OAKLAND ARENA EVENT SUITE RENTAL AGREEMENT
This Event Suite Rental Agreement (this “Agreement”) is between AEG Management Oakland, LLC (“AEGMO” or “Oakland Arena” and the undersigned Client (the “Client” or “Event Suite Holder”). Any Event Suite Invoice(s) (“Invoice(s)”) executed between the Parties herein are hereby incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement. The Agreement and any Invoice(s) are herein collectively referred to as “the Agreement”. AEGMO and Client may be referred to in this Agreement as a Party or the Parties. For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties to this Agreement agree as follows:
- The Parties hereby agree that the term of this Agreement (the “Term”) shall commence on the Date below and shall terminate upon conclusion of the applicable event (the “Event”). In the interpretation of this Agreement and to the extent that this Agreement conflicts with or is inconsistent with any provision contained in any other correspondence or other document provided by one Party to the other, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail.
- The Client shall be entitled to occupy and use the suite (the “Suite”) identified below and located in the Oakland Arena facility (“Oakland Arena”) for the Event indicated below (“Rental Period”). The Parties acknowledge that AEGMO is authorized to process full payment for the Suite (“Payment”) on the credit card or charge card provided by Client to AEGMO, whether by telephone, email, or in person. Subsequently, AEGMO shall forward this Agreement to Client for execution by Client. Client shall execute this Agreement and return to AEGMO along with payment in full. The executed Agreement and payment must be received by AEGMO upon execution of the Agreement. In the event that an executed Agreement and payment in good funds have not been received by AEGMO, then the Client’s reservation will be deemed tentative and, due to the high demand for rental of the Suite, the Suite may, without notice to Client, be rented to another Party (in which case this Agreement shall terminate without further liability to either Party). The Payment is non-refundable. In the event that Payment and an executed Agreement have been received by AEGMO, but Client cancels its reservation less than thirty (30) days prior to the Event Date, AEGMO shall be entitled to retain 100% of Payment. However, if Client’s cancellation is received thirty (30) days or more prior to the Event, Client shall have the option to apply the Payment towards the use of a suite for another event occurring at Oakland Arena during the 2022-2023 Oakland Arena season (July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023) based upon availability. If Client has provided Payment to AEGMO and returned an executed Agreement with regard to an Event, and the Event is cancelled by promoter or AEGMO for any reason, then Client shall be entitled to apply the Payment towards the use of a suite for another event occurring at Oakland Arena during the 2022-2023 Oakland Arena season based upon availability.
- Once AEGMO has received an executed Agreement and the Payment in good funds, then, and only then, shall AEGMO distribute or provide access to, in advance of Event, the number of Suite Tickets sold to Client pursuant to this Agreement (“Suite Tickets”), to the contact identified by the Client. Upon presentation of a Suite Ticket by Client or any person entering the Suite under a Suite Ticket provided through Client (“Client’s guests” or “Guests”), the holder of the Suite Ticket shall be entitled to access to and usage of the Suite for the Rental Period.
- Any alcoholic beverages or food consumed in the Suite shall be obtained only from AEGMO’s designated suite concessionaire. All food, beverage and other services ordered in advance shall be paid as indicated on the applicable form of the suite concessionaire. Any additional food, beverage and other services requested and utilized by Client or any of Guests must be paid for upon delivery by Visa, Mastercard or American Express, unless otherwise expressly agreed to by Client, AEGMO and its designated concessionaire.
- In addition to the requirements imposed by this Agreement including, but not limited to, the Policies and Procedures provision set forth below, AEGMO shall have the right to adopt and amend additional rules and regulations (collectively, the rules set forth herein including, but not limited to the Policies and Procedures as well as any additional rules and regulations are referred to as the “Rules”) as AEGMO deems desirable in its sole discretion for the safety, care and cleanliness of Oakland Arena and the preservation of good order within Oakland Arena.
