    THIS AGREEMENT is made by and between the above named persons, hereinafter referred to as “renters” and Colonial Court Celebrations, Inc., (aka Colonial Court), for good and valuable consideration and for the mutual covenants and conditions herein contained, the parties agree as follows:

    Whereas, the wedding package price, plus taxes or other fees, if applicable, for the date/s and time/s set out above is $______________.  Sales tax, lodging tax, or other applicable fees required by law have been added to this rental amount.  The package price may be paid in equal monthly installments or in a lump sum, and must be paid in full at least sixty (60) days prior to the wedding and/or reception event, which date is: ______________   Colonial Court does not charge or require any gratuity charge or tip.

   Whereas, in addition to the package price, taxes, and other fees, if applicable, the renters shall pay a $300.00 security/damage deposit in order to reserve any event date.  No reservation is guaranteed or confirmed unless this Rental Agreement is signed and returned with the security/damage deposit and other requirements set out herein. Rentals are on a first come first serve basis.  Due to the popularity of certain dates each year, when two (2) persons want to rent the same date, as a courtesy, the person first interested in renting for a specific date will be given two (2) weeks to pay the security/damage deposit plus 25% of the full rental amount prior to giving the next person interested in that same date a chance to pay the $300 security/damage deposit plus 25% of the full rental amount. 

1. The $300 security/damage deposit is not applied to the event fees.   All parties agree that the deposit will be deposited into any business account of Colonial Court and shall be retained by Colonial Court until the facility is inspected and cleaned by Colonial Court owners following the event.

If  there is no loss or damage of the property and premises by renters or their guests, the security/damage deposit shall be refunded within two (2) weeks following the event.

If there is loss or damage, renters shall forfeit part or all of the security/damage deposit at the discretion of Colonial Court’s owners or agents.  Renters shall be notified in writing of the loss or damage as well as the amount of the deposit to be forfeited.  Further, renters are responsible for all losses or damages to premises and/or furnishings and furniture caused by the renters, guests, visitors, or any other persons exceeding the amount of the $300 deposit.  If legal action becomes necessary to collect for losses or damages, collection expenses, court costs, and attorney fees shall also be the responsibility of the renters.  By renting the premises, renters are assuming all risk and liability for any damage done to person or property or visitors occasioned by the present or future condition of the premises, both latent and manifest. Colonial Court and its owners are not responsible for accidents or injury to renters, guests, visitors, or any other persons or for the loss of money or valuables of any kind.  Renters do hereby agree to release, acquit, and forever discharge Colonial Court, its officers, affiliates, agents, servants, employees, its personal representatives, successors and assigns, and any and all other persons, firms or corporations in privity with it, of and from any and all claims, demands, and causes of action, that renters may have, have had,  or ever have arising out of or by reason of the renters’ rental for the event.  Further, renters agree to indemnify, protect, and hold harmless Colonial Court, its officers, affiliates, agents, servants, employees, its personal representatives, successors and assigns, against any claim for injuries, damages, or other consequences asserted by renters or their  guests, visitors, or any other persons during the rental term and times.

2.  The deposit, event fees, or other fees must be paid in cash or by check, money order, or cashier’s check.  Any check not honored by the bank may result in cancellation of the event, unless the deposit, rental fees, or other fees, plus assessed bank service charges, are paid in cash within ten (10) days after notice to the renters. 

3.  If renters cancel for any reason on or before ninety (90) to sixty (60) days prior to the event date, all parties agree that  $150.00 of the security/damage deposit shall be retained by Colonial Court as a processing fee for the canceled reservation.  If renters cancel for any reason between fifty-nine (59) to thirty (30) days  prior to the event date, all parties agree that the $300.00 security/damage deposit shall be retained by Colonial Court as a processing fee for the canceled reservation.  If however, renters cancel twenty-nine (29) or less days prior to the event date, the $300 security/damage deposit plus $500.00 of the event fee shall be forfeited as liquidated damages.  Any remaining event fees, lodging fees, taxes or other applicable fees, paid in advance, shall be fully refunded to renters within one (1) week of cancellation. 

If Colonial Court owners or agents must cancel any event for any reason that is not due to cancellation by renter/s or renter/s’ non-payment or non-compliance of the terms and provisions of this Rental Agreement, a full refund of the deposit, event fees, lodging fees, taxes or other applicable fees paid by renters in advance, shall be refunded to renters within three (3) days of cancellation by Colonial Court, and Colonial Court is hereby released of any further liability from any and all foreseeable or unforeseeable damages.

4.  Check-in and check-out times are strictly enforced in order to prepare Colonial Court for other schedule events.  Late check-out will result in additional rental fees of $15.00 per  each additional ten (10) minutes of rental time spent on the premises.

5. All items brought in by renters must be removed by renters prior to check-out time.
