AGE
The online booking system is for users aged 16 and over only. McDonald's reserves the right to cancel any birthday party that has been booked online by a person under the age of 16 who does not have the consent of a parent or legal guardian.

GENERAL
1. We also act as the agent for restaurants operated by a franchisee of McDonald's, and your contract with the restaurant is directly with them. Bookings are subject to these terms and conditions and policies and you should read these before proceeding with your booking. Our role as agent is limited to facilitating bookings.

2. We may pass on your other essential booking details to the restaurant. For details of how we collect and use your personal information please view our Privacy Policy. You can control the information you have provided and can modify or delete information you have entered by accessing your profile on the Website following registration.

Prices published on the Website are subject to change without notice.

6. The person making the party booking must be over 16 years. To eliminate booking fraud, the person making the booking will need to register as a user, providing a valid email address. An email will be sent to the email address provided and to finalise and complete the booking the user must click the link in that email. Failure to complete this step will result in the booking being incomplete and not entered into the system.

Changes or cancellations cannot be made later than forty-eight (48) hours prior to the party. Contact Customer Service should you need to modify or cancel your booking after this time.

The maximum number of party guests allowed varies depending on the restaurant chosen. A miminum of one (1) supervising adult is required to remain in attendance for the entirety of the party, however McDonald's recommends that one (1) adult per ten (10) children in attendance be present to supervise. Birthday party packages do not incorporate food or beverages for supervising adults, however food and beverages in addition to the party packages may be purchased from the restaurant on the day.

9. McDonald's recommends that birthday parties be booked for and attended by children aged 3 years and above. Games, toys and accessories provided as part of each birthday party package have been safety tested and recommended only for children aged 3 years and above.
