Terms and Conditions
Payment
A deposit of 25% of the total service cost is required at the time of booking to secure your reservation.
The remaining 75% must be paid no later than 14 days before your event. Failure to complete payment by this time may result in the cancellation of your booking.
Refundable Damage Deposit
A refundable $50 damage deposit will be collected at the time of booking. This deposit will be refunded within 7 business days after the event, provided the grazing cart and all associated equipment are returned in their original condition. Deductions may be made for any damages or missing items.
Cancellations & Refunds
Deposits will be fully refunded if the booking is canceled more than 60 days before your event.
Deposits are non-refundable for cancellations made within 60 days of your event.
Full payment is non-refundable for cancellations within 7 days of the event.
No refunds will be provided if your selected food items are unavailable on the day of the event due to unforeseen circumstances, as outlined in the "Products" section below.
Damages
The client is responsible for the grazing cart and all associated equipment during the rental period for the DIY Graze service. Any damages to or loss of items (including the cart, serving supplies, or decorations) will be assessed, and costs will be deducted from the refundable damage deposit.
Products
For the Candy Cart and Charcuterie Cart services, you will select 12 food options from our offerings.
We will make every effort to provide the foods you have chosen. However, if certain items are unavailable due to being out of stock or out of season, we will substitute them with similar products. If no suitable substitute is available, you will be informed and given the option to select from the remaining available products.
We are committed to following all food safety regulations and standards. However, we cannot be held liable for foodborne illnesses resulting from mishandling or improper storage of the food after it has been served.
Any leftover food from the Charcuterie or Candy Cart services can be left with the client after the 2-hour service period. The client is responsible for providing containers to store the food. We are not responsible for the condition of the food once it has been handed over, including if it is kept out of refrigeration.
Clients must inform us of any allergies or dietary restrictions at the time of booking. While we take great care to prevent cross-contamination, we cannot guarantee an allergen-free environment.
Event Timing
Exclusive use of the grazing cart is limited to 2 hours. Additional time can be arranged prior to the event for an extra fee.
Our team will arrive 45 minutes before the 2-hour service period to set up and will require 45 minutes after the service period for teardown. Please ensure the venue is accessible during these times.
Delays caused by the client or venue may incur additional charges.
Liability
DIY Graze clients assume full responsibility for the handling, storage, and serving of their own food items.
Venue Requirements
Clients must ensure that the venue is accessible for delivery and setup. This includes ensuring suitable parking and access to the event location.
The client is responsible for confirming that external food providers are allowed at the venue. If we arrive at the venue and are unable to set up due to venue restrictions, the full payment will still be charged.
If the venue imposes restrictions or additional fees, the client is responsible for addressing these with the venue directly.
Clients are responsible for obtaining any necessary permits or approvals required by the venue or local authorities for the setup and operation of our grazing carts.
Weather and Outdoor Events
For outdoor events, we provide an umbrella to offer protection from the sun. However, in the event of rain, the grazing cart must be placed under appropriate shelter to ensure its protection and functionality. If suitable shelter is not available, we reserve the right to refuse setup.
Photography and Media Release
We reserve the right to take photos of the grazing cart setup for promotional purposes. These photos will not include guests unless explicitly discussed and agreed upon prior to the event. If you do not consent to photography, please notify us in writing before the event.
Health and Safety
All food is prepared and served in compliance with local food safety regulations. However, once leftover food is handed over to the client, we are not responsible for its storage, condition, or safety. It is the client's responsibility to ensure proper storage and handling of the food.
Changes to Bookings
Any changes to your booking (e.g., time, location, or food selection) must be requested at least 14 days before the event and are subject to availability.
Significant changes may incur additional fees.
By booking with us, you agree to these terms and conditions. For any questions or clarifications, please contact us directly.
