Coverage applies only to Airheads’ acts and omissions.

Blanket Additional Insured

Our policy includes a blanket additional insured endorsement (form CSIA 405-A) that automatically extends additional insured status when required in a written contract, venue agreement, or invoice.
This satisfies most standard event requirements at no additional cost.

Specific Named Additional Insured Endorsements

If a venue, municipality, school, corporation, or organization requires:

• To be individually named on the policy, and/or

• A separate COI with a manual endorsement issued by the insurer

→ These must be processed through our insurance carrier.

Fee: $75 per named entity, paid in advance.
Requirements: Exact legal name + mailing address.
Timeline: Requests must be submitted ≥30 days before the event.
Late requests may not be possible due to insurer processing times.

Processing & Limitations

• Individually named endorsements are subject to the insurer’s processing timeline.

Standard delivery fee: 10% of order total or $35 (whichever is greater).
Additional fees may apply for complex setups, early morning / late night / holiday installations, or Beyond the Bubble zones (20+ miles).

Equipment Retrieval

Charged when Airheads must return to collect reusable equipment (frames, bases, poles, signs, covers, etc.).

Strike Timing & Access Requirements

A strike fee covers one scheduled return visit for equipment retrieval at an agreed-upon time.

Client (or venue) is responsible for ensuring that the area is cleared and accessible at that time.

If access is delayed due to guests, venue operations, or restricted access:

• Additional waiting-time charges may apply
• If removal cannot be completed, a rescheduled strike fee will apply

Time-Sensitive Strike Conditions

If a venue requires removal within a specific or limited timeframe (e.g., room turnover or event transitions), this constitutes a time-sensitive strike and may require additional fees to accommodate scheduling and coordination.

Extended or After-Hours Retrieval

If strike extends beyond normal working hours due to delays or venue requirements, additional charges may apply.

Strike Scope

Airheads removes only Airheads-owned equipment.
Balloons (with or without framework) are not included in strike unless specified on the invoice.

Client Responsibility for Equipment

• All reusable equipment remains Airheads’ property.

• Once installed, client is responsible for preventing loss, theft, damage, unauthorized movement, or disposal.

• Client agrees to pay full replacement cost for any missing, damaged, stolen, or discarded items.
  Payment is due immediately upon invoice.

7. Access & Venue Requirements

Client must provide:

• Accurate venue access windows

• Necessary entry credentials or contacts

• Timely communication about changes

Delays may limit setup time or reduce décor completeness.

8. Outdoor Events & Weather

Outdoor balloon décor is subject to:

• Heat

Airheads provides durability guidance but cannot guarantee outdoor results.

9. Safety & Property

• All structural items (framework, poles, bases, hardware, etc.) remain Airheads’ property.

• Airheads is not responsible for injuries or damages caused by client or guest mishandling after setup.

13. Exclusivity & Compensation

Airheads Balloon Art must be the exclusive balloon décor and Talented Twister provider for the event spaces listed on the invoice.
