If conditions are not too severe, the Customer will have the option of keeping, rescheduling or canceling your reservation. Additionally, Barrels of Fun Amusements, LLC reserves the right to cancel your reservation during these periods of severe weather conditions. The basis for cancellation may be for any of these reasons: 1) Safety of the children during operation; 2) Safety of the operator at any time between load up and tear-down; and 3) Safety of the amusement equipment or their transportation. It is the Customer’s responsibility to pay attention to the weather and provide notification of their intent to reschedule no less than 24 hours prior to their event.
