PAYMENT TERMS

In all other cases, the deposit shall be forfeited in the event of cancellation.
Final payment is due at the scheduled end of the event or, if earlier, the time indicated by the customer as the end of the event. If the customer utilizes only the Company’s designated event space, the customer will pay the greater of $750 (plus sales tax) or the amount determined in accordance with the Company’s price schedule for Event Experiences and Add-Ons (the “Schedule Amount”).
