Who we are

​

BLUR Productions / Lukasz Niedbalski is a sole trader company incorporated in Scotland. Our registered office is at Studio 109, unit 3, 78 Albion Road, EH7 5QZ, Edinburgh.

​

Products

​

All Products shown on our Site are subject to availability. The images of the Products on our Site are for illustrative purposes only and may vary slightly from those images.

​

Our contract with you

​

We require booking forms to be completed and returned by email in order to place the booking. All details stated on the booking form will be taken as given unless we are otherwise notified in email or writing.

Once you have filled out the booking form on our Site with respect to your hire requirements, you will receive an email from us acknowledging that we have received your request. This does not mean the booking has been accepted. We will send you a confirmation email with our contact details, details of the Product you have hired (and any additional add-ons) for the requested event date (“Date”), the final full cost and an invoice for the deposit.

A contract between us will only be formed once we confirm receipt of your deposit for hire of the Product or Service on the Date (“Booking”).

If a Product or Service is no longer available for hire we will inform you of this by email and your order will not be processed, or if a payment was taken you will be refunded for the full amount.

Our order process allows you to check and amend any errors before submitting the order. Please take time to read and check your order at each page of the order process. You are solely responsible for providing accurate details with respect to any Booking you make.

 

Price and Payment

​

Prices for hire of our Products and Services are clearly stated on our Site or in pounds sterling. As a sole trader company we're not VAT registered. Prices for hire of our Products may change from time to time, but price changes will not affect any Booking which we have confirmed by email.

A minimum 20% deposit is required to confirm a Booking, or if the Date is 2 years or more from the date the Booking is made a 10% deposit is required. As soon as the deposit is paid to us, we will reserve your Date. A confirmation email will be sent upon full payment of the deposit. The Product for hire will only be reserved once the deposit has been received from you. 

The full balance of the Booking must be paid 21days prior to the Date along with any extra costs that have been agreed. We will send an email confirming the Date and venue location along with the invoice for the full balance of the Booking. It is your responsibility to ensure these details are correct. If you think any of the details are incorrect in this final confirmation email you must inform us as soon as possible.

While we do our very best to ensure that all prices on our Site are accurate, errors may occasionally occur. If we discover an error in the cost of booking our Products we will inform you as soon as possible and give you the option of rebooking at the correct price or cancelling the Booking.

We are under no obligation to provide any Products to you at an incorrect price, even after we have sent you a Booking confirmation if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mispricing.

If we are unable to contact you, we may treat the Booking as cancelled and a cancellation charge may apply as outlined below.

​

Cancellation

​

If you want to cancel a confirmed Booking, you must do so in writing. The cancellation charges you must pay shall be determined by reference to the table below and you must pay the charges within 20 working days of our invoice.

Length of time before the Date / Cancellation charge

• More than 6 months – 50% of Total Package Price

• Less than 4 months – 75% of Total Package Price

• Less than 2 month – 100% of Total Package Price

The date of your event can be changed for £50 as long as we have been notified a minimum of 3 months from your Date and as long as the new date requested is available.

We reserve the right to cancel your Booking without liability to you and without any obligation to refund your deposit if:

• you do not pay us the balance of your Booking by the date due for such payment;

• we have reasonable grounds to believe that you may not pay us the balance of your Booking by the due date and we have requested you to explain the position and you have not done so satisfactorily;

• we discover, before you have paid the balance of your Booking, that you have deliberately concealed information, or deliberately given us incorrect information, about your Booking in circumstances where (if you had not done so) it would have been reasonably foreseeable that we would not have accepted your Booking;

• where any of our employees has received threatening or abusive behaviour from you or anyone attending the event with respect to the Booking;

• we have reasonable grounds to believe that your behaviour or that of any third party is likely to result in damage to our Product or injury to people.

If we cancel your Booking under any of the circumstances above, the cancellation charges set out in the table above shall apply. You are fully responsible for any deliberate damage to our Product caused by you or a third party with respect to your Booking.

​

Venue Access and Location

​

​

We must be provided with the full correct address for the venue for the Event and it is your responsibility to ensure this. There must be suitable parking facilities at this venue for the duration of the Event for reasonable access for both loading and unloading of the Booths and related equipment which we use in providing the Services (together the “​Equipment​”).

​

We will require at least 2 hours prior to the start of the event to set up the Equipment (unless we have agreed to provide earlier setup) and it is your responsibility to ensure that the Venue gives us sufficient time. We will ask you about any particularly demanding aspects of the Venue that might affect the Equipment prior to issuing the Services Confirmation. We will not be liable, and no refund or part refund shall be due, where we are unable to set up a Booth for the agreed Event start time due to set-up challenges at the Venue which we were not advised about in advance.

​

It is your responsibility to ensure that the Venue will accept the installation and use of the Booth(s) and that there will be sufficient space at the Venue to permit safe use, including being close to an electrical socket of 220-240v fitted with a 13 amp trip, and able to cope with a Booth drawing 600 watts. Similarly it is your responsibility to ensure that the Venue has a suitable internet connection with an upload speed of [1]Mb. We shall have no liability to you or to any third party attending the Event where we are unable to provide all or any of the Services due to your failure to comply with these requirements.

​

Any specific criteria or information required by the Venue (e.g. having sight of PAT certificates) must be notified to us in writing at least 30 days before the Event.

All our Equipment is PAT tested and approved. We also carry public liability insurance for £10m and we can provide copies of our PAT and insurance certificates if required by the Venue subject to advance notice as explained in the previous paragraph.

The Equipment must not be moved once we have set it up at the Venue.
We shall have no liability to you, and no refund or partial refund will be due, where we are denied access to a Venue.
In the unlikely event of any technical malfunction with a Booth at an Event we will issue a pro-rata refund for the period of the Event for which the Booth was not usable.

​

Hire Period

​

The hire period for the Booking will be stated on the confirmation email we provide to you. Use of our Product will start at the agreed time and will finish at the agreed time. We will arrive to set up approximately 1.5 hours prior to the specified start time of hire or this can be arranged as a bespoke hire. If you require us to set up earlier than this then you must notify us at least 7 days before the Date.

If for any instance we are delayed in providing the hired Product due to poor access or venue restrictions the agreed hire period will remain unchanged. If your event starts or runs late, the period of hire will still be for the agreed period, unless we have agreed to provide additional hours as per an addition charge.

​

Events beyond our Control

​

We will endeavour to attend any event that you have hired our Product for. Where circumstances make this impossible due to, but not limited to adverse weather conditions, we will contact you as early as possible and a full refund will be made. We reserve the right to cancel any Booking because of adverse weather conditions.

We will always try to arrive at the venue location which you provide for the agreed time. Where circumstances make this difficult due to severe traffic delays or vehicle breakdowns, we will extend the time of the hire so that the hire period is the same with respect to the Booking made by you. If this is not possible we will refund you accordingly the amount of time delayed by and in proportion to the amount paid.

Emails, Facebook and other social media options require an internet connection and an upload speed of 2MB/s for these options to run effectively. A wired connection is preferable as upload speeds depend on the connection. Emails, Facebook and other social media options can run off a Wi-Fi connection as long as the connection is steady and has the recommended speed of 2MB/s.  Facebook, Instagram or Twitter are sometimes affected by technical issues, updates and service disruptions, which cannot be predicted. Therefore we cannot be held responsible, if Facebook, Instagram and Twitter experiences technical difficulties as this beyond our control.
