  CANCELATION

    Big Thunder Events reserves the right to charge full cost for loss due to cancelation by customer within 72 hours of event date. Due to last minute cancelations not related to high winds , rain or storms Big Thunder Events has equipment that cannot be rented at the last minute that would have been rented to another customer.  This does not apply to high wind, rain or storm conditions. Rain-Out cancelations will be detirmined by Big Thunder Events no earlier than the day prior to your event date due to ever changing weather forcasts, the percentage of rain forcasted above 50% for the majority of the day will make your event eligible for rain-out cancelation. If cancelation occures more than 72 hours prior to event date the non-refundable deposit will be available to the customer as a rain-check for a period of one year, If the rain-check is not used by booking within one year it will be forfited.
   
All rentals and events over the total cost of one housand dollars ($1000) MUST be paid in full five days prior to the origional event date. Many times large events require outsourcing of services to make your event spectacular and these vendors have to be paid prior to the event. Keep in mind that you are essentially buying your event date, Once the event date is dertirmined, that is your date. In the event of a rain-out or incomming inclimate weather Big Thunder Events will work with you to the best of their ability to get everything you desired for your event however if a piece of equipment is not available for the new date you agree to understand that a substitution will be made. If an outsourced service is not avalable from the origional vendor then an alternate vendor will be selected but may slightly change the cost from the origional dates contract. Keep in mind that your date is your date and we want you to have a wonderful event but if you choose to change that date there may be deposits to outsourced vendors that will be forfited.
