C. The parties have agreed to the terms and conditions of this Contract.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

​

1. Rental Schedule: The Renter acknowledges and agrees that a Rental Schedule is an essential part of this Contract. The Rental Schedule is a document that shall specify the exact dates and times that the Renter will be using the Venue, as well as due dates for payments and deliverables. The Rental Schedule shall also list additional items if required or desired for the Renter's event, including, but not limited to equipment, systems, materials, services and/or personnel. If the Renter is using the Venue for multiple events, then multiple Rental Schedules may be created. Collectively, any and all such documents shall be hereinafter referred to as “Rental Schedule” and are hereby incorporated and made part of this Contract. The dates and times listed in the Rental Schedule shall be hereinafter referred to as the “Rental Period”. The Renter agrees that Starbright will deliver the Rental Schedule to the Renter electronically. The Renter agrees that the event cannot proceed until the Rental Schedule has been approved in writing by the Renter. The Rental Schedule for a given event may be revised only by mutual written consent of Starbright and the Renter.
    

2. Starbright shall provide the Venue, equipment and labor for the Renter’s event in accordance with the Rental Schedule.
    

3. Renter agrees to pay Starbright all fees for the Venue rental, equipment, systems, materials, services and/or personnel in accordance with the Rental Schedule and this Contract.
    

4. Renter shall have access to the Venue, equipment and personnel solely during the Rental Period and shall use the Venue, equipment and personnel solely for the purpose of conducting the events listed in the Rental Schedule, and for no other purpose.
    

5. Renter is responsible for the enforcement of the terms, rules, and policies of this Contract, and for actions of all persons associated with Renter’s use of the Venue, including Renter’s officers, directors, agents, employees, volunteers, performers, presenters, crew members, audience members, and event participants.
    

6. Renter shall pay Starbright a deposit equal to $1,000 or 20% of the total listed on the Rental Schedule, whichever is greater (“Deposit”). The Deposit does not count toward the total fees due. The dates listed in the Rental Schedule are only reserved once the Deposit transaction clears. Starbright shall have no obligation to hold the dates listed in the Rental Schedule reserved for the Renter until such a time that the Deposit transaction clears. Starbright may apply this Deposit to cover rental time overages, excessive cleaning costs, damages, or any other unexpected fees incurred, but not otherwise paid by the Renter. If not used, the Deposit, or remainder thereof, will be refunded to Renter within 30 calendar days after the end of the Rental Period. If the rental does not occur for any reason, then the Deposit will not be refunded.
    

7. If a Deposit refund check is issued, it shall be made payable to the Renter and can be mailed to the Renter upon request. Starbright will not issue or mail a Deposit refund check to anybody other than the Renter.
    

8. If the Renter requests or makes use of any labor, services and equipment beyond those explicitly listed on the Rental Schedule, then Renter shall be responsible for paying any additional charges for such labor, services and equipment. It is incumbent upon the Renter to obtain the rates for such labor, services, and equipment from Starbright. Lack of knowledge or understanding of the rates does not absolve the Renter from the obligation to pay any costs incurred. Renter agrees to pay all charges no later than 30 calendar days after the end of the Rental Period.
    

9. Starbright makes no warranties, comments, or judgments regarding whether the Venue, Venue’s facilities and equipment, Starbright’s employees, Starbright’s contractors, any additional equipment brought in by Starbright, or any services and equipment provided by third parties, will be suitable for, or fulfill the artistic requirements of, or match the design direction, or fulfill the technical requirements of the Renter. Starbright assumes no responsibility for, and makes no guarantees regarding meeting or fulfilling, in whole or in part, the Renter’s design, business, production, technical or artistic goals.
    

10. Renter shall not have access to, enter, or use any areas of the building not explicitly included in this Contract. Renter shall not have access to classrooms, hallways leading to classrooms, or areas occupied by Starbright School students. Renter, Renter’s officers, directors, agents, employees, volunteers, performers, presenters, crew members, audience members, and event participants shall not interfere with any Starbright School operations and shall not have any contact with students attending Starbright School classes.
     

11. Renter shall notify Starbright in writing of any cancellations, additions, changes of dates, times, services, labor, equipment, or types of use, at least 60 days in advance of the date affected by the change. In the event the Renter cancels any date, time, service, labor or equipment listed in the Rental Schedule without providing Starbright with a written notice at least 60 calendar days prior to said date, Renter agrees to pay Starbright all fees for said date, time, service, labor and equipment as specified in the Rental Schedule.
     

12. On each day of the Rental Period, the “Actual End Time” is defined as the moment when the final individual affiliated with the Renter's event (including any of the Renter’s staff, volunteers, crew members, performers, audience members, and event participants, but excluding any Starbright staff) exits the Venue. It is incumbent upon the Renter to inform Starbright's Venue Manager when this last individual is departing the Venue, enabling the Venue Manager to lock the Venue.
     

