Facility Rental Policies

Payment Policy

The balance (Rental Fee, less the 25% deposit, plus Security Damage Deposit and extra staff/security) is due and payable before the close of business at the OJAC 60 days prior to the event. If timely payment is not made, the facilities will not be made available.

Cancellation Policy

The Booking Deposit and Security Damage Deposit is 100% refundable 7 days after date of booking. If cancellation of the event occurs after 7 days of the agreement date, the Booking Deposit will be forfeited, but the Security Damage Deposit will be refunded.

Unforseen Circumstances

The OJAC will not be held liable for failure to carry out arrangements that are beyond our control.

Security Guard Policy

Any event with 100 or more attending will require a security guard. The number of security guards and museum staff needed for each event will be determined by the Executive Director. The number will depend on the nature of the event, number of people attending and the amount of space used. In the event that such a determination is made that additional security and/or museum staff is needed, the cost will be paid by the Lessee. This will be agreed upon in advance with the Lessee.

Event Timeframe Policy

All events have a five-hour maximum, including set-up and clean-up. There will be a $50.00/hour charge for each hour over the maximum. All events, including clean-up, must be concluded by midnight.
