Customer hereby assumes all risk of loss and damage to the property from any cause whatsoever.

In the event a rental item is not returned, customer will be charged in full the cost to replace the missing item. Finally, in the case of our bar(s), a cleaning fee of $35.00 will be issued to customer if returned to A La Mode Collections in a state that requires it (i.e. leaving behind sticky residue on account of beverages served at your event).