13. If the Actual End Time is later than the end time listed on the Rental Schedule for any given day, then all hourly charges listed on the Rental Schedule for the given day (including, but not limited to, the charges for the venue, sound system, and lighting system) shall continue to accrue at the hourly rates listed on the Rental Schedule until the Actual End Time. All labor charges listed on the Rental Schedule for any given day shall also continue to accrue based on the labor rates listed on the Rental Schedule until the Actual End Time, unless an alternate labor schedule is agreed upon in advance by mutual written agreement between Starbright and the Renter. All hourly charges shall be calculated in whole hours only. Any portion of an hour will be rounded up to the next whole hour.
     

14. Labor charges are subject to overtime rates, double time rates, short turnaround rates, night call rates, and meal penalties. For hourly labor, overtime rate shall be one and one-half times the regular hourly rate of pay for all hours worked over eight hours in any workday and over 40 hours in the workweek. For day-rate labor, overtime rate shall be one and one-half times the one-tenth of the day rate for all hours worked over eight hours in any workday and over 40 hours in the workweek. For hourly labor, double time rate shall be double the regular hourly rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of 12 hours in any workday and for all hours worked in excess of eight on the seventh consecutive day of work in a workweek. For day-rate labor, double time rate shall be double the one-tenth of the day rate for all hours worked over 12 hours in any workday and for all hours worked in excess of eight on the seventh consecutive day of work in a workweek. Double time rate shall also apply for all hours worked between midnight and 6:00am. If a ten-hour rest period between workdays is not provided, then Short Turnaround rate shall be twice the prevailing hourly rate and it shall remain in effect until a ten-hour rest period between workdays is provided.
     

15. The Renter shall allow and accommodate meal breaks for Starbright personnel within the daily schedule. Meal breaks can be scheduled simultaneously for all personnel or at separate times. Each individual must be provided with meal breaks that are no more than 5 hours apart during the workday. If the Renter does not provide a hot meal, the meal break must be at least 60 minutes. Alternatively, if the Renter, at their expense, provides a hot meal for the Starbright personnel, the meal break may be reduced to 30 minutes. Failure to provide the specified meal breaks for any given individual will result in an hourly Meal Penalty, which shall be charged at the hourly rate of pay. This penalty will continue to be charged for every hour until either a one-hour meal break is provided, or a hot meal and a half-hour meal break are provided.
     

16. It is incumbent upon the Renter to obtain the rules that govern labor charges from Starbright. Lack of knowledge or understanding of the rules that govern labor charges does not absolve the Renter from the obligation to pay any costs incurred.
     

17. Rental Period time shall not be adjusted, refunded or otherwise credited in the event of the Renter’s late arrival to the Venue or early departure from the Venue. The fees for the Venue, services, labor and equipment listed on the Rental Schedule or requested in writing by the Renter are not adjusted, refunded or otherwise credited in the event the Renter does not make use of, in whole or in part, of the Venue, services, labor and equipment for any reason whatsoever.
     

18. Starbright shall provide a Venue Manager. The Venue Manager is only responsible for unlocking doors at the start of the Rental Period, answering the Renter’s questions related to the Venue, serving as Starbright’s point of contact for the Renter during the Rental Period, verifying that the Renter is in compliance with the terms of this Contract, and representing Starbright’s interests during the Rental Period. If Starbright is providing additional personnel, then the Venue Manager will supervise said personnel. The Venue Manager has no obligation to perform any labor for the Renter or to serve in any crew position. As a courtesy only, and not as a matter of contractual obligation, the Venue Manager may perform some simple technical tasks such as turning on a basic stage wash or turning on a microphone. However, the presence of a Venue Manager does not eliminate the need for technicians or crew members, including, but not limited to, a Sound Engineer and a Light Board Operator. The Renter acknowledges that Starbright has advised the Renter that a minimum of two technicians provided by Starbright are needed to run an event. If the Renter declines Starbright’s offer to provide two technicians, then the Renter assumes complete responsibility for issues resulting from the event being short staffed.
     

19. The Renter may request Starbright to provide additional personnel. Any and all such requests must be made in writing and must be received by Starbright no less than 30 calendar days prior to the start of the Rental Period. Should the Renter fail to request personnel from Starbright by the agreed-upon due date, Starbright shall not be bound to fulfill such belated requests. Starbright is responsible for providing only the personnel explicitly listed in the Rental Schedule. The Renter is responsible for providing any other personnel not explicitly listed in the Rental Schedule.
     

20. Renter shall provide to Starbright, in writing, the event’s logistical requirements, technical requirements, and equipment requirements, no later than 30 calendar days prior to the start of the Rental Period. If the Renter has a Technical Rider, or the Renter’s performers or presenters have provided Renter with a Technical Rider, or other description of their needs, then the Renter shall provide a copy of said Technical Rider to Starbright no later than 30 calendar days prior to the start of the Rental Period. Starbright does not guarantee that all logistical or technical requirements can be met. Starbright shall discuss with Renter all logistical and technical needs and upon Renter’s request provide an estimate of the costs associated with meeting said requirements. Should the Renter fail to provide such requirements by the agreed-upon due date, Starbright shall not be bound to meet such belated requirements.
     

