          Event Agreement 


(Event=Party/Outing
Attraction=Ponies/Horses) 


A.  Deposit: A fifty (50%) percent deposit is required to secure pony/horses. Animals shall not be considered reserved until the event agreement is signed and the deposit is received. The remaining balance is due upon the delivery of the equipment at the event site. Should It's a Pony Party or anyone acting on their behalf, be required to incur attorney’s fees and costs to enforce this agreement, renter agrees to indemnify and hold them harmless for all such costs and fees. .
B.  Refund Policy: Postponement.  If inclement weather, rain or high winds are forecasted for the time that your event is scheduled, then client has the right to postpone the event. It's A Pony Party must be notified of the postponement before traveling to the event. Client may reschedule the event within 60 days of the original event date at no additional cost. If postponement of an event is necessary, It's A Pony Party reserves the right to substitutions of equal or greater value on the rescheduled event date. If postponement of the event is made after travel to the event has begun or the event has begun, an additional charge may be added up to a maximum of ten percent of the contract price (travel expense coverage). Once the pony/horses have arrived the remaining balance becomes due and postponement of the event is not available. When rain is forecasted for the time that the event is scheduled a representative from It's A Pony Party may contact the client. If the It's A Pony Party representative recommends that the event be postponed or cancelled and a refund of the deposit given to the client, but client insists that the pony/horses be set-up anyway, and the event thereafter get rained upon during the event, no refund will be given.  A pony party may be cancelled without loss in money with sufficient notice given to an It's A Pony Party representative.

D.  Overtime: It's A Pony Party events are 1 1/2  hours for the above stated price. Any time over this is $50 for each additional 1/2 hour , unless advised by an It's a Pony Party representative or due to extenuating circumstances agreed to by the It's a Pony Party representative.
