Booking Agreement

Terms & Conditions

Thank you for choosing Cap & Co. We're excited to be part of your celebration. These Terms & Conditions and Booking Agreement (“Agreement”) outline the services, payment requirements, responsibilities, cancellations, and other terms that apply to your booking.

By signing this Agreement, accepting these terms electronically, submitting a deposit, or otherwise confirming your booking with Cap & Co., you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to these terms.

1. Client & Event Details

The client and event details that form part of this Agreement are those provided in your inquiry and confirmed on your quote, including: client name, email, phone, event type, event date, event location, estimated guest count, service package and service hours.

2. Services

Cap & Co. provides mobile bartending and event beverage services. Depending on the selected package and written quote, services may include: professional bartending service; bar setup and breakdown; bar tools and equipment; beverage and cocktail menu planning; signature cocktails and mocktails; garnish preparation; non-alcoholic mixers and beverage ingredients as specified; cups, napkins, straws, and related supplies as specified; personalized drink menus or signage where included; and general cleanup of the bar area following service.

The specific services included in the booking are those listed in the applicable package, quote, invoice, or other written agreement. Any additional services, upgrades, extended hours, staffing, supplies, or changes may result in additional fees and must be approved in writing.

3. Alcohol

Cap & Co. does not currently supply or sell alcoholic beverages.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing and permitted by applicable law, the Client or event host is responsible for purchasing and providing all alcoholic beverages.

The Client is responsible for ensuring that all alcohol is obtained, possessed, transported, and served in accordance with applicable laws, regulations, permits, venue requirements, and liquor-service requirements.

Cap & Co. reserves the right to refuse service of any beverage or to any person where required by law, venue policy, safety concerns, or responsible-service practices.

Cap & Co. does not permit or encourage service to individuals who appear intoxicated or who are not legally permitted to consume alcohol.

4. Non-Alcoholic Beverages

Mocktails and other non-alcoholic beverage options may be provided where included in the selected package or written quote.

Specific ingredients, quantities, and beverage selections will be based on the applicable quote or event plan.

The Client must advise Cap & Co. of any known allergies, dietary restrictions, or ingredient concerns before the event. Cap & Co. will make reasonable efforts to accommodate disclosed requirements but cannot guarantee an allergen-free environment or prevent cross-contact.

5. Booking and Date Reservation

An inquiry, proposal, or quote does not reserve or guarantee the Client's event date.

The event date will only be considered booked and reserved once: the Client has accepted the applicable quote and booking terms; the required deposit has been successfully received; and Cap & Co. has provided written confirmation of the booking.

Until all required steps are completed, Cap & Co. may offer the date to another client or release the date without liability.

6. Deposit and Payment

A deposit equal to 30% of the total booking price is required to secure the event date.

The 30% deposit is non-refundable, subject to any rights or remedies that cannot legally be excluded.

The remaining 70% balance is due 14 days before the event date unless otherwise agreed in writing.

The deposit will be applied toward the total booking price.

If the deposit is not received, Cap & Co. is not obligated to hold the event date.

If the remaining balance is not received by the due date, Cap & Co. may treat the booking as cancelled, subject to applicable law and the terms of this Agreement.

Additional services, upgrades, travel charges, staffing fees, guest-count changes, extended service hours, or other approved expenses may be added to the Client's balance.

Applicable taxes (13% HST) are added to all amounts payable.

The remaining balance will not be automatically charged. The Client must actively authorize and submit payment through the payment method provided by Cap & Co.

7. Cancellation by the Client

All cancellations must be submitted in writing.

If the Client cancels more than 30 days before the event date, the deposit remains non-refundable. Any remaining balance paid toward services not provided may be refunded, subject to applicable law and any approved deductions or expenses.

If the Client cancels 30 days or less before the event date, the deposit remains non-refundable and the remaining balance remains payable in accordance with the payment terms, subject to applicable law.

If the Client cancels within 14 days of the event date, the final balance is due at that stage, and payments made are non-refundable, subject to any legal rights that cannot be excluded.

Cancellations made on the event date, event-day cancellations, no-shows, or cancellations resulting from the Client's failure to provide access or required event conditions are non-refundable.

8. Rescheduling

Cap & Co. will make reasonable efforts to accommodate a request to reschedule an event.

A rescheduling request may be considered if: the request is made at least 30 days before the original event date; the requested new date is available; and the new date is within a reasonable period agreed upon by both parties.

If the requested date is unavailable, the Client may select another available date or cancel under the cancellation terms of this Agreement.

A rescheduled event may be subject to updated pricing if the package, guest count, location, service hours, staffing requirements, travel requirements, or other event details change.

Travel and additional fees will be communicated before booking or before the expense is incurred whenever reasonably possible.

16. Weather and Unforeseen Circumstances

Cap & Co. will make reasonable efforts to provide the agreed services.

If circumstances outside Cap & Co.'s reasonable control make the event unsafe, unlawful, or impossible to service, Cap & Co. will communicate with the Client and make reasonable efforts to identify an alternative solution or reschedule the event.

Any resolution will be determined in accordance with this Agreement and applicable law.

17. Cancellation by Cap & Co.
