Café Patricio Venue Rental Agreement
Café Patricio Venue Rental Agreement
The rental agreement secures owner protection through clauses that hold the Renter liable for any physical damages, legal actions, or loss of reputation or business opportunities caused during their control of the venue. The Renter must indemnify the Owner against legal actions arising from venue use. Additionally, a non-refundable reservation fee and requirement for full payment protect the Owner financially against booking losses .
Financially, the renter agrees to pay Php35,000 for catering for 60 guests, with extra charges for additional guests at Php583 each, and a Php15,000 exclusive venue rental fee. Operationally, renters must pay a Php5,000 non-refundable reservation fee, complete 50% of payments 15 days before the event, fulfill the remaining balance on-site, and ensure all personal properties are removed by rental expiration. Renters are liable for any damages, legal action, or reputational harms caused during their use .
The non-refundable reservation fee of Php5,000 serves as a financial commitment from the Renter, securing the venue booking from potential cancellations without holding the Owner financially liable for slots held without gain. This fee is credited towards the final rental charges, ensuring continued engagement, but is forfeited in cancellations to mitigate revenue loss for the Owner .
The Renter is responsible for removing all personal property and for any damages incurred during use, which will be deducted from their security deposit. The Owner, however, is indirectly responsible for reclaiming the venue in a condition minimally altered by the Renter’s event, ensuring charges for repairs are applied as necessary .
If the Renter fails to comply with the contract terms, they face liabilities including payment for legal fees, court costs, and other expenses incurred by the Owner for balance recovery. Furthermore, the Renter is liable for any damages, reputational harm, and business losses experienced by the Owner due to actions by the Renter or guests. Failure to pay on time also subjects the Renter to legal actions within the Owner’s local jurisdiction .
The venue rental agreement specifies several payment and usage conditions: first, the Renter agrees to pay a Php35,000 fee for catering services which cover 60 persons, including specific menu items and one round of iced tea. For guests in excess of 60, an additional Php583 per head is charged. Second, the Renter must pay Php15,000 for exclusive venue use until 8:00 pm on December 18, 2022. Half of the total cost must be paid 15 days prior to the event, with a Php5,000 non-refundable reservation that applies to the final bill. The balance must be settled within an hour post-event closure, with responsibility for personal property removal and any venue damages. The Renter is also liable for any damages, legal fees, and reputation losses suffered by the Owner due to the Renter’s actions .
Upon concluding the venue rental period, the Renter must ensure all personal properties and any items that were not originally present in the venue are removed. Furthermore, they must settle the rental fee balance and tender back any displays, equipment, and fixtures used during the event .
The agreement allows for theme setup customization by offering an additional option for a 'Little Mermaid' theme setup at an extra cost of Php6,000. This flexibility enables the Renter to personalize the event aesthetic while charging appropriately to cover setup expenses .
The contract requires a Php5,000 non-refundable reservation fee to secure the booking, which is applied to the final invoice. Half of the total payment for venue rental and catering must be paid 15 days before the event. These provisions ensure that the Owner receives partial payment upfront, reducing financial risk while securing the venue and services .
The contract stipulates that any disputes arising under the agreement shall be adjudicated in the Owner’s local jurisdiction. Additionally, the Renter is required to indemnify and hold the Owner harmless against any legal actions arising from the Renter’s use of the venue, including liabilities for physical damages, legal actions, and any adverse impact on the Owner's reputation or business opportunities .
