The Legal Risk Score of a Catering Agreement (Customer is a Business) Template is Low

Our legal team have marked this document as low risk considering:

  • The agreement outlines that the customer is responsible for upfront financial commitments such as deposits and payments for extras, and the cost may increase if the details of the function change after the order is finalized, potentially leading to higher than anticipated expenses.
  • If the customer cancels the event close to the date of the function or reduces the number of attendees, they may still be liable for significant costs, which can include paying for services and goods that are no longer required.
  • The customer must ensure that the venue meets certain requirements and that access is provided for setup and cleanup within specific time frames, which could lead to logistical challenges or additional costs if not managed properly.
