Cancellations
A cancellation policy is necessary to ensure efficient use of the PEC. Late cancellations and “no-shows” prevent others from using the PEC. A renter’s initial deposit/payment will be held and be refundedable for seven (7) days. If the initial deposit/payment is made in cash, any refund will be issued by check. After that seven (7) day period, the intial deposit/payment will become non-refundable.
Cleaning and Damage Deposits
A refundable cleaning damage deposit will be required for the use of the PEC and will be collected from the renter’s contact person. The Township may apply all or part of such deposit to the cost of damage or excessive cleaning caused by renter’s failure to follow PEC rules. Any unapplied deposit shall be returned within thirty (30) days after the event. The amount of the cleaning and damage depost is $300 and is due at the time of key pick-up, unless alcohol will be served at the event, in which case the amount will be $500. Damages or cleaning costs that exceed the cleaning and damages deposit will be the responsibility of the renter, as well as any attorney’s fees incurred in collection.
Payments
Payment is to be made as follows: 50% at the time of booking and execution of the rental agreement, 50% no later than thirty (30) days in advance of the event, and damage deposit at key pick-up. Failure to make the final 50% payment at least thirty (30) days prior to the event may result in the cancellation of your reservation. Non-Ohio Township Resident/Business subject to an additional $200 fee.
