Booking Information
A separate check of $300 for the refundable security deposit is required for every booking for damage and cleaning fees. A walkthrough of the facility with The Box staff and the contract signer will be made prior to and immediately after an event to check that the area is left in proper condition and to determine if any damage to The Box or its equipment has resulted from the renter’s use. If anything of greater value than $400 is found to be damaged or lost, it is Renter’s responsibility to restore or replace the item(s) in question with something similar or in better condition AND the security deposit will not be refunded.
A Rental Deposit of $300 or 25% of the total Facility Fee, whichever is greater, is due at the time of booking. If the Facility Fee is less than $300 then payment will be due in full at the time of confirmation. The remaining balance is to be paid in full no later than 7 days after the last performance /event. An additional invoice will not be sent. Monthly and quarterly payments may be arranged for long term or ongoing rentals on a case-by-case basis.
