Deposit
The artist
will require a 25% deposit to be paid upon booking in order to secure the
client’s chosen date and time. This date and time will be secured upon clearing
of the cheque.
Please
make cheques crossed and payable to Rebekah
Shambrook and include the client’s name and address on reverse of cheque.
Do not mail cash.
The
deposit is refundable upon cancellation up to 2 weeks in advance.
Cancellation Policy
Should the client decide to cancel
their event for any reason (except in unforeseen circumstances which include
but are not limited to: death or illness), a notice must be given to the artist
at least 2 weeks in advance. It is very difficult for the artist to fill a
cancelled time slot on short notice. Any monies already paid toward the event
will be refunded. Cancellation between 2 weeks and 48 hours will result in loss
of deposit only. Any notice later than 48 hours in advance will result in the
client accepting to pay a cancellation fee of 50% (inclusive of the 25% deposit) of the total time booked unless in
unforeseen circumstances.
Should the artist become ill, the
25% deposit will be refunded and every effort will be made to find a
replacement.

in cash. Any overtime will be requested after the event.
