Terms & Conditions Agreement (the fine print)

We are excited to be working with you on the upcoming event. We strive to make each event memorable.

If the Event Order or Estimate requires Attendance changes, the Customer shall pay Aphrodite Oysters for any additional shuckers and/or oysters and product required (established a minimum 7 days prior to the scheduled event); provided, however, that if the number of Attendance at the event is less than quoted, the Customer shall pay the event total on the basis of the Attendance above. Product additions, extended service time, and 15% gratuity for third-party agreements will automatically be billed to the card on file.

Payment is due in full prior to the event date. 50% Deposit is accepted on orders/event contract/estimates when more than 60 days in advance from the original scheduled event date.

Event Cancellation must be received in writing no less than 21 days prior to 8:00AM of the scheduled event date or will result in a cancellation fee equal to 50% of the original Event Total, in addition to the paid invoice.  Refunds are not permitted. 

A change of event date within 30 days of original event date will be considered with a 15% Transfer Fee and/or minimum fee of $250. Event Order Agreement has been signed and by agreed terms, total invoice is to be paid 60 days prior to the event.  After a 7 day grace period and $50 late fee will be billed to the credit card each week the payment is late.

Please note that gratuity is required and will be included in the Invoice, not on the estimate. Gratuity is distributed to all staff, prep team (those behind the scenes prior and during the event) and the event service staff. Gratuity options are 18, 20, and 22% respectively.

Credit Card Authorization is required with every order. Although Credit Card information is required, Licensee may choose another form of payment. If alternative payment is not received within 5 business days of signing this Agreement or accepting the Estimate, Licensee authorizes Aphrodite Enterprises, Inc. dba Aphrodite Oysters to charge the credit card provided to satisfy the Total Event Order, Estimate, Invoice, Product Additions, Gratuity, & Agreement Fees Due + 3.5% convenience fee.  Customer may choose the eCheck payment option and agrees to the respective +1.5% convenience fee.

There is risk associated with consuming raw oysters or any raw animal protein. If you have chronic illness of the liver, stomach, or blood, or have immune disorders, you are at greatest risk of illness from raw oysters and should eat oysters fully cooked. If unsure of your risk consult your physician. This warning releases Aphrodite Oysters unconditionally from all liability associated with illness (including death) of all event attendees. 

WAIVER OF RIGHT TO LITIGATE. The parties, including client/customer hosts and attendees, clients’ venue and vendors acknowledge that they have the right to litigate claims through a court with a judge or jury, but are hereby knowingly and voluntarily waiving that right on behalf of both themselves, including and not limited to their hosts, attendees, venue, and vendors to litigate such claims in court before a judge or jury by agreeing to this agreement and arbitration clause.
