Contract - Costume Rental Policies

COSTUME RENTAL AGREEMENT: The rental of costumes is done by The Contract only. Each rental requires a completed and approved Costume Rental Agreement. Daisyleo Dancewear Rentals are not for sale; they are for rental purposes only.

RENTAL DEPOSIT & RESERVATIONS: Our Rentals are available by reservation only with a $50 deposit. To ensure the costume(s) you require will be available, we recommend that you contact us well in advance of your required rental date(s). Last minute rentals will incur a rush fee (see below).

CUSTOMER REPRESENTATION: If The Customer is an organization or renting for multiple dancers within the same organization (dance/theatre school, company, etc.), we prefer to work with one person who will act as agent for The Customer. This should be the person responsible for the selection, receiving, care, and return of the rental costumes. The Customer is responsible for all payments, including late fees and damages.

TERMS OF PAYMENT: Upon execution of the Costume Rental Contract, The Customer agrees to pay all rental fees and deposits immediately. We accept VISA, Master Card, American Express, and Discover Card. We do NOT accept checks, money orders, or cash for costume rentals. We do NOT accept Purchase Orders as payment.

Custom Rentals: A Costume may be built specifically for The Customer as a rental, at the discretion of Daisyleo Dancewear and in coordination with The Customer. All design choices are at the discretion and final decision of Daisyleo Dancewear. If a Custom Rental is being built specifically for The Customer, 50% of the rental fee must be paid upfront, before costumes are begun, and is NON- REFUNDABLE if The Customer decides for any reason that they do not need the costume.

REFUNDABLE DAMAGE/LOSS DEPOSIT: Daisyleo Dancewear reserves the right to require a refundable security deposit for the Full Replacement Value of the costumes, authorized on the Customer’s credit card. Deposit refunds are processed within 1 week of the Rental Costume returning to Daisyleo Dancewear, after being assessed for damage, repairs, excessive cleaning, etc. The Deposit will be calculated at the time of rental inquiry, and must be paid at the time of contract signing to reserve your Rental.

RENTAL FEES: All Rental(s) are rented on a per-piece basis, for the term and amounts specified in The Contract. The options are as follows:

In-town, daily rental: $50 per costume. Costumes are delivered and picked up same-day by a Daisyleo Dancewear representative. This option is only available within 10 miles of Chico, CA.
Weekly rental: $150 per costume. Costumes available for local delivery within 25 miles of Chico, CA, Customer pickup, or shipping at The Customer’s expense. Costume will be returned by The Customer. Additional Days beyond Day 7 are available at $30 per day.
Monthly rental: $450 per costume. Monthly rate includes a 25% discount from a 4-week rate (valued at $600). Custom Rentals may be available for this rental term, at the discretion of Daisyleo Dancewear.
Finals Competition Discount: If the dancer is renting the costume for a competition and has advanced to or been invited to Finals (or Nationals), we would like to congratulate the dancer with a 50% discount off the Weekly rental rate (+ Additional Days if needed) for the Finals competition. Proof of advancement may be requested.

Dancers for any rental options are welcome to a fitting at Daisyleo Dancewear’s studio before committing to a rental costume and Contract.

LAST MINUTE RENTALS: Last-minute rentals will incur a rush fee due to the fact that the Shop will have to fit them in for alterations and often has to incur overtime when this happens. We have two levels of Rush Fees:

Rentals done within 1 week of shipment or pickup will incur a rush fee of $50.
Rentals done within 48 hours of shipment or pickup will incur a rush fee of $100.

SHIPPING, PICKUP, OR DELIVERY CHARGES: Costume delivery is available within 10 miles of Chico, CA for an in-town daily rental (includes costume pickup), or 25 miles for a weekly rental. Outside of this range, The Customer is responsible for all shipping charges from DaisyLeo Dancewear to The Customer, and for all shipping charges for the return of Rental(s) to DaisyLeo Dancewear from The Customer (see SHIPPING OF COSTUMES, RECEIVING OF COSTUMES, and RETURN SHIPPING OF COSTUMES below for details). We can estimate shipping charge prior to shipment, subject to adjustment as necessary.

