Terms of Service

Effective Date: May 18, 2025 | Last Updated: May 18, 2025

These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("Renter," "Customer," or "you") and BorrowParty LLC ("BorrowParty," "we," "us," or "our") governing your use of the website at borrowparty.com and all party equipment rental services provided by BorrowParty.

BY SUBMITTING A BOOKING OR USING OUR SERVICES, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD, AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS IN THEIR ENTIRETY. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE, DO NOT USE OUR SERVICES.

1. Services

BorrowParty provides short-term rental of inflatable party tents and LED arch equipment for private events. Available packages are:

  • Curbside Delivery & Pickup — $400: BorrowParty delivers the equipment to the agreed address and returns to pick it up at the agreed time. Setup and takedown are the Renter's responsibility.
  • Full Setup & Takedown — $500: BorrowParty delivers, professionally sets up, and takes down all equipment. The Renter is responsible for ensuring a clear, accessible setup area.

Both packages include the inflatable party tent (12×6 meters / 40 ft × 20 ft) and a FREE LED arch rental (3.5 meters / 11.5 ft tall) with color-changing LED lighting.

2. Rental Terms

By booking with BorrowParty, you agree to the following rental terms:

  • Authorized Use: Equipment must be used only for its intended purpose as a party tent and decorative arch. Commercial resale or subletting of equipment is strictly prohibited.
  • Setup Location & Fit Responsibility: The Renter is solely responsible for verifying that the inflatable tent (40 ft × 20 ft) will physically fit in the desired setup location prior to booking. BorrowParty is not responsible if the tent does not fit upon delivery. No refunds will be issued for sizing or space issues. The Renter is also responsible for ensuring the delivery and setup area is clear, level, dry, and free of hazards (including overhead obstructions, sharp objects, and standing water) prior to delivery.
  • Permits & Approvals: BorrowParty is NOT responsible for obtaining any permits, HOA approvals, city licenses, or other authorizations required for the Renter's event or the placement of the equipment. This is entirely the Renter's responsibility. No refunds will be issued for cancellations or issues arising from permit or approval requirements.
  • Capacity: The inflatable tent (40 ft × 20 ft) comfortably accommodates 50+ guests for standing/mixed events. For seated dinner-style events, capacity is approximately 30–40 guests. Exceeding safe capacity for your event layout is a violation of these Terms and may void any applicable coverage.
  • No Relocation: Equipment must not be moved from the agreed delivery address without prior written consent from BorrowParty.
  • Prohibited Activities: The following are strictly prohibited: use of open flames, fireworks, or pyrotechnics near or inside the tent; use of sharp objects that may puncture the inflatable; use under sustained winds exceeding 25 mph; use during lightning, hail, or severe weather; allowing animals inside the tent; use of the equipment while under the influence of alcohol or controlled substances.
  • Supervision: The Renter must ensure adequate adult supervision of all guests, particularly minors, at all times during use of BorrowParty equipment.
  • Equipment Condition & Damage Charges: The Renter agrees to return all equipment in the same condition as received, reasonable wear and tear excepted. If any equipment is damaged, torn, punctured, stained, or otherwise harmed during the rental period, the Renter will be charged the full cost of repair or replacement at BorrowParty's sole discretion. BorrowParty will provide documentation of any damage and associated costs. The Renter agrees to pay any such charges promptly upon receipt of invoice.
  • Rental Period: The rental period begins at the time of delivery and ends at the agreed pickup time. An Extra Day add-on may be purchased at the time of booking for an additional $200, allowing the Renter to keep the equipment one additional day before pickup. Extended rental periods not arranged in advance are subject to additional fees at BorrowParty's discretion.
  • Curbside Delivery & Pickup: For the Curbside package, BorrowParty will deliver the equipment, unpackage it, and set up the blower. The Renter is responsible for the actual inflation and use of the tent. Upon pickup, BorrowParty will repackage and retrieve all equipment. The Renter must ensure all equipment is accessible and ready for pickup at the agreed time.
  • Delivery Area: Standard delivery is free within the Twin Cities metropolitan area. Deliveries outside the Twin Cities metro area are subject to an additional delivery charge, which will be communicated and agreed upon prior to booking confirmation.

