Payment Conditions
Sarah Boswell Catering requests that payment for your event be made as follows:

Deposit: 50% of the total amount quoted to you by us is required as a deposit. The deposit is expected after your initial quote, before we proceed further with your event coordination. This secures your booking date and allows us to commence organisation and booking of any additional services that you may require. Without a deposit we cannot guarantee availability of services originally quoted by us.

Balance: We request that the balance of the total amount quoted to you by us be paid on the event date. Any supplementary costs or credits not recognised in the confirmation will be invoiced seven days after the event as a tax invoice.

Cancellations and Postponements
If you decide to cancel or postpone your function, or think that you may need to, please contact us as soon as possible.

Cancellations made more than two weeks before the function date will have the deposit fully refunded.
Cancellations from one to two weeks before the function date will incur a cancellation fee of 50% of the deposit.
Cancellations from two to seven days before the function date will incur a cancellation fee of 100% of the deposit.
Please note: cancellations within 48 hours of the function time will incur the full quoted cost of the function.
Please note: postponements within 48 hours of the function time will incur a postponement fee of 100% of the deposit.

Method of Payment
We accept direct deposit, cheque (made out to Sarah Boswell Catering) or cash. Late payments apply when payment is not received 30 days after the due date (see payment conditions). The late fee is 15% of the outstanding balance.

Confirmation of Numbers
To ensure our standard and service, confirmation of the number of guests must be provided seven days prior to the event. We will accept an increase in numbers within three days of the event.

Event Management
If event management is requested by you, Sarah Boswell Catering will manage and accept responsibility of organising and dealing with all other subcontractors; for example hire, beverage, staff and other services, that you may require for your event. A charge of 20% of the service will apply. This fee will include the coordination of delivery and pickup for any external resources that you may require. This guarantees a high standard of service and minimises the effort involved for you in dealing with additional companies. You will be supplied with one account that includes all aspects of your event (this includes dealing with all deposits and final payments with all subcontractors).
