Section 1.Master Calendar - Space Reservations
Calendar:
Great Southern Bank Arena will maintain a multiple year running calendar of activities and will review tentative event date reservations for potential lessees for available dates as calendar constraints allow. All dates are initially reserved by Great Southern Bank Arena until completion of their University event schedule. Reservations for all lessees will remain tentative until the date is released by Great Southern Bank Arena and a Contract is signed and a deposit (when required) is received.
Scheduling and Deposits:
Events as requested by off campus users will be scheduled as the calendar permits. Date priorities will be given to standard University functions to include commencement and basketball contests. Off campus users may be asked to make a deposit equal to 50% of rental rate for the space. If the requesting party chooses not to make the deposit, the date will be released.
Each Contract will have a stipulated cancellation date after which time all deposits previously paid to hold reservations shall be presumed to be damages sustained by Great Southern Bank Arena and the deposits shall become the property of Great Southern Bank Arena and shall not be refunded. Either party may cancel their Contract without any obligation by giving the other party written notice at least sixty (60) days prior to the first date of use of the facilities herein described. In the event the Permittee cancels the Contract at any time within the sixty day (60 day) period immediately preceding the first date of use of the facilities herein described, then it is understood that all monies previously paid by the Permittee as deposits shall be presumed to be damages sustained by Great Southern Bank Arena and the deposits shall become the property of Great Southern Bank Arena and shall not be refunded.
Unless otherwise specified in writing, Great Southern Bank Arena shall retain the right to schedule other events both before and after any currently contracted or tentatively scheduled event without prior notice to the Permittee (s) involved.
Section 2. Permits
