SECTION 1. FACILITY USE. Application for use of WCHFH’s facility, which includes interior and exterior properties, shall be made in writing on the Facility Use Request Form furnished by WCHFH. GUEST agrees, but not by way of limitation, to protect, indemnify and hold harmless, WCHFH, its officers, agents and employees, against any and all loss, claims or suits (including costs and attorney’s fees), for or on account of (a) injury or death of persons, sickness, disease or loss; (b) damage or destruction of property belonging either to WCHFH or others on the property arising out of GUEST’s use of the facility. (See page 2, Section 3, Guest and Parties

SECTION 2. INSURANCE. Depending on the nature of the event, WCHFH, in its sole discretion, may require its property be listed as an additional insured on the Lessee’s minimum $1,000,000 general liability insurance policy. The certificate holder information is as follows: Warren County Habitat for Humanity, 31 Belvidere Ave. Washington NJ 07882

SECTION 3. INDEMNIFICATION. WCHFH does not assume any liability or responsibility for the care, safety or preservation of any tools, machinery, equipment, materials or supplies used by GUEST and/or GUEST vendor and all risks thereof are assumed by the GUEST.

SECTION 4. USE OF BUILDING & GROUNDS. WCHFH desires to make its facility available for community use during regular business hours as well as those evening and weekend hours that generally do not extend beyond 8 p.m. Generally, after-hours use may be dependent upon WCHFH being able to provide on-site staffing, which may not be available for any given request. Additionally, WCHFH functions will generally have priority over community use.

When GUEST has received approval to use WCHFH facilities, WCHFH will make reasonable effort not to interfere with that use. Nevertheless, there are rare occasions when WCHFH events must supersede approved community use. WCHFH will make reasonable efforts to accommodate GUEST’s event or will refund the rental fee paid, if any. WCHFH Executive Director (or WCHFH Designee in case of absence) is the final decision-maker on the question of WCHFH’s superseding use.

In order to provide ample opportunity for a variety of organizations to use the facility, WCHFH may ask groups with standing meetings to adjust their scheduled date(s) to accommodate other facility use requests.

By signing this Agreement, the GUEST agrees that WCHFH’s Executive Director’s or designee decision is final and that refund of the rental fee, if any, is the only recompense available to the GUEST. GUEST also agrees and acknowledges that no event setup or activity shall be started by the GUEST until a fully executed Agreement is signed and GUEST is issued a final copy of the Agreement by WCHFH. The GUEST agrees to keep WCHFH informed as to the progress of the event(s) and to faithfully provide advance notice of any changes in the event schedule.

WCHFH meeting spaces are available for rent primarily to non-profit organizations and civic or community groups. Exceptions may be made at WCHFH’s sole discretion. WCHFH spaces will not be rented to any organization deemed to be controversial, politically partisan or in conflict with the mission of Warren County Habitat for Humanity or Habitat for Humanity International. The Executive Director (or WCHFH Designee in case of absence) is the final decision-maker on the question of an organization’s rental status.
