Financial Settlements

Financial settlements will be conducted by your Event Coordinator no later than the last move-out day of your event. Payments for security, ushers, first aid personnel and any other support staff will be payable during this settlement.


Ticketed Events

Events based on a percentage of gross ticket sales will require special measures such as a certified ticket manifest from a box office or ticketing agency. Ticket accountability must be discussed with your Event Coordinator prior to publicizing your event or the selling of tickets. Box office settlements with your Event Coordinator will be held daily, or on the last day of the event as specified by your Event Coordinator.


Broadcasting/Televising/Recording/Taping

Videotaping your event is permitted provided that any broadcast or recording of the event for reproduction will be for your proprietary use and not for broadcast to the general public.


Damages

It is important that you accompany your Event Coordinator on pre move-in and post move-out tours of the Facilities to assess building conditions and to determine any responsibility for damages. Should building damages occur during an event, your Event Coordinator will notify you of the damage. Charges for damages will be included in your post event invoice.


Favors and Gratuities

The CCF staff pride ourselves on our ability to provide you with the best service possible. No gratuities are expected or allowed. In accordance with the Code of Ethics for Officials and Employees of the City of San Jose, CCF personnel may not accept money or other consideration of favors from anyone other than the City for performing job duties. If you feel so inclined, letters of commendation recognizing employees for outstanding service may be sent to the Director.


Service Contractors

Your service contractor will be directly contacted for payment of exhibitor utility fees. Should your service contractor fail to make payment for exhibit utility fees, you will ultimately be held responsible for payment of these services.

Your service contractor may not be billed for any damages incurred during your event, for any cleaning of the exhibit halls or the loading area of excessive trash. Compensation for these types of situations will be made by you.
