Payment & Cancellation Policy

An invoice will be raised for 100% of your booking and 50% deposit is payable to HZ Entertainment Ltd for events & Hamsterzorb Ltd for parties to confirm the booking.

 

A deposit of 50% on booking is required to secure your booking and the balance is due within 30 days prior to your event. Once deposit is paid this is non-refundable. A receipt in the form of an e-mail will be sent to the Hirer to confirm money has been received.

 

Hamsterzorb has the right to cancel the booking if:

– a deposit is not made within 30 days of booking

– the Hirer fails to pay the invoice in full by the due date

– the Venue, Location or Event is being held on a date, time or location that is; illegal, unsafe or a risk to health of the operator or attendees.

 

In the instance where the Hirer cancels their booking:

– and a deposit has been paid, this deposit is non-refundable

– within 60 days of the event date and the invoice is paid in full, the full amount is non-refundable

– before the 60 day period and has paid in full, then 40% of the money paid will be refunded.

 

This is because we decline other work for your booking.

 

If the Hirer would like to move their booking to another date or time, they have the full right to do so, if that date is available to move the booking to, in accordance to the Hamsterzorb booking system. However, a change of date and time will need to be put to us in writing via e-mail to confirm the changes required.

No refunds will be given due to low use of the zorb hire throughout the event or due to the location being unsuitable. We recommend you do an event inspection to ensure there is sufficient space for the zorb hire and there is access to electric. We can supply a generator for £50+VAT should you require a generator.
