TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF HIRE

It is important when you hire or use our halls you read and understand these Conditions of Hire. They apply in all cases, whether you have formally agreed or not.

General: These terms and conditions apply to all those who book and use our halls. They are part of an agreement between the Rush Green Community Association (“RGCA”) and the hirer, who may be an individual or an organisation represented by an authorised person.

The RGCA will assume that anyone signing on behalf of an organisation is duly authorised to do so. In the event of someone using our halls without signing or specifically agreeing to the Booking Confirmation Form, then it will be deemed that they are aware of these terms and conditions, will abide by them and will ensure that those who use the Hall in conjunction with their booking act in accordance with them.

Charges, payment, invoicing and deposits: Charges for all bookings are shown clearly on the Booking Confirmation Form. Bookings are charged individually, in accordance with these terms.

If the deposit is insufficient to cover the actual cost then the Hirer may be charged an additional amount Security deposits will be repaid (subject to any deductions) within 14 days of an event

Cancellation: Once agreement to the Booking Confirmation Form has been accepted and any deposit paid, the Hall (or part of the Hall) will not be hired out to any other user at that time without the prior agreement of the hirer. If a Provisional Booking Confirmation Form has been issued but not signed or agreement otherwise signified, the “slot” may be given to someone else.

Cancellations by the hirer and cancellation charges: The RGCA will be reasonably flexible in relation to modifications, postponements and cancellations, but reserves the right to make cancellation charges in accordance with the rules specified.
