Uplight Gemach – Terms & Conditions

Equipment

You will receive 8 wireless, multi coloured, professional uplights with a minimum of six hours battery life. Colours are set using the one remote included. *Bar Mitzvah will be given the option of 12 lights.

Collection and Return

Collection and return take place in Golders Green. Please WhatsApp me before arriving, as we have young children asleep. All lights must be returned fully charged, unless otherwise agreed.

Collection Rules

Collection is usually between 8pm and 10pm, unless agreed otherwise.

• Weekday Events (Monday – Thursday): collection is the night before your simcha.
• Weekend Events (Friday, Shabbat or Sunday): collection is Thursday night.

Return Rules

The lights must be returned the next day fully charged, unless otherwise agreed. Return is usually between 8pm and 10pm.

• If the lights are not returned fully charged, a £10 recharging fee will be applied.
• If you are unable to return the lights fully charged, please let us know in advance so we can arrange an alternative charging schedule.
• If lights are requested back the same evening due to tight scheduling, the recharging fee will be waived.

Care and Responsibility

The lights are valued at over £3,000. Please take reasonable care and do not leave them unattended, including in a vehicle.

• Responsibility for the equipment passes to you upon collection and remains until return.
• The lights are for indoor use only. For marquee use, lights must be fully covered and never left outside overnight, as moisture can cause damage.
• Lost or damaged remotes carry a £20 replacement fee.

Waiver

A waiver will be sent 7 days before your event. If your request is within 7 days, the waiver will be sent immediately. The waiver must be signed prior to collection.

No waiver. No collection.

Availability

Equipment is available on a first-come, first-served basis. Your booking is not confirmed until the £50 community contribution has been received.

Contribution

A £50 community contribution is requested upfront, prior to collection. This helps maintain, repair, and grow the equipment so we can continue supporting families.

We have invested over £7,000 in equipment to make this possible and to ensure everything is safe, reliable, and well maintained. If this amount is difficult for you, please speak to us — we are a Gemach and here to help.

Community Commitment

These guidelines allow the Gemach to function smoothly and remain available to everyone celebrating simchot throughout the year.
