Policies & Procedures
Deposits
A deposit in the amount of fifty percent (50%) of the rental shall be due and payable upon signing of the full contract in order to reserve the space. This deposit will be credited towards the total cost of your event. The remaining balance shall be due and payable within thirty (30) days after conclusion of the event. Late payments may incur interest, not as a penalty but as liquidated damages at the rate of 1.5% per month (18% per annum) until paid unless such rate exceeds the maximum rate allowed by law, in which event the maximum rate allowed by law shall apply.
Guarantees
The guaranteed number of attendees and finalized room sets shall be provided at least five (5) business days prior to the event date.
Decorations
All displays, exhibits and decorations to be used in the meeting space must be freestanding without attachments to walls, ceilings or floors. Any displays or signs outside the designated meeting space must be approved by ATA in advance as to content and location. The use of candles or any devices emitting a flame is prohibited. All displays, exhibits, decorations, catering equipment and materials must enter and exit the ATA meeting space through the building’s loading dock. Delivery and pickup must be coordinated with ATA in advance.
Special Conditions
Outside catering is permitted. For a list of preferred caterers, please call the ATA Event Services Department at (703) 838-1755 or email eventservices@trucking.org. Any event that is designated for more than one day and requires a room setup and/or audio visual change, will incur an additional two hundred dollars ($200) per day setup fee for each day there is a change.
Insurance
A certificate of insurance must be submitted by all renters and catering companies at least one (1) week prior to the start date of the meeting space rental. The certificate must comply with the specified language mentioned in ATA’s agreement. All certificates are valid for one year; therefore, a certificate is not required for every rental unless the previous one has expired.
Cancellations
Events may be canceled up to thirty (30) business days prior to the scheduled event date without penalty and with full refund of the deposit paid. In the event that a meeting space rental is canceled less than less than thirty (30) business days prior to the scheduled event date, the deposit paid shall be forfeited.
