Terms & Conditions

These Workbox Event Terms and Conditions (“Terms and Conditions”) are incorporated by reference into and expressly made part of the Event Agreement entered into by and between the client (“Client”) and the Workbox entity identified therein (together with its affiliates, “Workbox”). Client and Workbox are referred to herein individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.” All references herein to the “Agreement” shall mean the Event Agreement, together with these Terms and Conditions.

Section 1. Fees & Payment

1. Event Space Fee; Deposit. Client agrees to pay the contracted event space fee specified in the Addendum to the Agreement (the “Event Fee”). Upon execution of the Agreement by Client, Client shall pay to Workbox a deposit equal to 50% of the Event Fee (the “Deposit”) and shall put on file through Workbox’s secure online portal either (i) a valid creditcard or (ii) ACH account information to be used for payment of the remaining Event Fee balance. Client acknowledges and agrees that the event space shall not be reserved for Client unless and until Client has signed the Event Agreement and paid the Deposit in full.
2. Balance Due. The balance of the Event Fee and any additional agreed upon service fees are due two business days prior to the scheduled event and will be automatically charged to the credit card or ACH account on file that morning. Any fees paid by credit card may be subject to additional processing fees. If any attempted charge is rejected due to insufficient funds or for any other reason, a late payment fee of five percent (5%) may be imposed. In either instance, any sum due from Client that remains unpaid shall bear interest from the date due until the date paid at the annual rate equal to the lower of eighteen percent (18%) per annum or the maximum rate permitted by law.
