5. The Client agrees to provide the character or dance teacher with water to stay hydrated.
Rain Check/Inclement Weather Policy
Safety of our performers and your party guests is a top priority. Since we reside in Colorado and we can have inclement weather due to snowstorms, heavy rain fall and other natural episodes beyond our control, there may be instances where our performer’s safety as well as your party guest’s safety are put at risk. Therefore we may provide the following for Rain Check/Inclement Weather:
1. Reschedule for the following day. Please note, the performer and character may change in these instances if the performer or character has already been booked for another party that day.
2. Reschedule for another available day at the earliest convenience. If the following day is not a viable solution, we will offer a rescheduled date in the future that does work for all parties.
3. Same day service. We can offer a same day service, however, this could mean a change in performer or character. This may happen if the original performer is under age and is not permitted by their parent or guardian to travel in such conditions. In this instance we may send a performer that is closer to the party location, however since our performers have character costumes and wigs in their possession for parties, this may mean a change in character.
4. In rare situations, if the above solutions are unable to be met, we will need to cancel the party at which point, we will provide the client a full refund for all but 50% of the original booking fee.

If our actor is traveling to a location that is more than 25 miles from their home, you may be subject to Travel fees. The first 10 miles beyond 25 miles is charged at $25. After the first 10 miles, we charge an additional $5 for every 10 miles. This travel payment is paid 100% to the actress(es) to help cover gas expenses or any potential wear and tear on their person vehicles. The travel fee is not a gratuity.
