Booking and Deposit

To secure your event date and time we require a £50.00 non-refundable booking deposit, this is required at time of booking and the balance will be due 28 days prior to your event. Once the non-refundable deposit of £50 has been received we will email you confirmation of your booking and the date the balance is due.

If we do not receive your full balance by the due date (28 days prior the event) we will assume that our services are no longer required, and we will cancel the order and retain the £50 non-refundable deposit.

So Sweet Cart Hire and More will also require a breakage deposit of £100 with the final balance and this will be refunded in full within one week of the event, subject to there being no damage or loss to So Sweet Cart Hire and More’s cart or equipment.

Children

Children must always be supervised by a parent or suitable adult to avoid accidents and sweets being chosen unsuitably which could pose a choking risk. This is especially important for children aged 5 years and under. Similar care should also be taken to ensure children’s safety relating to glass wear being used on our carts.

Allergies

Please note that some sweets may contain nuts or made alongside other products that contain nuts. Therefore, So Sweet Cart Hire and More and their staff cannot be held responsible for any issues relating from food allergies. A list of all confectionery ingredients will be left in a folder and left alongside the sweet cart for your information.

So Sweet Cart Hire and More does not allow the hirer to add their own sweets to those provided as part of a package, this is for insurance and traceability purposes. Any additions made by yourselves to any of our fully loaded cart will invalidate our insurance.
