Damage waiver is a program that we offer to waive unintentional damage to our equipment for a 10% fee.

If the damage waiver is purchased and there is accidental and unintentional damage to the equipment, we will waive any repair fees or replacement costs for damage to the equipment.
It is important to understand that this damage waiver does not cover any damage that is done intentionally or due to your negligence. The damage waiver does not cover theft, vandalism, silly string, pet damage, gum, paint, pens or markers, or intentional damage to the equipment. The lessee will incur charges for any theft or vandalism, silly string, pets damage, liquids, confetti, or intentional damage to the equipment. The damage waiver is void if the equipment is moved from the original location where our installers set it up. Please call our office to discuss this damage waiver program if you have any questions.
