Terms of Service + POLICIES

Pop Up Picnic Co (PUPCo) is the luxury picnic leader because we make it our mission to put the client experience at the forefront of everything we do. With that in mind, we cannot control many of the variables that make a Pop Up Picnic so magical- the location, weather, privacy, (and other factors that we may not even know are at play, like people!) are ever-changing. We ask that clients keep this in mind when booking. We also ask that you, Client (the person booking the service) assumes all inherent risk and responsibility for themselves and their guests when booking. Please share all information with your guests before arrival to ensure safety + the best experience possible. PUPCo is not responsible for any loss, be it physical, personal, monetary or otherwise. These terms are subject to change at any time, without notice.

LOCATION: The nature of the picnic is access to public spaces. The maps we provide to clients are meant to serve as a guide, but we cannot guarantee any location as they are all first-come, first-served. We may move your picnic, at our discretion, to provide the best experience possible. We may move a picnic for any number of reasons, some of the most frequent are safety, privacy (we cannot control who will be in a public space and when,) access to shade, views among other reasons. We cannot guarantee an exact location although we will do our best to acquire access. If we cannot garner access, we will set up in another suitable location nearby. We cannot guarantee privacy. All local rules, signs, laws and other permissions apply. Namely, glass and alcohol are prohibited at most San Diego parks and all San Diego beaches and shoreline parks. We cannot guarantee privacy, these are public spaces.

ACCESSIBILITY: The locations are generally deemed safe at time of booking but they each have their own risk and accessibility issues- please remember these are public spaces and we have no control over terrain, public use, weather, etc. Please let us know before booking if you require assistance in getting to a picnic location or if you require a specific type of equipment (table and chairs vs pillow seating.) Please be advised that many locations have rough, hard to access terrain including steep inclines, steps, grass, uneven pathways, sand, rocks and other barriers. Locations are often changing due to natural processes (wind, rain, wave activity, etc.) for this reason, we cannot guarantee access.

CLIFFS: Please stay at least 4 feet from any cliffs. Please verify that our intended location is safe for children before booking. We DO NOT recommend ANY cliffside locations if children will be present. This includes but is not limited to Torrey Pines + Sunset Cliffs.

BEACH: If you book a beach picnic, you do so at your own risk. We do our best to plan for the tide but there is a possibility of rogue wave activity and you and your belongings may get wet. PUPCo is not responsible for damages to personal items.

WEATHER: All reservations are weather permitting. In the event of a rare rain event, we will do all we can to accommodate a dry picnic either by moving to a covered location or by rescheduling to another day or time. PUPCo defines a “rain event” as being a 30% or greater chance of rain in the picnic location and time, up to 30 minutes before or after, as determined by Weather Underground and Accuweather. No refunds will be issued for weather-related changes. A full credit will be available if CLIENT prefers to reschedule. If CLIENT requests to reschedule with a low chance of rain (29% or less), PUPCo may issue a reduced credit to cover the cost of food + flowers.

FOOD: Please be sure to let us know of any food sensitivities before booking. We do our best to limit cross-contamination with potential allergens. Our kitchen is largely gluten-free but gluten may have come into contact with other products before being handled in our facility. We also handle dairy, beef, pork, turkey, chicken, nuts (peanuts, tree nuts, coconut) alliums and soy.

FURNITURE + DECOR: Please only use these items in the manner which they were intended. CLIENT assumes all risk that is inherent when using furniture + decor items.

PHOTOS: By asking the PUPCo team to take photos, you allow us to post on our social media accounts and any promotional materials we may produce in the future. All photos are the sole property of Pop Up Picnic Co and will be used at our discretion.
