FOR ALL PRIVATE PARTIES
4. Painting Selection: Private/corporate parties have their choice of painting selection! Please view our Painting Library at: https://www....nting-library (there are so many awesome paintings to choose from) but we do need to have your selection 2 weeks prior to your party. If we don’t have your choice by that time, your artist may not be able to paint your desired selection and we reserve the right to have you choose from the artist library (the list of paintings that your artist has already painted).
This method ensures your artist is familiar with the painting, knows how to paint and instruct it and it provides a copy of the actual painting on the stage for your guests to look at and refer to. This is one of the reasons Pinot’s Palette is the premier paint & sip studio in NJ and our method greatly helps to ensure a guest’s painting success!
For children's events, a painting from the Kid's section must be chosen.
5. Cancellation Policy: While we regret to lose the opportunity to paint with you, our private party cancellation policy is in place to protect the professional artists who are booked specifically for your party. For this reason, we firmly require a minimum of 10 business days (Monday - Friday) notice of cancellation before your party date to grant a deposit refund or rescheduled date. A delayed deposit placed less than 7 days before the desired party date will not be eligible for either refund or reschedule.
If all party costs are met—paid registrations for all guests [minimum of 12 for adults and 12 for kids]—the full deposit will be refunded the day after the event. If there are any unpaid charges, including parties running 30 minutes over [that are not caused by the artist(s)], they will be deducted from the deposit prior to the refund. Private parties that start late (30 minutes or longer) may be subject to a late fee of $75.00 per 30 minutes.
Fundraising Events: Fundraisers are scheduled just like a Private Party. A $250 deposit is required to hold the date. The pricing per seat (depends on the individual arrangement between studio and non-profit) and the minimum headcount to receive $10 back on each seat is 20 pre-paid painters. If you have 20 painters, Pinot's Palette will donate back to your 501c3 organization, $10 from every seat sold [requires proper documentation of non-profit status]. You can also choose to make your fundraiser public.
Gratuity: An 18% automatic gratuity will be withdrawn from the deposit so no need to bring cash to the studio!

Arbitration Rights. Please read this section carefully. It affects rights that you may otherwise have. It provides for resolution of most disputes through arbitration instead of court trials and class actions. Arbitration is final and binding and subject to only very limited review by a court. This arbitration clause shall survive termination of this agreement.
Binding Arbitration. This provision is intended to be interpreted broadly to encompass all disputes or claims arising out of our relationship. Any dispute or claim made by you against us (or against any of our subsidiary, parent or affiliate companies) arising out of or relating to this Agreement or your use of a Pinot's Palette Gift Certificate will be resolved by binding arbitration except that (a) you may take claims to small claims court if they qualify for hearing by such a court, or (b) you or we may choose to pursue claims in court if the claims relate solely to the collection of any debts you owe to us. However, even for those claims that may be taken to court, you and we both waive any claims for punitive damages and any right to pursue claims on a class or representative basis.
Arbitration Procedures. You must first present any claim or dispute to us by contacting our Customer Service department to allow us an opportunity to resolve the dispute. You may request arbitration if your claim or dispute cannot be resolved within 60 days. The arbitration of any dispute or claim shall be conducted in accordance with the American Arbitration Association (AAA) as modified by this agreement. The AAA Rules and information about arbitration and fees are available upon request from the AAA (call 1-800-778-7879) or online atadr.org. You and we agree that this agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce and this arbitration provision will be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law. Unless you and we agree otherwise, any arbitration will take place in Houston, Texas and will be conducted in the English language. An arbitrator may not award relief in excess of or contrary to what this agreement provides, order consolidation or arbitration on a class wide or representative basis, or award punitive damages or any other damages aside from the prevailing party’s actual damages, except that the arbitrator may award on an individual basis damages required by statute and may order injunctive or declaratory relief pursuant to an applicable consumer protection statute. In any arbitration applying the AAA Rules applicable to large/complex cases, the arbitrators must also apply the Federal Rules of Evidence, and the losing party may have the award reviewed in accordance with the review procedures set forth in the AAA Rules. Any arbitration shall be confidential, and neither you nor we may disclose the existence, content or results of any arbitration, except as may be required by law or for purposes of enforcement of the arbitration award. Judgment on any arbitration award may be entered in any court having proper jurisdiction. If any portion of this arbitration clause is determined by a court to be inapplicable or invalid, than the remainder shall still be given full force and effect.
Costs of Arbitration. All administrative fees and expenses of an arbitration will be divided equally between you and us, except that for claims of less than $1,000, you will be obligated to pay $25 and we will pay all other administrative costs and fees. In all arbitrations, each party will bear the expense of its own counsel, experts, witnesses and preparation and presentation of evidence at the arbitration.
Waiver of Punitive Damage Claims and Class Actions. By this Agreement, both you and we are waiving certain rights to litigate disputes in court. If for any reason this arbitration clause is deemed inapplicable or invalid, you and we both waive, to the fullest extent allowed by law, any claims to recover punitive or exemplary damages and any right to pursue any claims on a class or consolidated basis or in a representative capacity.
