Catering orders and any third-party rentals/purchases are not refundable. Tickets to tailgate ticketed events and parking are not refundable.

b) Tailgater reserves the right in its sole discretion to suspend or cancel its services due to inclement weather, ground conditions, or other factors that may impact the quality and safety during the provision of services. In the event that inclement weather prevents Tailgater staff from setting up the Equipment or providing any component of the Services hereunder in its reasonable but sole discretion, Tailgater may suspend or cancel the provision of the Order and credit the Customer towards a future purchase of an amount equal to the amount paid for that specific event if the entire event is canceled pursuant to this provision. If an event has begun but is subsequently suspended due to inclement weather, ground conditions, or other factors that may impact the quality and safety during the provision of the Order, Tailgater will provide Customer a pro-rata credit towards a future purchase. Catering, beverage, or third-party rental orders are never refundable. 

7. Termination.

The contract parties (i.e., the service provider and the customer) have the right to terminate their obligations if either party’s performance is prevented or made impossible, either by acts of God, health crises, legal restrictions, labor disputes, strikes, boycotts, epidemics (a.k.a. force majeure events) or by acts of third parties (such as strikes, terrorist acts or government orders). This clause allows the parties to end the contract without further liability. You will receive a full refund within five (5) days of termination.  Termination can be made in writing to the appropriate party at any time but at least 48 hours in advance of the event. Tailgater may require proof from Customer of reason for termination.  Catering, beverage, and third-party rental orders are not refundable. Unless something otherwise is specifically stated in the contract, a termination would require the service provider to return all payments made to the client.

Customer, at its expense, shall protect and defend the title and interest of Tailgater and keep the Equipment free of all claims and liens other than claims and liens created by or arising through Tailgater. The Equipment shall remain personal property regardless of its attachment to realty, and Customer agrees to take such action at its expense as may be necessary to prevent any third party from acquiring any interest in the Equipment. Tailgater may mark the Equipment as its property and Customer shall not remove or obscure any markings of Tailgater’s ownership.

b) A continuing security interest in favor of Tailgater is hereby created in the Equipment rented by Tailgater to Customer, including any replacements, additions, and improvements to the equipment or proceeds resulting from any disposition thereof and any insurance proceeds resulting from any damage or destruction thereof.

Customer shall use the Equipment within its recommended capacities and only for the purpose(s) for which it was designed. Customer represents and warrants that (1) he/she/it shall comply with all laws, regulations, and ordinances relating to the possession and use of the Equipment including, without limitation, alcohol beverage laws, health, fire, and environmental laws applicable to the Equipment and (2) he/she/it will maintain the Equipment in good repair, condition, and working order. Customer shall not make other modifications or improvements without the prior written consent of Tailgater. All parts, modifications, and improvements to the Equipment shall when installed or made, immediately become the property of Tailgater and part of the Equipment for all purposes.

12. Loss; Destruction, Theft.

Customer hereby assumes and shall bear the entire risk of loss, theft, or destruction of the Equipment from any cause whatsoever during the Service Period; and no loss, theft, or destruction of all or any item of the Equipment or the existence of insurance shall relieve Customer of its obligations under this Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding such loss, theft, or destruction. The risk of loss shall pass to Customer on tender of the Equipment to Customer until the Equipment is returned to Tailgater. Customer shall promptly notify Tailgater of any loss, theft, material damage or destruction of the Equipment and, if Tailgater determines that the Equipment is lost, stolen, destroyed, worn out or damaged beyond repair as a result of extraordinary use, neglect, abuse or any other cause whatsoever, Customer will pay to Tailgater the (i) all then accrued and outstanding Payment and other amounts due from Customer hereunder, plus (ii) all Payments with respect to such item for the balance of the Service Period, plus (iii) the then fair market value of the Equipment. Such payment shall be made in immediately available funds and upon such payment in full the Equipment shall become the property of Customer, without recourse or warranty, and all of Tailgater’s right, title and interest therein, including the Payment with respect to such Equipment, shall terminate. Customer shall pay any sales, use, and transfer taxes due on such transfer. Any insurance or condemnation proceeds actually received by Tailgater shall be credited to Customer’s obligation under this paragraph, in such order of application as Tailgater, in its sole discretion, may determine, and Tailgater shall be entitled to any surplus.

13. Inspection.

Customer shall immediately inspect the Equipment at the time of set up. If Customer notices any defects or damage in the Equipment, then Customer shall immediately notify the Tailgater representative prior to his/her departure from the Location.

14. Return of Equipment.

Customer shall surrender possession of the Equipment to a Tailgater representative at the Location upon expiration of the Service Period. Customer shall not leave the Location until a Tailgater representative has personally visited the Location and inspected the Equipment at the end of the Service Period (the “Check Out”). Due to darkness and among other things, such inspection by Tailgater does not waive Tailgater’s rights to later claim damage to the Equipment. The Equipment shall be in the same condition as when received by Customer, reasonable wear and tear resulting from normal and proper use, and free and clear of any liens. Until the Check Out, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. In the event that Customer fails to surrender possession of the Equipment at the Location upon expiration of the Service Period, Customer shall pay an hourly fee of $250 per hour until the Equipment is surrendered, provided that Customer shall have no liability for delays in returning the Equipment caused by Tailgater.

15. Default.

No remedy under this paragraph is intended to be exclusive, and each shall be cumulative but only to the extent necessary to permit Tailgater to recover amounts for which Customer is liable hereunder. No express or implied waiver by Tailgater of any breach of Customer’s obligation hereunder shall constitute a waiver of any other breach of Customer’s obligations hereunder.

16. Assignment.

This Agreement is personal to Customer and may not be sold, assigned, or transferred without the prior written consent of Tailgater.

17. Governing Law and Construction.

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the United States and the State of Illinois, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

This Agreement may only be amended, supplemented, or modified by a written instrument executed by all of the parties hereto.
