Waver Form Before the Headphones Go On
(aka: How We All Have a Good Time and Nobody Cries Later)
1. The Deal (Hire Agreement)
By hiring silent disco headsets from Byron Bay Silent Disco, you’re agreeing to these terms. Nothing scary here — just a mutual understanding that we trust you, and you don’t treat our gear like a football.
2. Bring Them Back Alive (Return of Headsets)
All headsets must be returned in the same condition you received them.
That means:
Not smashed
Not drowned
Not “accidentally taken home”
Not mysteriously vanished into the night
If they come back damaged, altered, or missing, extra charges may apply (see below).
3. If You Break It, You Buy It (Liability for Damage)
You’re responsible for looking after the gear.
If a headset is:
Lost
Broken
Thrown into the ocean
Used as a pillow, weapon, or flotation device
…then a $100 replacement fee per headset applies.
Yes, even if it was “just an accident”.
4. Use Them Like a Normal Human (Usage Restrictions)
The headsets are for listening to music and dancing.
They are not for:
Modifying
Taking apart
Testing your engineering skills
Extreme sports
Any misuse may result in damage fees. Please don’t get creative.
5. Money Stuff (Payment & Security Deposit)
Full payment is required before the event.
In some cases, we may ask for a security deposit — don’t worry, you’ll get it back once everything is returned safely and passes the “yep, looks good” inspection.
6. Timing Matters (Collection & Return)
Please collect and return the headsets at the agreed times.
Late returns may incur extra fees, and nobody enjoys awkward follow-up messages.
Event Participation Waiver
(Yes, this part is serious — but we’ll keep it readable)
A. You Know What You’re Signing Up For (Assumption of Risk)
Silent discos are fun, but life happens.
By attending, you acknowledge that risks exist, including (but not limited to):
