Cost and refund/cancellation policy
The rental period is for 30 days, and each week or portion of a week after that is an additional 60 dollars. You are responsible for picking the tub up from my home in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle and returning it to me here. The tub comes complete with everything you should need for one birth, all the tarps, fittings, single use new lead and BPA free hose, disposable liner, thermometer, pump for emptying, fishnet for scooping "debris", tub etc. All the tubs will fit in almost every car, as long as it has a back seat or trunk area.
Your payment in full will hold the date for your birth tub rental reservation. After picking up the tub, should your birth need to occur in the hospital, or you transfer in labor without using the tub, I am unable to refund your money, as you will have had the tub for your use during the reserved period, making it unavailable to others. I will happily refund your PAID tub rental fee minus $50 if your plans change after you have paid for the tub but NOT yet picked it up.
