CONTRACTS:   All dates for rental are considered to be tentative until a Department of Cultural Facilities, Arts and Entertainment contract has been fully executed and a deposit check is received.

It must be signed and returned (an executed copy will be returned for the Lessee’s files), with deposit and certificate of insurance within 10 days of the mailing date.

INSURANCE:  The Lessee hereby waives any claim against and promised to defend, indemnify, save and hold harmless, The City of Norfolk, its Officers, Employees, Agents and Representatives from and against any liability or loss, of any nature whatsoever, arising out of or relating to Lessee in connection with the lease of facilities under this Agreement; including without limiting the generality of any of the foregoing, any act of omission of Lessee, its agents, servants, employees, patrons or invitees.

Lessee shall, at all times during the term of this Agreement, carry comprehensive public liability insurance with a company authorized to do business in the Commonwealth of Virginia, in the amount of not less than:

One Million and 00/100($1,000,000.00) Dollars for any one occurrence, and property damage insurance in the amount of not less than Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100 ($500,000.00) Dollars.

Written evidence of such insurance must be furnished by delivering a policy endorsement or a certificate of insurance to the Department of Cultural Facilities, not less than thirty (30) days prior to the event.

Such policy or certificate shall clearly state and show that said liability and property damage insurance is primary over any other existing coverage, and that The City of Norfolk, its Officers, Employees, Agents and Representatives are all additional named insured under said liability and property damage insurance.

Such policy shall contain a rider requiring thirty (30) days written notice to the Department of Cultural Facilities prior to cancellation or material alteration of the policy for any reason whatsoever. In the event written evidence of said insurance is not furnished pursuant to the requirements set forth above, this shall operate as a cancellation by Lessee.

CANCELLATION: You may cancel at anytime, however, the deposit is non-refundable and the remaining balance is due one week prior to the event and is also non-refundable once paid.

PARKING:   A common mistake made by clients is the assumption that parking is part of the building’s rental.  This is not the case at any city venue.  Parking is handled by the Department of Parking. Your guests will be charged $4 per car.  You have a couple options of buying a determined number of spaces outright, or having an attendant on hand that will get an actual count for which you will be charged. These options can be discussed with Linda Davis of Parking. (757- 664-6229)
