Terms & Conditions
Event Terms - updated 7th January 2024
1. GENERAL
We limit the number of events per day in order to maintain a high standard of quality. There may be instances where we cannot offer our services even if we have already provided you with a quote. We book our events on a first-come first-serve basis. If you’ve got your mind set on our services, we advise that you secure your event date as soon as possible.
Whilst every effort is made by Quiz Coconut and its hosts to ensure a safe event, we will not be held responsible for any injuries to your staff or customers arising from over-zealous participant activity. By paying a deposit for your event you accept these terms.
2. FEE
In full consideration for all services rendered by Quiz Coconut Inc., the Client agreed to pay Quiz Coconut Inc. a fee agreed in advance. The Client accepts the fee when they pay the Deposit.
3. DEPOSIT
The Client will pay Quiz Coconut Inc. an amount as a deposit, which is usually half of the Fee. It is only at this point that the Event is considered booked.
The Client will pay Quiz Coconut inc. the remainder of the Fee before the end of 14 days after the Event date.
4. PERFORMER EXPENSES
Travel, materials and sound equipment are provided as part of the Fee, unless specified otherwise. There may be instances of events beyond a certain distance from Toronto that require additional travel costs. All extra costs will be listed on a Quote.
5. CHANGES AND CANCELLATIONS
In the event of family emergency or illness or other such instance that would prevent Quiz Coconut Inc. from carrying out the Services the Deposit will be returned to the Client promptly.
In the event of the Client needing to change the date of the Event, Quiz Coconut Inc. will accommodate a revised date subject to availability and the Deposit will be valid for the new date.
In the event of the Client needing to cancel the event more than six weeks before the Event date, the deposit will be returned.
In the event of the Client needing to cancel the event less than six weeks before the Event date, the Deposit is non-refundable.
6. FORCE MAJEURE
Neither the Client nor Quiz Coconut Inc. will be held liable for any failure to perform its obligations under an Agreement where such breach is due to any of the following: acts or regulations of public authorities, labour difficulties or strike, inclement weather, epidemic, interruption or delay of transportation service, acts of God, Covid-19 provincial or federal restrictions, or any other legitimate cause beyond reasonable control of Quiz Coconut Inc. and the Client.
7. SICKNESS AND ACCIDENTS
Quiz Coconut Inc. agrees to meet its obligations under an Agreement subject to legitimate incapacity by sickness or accident.
8. INDEMNIFICATION
Quiz Coconut Inc. is responsible only for its own conduct. Quiz Coconut Inc. will be compensated by the Client for any and all damage to equipment by its employees, agents or guests. The Client indemnifies and holds Quiz Coconut Inc. harmless for any and all property damage or personal injury that result from or is related to the Event that is not directly caused by Quiz Coconut Inc.
9. INSURANCE

The Client warrants and represents that it has, or will obtain, sufficient personal injury and property damage liability insurance with respect to the activities of the Client, its employees, agents or guests in relation to the Event.
10. GOVERNING LAW
Any Agreement will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Province of Ontario, or those of the province in which the Event takes place.
Virtual Event Terms
1 . We carry out Virtual Events using platforms that we do not own nor manage. Most events are carried out on Zoom. We can also run the events on Webex, MS Teams and Google Meet. The experience is not as good using these platforms, therefore if you wish to use these platforms we do not accept any responsibility for an experience affected by the constraints of those platforms.
2. We follow the advised security protocols for your Virtual Event, requiring a direct link and/or password for entry. We will not be held accountable for any disruption due to hacking or other such malicious behaviour from outside Quiz Coconut and/or the client’s attendee list.
3. In case of issues such as connectivity or power outages making the Virtual Event unable to be carried out effectively, we may agree to offer to postpone to a different day and time.
4. We reserve the right to remove any attendees from the Virtual Event if they are negatively affecting the experience.
5. There may be a period of time either before or after the hosted Virtual Event where you may be in the session without a Quiz Coconut host. We will not be held responsible for any activity that happens during this period.
6. A Virtual Event may include non-mandatory interactive portions where attendees may be requested to carry out mild physical activity such as searching for objects in their home or dressing up in a particular way. We will not be held responsible for any injuries to your staff or customers arising from over-zealous participant activity. By paying a deposit for your event you accept these terms.
