Firework Display Terms & Conditions

Monumental Fireworks will be required to provide, and are responsible for the following:

1. A Site Visit and Risk Assessments, as per our working policies.
2. Notification to relevant authorities such as the Police, CAA, Coastguard, etc as appropriate.
3. Firework display design, programming, preparation, setup and firing. In the highly unlikely event of a technical failure, every attempt will be made to still fire your display.
4. All transportation of fireworks, equipment and materials for the display to the venue.
5. At times where safety might be at risk, we reserve the right to substitute certain firework items or make amendments to a display - for example - due to high winds.
6. Soundtrack production, choreography and broadcast via PA, for such displays.
7. Display Manager and appropriate team.
8. Clearing of the site. Fireworks by their manufacture do leave small fragments of debris, which despite our best efforts cannot all be removed.
9. The majority of this material is biodegradable. Please note we cannot guarantee there will be no damage to grass, etc since fireworks often need to be inserted into the ground or staked, and vehicles used to deliver materials. Whilst we will endeavour to minimise this, we cannot accept responsibility for such damage.
10. Public Liability Insurance to the value of £5,000,000. Fireworks by their nature are inherently dangerous and it is possible that despite our best efforts injury to persons present or damage to property could occur.
11. "Low noise displays", where booked by the Client, use purely fireworks categorised by Suppliers as being quieter than regular fireworks. This does not mean they are silent - all fireworks make some noise - but they create alternative effects to the standard loud bangs and whistles.
12. All firework and display timings and durations are approximate, based on manufacturer's guidelines.

The Venue Manager will be required to provide, and are responsible for the following:

1. Informing Monumental Fireworks, during the Preliminary Site Visit, of all and any risks posed by a firework display that are present at the site. For example presence of fuel storage, livestock, etc.
2. Fulfilment of any requirements as highlighted by Monumental Fireworks during the Preliminary Site Visit and Risk Assessments.
3. Notification to interested parties such as neighbours, livestock owners, hospitals, nursing homes, etc of the display taking place.
4. Regular communication leading up to the display, specifically for any changes to the venue or firing site.

The Client will be required to provide, and are responsible for the following:

1. Regular communication leading up to the display, specifically for any changes to the venue, firing site or display time.
2. Following the manufacturer's instructions on Sparklers, as well as any given by the Venue. We advise sparklers must be lit one at a time, held at arms length and away from clothing and flammable materials, used only outdoors, not be used by anyone under the age of 5, and placed into cold water once finished burning. We cannot be held responsible for any damage or injury due to Sparklers.
3. Obtaining permission from the Venue that the services Monumental Fireworks are being booked to provide are permitted, prior to making a booking with Monumental Fireworks. If a booking is made and Monumental Fireworks subsequently find the Venue does not permit the services that have been booked, then the booking will be:

          Cancelled and the deposit not refunded.

1. A deposit of 50% of the total display cost to be paid at the time of booking to secure your date. if booking within 28 days of proposed show then payment in full is required.  Non-payment of the deposit at the time of booking means the booking will be cancelled.
2. Payment of the remaining balance no later than 28 days before the display. Non-payment of the remaining balance by this deadline will result in the booking being cancelled.
3. Monumental Firework Displays are entitled to recover any costs associated with the cancellation of a display:
4. The 50% deposit is non-refundable.
5. For cancellations 28 days or less before the display, there will be no refund given.
6. For cancellation on the day of the display, there will be no refund given.
7. In the case of severe adverse weather, we will always endeavour to reach a mutual agreement where the display cannot go ahead. We cannot however be held responsible for cancellation due to the weather or other circumstances beyond our control. We would look to rearranging show on mutual agreed date. It is also possible to obtain
8. Events Cancellation Insurance independently.
9. Monumental Fireworks can delay, stop or cancel a display if safety is at risk. The Display Manager can make this decision, which is final. We cannot
10. accept liability for delays to a display due to changes needing to be made as a result of safety concerns.
11. Monumental Fireworks are entitled to recover any costs associated with the firing of a display being delayed by the Client.

         To this Date Monumental Fireworks has not had to cancel a show due to bad weather or other factors!
