Unforeseen Circumstances & Liability
We do everything in our power to ensure we arrive on time and deliver a memorable gaming experience for you and your guests. There are occasionally issues beyond our control that get in the way.
In circumstances such as serious illness, extreme weather or any other circumstance which would subject GS or any of its employees or any of its participants to danger we reserve the right to cancel, alter or delay your booking. We will inform you of any such issue as soon as possible and offer alternative arrangements.
In the event of traffic or other circumstances beyond our control preventing us from being able to fulfil your booking our liability shall be limited to a refund of any monies paid in relation to the contracted event. A pro rata reduction in the party hire fee will be paid in the event of a delayed start only if you fail to receive the full time you paid for. No further compensation will be paid irrespective of any loss of earnings. Depending on the situation we will also offer to exchange the booking to another date.
Day of the party
If the party starts later than the agreed time because GS were not ready (except for unforeseen circumstances – see above) we will continue until you have had the time you paid for. If the party is delayed because of you e.g. you don’t turn up on time, payment not received etc the party will still finish at the agreed time. If no-one turns up or payment has not been received within 30 minutes of the agreed start time GS will leave and no refund will be given. Please make sure someone is available 30 minutes before party to allow us to set the van up.
Internet Connectivity
We cannot guarantee an internet connection. If for any reason an online party cannot be provided i.e. poor connection, system updates etc we will revert to the successful offline parties we ran for the first three years. Basically the only real difference is you won’t get Fortnite.
