9. Dance Floor Usage:
The client is responsible for ensuring the safe and appropriate use of the dance floor during the hire period. Friday Hire will not be liable for any loss, damage, or injury arising from the use of the dance floor. It is the client's responsibility to:
- Ensure the dance floor can be assembled and used on a flat, stable surface.
- Take necessary precautions to prevent damage, including avoiding high-impact activities, sharp objects, or excessive force.
- Implement any event-specific guidelines to ensure the safety of guests, as deemed necessary by the client.
Material Information:
Our dance floor is constructed from MDF with a painted finish. While the surface has a slightly rough texture to provide grip, any hard surface can become slippery when wet. It is the client’s responsibility to monitor for spills and address them promptly to maintain a safe environment for guests.
In the event of any damage, loss, or injury, the client agrees to indemnify Friday Hire for any associated costs or claims. Spills and surface messes are considered normal wear and tear and will not incur additional charges.
