  1. Exclusive Balloon Service Clause

  • By hiring Columbus Balloon Co. for balloon decoration services, the client agrees that Columbus Balloon Co. shall be the sole and exclusive balloon professional providing balloon décor for the event. This exclusivity ensures design consistency, quality control, and adherence to our professional standards.

7. Weather & Outdoor Installations

  • Balloon décor is subject to weather conditions, including wind, rain, extreme temperatures, humidity, and other environmental factors beyond our control.

  • Balloons exposed to direct sunlight or excessive heat may oxidize, fade, soften, shrink, or pop sooner than expected. This is a normal characteristic of latex balloons and is not considered a product defect.

  • Columbus Balloon Co. cannot guarantee the longevity, appearance, or stability of balloon displays exposed to outdoor conditions.

  • Columbus Balloon Co. cannot guarantee that balloon displays will remain in place or undamaged due to weather or other unforeseen conditions.

  • The client assumes all risk for weather-related movement, damage, or failure of outdoor balloon installations after setup is complete.
