7. Product Handling & Responsibility
* Inclement Weather Protection: Our rentals, including pedestals, pillars, arches, and aisle flowers, cannot be left outside in inclement weather, including rain. If adverse weather is predicted for an outdoor setup, we require you to provide a designated indoor alternate venue setup plan at the time of booking. We will relocate items to your "rain plan" location early if needed. We will coordinate with your Wedding Coordinator and/or Venue's point of contact to ensure a smooth transition.
* No Unauthorized Movement: As a reminder, no one is allowed to transport, take down, or move our products without prior written approval from ARCH and BLOOM.
* Damage Policy: Any damage incurred to our products beyond natural wear and tear will result in a charge to your card. This includes, but is not limited to, missing flowers/foliage, or damage to arch frames, cages, pedestals, urns, sandbags, and/or mechanics. The charge for damage will be 3 times the rental price of the damaged item.
* Documentation: For quality assurance and mutual protection, we take photos after initial setup and during tear-down. These photos serve as a record of the items' condition.
* Marketing Use: We reserve the right to use any pictures captured for future marketing or social media content.
* Credit Card Security: Your credit card information will be securely stored and deleted after all items have been assessed and cleared for future rentals.
- Outside Décor: Any décor not provided by ARCH and BLOOM is not guaranteed, even if integrated with our items. We reserve the right to make necessary alterations to maintain consistency, and ARCH and BLOOM will not be held responsible for issues arising from non-ARCH and BLOOM items.
8. Venue and Location Limitations
ARCH and BLOOM is bound by the rules and guidelines of your chosen venue and site management. Negotiating with venue officials for moderation of guidelines is the responsibility of The Customer. ARCH and BLOOM will offer technical recommendations only. Reimbursements will not be made for unused items due to venue limitations not communicated to ARCH and BLOOM.
9. Adverse Weather Clause & Rescheduling
* Safety First: ARCH and BLOOM prioritizes the safety of its staff, clients, and the integrity of its products.
* Weather Conditions: In the event that adverse weather conditions, including wind gusts over 12mph, are forecasted or present at the scheduled setup time or any time during the event, ARCH and BLOOM retains the right to delay or cancel the setup of its products if a suitable, safe indoor location cannot be agreed upon.
* Indoor Alternate Plan: Clients are required to provide an indoor alternate venue setup plan at the time of booking to accommodate weather-related changes and avoid cancellations.
* Notification: If ARCH and BLOOM determines that adverse weather may impact setup, we will make every effort to notify The Customer/Coordinator/Venue as soon as possible via the contact information provided.
- Rescheduling: We will discuss the best course of action, which may include rescheduling the setup for a mutually agreeable date and time, subject to product availability and the terms outlined in the original contract. Rescheduling is only allowed on dates/times not already blocked out by other events.

Refunds are not offered in these circumstances, and all such cancellations and date changes are solely at the discretion of ARCH and BLOOM.
