Face Painting

Client agrees to pay the full amount due as per invoice, even if client actually uses artist for less time than contracted. The $50 booking fee is not refundable, should client for any reason cancel or postpone the contracted day or time period. However, in case of postponement, Cupcake Design Studio will negotiate in good faith to arrange an alternate date if deemed feasible by the owner. When you receive your booking invoice (after this form submission) your deposit may be paid by credit/debit card via the invoice link or paid via direct bank transfer to the account noted on the invoice.

Booking Date: The time slot will not be reserved for client until the booking fee is paid and the agreement is submitted. Submitted agreements will hold booking date for five (5) days to allow mailing time for deposit. If the deposit is not received within five (5) days of receipt of a submitted contract agreement, the contract agreement is null and void. Should Cupcake Design Studio be unable to perform its contracted services for any reason whatsoever, Cupcake Design Studio will make its best effort to obtain a suitable and equivalent replacement. If we are unable to perform or find such a replacement the deposit and any amounts paid by the client under this contract agreement, will be refunded in full.

Overtime: Any time beyond the time booked will cost $30.00 per half hour, per artist, with a full half hour being charged for each 1-30 minutes of overtime. Only booked times with deposits are guaranteed. Any additional time on the day of your event may not be available, although artist will attempt to accommodate requests for additional paid time.

Breaks: Artist will be provided with paid 10 minutes breaks for every three hours of contracted time. Artists require mandatory access to a restroom.

Artwork Limitations: Artists retain the right to refuse to paint any part of the body that is not legal to expose, or any place artist does not feel comfortable painting. Artists retain the right to refuse to paint any design or wording that is obscene, offensive, or deems defies good taste. Artists retain the right to refuse to paint any symbols or other illustrations that are commonly associated with “gang” or other illegal group affiliations. Artists retain the right to refuse to paint on any individual that is unwilling to be painted.

Liability Statement: Neither artist nor Cupcake Design Studio is liable for any parties’ allergic reactions to paints. Only FDA compliant paints and cosmetic grade glitters are used for face painting. Children with skin allergies or sensitive skin should either not participate or have the artist perform a patch test at the beginning of the party. For safety reasons, artist will not paint children under 3 years old. For sanitary reasons, artist will not paint anyone who is or appears to be sick or coughing or suffering from cold sores, conjunctivitis, eczema, open wounds, acne or any infection/skin condition. Artists use sanitary products to clean surfaces that are in high touch areas. Cupcake Design Studio and its artists can not be held responsible for any spreading of illness or viruses. Artists will use reasonable care but are not responsible for damage to clothing or property.

WARNING
Some individuals may have an allergic reaction to even the most pure and non-toxic colours. If the client shows any type of allergic reaction during the painting procedure (e.g. paleness, shortness of breath, difficulty in breathing, undue swelling, puffiness around the eyes) the painting session should be discontinued and emergency medical attention should be obtained by the client.

Parking: Artists will be provided with easily accessible parking of the property where services will be provided. If the event is at a commercial facility the artists will be provided a parking spot near the commercial facility entrance door for equipment unloading. If an accessible parking option is not available Cupcake Design Studio has a right to deny or halt services. The client will reimburse the artist for any parking fees incurred while the artist is providing its contract agreement services to the client.

Adverse Working Conditions: Artist has the right to cease painting and leave without refunding monies if there are adverse working conditions and the client fails to remedy the situation after it has been brought to the attention of the client. Adverse conditions include (but are not limited to) destructive, violent, or extreme behaviour of a child or an adult; illegal activities; dangerous weather or work environment conditions; dangerous conditions in general. In the event of a weather cancellation Cupcake Design Studio will agree to a rain date if discussed 48 hours prior to event day.

Artist will not supervise children: The behaviour and safety of all children and adults is the hosts responsibility and none of Cupcake Design Studio's or the artist’s. Any damage to the artist equipment due to negligence of others is the client responsibility. Please see that guests are not running or playing dangerously close to where artist is working.

Cupcake Design Studio agrees to provide services of general face painting using only professional quality face paint products compliant with Australian standards on said contract agreement dates. Artist can provide a current insurance certificate upon request.

And lastly, we want your event to be successful. Be sure to ask any questions you might have ahead of time so we can make sure you get what you want. If you have booked by the hour, it is your responsibility to limit additional guests from requesting service after that time. Please book enough time to have all your guests painted to avoid this disappointment. If your event might require line management (long, long lines of guests waiting to get their faces painted) we will require an additional $30/hour fee. You always have the option to provide someone to help with line management in order to avoid that fee, but we will need their full attention during peak times and near the end of the contracted time especially.
