Variations & Substitutions / Omissions.

3.1 Substitutions and omissions; Firework Crazy reserve the right at any time to substitute and / or omit a pyrotechnic effect from a show which we feel may cause an unacceptable Health and Safety risk. This decision is normally put into effect where excessive wind conditions may cause long duration "hanging" effects to drift towards the audience and / or buildings or ripe crops in the summer months. In the majority of cases, substitutions are made rather than omissions.

Termination and Cancellation.

4.1 Cancellation by the client up to four weeks prior to the display date will result in the deposit being kept or due (if still unpaid) with no further payments payable.
4.2 Cancellation by the client between two and four weeks prior to the display will result in a 50% refund of the full fee (if paid) or 50% of the final balance being payable.

4.6 If (a) Firework Crazy make the decision on the day of your show , that your show cannot go ahead due to unacceptable levels of risk created by adverse weather conditions” (b) the client makes the decision, on Police advice or otherwise, that the show cannot go ahead due to threatened acts of terrorism or violence such as might pose a substantial risk to public safety, then in either case 50% of the total contract price will be refunded or payable (If outstanding)
4.7 Firework Crazy will do everything possible to ensure that the display goes ahead. However, we reserve the right to cancel without compensation on the grounds of safety. Firework Crazy’s Head Firer on the display site has sole responsibility for this decision.

Anyone of the following conditions may result in the cancellation of the display:
• Inadequate safety distance.
• Poor crowd control and / or lack of stewards.
• Livestock in close proximity to the display site.
• Force Majeure.


PLEASE NOTE: Cancellations are very rare. Potential problems are always discussed with the client and we always seek to come to an agreeable cancellation decision, which would in almost every circumstance be based purely on the safety of the Audience and / or Firing Crew.

EVENT INSURANCE: We strongly advise that you take out event cancellation cover insurance. There are many brokers who will arrange this for you. A good one to use is http://www.ventoinsurance.com/
