Before a backdrop is shipped, arrangements must be made by the company or individual renting a backdrop to insure it for the cost of replacement or damage.  The Insurance policy must name J.

All backdrops are shipped from our warehouse via FedEx. All backdrops shall be returned using the enclosed prepaid return shipping label and sent on the next available business day.

Companies or individuals who cancel a booking up to thirty (30) days before the ship date of the backdrop will receive their deposit back less a cancellation fee of one hundred dollars, ($100.00). Cancellations twenty-nine (29) days or less before the ship date of the backdrop will incur the full rental fee.
