TERMS OF AGREEMENT:
1) The Renter agrees to use the facility in a lawful and careful manner, to prevent damage to the facility or injury to the participants, and to prevent any nuisance from occurring in or around the premises of the facility. The Renter further agrees to return the facility to the condition in which the renter receives it.
2) The Renter agrees that the damage deposit specified above will be applied to any damage or excessive cleaning charges incurred to the facilities during the term of the rental. The Renter further agrees to indemnify the Association for any costs incurred, more than the damage deposit, to restore the facilities to the condition in which the Renter received them.
3) Additional set-up, clean-up, and take-down time on the day(s) of the Agreement Period will result in a fine of $15.00 (plus GST) for every 15-minute interval utilized by the Renter, above and beyond details agreed to in the Rental Agreement.
4) If the City authorities (police, fire, other) and/or the Association’s representative(s) are called to the building during the Renter’s event for a false alarm (eg children pull a fire alarm), the Renter will automatically forfeit a minimum of 50% of the damage deposit, up to the full amount of the damage deposit. If the City authorities and/or the Association’s representative(s) are called to the building for negligence or malicious disregard of the rental terms by the Renter or the Renter’s guests (eg: police are called by nearby residents for noise complaints, fighting in the parking lot; or non-compliance of rental end-time needing police to be called to evict the Renter), the renter will automatically forfeit a minimum of 50% of the damage deposit, up to the full amount of the damage deposit.
If there is a legitimate medical, fire or police emergency on site, the Renter should not hesitate to call 9-1-1 for assistance. If the call for authorities is not caused by negligence, carelessness, or malicious actions, then no charge will be withheld from the Renter’s damage deposit.
5) Association insurance does not extend coverage to third party users. Regardless of the nature of the rental activity, the Renter must be made aware of their liability. In some instances, a person’s own home insurance will extend coverage to them outside of their home, but they must investigate, and obtain proof of their own insurance coverage for the Association. The Renter must acknowledge the Association DOES NOT provide any insurance coverage for the Renter’s participants or activities.
6)The Renter agrees to save, indemnify, and hold the Association harmless from any legal liability for bodily harm, injury, or death or property damage arising by, or because of, the use and occupancy by the Renter of the facilities, no matter how caused.
7) The Renter further agrees to waive any right to recovery against the Association, for any loss or damage incurred to the Renter’s property, during the term of this Agreement, and the Association specifically states as a term of the agreement that it is not liable for any loss or damage incurred.
8) The Renter is responsible for setting up all tables & chairs. Depending on the event timing, the Renter may be responsible for putting away all tables & chairs from the same locations that they removed them, or the Association’s care taking staff may do this for you – please discuss the specific option for your event with the Association’s Office Manager. If the Renter moves tables or chairs between levels of the building, the Renter must return the tables and chairs to the same level they started on. All large events do NOT put away tables and chairs – the care taking staff will do this.
9) The Renter shall remove all the equipment (sound, catering, decoration, or other), food, drink, tables/chairs etc brought onto the premises immediately after the event behind held – it is not possible to store such equipment in our building overnight as it may interfere with other rentals the next day. The Association reserves the right to remove such items and takes no responsibility for their condition.
10) The Renter agrees to remove all garbage and place it in the agreed upon location, as determined by the Association. If using a garbage bin, garbage must be placed directly into the bin and not on the ground. Should there be garbage on the floor the Renter is responsible to sweep the floor. Failure to do so will result in a Damage Deposit fee.
11) The Association prohibits the throwing of rice, bird seed, flower petals, confetti or any other material tossed in the building or around the property. Also prohibited are open flames/wax candles (small votives inside a protective container are acceptable), and helium balloons (due to high vaulted ceilings).
In addition, the Association prohibits pinning or sticking any posters or other decorations on walls which would leave scars or holes. In general, renters should not impair any part of rental areas. Only painters’ tape should be used on floors or walls. All tape must be removed by the renter.

18) If the Renter must cancel: For smaller events/meetings (in a single room, rent below $250), requests must be received more than four weeks in advance; for payment(s) already made, cancellations can be refunded, less a $25 admin fee; or payment(s) can be applied to a new date. For larger events (in Main Hall or multiple rooms, rent over $250), requests must be received more than three months in advance; original deposit and installment payments are non-refundable; all payments can be applied to a new date, less a $25 admin fee.
