BOND REFUND
If damages occur to the venue or its contents as a result of your party, the value of damages will be deducted from your bond. If damages exceed the value of the bond, you as the organiser agree by signing and submitting this form to pay the additional sum required to fix or replace all damages.
As the organiser please ensure your guests are aware of our house rules, and if you identify that any guests are becoming unruly, overly drunk, violent or malicious, you must make them leave the premises immediately before any damages are caused.
HOUSE RULES FOR GUESTS
* Respect the venue and the neighbours.
* No urinating on any building walls or on our carpark. Guests can use the toilet. There is no need to piss on a wall. An excess cleaning fee of $50 will be charged if urination stains are found.
* No fighting, playfighting, or throwing cans or food etc.
* No Smoking indoors at all (out front is ok, please dispose of butts into a bin). Evidence of smoking within the venue will incur a charge of $150 to be deducted from the security bond.
In order to prevent likely damage, we reserve the right to stop the party on the night and evict all guests if we see these house rules being disrespected.
Our management will not be in attendance at the party, but reserves the right to monitor by camera surveillance or inspect the party. If a guest tampers with a security camera we reserve the right to shut down the party.
Our business accepts no liability for accident or injury to participants of your party. We provide a dustpan and broom so if there is broken glass you can tidy it up to keep your guests safe through the night.
Please note that other studios within Black Dog may be in use at some of the time of your party, by other tenants, eg bands doing rehearsal. Generally they're gone by sundown on Saturday night, but just "hi" if you bump into our neighbours.
DROPPING OFF, DECORATING, SETTING UP, COLLECTING GEAR
We don't charge for bump in time, so you can arrange access to the venue earlier on the date of your party or possibly the day before, to set up, drop off drinks, hang decorations etc, at no additional cost. Usually one of our crew can assist with moving tables, chairs, and other furniture to where you prefer it. You can also come back the next day to find lost property and pick up leftover drinks. If you have installed large bulky items like home made party games or decorative displays please do not leave these behind for us to dispose of or we will have to charge a rubbish tip disposal fee of $200.
ACCESSING THE VENUE AND LOCKING UP
You will have self access to the venue by a coded padlock. Upon leaving the booker is responsible for turning off lights and locking up using the padlock. We require you to please send a photo of the locked padlock when leaving so we can rest easy.
If you have an emergency on the night please CALL 0407 598 667 or 0419 633 381 or 0487 111 131 until you reach one of us.
LATE LEAVING
If guests remain in the venue past the designated hire time it may incur an additional hourly hire cost of $100ph, charged pro rata for part hours (eg $50 for 30 mins) and deducted from the security bond. Please give your guests ample warning about the venue closing time. You can also elect to extend your hire on the night with additional payment for such via bond deduction.
