1. If the Client fails to inform the Caterer of a reduction in the number of guests attending the Event at least 7 days before the Event is due to take place, the Caterer will be under no obligation to change the quote price for the Event and any such change shall be at the Caterer’s sole discretion.

1. Caterer’s hours

1. The recommended hours of work for each member of staff are subject to change if the duration of the Event extends beyond the anticipated timeframes (as quoted).

1. Breakages, losses or damage

1. The Client is responsible for all hired equipment that is used by the Caterer for the Event and for any such broken, lost or damaged equipment the Client shall reimburse the Caterer for the full retail value of the equipment, linen, china, cutlery or utensils and such charge will be added to the invoice.

Subject to clause 3.2, Sissi Fabulous Food will not be liable to the Client or any person claiming through the Client for any loss of business or profit, or any consequential loss howsoever arising (including, but not limited to, any delay in or failure to carry out any of its obligations under this agreement) 

1. Subject to clause 3.2, the aggregate liability of Sissi Fabulous Food in respect of any loss or damage suffered by the Client and arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, whether in contract, tort (including negligence) or for breach of statutory duty or in any other way, shall not exceed the amount of the payable by Client to Sissi Fabulous Food under this Agreement.”

1. entitled to 50% of any payments made to the Caterer by the Client pursuant to the quote for the Event; and

1. Insurance

The Caterer confirms that it has and will maintain sufficient public liability insurance for events requiring such policies.

1. Food Hygiene and Safety

If the Caterer is providing a drop off or collection service or virtual cooking lesson, whereby the

Caterer passes control or supervisory responsibilities for the food over to

the Client after the point of delivery or collection, it shall be the

responsibility of the Client to store, maintain, preserve, display and heat

the food properly and safely. The Caterer accepts no liability for food that

is incorrectly stored, maintained, preserved, displayed, heated, or

damaged after the food has been delivered or collected by the Client. If

the Client has any doubts or uncertainties about how to store, maintain,

preserve, display or heat the food, the Client should contact the Caterer

immediately for guidance.

1. Events outside of our control

The Caterer does not accept any liability for the non-performance or

incomplete performance of obligations of a third party supplier to the

Event or the Caterer.

The Caterer and the Client are not liable for failure to perform its obligations if such failure is as a result of an act of God (including, but not limited to, fire, flood, earthquake, storm, hurricane or other natural disaster), terrorist activities, government sanction, blockage, embargo, labour dispute, strike, lockout or interruption or failure of electricity (each, a “force majeure”). Neither party is entitled to terminate the agreement under Clause 6 (Cancellations) in such circumstances. If a party asserts a force majeure as an excuse for failure to perform its obligation, then the non-performing party must prove that party took reasonable steps to minimise delay or damages caused by foreseeable events, that the party substantially fulfilled all non-excused obligations, and that the other party was timely notified of the likelihood or actual occurrence of an event described as a force majeure.

1. Governing law and jurisdiction

The governing law of these terms and conditions shall be English law and

the English courts shall have jurisdiction over any disputes arising

between the Caterer and the Client, regardless of where the Event takes

place.
