Event Services Agreement Template

Event work is unusually date-sensitive — there's no rescheduling an already-happened wedding — so the cancellation policy matters more here than in almost any other freelance category. This template locks in the event date with a non-refundable deposit, spells out what happens if either side needs to cancel or reschedule, and covers the core scope and payment terms every event vendor or planner needs in writing before the big day.

Scope of Services

The Sender will provide the following services for the Client's event: a full redesign of the Acme Bakery marketing website, including a new homepage, menu page, and online ordering integration, taking place on or around October 11, 2026.

Payment Terms

The total fee for this engagement is $2,400.00. The deposit secures the event date and is non-refundable if the Client cancels with less than 30 days' notice.

A deposit of $720.00 is due before work begins. The remaining balance is due upon completion and delivery of the final work, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Invoices are payable within 7 days of receipt. Late payments may accrue a 1.5% monthly late fee, and work may be paused until outstanding balances are settled.

Confidentiality

Both parties agree to keep confidential any non-public business, technical, or financial information shared during this engagement, and to use it only for the purpose of completing the work described in a full redesign of the Acme Bakery marketing website, including a new homepage, menu page, and online ordering integration.

This obligation survives the completion or termination of this agreement and continues for 2 years afterward.

Independent Contractor Relationship

The Sender is engaged as an independent contractor, not an employee, partner, or agent of the Client. The Sender is responsible for their own taxes, insurance, and benefits, and is free to accept other engagements during the term of this agreement, provided they do not conflict with the confidentiality obligations above.

Cancellation & Rescheduling

If the Client cancels with less than 30 days' notice before the event, the deposit is forfeited to cover costs already committed. If the Sender must cancel due to circumstances beyond their control, a full refund of amounts paid will be issued or a replacement arranged where possible.

Limitation of Liability

The Sender's total liability under this agreement is limited to the total fees paid by the Client. Neither party is liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from this engagement.
