Contract:
Payment will be made by cash or cheque to Centre for the Arts. There will be a $30.00 fee for returned cheques. Payment in full is expected from renters who do not show up for their reservation OR who do not cancel within 48 hours. The Centre reserves the right to cancel bookings.

The Lessee will give a deposit of 25% of the total rental cost over and above $100.
Centre for the Arts rents its facility, including limited equipment, to the Lessee with the understanding that in no event shall Centre for the Arts or John Boylan be held liable for direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damage due to the use of this facility or equipment used by the Lessee or their associates. The Lessee hereby waives and holds harmless Centre for the Arts and John Boylan from any incidents or accidents which may occur to or by persons either renting or associated with the renting of Centre for the Arts on the dates noted above, or any additional dates added later.
Centre for the Arts assumes no responsibility for the loss, theft or damage of, or to, the Lessee’s property.
The Lessee shall not affix any posters or notices in the halls or stairways of the building.
After each period of use, the space must be left in as good a condition as when Lessee entered the premises.
The Lessee will ensure that the space is locked at the end of their use of the space.
The Lessee agrees to use the premises for no improper or questionable purposes whatsoever, and for no illegal purposes, and to permit no disorderly conduct, noise or nuisance which will have a tendency to annoy any persons occupying adjacent premises, whether this include other clients in the neighboring room or Centre for the Arts neighbours. Any fines or penalties assessed to Centre for the Arts as a result will be paid by the Lessee.
In the event of both studios at Centre for the Arts being rented to two different groups, under almost no circumstances may the Lessee, or their associates, disturb the occupants of the other space. Exceptions to this rule are: in the case of one Lessee's event being disturbed by, for example, the noise level of the other's, in which case the offended Lessee approaches the offending Lessee in a respectful manner; and the case of an emergency situation. Often the need for a lessee to get chairs, tables, etc. that may be stored in the other room, can be anticipated in advance and arranged satisfactorily with staff at the Centre for the Arts
