First time clients are asked to complete a rental application which includes details of the event and business history of the promoter. Approval for event bookings are subject to approval from WinSport Event Management. Submission of an event request application does not guarantee the event to proceed or dates to be held. Dates will only be secured after there is approval from the committee, a signed contract and deposit with credit card on file. Tentative Holds First Hold Requests for tentative date(s) that are made within twelve months of the event are held for two months, after which time the Event Manager reserves the right to request the date to book another event on the date(s) being held, with notification to the potential renter. When a contract is fully executed and the agreed upon deposit is received, tentative dates will then be considered confirmed. Second Hold WinSport facilities and date(s) reserved on a second hold are held pending execution of a contract or the release of the first hold date(s). In the event the first hold date(s) are released, second hold date(s) receive first hold status. Challenges On Date(s) If a potential renter makes a request for a tentative date being held by another party, they will be given a second hold. If the party requesting the second hold wants to challenge the date, WinSport Event Management will give the first hold client written notice of the challenge and will have seventy two hours to make a non-refundable deposit to secure the date. The first hold client will then be required to return the signed contract within fourteen days. Should the contract not be received within the fourteen days, the date will then be made available to the second hold client. Other Circumstances If two potential clients are bidding on the same act, the promoter who signs the act receives the contract for the dates, regardless of the hold sequence. Confirmed Dates are only considered confirmed upon execution of contract & rental agreement, along with receipt of deposit. 6 Event Services In addition to the venue rental, the client will pay the operational & technical expenses along with labour related to the event.
