbal or physical
abuse, or if we feel that the Equipment has been misused and are no longer
following health and safety rules, Disco Heaven reserve the right to remove the
equipment with no reimbursement to the client.

enter upon the premises upon which the equipment is for a time being placed or
kept for the purpose of inspecting and examining the condition of the
equipment.

responsible for all equipment from time of delivery to date of collection, any
loss or damage will be charged at replacement cost, no substitutes will be
