Security
We take precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline.

Wherever we collect sensitive information (such as credit card data), that information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a lock icon in the address bar and looking for “https” at the beginning of the address of the Web page.

While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers/servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.

Pricing, Deposits & Payment

Payment is due in USD on or before date of delivery listed on order unless Customer has payment terms contract with PEAK Event Services. Prices quoted are for one-day rental and do not include delivery, tax, damage waiver fee, setup and/or breakdown charges. Customers are also welcome to pick up at our locations in Woburn, MA and Stoughton, MA.  Additional rental charges will be incurred if items are not returned on dates contracted.  A 35% deposit is required to reserve items.  This deposit is non-refundable 60 days prior to the event.

Orders must be placed by 12pm for delivery the following day or additional rush fees will apply. Equipment added to your order for the same day, after business hours for the following day, or after delivery will be subject to additional rush fees. Orders are not reducible day prior to delivery. A credit will not be issued for any items that were unused.

To avoid additional fees, all equipment must be repackaged in the same condition it was received. China, glassware, flatware and cooking equipment must be scraped free of food. Linen should be placed in provided bags and should be free of debris. Chairs should be stacked unless setup and breakdown terms have been contracted.  All equipment must be protected from weather at all times.

Damage Waiver

A non-refundable Damage Waiver Fee is charged on all rental items.  This is a cost associated with renting our equipment, therefore it is not refundable, nor will it be waived.  The Damage Waiver covers rental items that have minor damage due to accidental breakage. The customer is responsible for any missing or damaged equipment. Equipment that has been damaged due to neglect is not covered by the damage waiver.

Specialty & Custom Orders

Specialty and custom orders require a non-refundable deposit and order needs to be paid in full prior to event. Final counts on specialty and custom orders must be submitted at least 14 days before delivery.

Order Cancellation
Notice of order cancellations must be given 48 hours prior to delivery or fees apply. Orders canceled the day before, day of or at the time of delivery are nonrefundable.

Delivery and Pickups

There is a minimum that must be reached to receive delivery & pick-up of your order, excluding the delivery charge.  Delivery and pick-up charge is quoted as a roundtrip fee.  Delivery and pick-up charges are based on time and location of the delivery.  Normal delivery hours are 6am-6pm.  Delivery and pick-up outside of our normal hours will incur additional charges such as Firm Time, Late Night or Holiday.  A minimum of a 4-hour window is required to avoid additional charges.

Delivery locations must be within 100 feet of the accessible truck or additional fees will apply.  It is the responsibility of the renter to inform PEAK Event Services of potential delivery obstacles, such as driveways not accessible by a truck, narrow doorways or small elevators.  Peak Event Services will not be responsible if equipment cannot be loaded onto a location due to obstacles.

All equipment must be returned to the place of delivery or additional labor fees will apply.  If rental equipment cannot be located on-site, additional pickup fees will apply.  For deliveries requiring other modes of transportation or site labor, a labor charge will be calculated and entered as TBD until site visits and logistics can be determined.  Additional billing may occur if the site is challenging or last minute changes occur to the delivery plan.

Customer Pick Up Orders

If picking up an order that includes a table at Customer Pick Up (CPU), you must have a van or extra-large SUV in order to fit table inside vehicle.  If you are unsure about whether the table will fit in your vehicle, please ask your Event Rental Consultant for further dimension requirements.

Additional Information

Please note, glassware and stemware is rented by the rack.  To protect your floors, adhesive pads may be applied to the bottom of table and chair legs upon advance request for an additional fee.
