The Client is responsible for any damages or losses that occur as a result of any vendor or attendee action and is within his/her rights to seek outside redress to recoup any of these types of charges.

Any client using a vendor must let the vendor know that absolutely NO equipment needed by that vendor is allowed to be on White Oaks property other than the clients scheduled event date.
