Terms & Conditions of Hire

Our Terms & Conditions

Booking Fee/Deposit: 10%

Entire Agreement: This agreement contains the entire understanding between the client and Central Coast Events.

Booking Fee/Deposit: In the event of the client cancelling the event for any reason, the booking fee is non-refundable. It will be considered as liquidated damages to Central Coast Events.

If you cancel within 5 months of the event, you will receive a 50% refund of the extra amount paid above the deposit. If you cancel within 30 days of your event, there is NO refund of the agreed total or deposit.

The remaining balance of the event fee must be paid in full BEFORE 30 days prior to your event (unless other arrangements are accepted by Central Coast Events). Any payments received less than 30 days before the event must be by cash or card. No cheques are accepted.

If you have rescheduled your event date due to the COVID-19 crisis, the cancellation terms above are not valid. There will be NO refunds from the original date to the new rescheduled event date.

If you book an event after 23rd March 2020, you are fully aware that the Covid restrictions can change at any time. From 23rd March 2020, you can postpone your event once within 12 months. If you have to postpone again, there will be a 35% fee added to the invoice.

Security Bond: Central Coast Events will require debit card or credit card details upon taking the booking. It is agreed to that the client allows Central Coast Events to take payments from the provided card details in the event of loss/stolen or damages resulting from insufficient protection of equipment or services or any other charges that may apply.

Pre-Event Consultation: This normally happens at the time of booking. The client will outline broadly what is required and Central Coast Events will advise on planning, logistics and timings where needed. If required, the client is welcome to pop in for an additional chat closer to the time of the event (about 4 weeks) to iron out the remaining details. In any case, we will contact you by phone a week before the event to ensure that there have been no last-minute changes.

Cooperation: The client and Central Coast Events consent to happily cooperating and communicating with each other to achieve the best possible result within the understanding of this contract.

It is agreed to that the client will take reasonable steps to protect Central Coast Events' equipment during the contracted period. In the event of damages resulting from insufficient protection on the client’s part, the client will be responsible for paying all of Central Coast Events' resulting costs (including, but not limited to, replacement costs, repairs) that are not reimbursed by insurance.

This agreement cannot be cancelled except by mutual written consent of both the client and Central Coast Events. If cancellation is initiated by the client in writing and agreed to by Central Coast Events in writing, the client will be required to pay any unrecoverable costs already incurred by Central Coast Events (but not more than the total fee agreed upon).

The client may not transfer this contract to another party without the prior written consent of Central Coast Events.

Central Coast Events are not responsible for any rubbish or mess left behind by your guests.

Photo Booth Copyright Law: The copyright of photographs remains with Central Coast Events. Central Coast Events grants the client permission to make copies of the images under the following conditions. The images taken by the photo booth are for personal use by the client and their friends and relatives. Sale, publication or any commercial use of the photographs is not allowed without prior written permission from Central Coast Events.

The client agrees to provide a meal for the photo booth and DJ hire staff if the length of attendance exceeds 4 hours.

Central Coast Events will only provide the services or equipment listed on the invoice. Please make sure you have checked these details.

Delivery of Goods: Delivery of the goods is taken to occur at the time that:

(a) the customer or the customer’s nominated carrier takes possession of the goods at the supplier’s address; or

(b) the supplier (or the supplier’s nominated carrier) delivers the goods to the customer’s nominated address, even if the customer is not present at the address.

At the supplier’s sole discretion, the cost of delivery is in addition to the charges. The supplier may deliver the goods in separate instalments. Each separate instalment shall be invoiced and paid in accordance with the provisions in these terms and conditions.

Any time specified by the supplier for delivery of the goods is an estimate only and the supplier will not be liable for any loss or damage incurred by the customer as a result of delivery being late. However, both parties agree that they shall make every endeavour to enable the goods to be delivered at the time and place as was arranged between both parties. In the event that the supplier is unable to supply the goods as agreed solely due to any action or inaction of the customer, then the supplier shall be entitled to charge a reasonable fee for redelivery and/or storage.

Central Coast Events has the right to change and modify the terms and conditions without notice.

Once the client has paid the 10% deposit, the client has agreed to the terms and conditions.
