What payments do you take?
What if we need to cancel?
If the weather turns bad, there is no additional fee to cancel as long as you inform us 24 hours before we set up. If you were required to pay a deposit, the deposit amount will be saved as a rain check available for credit within 1 year, in your name. If you cancel within 24 hours your deposit will be forfited. Once we have set up, we have to pay our employees for their hard work and therefore we require full payment regardless of use. Note: Unless, the weather is so bad as to risk our equipment, we leave the decision up to you since your area might not be affected by weather conditions as much as another. Our main safety concern is wind. When winds go higher than 20 MPH, jumps become unsafe regardless of our tie down methods. If you are concerned, please call our office. 763-355-1023

Can I pick up the bounce house myself?

Can I move the inflatable?

If the park or business wants an additional insurance certificate can you provide this?

Can we tape signs onto the unit?
Absolutely not! As the residue it leaves behind is very hard to clean off it is not allowed. You may put signs up next to the inflatable on a chair or in the ground. The customer will be charged up to a $100 cleaning fee if this has been used.
Can Jump City provide staff at my event?
Yes, we can run your whole event. Staffing is $42 per hour per attendant with a minimum of 4 hours.
