1.2 Alcohol Procurement Regulation ("Dry Hire" Model):

In strict compliance with **Colorado Department of Revenue Liquor Enforcement Division (LED) regulations, Spirit’s & Sage Bartending operates strictly as a **"Dry Hire" service provider**. 
- Client Obligations: The Client is solely responsible for purchasing, procuring, and securing legal ownership of all alcoholic beverages to be served at the event. 
- Licensing Boundaries: Spirit’s & Sage Bartending does not sell, resell, or distribute alcohol. Spirit’s & Sage Bartending possesses no retail liquor license or permit to sell alcohol to consumers.
- Delivery & Storage: All alcoholic beverages must be delivered to the venue or event space by the Client or a licensed third-party delivery provider. 

1.3 Age Verification & Refusal of Service:

Spirit’s & Sage Bartending maintains strict adherence to Colorado Revised Statutes (C.R.S. § 44-3-901) regarding the service of alcohol:
- Mandatory Identification: Staff will strictly verify government-issued photo identification for any guest presenting as under the age of 30. No alcohol will be served to any individual under the age of 21.
- Intoxication Guidelines: Staff are trained in responsible alcohol service and reserve the absolute right to refuse service to any individual who exhibits signs of visible intoxication. 
- Host Liability & Safe Transport: The Client acknowledges responsibility for ensuring the safe transport of cut-off or intoxicated guests from the venue.

1.4 Gratuity & Compensation:

- Automatic Service Charge: A 20% automatic gratuity will be calculated and added directly to the Client's total invoice value. This charge compensates the service staff and covers execution overhead.
- Tip Jar Policy: Unless explicitly negotiated otherwise and substituted with an additional "hosted bar gratuity fee" in writing, a physical tip jar may be placed on the Mobile Horse Trailer Bar or Mobile Pop-Up Bar during service hours.


 2. Refund & Cancellation Policy

 2.1 Deposit Structure:

Non-Refundable Retainer: To secure a specific calendar date and reserve the mobile bars (Horse Trailer, Pop-Up Bar, or Charcuterie Cart) alongside necessary staffing, a non-refundable 15% deposit is required at the time of booking.

2.2 Payment Schedule & Cancellation Windows:

- Remaining Balance: The outstanding balance (the remaining 85% of the contract value) is due in full a minimum of 30 days prior to the scheduled event date.
- Partial Refunds: If the Client cancels the contract more than 7 days prior to the event date, the remaining balance paid (excluding the 15% non-refundable deposit) will be fully refunded.
- Late Cancellation: Cancellations made within 7 days of the event date render all funds paid entirely non-refundable, as scheduling, staff provisioning, and perishable food logistics (particularly for the Mobile Charcuterie Cart) will have already commenced.
