Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Gainesville, Inc.
(UUFG) RENTAL AGREEMENT GUIDELINES

Our aim is to make each rental a satisfactory experience for all parties.
To that end, we provide the following guidelines.

1. Rental of the kitchen does not include any utensils, supplies, flatware, cups, or glassware; the renter must provide these items.

2. UUFG shall not be accountable for injury to any persons(s) or for damage to any property which may be owned or used by the individual/organization contracting for use of UUFG space.

3. The renter will be responsible for any damages beyond the amount of damage deposit.

4. Rental of specific rooms does not preclude UUFG from using other space or allowing other groups to do so.

5. Upon receipt of damage deposit and 50% of rental fee from renter and execution of the Rental Agreement by UUFG, rental space is confirmed. All fees and deposits are non-refundable in the event of cancellation unless space can be re-rented for that time frame.

6. Rental fees do not cover the setting up and taking down of tables and chairs; the renter is responsible for this. Furniture should be returned to its original location.

7. The renter is responsible for leaving the area in a clean condition and all things returned to their proper places. Cleanup, pickup, and straightening are the renter's responsibility so that another scheduled event may follow without additional preparation. If the kitchen is used, the floor and all surfaces are to be cleaned per the instruction of the Rental Coordinator. Trash containers are to be emptied into the dumpster.

8. Amplified sound, additional electrical requirements, and special lighting must be arranged with the Rental Coordinator prior to the scheduled event. No art work may be removed from the walls. In the Social Hall and the Sanctuary no signs, banners, posters or notices may be affixed to walls, folding walls, floors, or ceilings with nails, staples, tape or any other substance. Easels will be provided for posting signs.

9. The folding wall will remain as a divider between the Social Hall and the Sanctuary unless otherwise requested. Folding wall may be moved only under the supervision of the Rental Coordinator.
