Service Agreement

DEFINITIONS

For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below:

• "Agreement" means this Service Agreement, including all attachments, schedules, and amendments.

• "Bar Service" means the mobile bartending company providing services under this Agreement.

• "Client" means the individual or entity contracting for services.

• "Event" means the specific occasion for which services are being provided.

• "Service Area" means the designated bar location and immediate surrounding area as defined in the service proposal.

• "Venue" means the physical location where the Event will take place.

• "Force Majeure Event" means any cause beyond the reasonable control of a party, including acts of God, war, terrorism, government restrictions, pandemic, natural disasters, or other unforeseeable circumstances.

SUBJECT TO AVAILABILITY AND DYNAMIC PRICING

All services offered by Bar Service are subject to availability and dynamic pricing. The completion of the reservation request process does not guarantee the availability of services nor lock in the initial quoted price. Prices are based on demand and may vary according to the number of reservations on a given date. Bar Service reserves the right to adjust pricing and to decline any reservation request at its discretion.

In the event of any adjustments to pricing following your reservation request, you will be promptly notified and provided with an updated quote. Your acceptance of the revised pricing will be required to finalize the reservation. Should you choose not to proceed with the reservation due to price adjustments or if your reservation is declined by Bar Service, all payments made by you in relation to the reservation will be fully refunded.

This approach ensures transparency and fairness, allowing us to provide the highest quality of service tailored to each event's specific requirements and demand levels.

NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT AND PAYMENTS

To secure Bar Service for the service date, a non-refundable deposit of 25% of the total service fee is required, along with credit card information. The final balance is due no later than 14 days prior to the event date.

Deposits and payments can be made via Venmo, check, credit/debit card, or ACH transfer. A transaction fee may be applied to invoices paid via card or Venmo.

A late fee of 1.5% per month (18% per annum) will be applied, prorated daily, to all amounts remaining unpaid 7 days after the due date. This fee will accrue until the balance is paid in full. Additionally, any checks returned due to insufficient funds will incur a $50 processing fee. All deposits and payments made are non-refundable as they represent a commitment of resources for your event.

The Client understands that the deposit of 25% of the total service fee is non-refundable and non-transferable. The deposit will be used to secure services, inventory, and time for the date of the Client's event. The Client acknowledges that the deposit covers time allotted, loss of inventory, and opportunity costs for Bar Service. Deposits are specific to the event and date for which they were made and cannot be transferred to other events or dates.

LIQUOR LIABILITY INSURANCE

Bar Service maintains general liability, workers' compensation, and commercial auto insurance as part of standard operations. Liquor liability insurance is available as an optional add-on service for an additional fee based on event type, size, duration, and risk assessment.

Automatic Liquor Liability Requirements

Liquor liability coverage will be automatically included and required for events meeting any of the following criteria:

- Events where venue specifically requires such coverage

- Events identified as high-risk based on Bar Service's assessment

Optional Liquor Liability:

For events not meeting automatic requirements, clients may purchase liquor liability coverage. Pricing will be provided during the booking process based on event specifics.

Certificate of Insurance Delivery

Bar Service will provide a Certificate of Insurance to the venue prior to the event, naming the venue as additional insured on Bar Service's general liability policy, in accordance with venue requirements. Client is responsible for communicating any specific insurance requirements from the venue to Bar Service no later than 14 days prior to the event.

CREDIT CARD AUTHORIZATION

By providing your credit card information, Client authorizes Bar Service to charge the provided credit card for all agreed-upon fees relating to the services rendered. This authorization is valid up to 30 days past the service date. This includes, but is not limited to, the agreed contract price, additional hours of service, liquor liability insurance fees, any fees resulting from damages or additional cleaning, equipment replacement costs, and any other fees or charges as outlined in this Agreement. It is your responsibility to notify Bar Service in writing of any changes to your credit card information.

TERMINATION

The Client may terminate this Agreement at any time by providing written notice to Bar Service and completing a formal cancellation form. Upon cancellation or termination, all deposits and payments previously made to Bar Service will be retained and any monies owed will be billed or charged to the card on file at Bar Service's discretion. Bar Service commits to honor all accepted reservations and will not terminate this Agreement or cancel its services, except under unforeseeable circumstances beyond its control, as outlined in the "Force Majeure" clause, or for safety and security reasons as determined by Bar Service in its sole discretion.

RESCHEDULING

The service may not be rescheduled to a new date without the payment of an additional, new non-refundable deposit of 25% of the total service fee for the new date. If Client wishes to reschedule their event for a different date, a new service agreement must be executed for the new service date, and the terms of the new agreement will apply. Any liquor liability insurance fees paid for the original date are non-transferable and new coverage must be purchased for the rescheduled event if required.

SERVICE AND CONTRACT MODIFICATIONS

Modifications or changes to services or event details must be requested no later than 14 days prior to the event. Additions to services are welcomed at any time, subject to availability, and may incur additional charges.

Changes made within 48 hours of the service date are considered last-minute changes and will be subject to a fee of 20% of the amount the invoice changes or a flat fee of $100, whichever is greater. This fee compensates for adjustments to staffing, supplies, and logistics on short notice. Any modifications or additions to services become binding once confirmed in writing by both parties.

HEADCOUNT AND SECURITY DEPOSITS

The Client is required to provide an accurate guest headcount at least three (3) days prior to the event. If the actual number of guests exceeds the headcount provided by the Client, an additional fee of $50 per extra guest will be charged.

Bar Service reserves the right to cancel the event if the actual number of guests on the day of the event exceeds the provided headcount by more than 10%. This is due to the impact a significantly larger guest count would have on the quality of service. In such an event, all deposits and payments made by the Client will be forfeited.

Security Deposits for High-Risk Events

For events identified as high-risk (including but not limited to events with over 200 guests, events extending past midnight, or events at venues with limited security), Bar Service may require an additional security deposit of $500-$2,000. This deposit will be returned within 30 days post-event if no damages, excessive cleaning, or other issues occur.