3. Liability Waiver

BY SUBMITTING A BOOKING, THE RENTER VOLUNTARILY AND KNOWINGLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS, CAUSES OF ACTION, AND LIABILITY AGAINST BORROWPARTY LLC, ITS OWNERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, CONTRACTORS, AND SUCCESSORS (COLLECTIVELY, "BORROWPARTY PARTIES") FOR ANY:

  • Personal injury, bodily harm, or death arising from the use of rented equipment;
  • Property damage, loss, or destruction;
  • Third-party claims arising from the Renter's event or use of equipment;
  • Economic loss, consequential damages, or indirect damages of any kind.

This waiver applies regardless of whether such injury, damage, or loss is caused by the negligence of BorrowParty Parties, the Renter, guests, or any third party, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

The Renter acknowledges that the use of inflatable party equipment involves inherent risks, including but not limited to the risk of falls, collisions, and equipment malfunction, and voluntarily assumes all such risks.

4. Responsibility Disclaimer & Indemnification

BorrowParty is not responsible for and expressly disclaims liability for injuries, damages, or losses resulting from:

  • Improper use, unauthorized modifications, or misuse of equipment;
  • Exceeding stated guest capacity limits;
  • Use in unsafe weather conditions or failure to deflate/secure equipment during adverse weather;
  • Failure to follow BorrowParty's safety instructions or these Terms;
  • Inadequate supervision of guests, including minors;
  • Acts or omissions of the Renter, guests, or third parties;
  • Pre-existing site conditions at the delivery address;
  • The Renter's failure to obtain required permits, HOA approvals, or any other authorizations;
  • The tent not fitting in the Renter's desired setup location;
  • Any injury, accident, property damage, or loss of any kind occurring during or after the rental period.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BORROWPARTY IS NOT LIABLE FOR ANY INJURY, DEATH, PROPERTY DAMAGE, FINANCIAL LOSS, OR ANY OTHER HARM OF ANY KIND ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE RENTAL, DELIVERY, SETUP, USE, OR PICKUP OF EQUIPMENT. THE RENTER ASSUMES ALL RISK.

Indemnification: The Renter agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless BorrowParty Parties from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: (a) the Renter's use of BorrowParty equipment; (b) any breach of these Terms by the Renter; (c) any injury or damage caused to third parties during the Renter's event; or (d) any violation of applicable law by the Renter.

5. Booking, Payment & Cancellation

  • Booking Confirmation: A booking is not confirmed until you receive a written confirmation from BorrowParty via email or phone.
  • $50 Non-Refundable Booking Deposit: All bookings require a $50 deposit paid at the time of booking via credit or debit card through our secure Stripe checkout. This deposit is non-refundable under all circumstances — it is your commitment to the date, and it ensures we hold that day exclusively for you and turn away all other inquiries. However, your $50 deposit is fully applied toward your total rental balance, so it is never money lost — it is money already paid. Think of it as locking in your party. No booking is confirmed until the $50 deposit is successfully processed.
  • Cancellation by Renter: If you need to cancel:
    • More than 7 days before your event: Your deposit is non-refundable, but no additional charges will be owed. We appreciate the notice and hope to serve you in the future.
    • Within 7 days of your event: The full rental amount is owed and no refund will be issued. Once we are within 7 days of your event date, we have turned away other booking opportunities for that day and cannot recover that lost business. The only exception is a weather-related reschedule (see below), which is always available at no charge.
  • Weather Rescheduling — We've Got You: We know Minnesota weather has a mind of its own. If inclement weather is in the forecast for your event date — including sustained winds over 25 mph, heavy rain, thunderstorms, or any active severe weather warning — BorrowParty will proactively reach out to discuss options. You may also contact us within 48 hours of your event date to request a weather reschedule. In either case, we will work with you to find a new date at no additional charge and your deposit carries over in full. We want your party to happen — just safely.
  • Cancellation by BorrowParty: In the rare event that BorrowParty must cancel due to equipment issues, an emergency, or circumstances beyond our control, you will receive a full refund including any deposit, or we will reschedule at your preference — no questions asked.
  • Damage Fees: The Renter is responsible for the cost of repairing or replacing any equipment damaged beyond normal wear and tear during the rental period.

6. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BORROWPARTY'S TOTAL LIABILITY TO THE RENTER FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE RENTAL SERVICES SHALL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY THE RENTER FOR THE SPECIFIC RENTAL GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. IN NO EVENT SHALL BORROWPARTY BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES.

7. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Minnesota, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising under these Terms shall be resolved through binding arbitration in Hennepin County, Minnesota, in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association, except that either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction.

8. Modifications

BorrowParty reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time. Updated Terms will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. Your continued use of our services after any modifications constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.

9. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