21. "Pre-Production" shall be defined as any work performed by Starbright prior to the start of the Rental Period or during the Rental Period but outside of the hours included in the Rental Schedule. This work encompasses a wide range of activities, including but not limited to on-site visits, in-person or online meetings, phone calls, electronic communications, reviewing or responding to documents, producing or revising documents, producing or revising drawings or images, reviewing or testing media files, reviewing or testing production elements, obtaining requested equipment, finding and booking labor, event planning, and other similar administrative, design, planning or technical preparation tasks required for the Renter’s event. Pre-production work may be carried out by the Technical Director, Venue Manager, or any other designated Starbright staff. Each rental contract with Starbright includes complimentary Pre-Production time as follows: 1 hour for each 1 to 3 consecutive rental days, 2 hours for each 4 to 6 consecutive rental days, or 3 hours for each 7 or more consecutive rental days. If the Pre-Production time required exceeds the complimentary hours provided, Starbright shall charge the Renter for the excess Pre-Production time at a rate of $250 per hour. Starbright retains the discretion to waive the fee for Pre-Production time, either in whole or in part, for certain clients or events. Such decisions shall be made solely at the discretion of Starbright and will not create any obligation for future events or clients.
     

22. Starbright understands that flexibility may be required during the event planning process, and as a courtesy, the first three (3) revisions to the Rental Schedule are accommodated without extra cost. However, changes to the Rental Schedule requested by the Renter beyond three (3) revisions may incur additional charges, which shall be determined at the sole discretion of Starbright. These charges are intended to compensate Starbright for the coordination and administrative work required as a result of the requested changes. Prior to implementation, Starbright shall communicate any potential additional charges to the Renter in writing.
     

23. Renter shall deliver to Starbright all media which the Renter desires to be played, displayed, or otherwise used during the Renter’s event, including, but not limited to audio, video, images, slide shows, speaker support presentations, light cues, show control, or other computer files, by the due date listed in the Rental Schedule. If the Renter fails to deliver media by the agreed-upon due date, Starbright shall not be obliged to incorporate such delayed media into the event. Renter shall deliver all media to Starbright via cloud-based file sharing service (for example, Google Drive or Dropbox), on a flash drive, or on an external hard drive. If the total combined size of all files to be delivered exceeds 1 GB, then Renter shall deliver media on an external flash drive or hard drive. External drives must be compatible with the Windows operating system and must support USB 3.0 connection. Starbright shall not accept computer files delivered on any media other than specified above. Starbright shall not accept links or URLs to audio or video streamed by YouTube, YouTube Music, Spotify, or other similar streaming services or websites.

(b) Binding Arbitration: To the extent permitted by law, any legal and actionable controversy or claim arising under or relating to this Contract or its breach, including any dispute relating to the determination of the scope and applicability of this arbitration agreement, shall be settled solely by final and binding arbitration pursuant to the FAA before a single neutral arbitrator chosen from a JAMS panel of arbitrators in Santa Clara County, California in accordance with the JAMS comprehensive arbitration rules & procedures then in effect which can be accessed at www.jamsadr.com/rules-clauses. STARBRIGHT AND RENTER (“Parties”) HEREBY KNOWINGLY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT THEY MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY OR COURT OF SUCH CLAIMS OR DISPUTES. The Parties agree that this waiver of any right they may otherwise have to trial by jury or court of such claims or disputes, applies to and waives any right to participate as a representative or member of any class of claimants. The initiation, existence, and outcome of any arbitration, including, without limitation, any material filed with the arbitrator, the contents of all depositions or testimony, all documents produced during the course of the arbitration, any written decision, and any remedy imposed or damages awarded by the arbitrator, shall remain confidential. This provision applies during the term of this Contract and survives after the termination of this Contract.

Renter is not responsible for any expenses unique to arbitration. However, if any party prevails on a statutory claim that permits the prevailing party to recover its attorneys’ fees and costs, the arbitrator may award reasonable fees and costs to the prevailing party as provided by law. If any aspect of this arbitration agreement is found by an arbitrator or a court to be incomplete or unlawful, that determination will not render any other portion of the arbitration agreement invalid or unenforceable, and the balance of the arbitration agreement shall remain in full force and effect. In addition, the Parties authorize the arbitrator or court to add to or revise (“blue pencil”) the language of this arbitration agreement in order to make the provision complete and lawful, so as to effectuate to the maximum extent possible the Parties’ mutual intent to have all disputes subject to this provision be resolved solely by final and binding arbitration.

This Contract constitutes the entire agreement of the parties hereto and supersedes all oral and written agreements and understandings made or entered into by the parties hereto prior to the date hereof.  No amendment, change or modification of this Contract shall be valid unless it is made in writing and signed by both parties hereto, and any waiver of a failure to perform or breach shall not operate to waive any subsequent failure to perform or breach.
