All of the above are non-refundable. Payment will be charged accordingly for the minimum number of plates guaranteed or actual number of plates used, whichever is higher. Any Event booked less than 15 days from the Event Date must be paid in full at the time of booking. No different payment terms apply unless otherwise agreed upon.

In the event that Food Craft takes any action (whether or not litigation is instituted) to collect unpaid amounts due to Food Craft, you agree to pay the reasonable costs of collection (including court costs and attorney’s fees).
