Insurance:
Before a backdrop is shipped, arrangements must be made by the company or individual renting a backdrop to insure it for the cost of replacement or damage. The Insurance policy must name J. Galt Design as an “Additional Insured” in the liability policy which must in turn be faxed to our offices before the backdrop is shipped. The company or individual may alternatively purchase a damage waiver for 15% of the rental fee.
Shipment:
All backdrops are shipped from our warehouse via FedEx. All backdrops shall be returned using the enclosed prepaid return shipping label and sent on the next available business day. Shipping by other currier is done so at the customer’s expense. The customer assumes all liability involved. Failure to do so may result in the incurring of late fees.
Late Returns:
The fee paid for the rental of the backdrop is for the duration of the rental period only. Any period in excess of the agreed rental period will result in a charge of fifty dollars ($50) per day, per drop.
Cancellations:
Companies or individuals who cancel a booking up to thirty (30) days before the ship date of the backdrop will receive their deposit back less a cancellation fee of one hundred dollars, ($100.00). Cancellations twenty-nine (29) days or less before the ship date of the backdrop will incur the full rental fee.
