2.4 Pyrotechnics NI Ltd accepts no liability for delays, conditions, or refusals of a DoJ licence beyond our control.
2A. Seasonal & Premium Date Pricing

2A.2 Premium dates include, but are not limited to:
New Year’s Eve
Bonfire Night
Halloween
Boxing Day
Other nationally or locally significant celebration dates

Full payment in advance
Non-refundable deposits or fees

Subsequent promotions or discounts
Alternative or competing quotations obtained by the client
