11. Damage
The client is liable for any damages or loss to SoundKicks equipment by themselves, guests and anyone else in attendance at the event.
If any of our equipment is damaged or lost then not only will there be repair/replacement costs but also hire costs to cover the period of which Soundkicks is without the damaged or lost equipment.

The Hirer must arrange access to the premises at least 45 minutes before the commencement of the function, or earlier if deemed beforehand. (Otherwise the DJ / Act may not be ready to start on time).
Any delayed set up time and subsequent delayed start time due to the overrun of any prior proceeding or of situations outside of our control will not warrant any extension of the stated finish time or any fee reduction.

evict any person who is aggressive to the DJ / Act.
13. Starlit Dance Floor Terms and Conditions in addition to ‘General’
I am aware that the surface, which the floor is to be laid, needs to be both flat and dry. An uneven floor may result in the LED’s not working, as the panels cannot connect properly. Our staff will not lay the dance floor on a wet surface, as this will damage the panels.
SoundKicks Ltd will not be held responsible if we cannot lay the dance floor due to the
surface being wet or uneven.
Liquid spillages on the dance floor can occasionally result in component failure, the Hirer is liable for any damage caused.
The venue needs to have suitable access i.e. no stairs, steps so that we can wheel the dance floor (in its trolley which is 137cm x 67cm) into your venue. Where the function room is upstairs a goods lift will be required.
We also need to be notified if there is gravel, ledges, lips that the trolley needs to be pushed on / over.
If the access is poor (as examples above) then an extra charge may be made in order for extra time to be allocated to your event to carry the dance floor panels by hand into your function room.
Due to the outside influences that dance floors are subject to throughout an event we are unable to guarantee 100% LED reliability through the entirety of an event. There are many factors which can disrupt the dance floors which include but not limited to excess spillages of drinks, static, movement of dance floor due to uneven floors.
The dance floor will be in full working condition when installed but no further responsibility for any failures throughout an event will be accepted.
Tables and chairs or any other furniture are not to be place on top of our dance floors without prior consent from us.
14. Equipment Hire Terms and Conditions in addition to ‘General’
