Events Agreement

  • To confirm your event space booking you must agree to the terms and conditions outlined below and secure payment before the due date.

    Facilities & Equipment

    We reserve the right to charge an additional cleaning fee if any excessive mess or damage is left behind after an event. The fee will be based on the extent of cleaning required and charged to the responsible party.

    If any equipment, furniture or facilities are broken, damaged or stolen, the event host will incur the cost of fixing or replacing the item.

    Fishburners (Fishburners Limited, ABN 32 152 773 647) does not take responsibility for your equipment if left in the space.

    Fishburners reserves the right to move your event to an alternative space if needed.

    AV equipment is included in the event space hire and we check it to make sure it works for your event. Fishburners is not responsible for any AV issues that may arise during your event unless you have booked an AV technician to look after your event - enquire more by contacting us on [email protected].

    If we discover that the AV setup has been changed without our knowledge, charges may apply for an AV technician to fix the AV system for the next event.
    Staff

    Our staff is here to assist you with the AV in the beginning of the event

    Your setup will be done before the event as per the events organiser's request. Any changes that need to be done during the event are up to the organiser.

    At least one of our staff members will be available at Fishburners to assist with any questions or needs during your event.

    An attendee getting sick from the food at your event.

    An attendee injuring themselves from acting recklessly, and/or under the influence of alcohol at either of these addresses.

    External Sponsorship

    Event hosts must not remove, turn off, or move any sponsor signage. You may display your own supporters’ banners and logos alongside. It is the responsibility of the event host to inform Fishburners of whom their sponsors are and if they are competitors of our sponsors. We require all event hosts to respect our sponsorship promotion and not to interfere with our sponsors logos on the TV’s (do not at any times turn off the TV’s).

    Fishburners’ event space is in high demand, and regularly booked every evening and weekend, a month in advance. We require a 50% deposit to lock in your booking. 

    If you need to cancel your event, we require notice as early as possible. If the event is cancelled less than one month before the scheduled date, we will retain 50% of the deposit. If the cancellation is made less than 14 days before the event, the full deposit will be retained. If the entire event is cancelled less than 48 hours before the scheduled time, we will retain the agreed cost of the event space. We understand that unexpected circumstances can arise, so please let us know as soon as possible if you need to reschedule your event where additional charges may apply.

    In addition to this, Fishburners encourages the event host to promote diversity at their events and support minority groups that are underrepresented within the tech/startup ecosystem (Eg If you are hosting a panel event ensure there is a mix of speakers from different genders and/or cultural backgrounds to provide a more diverse perspective).

    Acknowledgment of Country

    Fishburners respect the need to provide an Acknowledgement of Country at events. This practice recognises the place of Indigenous people as the first custodians of this land, promotes awareness of the history and culture of Indigenous people and formally acknowledges Indigenous people’s ongoing connection to land.
    ‘I would like to acknowledge the Gadigal of the Eora Nation, the traditional custodians of this land and pay my respects to the Elders both past and present.
