Termination / Cancellation of display

 

Cancellation notification MUST be given in writing by email to info@firemonkeypyro.co.uk


If the client cancels a booking giving more than 4 weeks (28 days) notice a refund of the monies paid to date will be given less the non refundable booking fee.

 

If cancellation is made within 4 weeks (28 days) of the display date, refund of monies paid will be at the discretion of Fire Monkey Pyro and will be less the non refundable booking fee and costs already incurred.

If the display is cancelled or disallowed by the venue for any reason beyond the control of Fire Monkey Pyro, the above terms will apply.

In the unlikely event that Fire Monkey Pyro have to cancel the display due to extreme weather conditions (this has never happened so far), we will refund 75% if set up has not started, 25% if set up has been completed.


We will always do everything in our power to ensure that a display goes ahead, however we reserve the right to cancel without compensation on the grounds of safety. Fire Monkey Pyro's Display Manager on the day, will have sole responsibility for this decision. Reasons for cancellation include inadequate safety distance, poor crowd control and/or lack of stewards, inadequate or non-existent safety line/fence, livestock in close proximity to the display site

Please Note: We have never had to cancel a display due to extreme weather conditions or any other reason. We carry out a thorough site survey and risk assessment to ensure that any potential problems are discussed with the client and we would always seek to come to an agreeable cancellation decision, which in almost all circumstances, would be based purely on the safety of the audience and / or firing crew.
