 2.Supply of Catering Services

 (a)  I will supply the Catering Services for the Function on the Date, beginning at the Start Time and finishing at the End Time. You will pay the Price at the time stated in the Menu & Quotation.

 (b) I will provide the Catering Services

(i)   with reasonable care and skill;

(ii) in accordance with the food catering industry standards for hygiene and general cleanliness concerning:

(A)   the preparation and cooking of food; and

(B)  the handling and service of food, beverages, utensils, and tableware; and

(iii)in compliance with statutory and regulatory requirements affecting the preparation, cooking, handling, and service of food.

(c)  A binding contract between you and me will come into being only when the deposit is paid.

(d) Although there may be a binding contract between us, the Date will not be binding on me until I receive your Deposit and the amount stated on the Menu & Quotation for the estimated Extras.

3. Deposit, Price, and Payment

3.1  Deposit

  You will need to pay the 50% Deposit and the amount for the estimated Extras at the time you place the order for the Catering Services.

3.2  Payment

(a)   you will need to pay the balance of the Price 7 days before the Function and supply proof of payment via email to The Still Room 1710.

(b) You will pay for the Extras (or any additional extras, if you have already made a payment at the time you made your order) when I provide you with an invoice for them.

(c)  All amounts stated shall be exclusive of any GST that may be charged by the Caterer to the Customer, and therefore, the Caterer will be entitled to add on GST.

 3.3    Calculation of price

(a) The Price is calculated, in part, on the following:

(i)         the number of adults and children who will be attending the function;

(ii)       the type of menu you have chosen;

(iii)    the day the Function is to take place; and

(iv)     the time of day when the Function will be held.

(b)   If you change any of these after you have placed your order, then I will have the right to recalculate the Price you will need to pay me.

(c)   If you do not wish to pay the new Price, then you may terminate this contract.

(d)   If you do terminate the contract in these circumstances you may have to pay for me for the reasonable costs, expenses, or other amounts which I cannot reasonably avoid because of the termination of the contract. Termination is dealt with further in clause 4 below.

      3.4 Extras

(a)    the Price does not include the Extras.

(b)   the Extras are charged in addition to the Price. Where possible, these will be estimated, and stated on the Menu & Quotation at the time you place your order. If they are estimated, you will be required to pay the estimated cost of the Extras at the time you place your order.

(c)    The cost of some Extras are based on the amount that you consume or use at the Function. In some cases, I can purchase them on a ‘sale and return’ basis (such as more expensive wines). At the end of the Function, I will normally be able to provide you with the final cost of the Extras.

3.5     Increase of price

(a)  if there is a period of more than seven days between the date when you place your order and the date when I buy the food, drinks and ingredients then I reserve the right to increase the Price to cover any increase in the cost of those items.

(b) If you do not wish to pay the new Price, then you may terminate the contract. If you do terminate the contract, you may have to pay me for any costs, expenses, or other amounts which I cannot reasonably avoid because of the termination of the contract. This is set out in clause 4 below

4.   Cancellations and changes in the number of persons attending a function 

(a) If you terminate the contract between us, I may need to charge you for certain unavoidable costs. If you wish to reduce the number of persons attending the Function, I may not be able to reduce the amount I charge you.

(b) I need to buy food and other consumables in advance. At the time you terminate (or the date you let me know you wish to reduce the number of persons attending) I may have already purchased the food and other consumables to be used at the Function. It is often not available to me to return the food to the person who sold it to me or to use it at another catering function. Food often cannot be stored, and it will deteriorate, and will often not be usable beyond a “use by” date.

(c)  In addition, I often need to make arrangements in carrying out significant planning for providing the Catering Services at the Function. I need to do this planning in advance of the date. If you terminate the contract, I may have already spent time in doing this.

(d) Where you terminate the contract at any time up to fourteen working days before the date you will only forfeit the Deposit.

(e)  If you cancel the Function less than seven days before the Date then I normally expect you to pay the whole of the Price, less any amounts that I can reasonably avoid paying for food or other consumables or Extras.

(f)   If you reduce the number of persons attending the Function less than four working days before the Date, then the whole of the price will be payable.

(g) If you notify me more than seven working days before the Date then I may be able to purchase less food and other consumables and will, where possible, reduce the Price to reflect the lesser amounts purchased.

5. My requirements.

(i)     Your own fault:
