Setup:
If you plan to set up at a park, please contact us and the park beforehand to determine the requirements. For outdoor setups, we strongly recommend a shaded area or a suitable covering, such as a canopy tent or pavilion, as the soft play equipment can get extremely hot in direct sunlight. Failure to provide a shaded area or covering may result in the inability to use the play area, and we do not offer refunds for this. We will provide a tarp, but please ensure the ground is flat, dry, and clear of glass and debris. We do not set up on dirt, gravel, or rocks under any circumstances. If we arrive and any of these conditions are present, we will not set up and you will forfeit all payments. We communicate these requirements to maintain the equipment in excellent condition for your enjoyment and for the enjoyment of future customers.
Cleaning Fee:
Tikes Toybox can charge a $150 cleaning fee to your card on file if the following has not been adhered to A). Ballpit balls are back in the play area B). No stains, spills, or food in the play area or on play equipment C). Equipment must be removed or moved with prior approval from Tikes Toybox D). The equipment is dry. We allow you to pay with a different method before charging the card on file. Don’t worry. We have provided a for sure solution to avoid any fees; you can reserve a party attendant for your event at only $75 for 4 hours ($20 for each additional hour). The Tikes Toybox party attendant will be present, making sure your children not only have fun and participate in beneficial play but do so safely. The attendant will also be on hand to ensure that Tikes Toybox play area rules are upheld during your scheduled event. Although it is optional, it is highly advised that you add an attendant to your event, as we understand that as a party host, it’s impossible to be in all places simultaneously!
Cancellations:
If you cancel your event more than seven days before the scheduled date, you will lose your non-refundable deposit. If you cancel your event with seven days or less notice, you will lose your non-refundable deposit and all other payments minus our $100 cancellation fee will be returned. If you haven’t made any other payments, we will charge your card on file $100. We allow you to pay with other payment methods as well. If we cancel your event for any reason except rain, we will refund all payments. You may reschedule your event up to two times without an additional cost, as long as you give at least one week’s notice. If you need to reschedule with less than one week’s notice or have already rescheduled twice, there will be a 20% rescheduling fee.
Rainy Day Policy:
If you have an outdoor soft play event, I would strongly suggest that you have an indoor alternative. Tikes Toybox staff will not set up outdoors during heavy rain, thunder, or lightning, which may cause your event set-up time to be pushed back. If it rains the day of your occasion but stops before your event time, we will not set up on wet grounds as it causes damage and heavy stains to our equipment. We highly suggest you reschedule your event for the next available date. If you decide to reschedule your event upon our availability, all monies will be transferred to your new date and time.  If you choose to cancel your event and not reschedule, you will forfeit your non-refundable deposit, but all other monies will be refunded to you. This is why we emphasize that you have an indoor alternative.
