This contract is for the temporary rental, occupation, and use of the selected Venue at The Crescent Academy, 1112 Broad St., Endicott, New York. The Renter desires to temporarily rent, occupy and make use of the Venue, and The Crescent Academy, hereafter referred to as the Owner, agrees to such rental, occupation, and use in consideration of the payments and covenants below.
I. VENUE ACCESS: The Renter shall have access to and use of the Venue only during the approved Rental Period for the disclosed event and expected attendance.
II. RENTAL PERIOD: The Rental Period shall comprise one or more Day(s) of Rental. During school days a Day of Rental will start no earlier than 5:00 PM. During off-school days a Day of Rental will start no earlier than 8:00 AM. The Renter and associated guests must vacate the Venue no later than 11:00 PM each Day of Rental. Renter property may be left at the Venue, if pre-coordinated and approved by the Owner, when the Rental Period spans multiple consecutive days.
III. SECURITY DEPOSIT: The Renter shall give the Owner a security deposit of $200.
IV. RENTAL COST:
All bookings require TCA acceptance, a contract fully executed by both parties, and receipt of the required rental payment plus the $200 security deposit at least 14 days before the Rental Period. No reservation or tentative hold is made until TCA confirms the executed contract and payment. Submitting a request, an electronic-check authorization, or a booking-conflict override alone does not reserve the facility. After TCA accepts the request and confirms the amount, the Renter shall submit payment through TCA's electronic-check form. A conflict override is only a request for review and does not displace an existing booking or waive the 14-day deadline.
V. CLEANING COST: The Owner shall charge the Renter $20/hour for setup, tear down, and cleaning as requested. Setup and tear-down labor varies with event size and complexity. As a planning estimate, setup for approximately 150 guests may require about 10 man-hours of labor, with a similar amount for tear-down. All labor is billed based on actual labor incurred and reconciled on the final invoice true-up. Cleaning the hall and restrooms after use will require another 1–2 hours. Actual cost may vary.
VI. ACCESS KEYS: The Owner shall provide to the Renter access keys to the Venue 1 day prior to the Rental Period. The Renter shall return all access keys to the Owner at the end of the Rental Period.
VII. PROXY RESTRICTION: Renter must be present at all times of rental and must be the primary user (or immediate family), i.e., rental and occupation cannot be proxied/subleased.
VIII. REMOVAL OF BELONGINGS: Renter shall remove all property belonging to Renter or its guests and trash from the Venue at the end of the Rental Period. The Renter is responsible for leaving all parts of the facility in the same condition as it was found.
IX. RENTAL ACCESS: Renter is responsible for ensuring that only authorized guests are admitted and leave premises before the end of the Rental Period. Renter is responsible for ensuring that guests do not access facilities that are not rented. Renter shall ensure all locked doors are locked if access is provided to locked areas.
X. USE OF PROPERTY: The Venue and all Venue equipment are the property of the Owner and should not be altered without permission. Other than cleaning, no building upgrades, equipment upkeep, maintenance, or physical repair should be performed by the Renter unless instructed to do so by the Owner and agreed to by the Renter. Only equipment brought into the Venue by the Renter is under the Renter's control for any modification, upkeep, or alteration. Likewise, equipment brought in by the Renter should not be used, modified, or altered by the Owner without advance permission by the Renter. All Venue upkeep and maintenance, including keeping the building up to code, is the responsibility of the Owner. This includes landscaping and snow removal on school days, defined as Monday through Thursday between 7:30 AM and 3:00 PM and Friday between 7:30 AM and 1:00 PM.

XII. RETURN OF SECURITY DEPOSIT: Upon Renter's completion of obligations under the rental and cleaning provisions, the Owner shall return to Renter the security deposit minus any amounts deemed necessary to clean or repair damages inflicted upon the Venue by the Renter and/or Renter's associates, guests, invitees, contractors, and all other persons authorized by the Renter. If damages exceed the security deposit, the Renter shall pay the extra amount due within 3 days of the Rental Period.
XIII. PARKING FINES: If the Renter fails to ensure all attendees of the event park in accordance with Village of Endicott laws and ordinances, the Renter shall pay all fines due to the Village and, in addition, shall pay $100/incident/day of rental as punitive damages to the Owner.
XIV. MEDIA: No news media, press interviews, media coverage, livestreams, filming for public distribution, or other media-related activities shall occur on the property without the prior written permission of the Owner. The Renter shall not represent or imply any endorsement, sponsorship, or affiliation by The Crescent Academy without advance written approval.
XV. RELIGIOUS SERVICE: Any religious service, religious gathering, worship activity, sermon, formal religious instruction, or faith-based event held at the Venue must be disclosed in advance and approved by the Owner prior to execution of this Agreement or use of the Venue.
XVI. LIABILITY: Renter will be liable for any physical damages, legal actions, and/or loss of reputation or business opportunities that Owner may incur as a consequence of the actions of Renter or any of Renter's guests while the Renter is in control of the Venue, and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Owner against any and all legal actions which may arise from Renter's use of the Venue.
