4. Event Insurance (Required)
Every Event must be covered by special-event general liability insurance. No Event may begin until coverage is confirmed. Renter must initial ONE option:
| Option | Election | Renter Initials |
| A — Renter provides | Renter will obtain a policy meeting Exhibit B and deliver the certificate of insurance (COI) and additional-insured endorsement at least 10 days before the Event. | |
| B — Celebrate & Create provides | Celebrate & Create will procure a one-day event policy on Renter's behalf for a fee of $ ________, payable with the balance. |
4.1 Minimum Coverage (both options). Commercial general liability of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate, including bodily injury, property damage, and personal injury. If any alcohol is present, host liquor liability is also required. Full requirements are in Exhibit B.
4.2 Additional Insureds. Under Option A, the policy must name Celebrate & Create Co LLC, the Property Owner (His Hands Holdings LLC), and their members, managers, employees, and agents as additional insureds, on a primary and non-contributory basis, with waiver of subrogation.
4.3 Option B Terms. Under Option B, Celebrate & Create acts only as a convenience in arranging coverage. The policy is issued by a third-party insurer; its terms, exclusions, and claim decisions govern. Celebrate & Create is not an insurer or agent, makes no promise of coverage for any claim, and has no liability if a claim is denied. The fee is non-refundable once the policy is bound. Renter's release and indemnity obligations in Section 8 apply whether or not insurance responds.
4.4 Failure to Provide. If an acceptable COI is not received by the deadline, Celebrate & Create may (a) procure coverage under Option B and charge Renter, or (b) cancel the Event as a Renter cancellation under Section 7.
4.5 Vendor Insurance. Every outside vendor (caterer, bartender, rental company, decorator, entertainer) must carry its own general liability insurance of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence naming the additional insureds above, and deliver its COI 10 days before the Event.
4.6 No Coverage by Celebrate & Create. Celebrate & Create's own insurance does not cover Renter, guests, vendors, or their property. Insurance requirements do not limit Renter's liability.
5. Alcohol Policy
Alcohol is prohibited at all Events unless every condition in this Section is met. Celebrate & Create does not hold a license to sell or serve alcohol and does not sell, serve, furnish, or supply alcohol.
5.1 Licensed Vendor Required. Alcohol may be served only by a professional caterer or bartending service approved in writing by Celebrate & Create ("Alcohol Vendor"). Self-service, BYOB tables, coolers, and service by Renter, guests, or volunteers are prohibited.
5.2 Liquor Liability Insurance. The Alcohol Vendor must carry liquor liability insurance of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence naming Celebrate & Create Co LLC and the Property Owner as additional insureds. The COI and endorsement are due 10 days before the Event. No COI, no alcohol.
5.3 No Sales. No alcohol may be sold at the Event, directly or indirectly. This includes cash bars, drink tickets, donations for drinks, and admission or ticket prices that include alcohol. The Alcohol Vendor may be paid only a flat service fee, not tied to alcohol quantity or sales.
5.4 Purchase and Removal. Renter (or the Alcohol Vendor as Renter's agent, at cost) purchases all alcohol from a licensed retailer. All alcohol belongs to Renter and must leave the Premises at the end of the Rental Period. Celebrate & Create will not store alcohol.

The Alcohol Vendor must: check ID of anyone appearing under 40; serve no one under 21 or visibly intoxicated; limit service to beer and wine unless Celebrate & Create approves otherwise in writing; serve by the drink only; and stop service at least 30 minutes before the Event end time. No alcohol may leave the Premises with guests.
5.6 Renter Responsibility. Renter is solely responsible for the conduct of guests who consume alcohol, including ensuring safe transportation home. Celebrate & Create may stop alcohol service or end the Event at any time, without refund, if it believes in its sole discretion that any rule is being violated or safety is at risk.
5.7 Violations. Alcohol present without a compliant Alcohol Vendor is a material breach. Celebrate & Create may end the Event immediately and keep all fees and the full Security Deposit, in addition to any other remedy.

Prohibited: nails, tacks, staples, screws, glue, adhesive strips on painted walls, glitter, confetti, rice, birdseed, sparklers, flower petals on floors, smoke or fog machines, helium balloons released indoors, and anything hung from light fixtures, sprinklers, or ceiling tiles.

6.4 Outside Food and Vendors. Outside food, cakes, and vendors require written approval at least 14 days before the Event.

6.13 Personal Property. Celebrate & Create is not a bailee and is not responsible for loss, theft, or damage to any property of Renter, guests, or vendors, including gifts, cards, cash, and rented items, before, during, or after the Event.
6.14 Public Business Hours. If the Event overlaps business hours of neighboring tenants, Celebrate & Create may continue normal operations in non-rented areas. Renter may not exclude customers from common areas or restrooms.

6.16 Compliance with Law. Renter will comply with all applicable laws, ordinances, and fire-code rules, and all rules in Exhibit A.

7.1 Cancellation by Renter. Cancellation must be in writing (email is sufficient) and is effective when Celebrate & Create receives it. Refunds are as follows; the Security Deposit is refunded in full in each case.
| Written notice received | Refund of amounts paid (excluding booking fee) |
| 30 or more days before the Event | 100% of amounts paid beyond the booking fee |
| 14–29 days before the Event | 50% of amounts paid beyond the booking fee |
| Fewer than 14 days, or no-show | No refund |
Custom-ordered Add-Ons, decor purchased for the Event, and insurance premiums already bound are non-refundable at any time. Renter agrees these amounts are a reasonable estimate of Celebrate & Create's damages for lost bookings and are not a penalty.
7.2 Rescheduling. Renter may reschedule once, with written notice at least 30 days before the Event, to an available date within 6 months. Payments transfer to the new date. A request within 30 days is treated as a cancellation.
7.3 Force Majeure. Neither party is liable for failure to perform caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including severe weather, hurricane or tropical storm warnings, flood, fire, utility or HVAC failure, government orders, public-health emergencies, civil unrest, or damage to the building ("Force Majeure"). If Celebrate & Create cannot host the Event due to Force Majeure, Renter may choose (a) a rescheduled date within 6 months, or (b) a refund of all amounts paid. This is Renter's sole remedy. Force Majeure does not excuse Renter's payment obligations for an Event that Celebrate & Create is able to host.
7.4 Cancellation by Celebrate & Create. If Celebrate & Create cancels for a reason other than Force Majeure or Renter's breach, it will refund all amounts paid. Celebrate & Create is not liable for any other costs, including vendor deposits, travel, invitations, or other consequential damages.
7.5 Termination for Breach. Celebrate & Create may end the Event immediately, without refund, and require all persons to leave if Renter, any guest, or vendor (a) violates Section 5 or 6, (b) creates a risk to safety or property, (c) exceeds capacity, or (d) fails to provide required insurance.