CLEANING FEE: A Standard Cleaning Fee of $25.00 (USD) is included in the rental fee and will be assessed. Depending on what we determine to be required to appropriately clean and sanitize the costume, additional charges may be incurred upon return in addition to the Standard Cleaning Fee. The Excessive Cleaning Fees will be charged to the Customer’s provided credit card.

PENALTY FOR LATE RETURNS: All costumes are to be returned to DaisyLeo Dancewear premises no later than the Rental Return-By Date as specified in The Contract. If any Rentals are returned after this date, The Customer will be charged the Daily Rental Rate for the Rental(s) as specified on The Contract for EACH day until DaisyLeo Dancewear receives the Rental(s). The Late Fees will be charged to the Customer’s provided credit card.

LOSS OR DAMAGE: The Customer assumes all responsibility for any loss-of and/or damage-to all items rented as specified on The Contract for any cause whatsoever. In the event of loss, DaisyLeo Dancewear reserves the right to charge the Full Replacement Value of the costume to the Customer’s provided credit card.

In the event of damage, The Customer agrees that DaisyLeo Dancewear will charge such amounts as DaisyLeo Dancewear determines necessary for the repair or replacement of the Rental(s). Damage fees will be assessed for, but are not limited to, rips, tears, burns, stains, missing decorations, or improper alterations. We are aware that ballet partnering is hard on costumes and we take “normal” ballet wear-and-tear into consideration when assessing damage.

ADDITIONAL PENALTIES: Costumes that are returned late, require excessive cleaning or repairs, or are severely damaged, lost, or destroyed may impact our ability to deliver another rental. At our discretion, DaisyLeo Dancewear may assess additional penalties.

TERMINATION: Either party may terminate this contractual agreement with cause by giving written notice at least 14 days prior to the Ship-Date as specified on The Contract, without incurring any fees by the other party.

Less than 14 days notice: No refund or credit of rental fees will be given. This also applies if The Customer is having a rental built for their use. Said Custom Rental deposit of 50% is NOT REFUNDABLE, as stated under “Terms of Payment”.
More than 14 days notice, if only deposit paid: The deposit will be returned ONLY if any alterations to the costume have not yet been made. If alterations have begun being made for the Dancer, Daisyleo Dancewear reserves the right to retain the deposit as compensation for the alterations time.
More than 14 days notice, if paid in full: A credit for 50% of the total paid will be given in the form of a gift card for use toward a future rental or any products that DaisyLeo Dancewear sells. Credit will be good for one year from the date issued.

REFUNDS: There are NO refunds for rented costume items shipped but not used, for any reason whatsoever.

SUBSTITUTIONS: In the event any reserved costume item is unavailable for shipment when due, Daisyleo Dancewear reserves the right to substitute a similar costume item. However, Daisyleo Dancewear will make every effort to contact The Customer to discuss the substitution prior to shipment.

MEASUREMENTS AND FITTINGS: It is the customer’s responsibility to send accurate measurements, or arrange a fitting if local. Daisyleo Dancewear is not liable for any refunds due to ill-fitting costumes. At our discretion, for certain costumes, or if requested by The Customer, we will provide a Measurements Form and instructions for The Customer to obtain selected measurements from The Dancer. Rentals done within 1 week of the ship/pickup date are not guaranteed to be altered to the dancer.

Dancers are welcome to a fitting at Daisyleo Dancewear’s studio before committing to a rental costume and Contract.

CARE OF GARMENTS: The Customer agrees that all costumes shall be used only for the purpose and in the manner for which they are intended. Only The Performers who will perform in each specific costume may be allowed to wear the costume. The Costume(s) may not be used for any other purpose than originally intended, or by any other Performer(s) than for whom The Costume was rented.

During the term of The Contract, The Customer agrees to use best effort to care for and protect The Costume(s), and ensure they remain clean and sanitary. The Customer will not allow The Performer(s) or other individuals to take The Costume(s) home, to school, or anywhere else. Costumes must remain in the care of The Customer.

