Welcome to Rainbow Circus, where imagination knows no bounds! Please review these Terms and Conditions carefully before utilising our services.

​

BOOKING PROCEDURE

​

Booking Deposit and Payment

To secure your preferred time and date, Rainbow Circus requires a deposit. This deposit is crucial as we operate on a first-come, first-served basis, securing your event amidst our busy schedule. The deposit amounts to 50% of the total cost of services required for your event.

​

Booking Confirmation

Once Rainbow Circus accepts your deposit, your event's time and date are officially reserved. You will promptly receive a confirmation email acknowledging the reservation, ensuring peace of mind and clarity regarding your booking.

​

Final Outstanding Payment

The remaining balance must be settled no later than 5 days before the scheduled event date. We emphasize the importance of full payment before the event to guarantee the seamless delivery of our services at your event, ensuring an unforgettable experience for you and your guests.

​

​

CANCELLATIONS

​

7 Days or More Notice

If a cancellation is made by the client 7 days or more before the scheduled event, a cancellation fee of 25% of the total event cost will be applied, unless we can find another booking to fill your time slot, in which case we will offer a full refund.

​

Less Than 7 days Notice

Cancellations made with less than 7 days' notice will result in a cancellation fee of 50% of the total event cost.

​

Less Than 48 Hours Notice

Cancellations made by the client with less than 48 hours' notice will require the client to pay the full event cost.

​

If Rainbow Circus cancels on the client, all payments received will be refunded in full within 10 business days. Alternatively if Rainbow Circus cancels on the client- if the client prefers, the deposit can be applied towards a future event.​

​

Rain or Shine Policy

We uphold a steadfast "Rain or Shine" commitment. We highly recommend securing an indoor backup venue ahead of time to ensure your event proceeds seamlessly in case of inclement weather. Unfortunately, we are unable to reserve alternative dates, commonly referred to as "rain dates" for events, as this may hinder our ability to accommodate other bookings.

​

Rescheduling Policy

Rescheduling is subject to the availability of our event staff, equipment, and resources on the requested date. While we will make every effort to accommodate your preferred rescheduled date and time, availability may be limited during peak seasons.

​

At Rainbow Circus we understand that unexpected circumstances may arise, leading to event cancellations. However, our cancellation fee policy reflects the commitment and dedication we invest in preparing for each event. When a booking is made, resources are allocated, schedules are arranged, and our talented team of professionals dedicates time and effort to ensure your event is a success.

 

A cancellation fee helps offset the costs incurred and ensures that our livelihoods, as well as the livelihoods of our staff, are protected. Your understanding and cooperation in adhering to our cancellation policy allow us to continue providing top-notch services and memorable experiences for all our clients.

​

OPTIMAL ARTIST BOOKING

For optimal enjoyment and participation of all children attending your event, we kindly request that you book artists according to the number of children specified in our packages. This ensures that each child has the opportunity to fully engage with our services.

​

PARKING FEES
Clients may be charged a parking fee for parties and events held in the Wellington Central Business District (CBD). This fee covers the cost of parking facilities used by our staff and performers. The specific amount will be communicated in advance and included in the final invoice.

 

OVERTIME & ADDITIONAL HOURS

Please be aware that our artists may have prior commitments or scheduled events following yours. If our artists are requested to stay additional hours beyond the agreed-upon time, payment for these extra hours will be due in full at the end of the event.

 

​

FACE PAINTING, GLITTER & TEMPORARY TATTOOS

​

• Gem clusters and unicorn horns are designed to stay on during normal wear although more energetic activities such as bouncy castle use may cause the cluster or horn to come loose. The artist will carry extra glue to reattach if needed during the event.

​​

• Artists may not paint a person who is exhibiting signs of illness nor may the artist paint a person who has a wound or open skin.

 

• The artist's supplies may not be handled by guests of the event. If a guest misuses the artist's supplies, the client may be asked to replace the supplies.

 

• All paints and glitters used are FDA approved and are cosmetic grade supplies. As with any products, a small portion of people may develop a sensitivity to an ingredient in the supplies. Persons who believe they may have a sensitivity to any of our products may request a patch test 30 minutes prior to receiving services.

​​

• Artists will use reasonable care but are not responsible for damage to clothing or property. If clothing comes into contact with our paints, treat with a stain remover and wash in cold water, as hot water may set in stains.

 

• Airbrush, Glitter and Temporary tattoos will be applied to the body only. No face tattoos or Moko will be applied.

 

FACE/BODY PAINT& TEMPORARY TATTOO REMOVAL

To remove face paints from skin, apply a mild soap directly to the skin adding a very small amount of water. Work into a lather so that all the paint has become grey/brown. Once the paint has been saturated, rinse with clear, lukewarm water.

To remove airbrush tattoos before they fade, use an oil-based cleanser such as baby or coconut oil.

 

OUR CARE GUIDELINES

To protect you and your children, Rainbow Circus has put the following care guidelines in place:

​

• We will only paint those who show no symptoms of illness.

• We will sanitize our hands between each customer.

• We sanitize our kits before and after every event, including all of our tools.

• We use one sponge per child. Once our sponges have touched your skin, they will be set aside to be sanitized at home.

• Once our brushes have touched your skin, they will be washed in a sanitizing solution to thoroughly clean them before they touch the skin of another customer.

• We do not come to work if we have any signs or symptoms of illness.

​

​

OUTDOOR EVENTS

We require a shelter to shield our team and equipment from the elements—be it rain, wind, or sun—enabling us to effectively carry out our operations. In the event that an indoor location is unavailable, we will need the following provisions:

​

• A sturdy gazebo securely anchored, with three enclosed sides, or an alternative shelter structure offering comparable protection.

• 3 square meters per booked artist to ensure ample workspace and accommodation for the attending public.

• We often request your assistance in providing trestle tables and chairs for our artists to use. While some of our artists come equipped with their own, we will inform you well in advance regarding any specific requirements.

• Rainbow Circus may use a line manager or assistant at their discretion at the event.

An assistant may be responsible for additional face painting or entertainment to help provide the best service possible art your event.
