Hi,
I'd first like to thank everyone's contributions in this forum .
I'm about ready to sign a contract for a wedding hall in NY and they have this one clause they won't remove stating:
--> "Limitation of Liability. In no event shall Caterer's liability in connection with this Agreement exceed the amount of money actually paid to the Caterer pursuant to this Agreement, regardless of type or theory of claims or damages."
My concern is about fees for bands and photographers which will cost thousands of dollars. In the event there's a problem at this venue, I'd seemingly still have to pay these other vendors and could not recover from the venue.
Any suggestions or advice in how to deal with this?
(Note: I have not yet asked the venue to change this too strongly, their response was "The only one we can’t change is # 7 amending the liability clause, that is standard from our attorneys". Do you think I could perhaps get them to allow for reimbursement for fees incurred for band, photography, flowers, invitations?)
(I have not yet seen any contracts for the band or photographer)