Storage: The Customer agrees to carefully store these costumes in the following manner:

Daisyleo Dancewear will provide a storage bag with the costume for transportation. Costumes must be completely dry before storing. Each bag must be returned with the Costume.
Classical Tutus must be hung upside-down using the attached hanging-loops through the leg openings, or they can be laid flat on a clean surface away from pets and young children. A tutu hanger may be provided with your rental, if available.
Romantic Tutus and other costumes with dresses or skirts that are not Classical Tutus must be hung-up using the attached hanging loops, folding the dress through a hanger, or using a clip hanger on the BODICE. Avoid prolonged hanging by the shoulder straps.

Wearing: The Customer further agrees that Performers will adhere to the following conditions while wearing The Costume(s):

All Performers wearing The Costume(s) must powder their makeup before wearing these costumes to reduce transfer. If the Performer(s) are to be partnered, their partner's makeup must also be powdered. The dancer and partner should also thoroughly wash their hands after applying makeup to reduce transfer. Extra care should be taken when using tattoo cover-up.
All performers wearing The Costume must wear appropriate undergarments to protect The Costume against excessive sweat or other stains. We recommend that all dancers wear a pair of trunks or a nude under-leotard under any rental costume, both to protect the costume and for personal sanitary reasons. Other undergarments might include tights, body tights, dance bra, etc. Performers who may be menstruating should also take additional precautions to prevent stains or damage.
No one may smoke (cigarettes, cigars, pipe, vape, marijuana, etc.) while wearing or handling The Costume.
No one may sit on the floor while wearing The Costume.
No one may eat or drink anything other than water while wearing The Costume.
No one may chew gum while wearing The Costume.
No one may use or be around crayons, magic markers, dyes of any kind, paints, pastels, or any other material that colors fabric, paper, or anything else while wearing or handling The Costume(s).
Only the Approved Performer(s) listed on the Rental Agreement for each specific Costume is allowed to wear The Costume.

CLEANING OF COSTUMES: The Customer is expressly DENIED permission to clean, dry-clean, spot-clean, use any stain-remover compound, wash, or dry any costume item. However, we recognize that in certain circumstances rapid attention may remove or alleviate some stains (blood, food, drink, etc.), In particular, blood stains should be immediately rinsed-out with COLD WATER ONLY, unless said bloodstain is in the panty of a tutu. In this case, the crotch of tutu should be immediately washed by hand with COLD WATER AND DAWN DISHWASHING DETERGENT since it is readily available, and you should contact us for further instructions. You MUST contact us to obtain instructions BEFORE attempting any other cleaning. This does not release The Customer from responsibility and from DAMAGE/LOSS assessment.

ALTERATION GUIDELINES: It is understood that costumes are rented AS-IS. Alterations may be made by Daisyleo Dancewear prior to your rental term, at their discretion and approval. If you need to make any minor alterations, we strongly recommend, and encourage, you to reach out to Daisyleo Dancewear so that we can best advise you within the specific construction of each Costume.

For fitting purposes, minor alterations are allowed, as follows:

Hooks and eyes (or bars) may be added, but existing hooks and eyes (or bars) may not be moved or removed.
- If appropriate, we will include one full set of additional eyes/bars with each rental, to be used for the rental costume. For example: if the Costume has 6 pairs of hooks and eyes, we will give you an additional set of 6 eyes. If not used, they must be returned with the costume, or you will be charged for them at the current retail rate.
- Bodice straps may be shortened or lengthened.
Bodice straps may be swapped for a different colored elastic to match the Dancer’s skin tone if desired. Original bodice straps may NOT be “pancaked”, and should be returned with the Costume.

The following are NOT allowed:

Do NOT use any tape, iron-on bonding web, glue, sticker name-tags, or any other adhesive to make attachments or alterations.
Do NOT use staples, paper-clips, or straight-pins to make attachments or alterations.
