The following policies govern all social and corporate rentals of the War memorial Center’s facilities:

Payments & Cancellations

All rentals of the War Memorial Center facility are considered binding when:

• The Center has issued and received a signed contract from the renter along with the indicated deposit and/or payment.
• The Executive Director of the War Memorial Center has also affixed his signature to the contract. The deposit is non – refundable and due at the time the contract is signed by renter.

The deposit is $1,000.00 or full rental fee if rental is less than $1,000.00. If the contract is issued less than 90 days prior to the event, the entire rental fee (included taxes and fees) is due with the contract to secure the date.

Failure to return signed contract with required deposit by the date indicated on the contract shall nullify the contract and the date will be released.

Further, the contract shall not be binding until evidenced by the signature of the Executive Director of the War Memorial Center.

A copy of the binding contract will be sent to the renter indicating the deposit /payment received. Final payment is due 90 days prior to the event. Checks should be made payable to “War Memorial Center.” Failure to make final payment will result in your event being cancelled.

If an event is cancelled less than 90 days prior to event date, the renter is responsible for the full amount of charges including commissions and other fees. Renter will be invoiced for full amount and said amount will be due 10 days from the date of invoice.
