Caterer can set up all coffee-making equipment outside as long as there is no chance of rain and the temperature is above 40F and below 90F. Please note that all espresso machines do not work effectively in extreme temperatures and weather.

Our baristas work hard to make your event a huge success, so they will need to take a short 30 minute break if serving your guests for longer than 4 hours at a time.

4. Payment terms
Payment will be made to the Caterer as follows:

A 100% payment will be due immediately in advance of the event. Full payment can be made by credit card, bank transfer or check. Make checks payable to Creature Coffee and mail it to our closest location. Once payment has been received, Caterer services for the event will be confirmed and the date reserved.

Should the estimated number of guests increase a new Estimated Total Cost will be determined. If the estimated number of guests does change, the Client must inform the Caterer in writing, one week in advance of the Event with a Final Guest Count.

5. Responsibilities for related costs
Client is solely responsible for all costs and/or payments relating to the use of the Venue, and for obtaining any necessary permissions, authorizations, or other requirements of Caterer providing services at the Venue.

Electricity/power will be provided by the client of 1 x dedicated 120v circuit/15 amp per espresso machine. Caterer will provide all extension cables and multi sockets. Without adequate power, espresso machines and grinders can malfunction and cause damage. Espresso-based drinks cannot be provided without the correct amount of power and no refund will be issued in the event of an inadequate power supply. For standard 120V connections, we must be within 50ft of the power outlets.

6. Insurance
Caterer has or will obtain, general liability insurance relating to Caterer’s services at the Event.

7.  Indemnification
Client will indemnify Caterer for any damage, theft, or loss of Caterer’s property occurring at the event, to the extent caused by the negligence of any of Client’s guests or staff.

8. Cancellation
If the Client needs to cancel the event, Client must provide written notice to Caterer to effect cancellation.
Client understands that upon entering into this Contract, Caterer is committing time and perishable resources to this Event and thus cancellation would result in lost income and lost business opportunities in an amount hard to precisely calculate. Therefore, the following cancellation limitations will apply.

If Client requests cancellation of the Event 30 days or more before the Event Start Time/Date, Caterer shall pay back the 50% of the full payment to Client. If cancellation occurs within the 30 days in advance of the Event, no payment will be returned to the Client.

We offer free re-scheduling with a minimum of 7 days' notice before the event. Re-scheduling is dependent on Caterer having availability on the requested date.

9. Legal compliance
Caterer will work in compliance with all applicable local health department rules and regulations relating to food preparation and food service.

10. Limitation of remedies
If Caterer cannot fulfill its obligations under these terms and conditions for reasons outside of its control, Caterer may, with Client's written consent, locate and retain a replacement catering company at no additional cost to Client, or refund Client’s money in full. Caterer will not be responsible for any additional damages or compensation under these circumstances.

11. Resolution of disputes
We aim to delight all our clients and their guests. If this is not the case, please let us know so we can make it right.
