Any changes to these event details must be made direct to Kineo Coffee with at least 7 days notice before the event start date and may require additional payment.

3. Coordination with venue
Caterer will need to have access to the Venue no later than 1 hour in advance of the Start Time for the Event, and 1 hour after the End Time for clean up and load out. Client will make all necessary arrangements, at Client’s expense, to get this access arranged.
4. Inclement Weather
Client acknowledges that Kineo Coffee’s equipment requires safe and suitable operating conditions. Client agrees to provide timely and accurate information regarding any weather conditions or forecasts that may be detrimental to the proper operation of the equipment, including but not limited to rain, excessive wind, extreme temperatures, or other hazardous conditions.
Kineo Coffee cannot operate in any circumstances where equipment or staff are exposed to rain or unsheltered outdoor conditions, as this poses safety risks and potential equipment damage. Adequate shelter from rain is required at all times during setup, service, and breakdown.
If the event is held outdoors, Client is responsible for ensuring appropriate coverage is provided. Kineo Coffee may provide a tent or canopy if properly notified in advance and if site conditions safely allow for its use. Failure to notify Kineo Coffee of potential weather concerns or shelter requirements may result in an inability to provide service.
In the event that service cannot be performed due to undisclosed or unsafe weather conditions, including lack of adequate shelter, Kineo Coffee shall not be held liable for failure to perform services, and any associated fees or deposits shall remain non-refundable.
5. Payment terms
Payment will be made to the Caterer as follows: A 20% deposit will be due immediately in advance of the event. Payment can be made by credit card, ACH, or check. Make checks payable to Kineo Coffee LLC and mail to 304 Temple Dr, Sanford, FL 32771. Once payment has been received, Caterer services for the event will be confirmed. Should the estimated number of guests increase a new Estimated Total Cost will be determined. If the estimated number of guests does change, the Client must inform the Caterer in writing, one week in advance of the Event with a Final Guest Count.
6. Responsibilities for related costs
Client is solely responsible for all costs and/or deposits relating to the use of the Venue, and for obtaining any necessary permissions, authorizations, or other requirements of Caterer providing services at the Venue. Electricity/power will be provided by the client of 1 x dedicated 120v circuit/15 amp per espresso machine. Caterer will provide all extension cables and multi sockets. Without adequate power, espresso machines and grinders can malfunction and cause damage. Espresso-based drinks cannot be provided without the correct amount of power and no refund will be issued in the event of an inadequate power supply. For standard 120V connections, we must be within 25ft of the power outlets.
7. Insurance
Caterer has or will obtain, general liability insurance relating to Caterer’s services at the Event.
8. Indemnification
Each party mutually agrees to defend, indemnify and hold each other harmless from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, expenses, injuries, costs or obligations of any kind arising directly from their respective negligent and/or gross negligent acts that may occur during the course of performing this Agreement.
9. Cancellation
If the Client needs to cancel the event, Client must provide written notice to Caterer to effect cancellation. Client understands that upon entering into this Contract, Caterer is committing time and perishable resources to this Event and thus cancellation would result in lost income and lost business opportunities in an amount hard to precisely calculate. Therefore, the following cancellation limitations will apply. For events canceled 15+ days prior to service, a full refund will be issued. For events canceled 8-14 days prior to service, we will refund 50% of the deposit amount. For events canceled 1-7 days prior to service, unfortunately no refund will be given. This bums us out, but for events canceled on late notice like this, we’ve already staffed your event, ordered all your product, and deployed our admin team to finalize all logistics and important details. That being said, this amount can be credited toward a future event! *Please note, if we’ve already ordered items like custom branding that is non-returnable and non-refundable for us, you will still be charged for those items.
9.1 Rescheduling
Under most circumstances, we’re happy to offer flexible rescheduling. However, due to the deadlines we have with the vendors who provide us with coffee, pastries, custom branding, and other products, we have to maintain the following limits on rescheduling: For single day events, we will reschedule with as little as 72 hours notice. Unfortunately, we aren’t able to reschedule single day events with less than 72 hours notice and you will be charged for the full event service. For multi-day events, we will reschedule with as little as 7 day notice. Unfortunately, we aren’t able to reschedule multi-day events with less than 7 days notice and you will be charged for the full event service. Re-scheduling is dependent on Caterer having availability on the requested date.
9.2 Force Majeure: If either party is unable to perform its obligations under the terms of this Agreement because of acts of God (including, but not limited to, pandemic, epidemic, quarantine), war, government regulation, strikes, curtailment of transportation facilities, or other emergency making it inadvisable, illegal, or impossible to perform the scheduled event, such party’s contractual obligations shall be excused and the party will not be liable for damages resulting from such failure to perform. The party giving notice of a force majeure event shall do so in writing by electronic communication and all deposits will be returned to the party exercising force majeure within thirty (30) days of such notice.
10. Limitation of remedies
If Caterer cannot fulfill its obligations under these terms and conditions for reasons outside of its control, Caterer may, with Client’s written consent, locate and retain a replacement catering company at no additional cost to Client, or refund Client’s money in full. Caterer will not be responsible for any additional damages or compensation under these circumstances.
11. Resolution of disputes We aim to delight all our clients and their guests. If this is not the case, please let us know so we can make it right.
The Parties agree to not post any negative information about the other arising out of the Event on any online forum or website without providing advance written notice of the intended content thereof, and providing the other party with an opportunity to resolve any issues between the parties amicably.
12. Jurisdiction and Venue These terms and conditions will be interpreted according to the laws of the state and county in which the catering service is taking place.
