LABOR IS PROVIDED WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THEY ARE UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF THE BUYER.

Buyer Responsibilities

It is expressly understood that Labor supervision and inspection of all work performed by Labor personnel is the responsibility of BUYER. BUYER will be responsible for supervising and insuring that the local Labor personnel perform all work within accepted industry health and safety and other regulatory standards and to provide a safe workplace environment, and shall indemnify, and hold harmless Rhino with respect to any breach of this provision.

If BUYER is dissatisfied with the performance of any crew member(s) on the job site, BUYER shall notify Rhino as soon as possible, and Rhino will replace the crew member in question in an expeditious manner. Reporting this information after the engagement will not result in a refund for their time spent on the project.

BUYER acknowledges that all pre-event estimates are based on Rhino’s best understanding of the BUYER’s anticipated schedule and production needs, but are only an estimate; no guarantee is made or implied. Final billing will be based on the actual hours worked, the rates and conditions of the labor force involved as stated
in Rhino’s most current published rate sheet or estimate and number of personnel on the project. It is incumbent upon BUYER to actively track the crew hours on site on a regular basis vs. estimate, as Rhino’s will not be reporting actual hours worked to BUYER until after auditing final time sheets and presenting a final invoice.

Cost and schedule commitments contained in Rhino’s proposal shall be subject to renegotiation for unreasonable delays caused by BUYER’s failure to provide specified facilities or information or for delays caused by unpredictable occurrences such as fires, floods, strikes, job action, riots, unavailability of labor or materials or services, process shutdown, acts of God, terrorism, or acts or regulations of any governmental agency. Work stoppage or interruption caused by any of the above may result in additional cost (requiring a change in scope) beyond that identified in Rhino’s estimate, entitling Rhino to an adjustment to the cost and the schedule.

Limit of Liability
Following completion of this Agreement, Rhino shall promptly return to BUYER any unused portion of the deposit. Rhino’s liability hereunder is limited to return of the deposit and its obligations contained in Description of Services; To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Rhino shall not be liable to BUYER for any other damages, claims or costs whatsoever or any consequential, resultant, indirect, incidental or special damages, or any lost profits or lost savings, under any legal theory of liability arising out of this Agreement, even if Rhino has been advised of the possibility of such loss, damages, claims or costs or if such possibility was reasonably foreseeable. Buyer accepts the terms and conditions of this Agreement with the understanding that Rhino’s liability is limited, that the fees payable hereunder have been calculated accordingly, and that it may reduce risk further by making appropriate provision for insurance. BUYER further agrees to mitigate all
 losses or damages.

Hold Harmless
In no event shall Rhino and Rhino’s affiated entities, officers, directors, employees, agents and independent professional consultants, and any of them, be liable to Buyer and/or anyone claiming by, through or under buyer, including Buyer’s insurers, for any loss, delayed or diminished profits, revenues, or opportunities; or any other incidental, special, indirect, or consequential damages of any kind or nature whatsoever resulting from Rhino’s performance or failure to perform services pursuant to any agreement. Buyer agrees to be solely responsible for, and to defend, indemnify and hold Rhino harmless against any and all claims by third parties arising out of or in any way related to the production, the Labor provided hereunder or the supervision of the Labor. Buyer agrees to maintain casualty and general liability coverage in such amounts as are reasonably acceptable to Rhino. Buyer shall, from time to time as Rhino may request, provide to Rhino a Certificate of Insurance evidencing such coverage and showing Rhino as an additional insured.

Prices

Such rate cards and conditions, and publications are not offers to sell and are maintained only as a source of general information. Buyer will pay or reimburse Rhino for all sales, use, excise or similar taxes.

Rhino reserves the right to reject any change.

Returns
All returns of Services will be subject to prior Rhino approval and will be subject to Rhino’s return policies in effect at the time, including applicable restocking charges and other conditions of return. Shipping containers must be clearly marked in accordance with Rhino’s instructions and shipped freight prepaid by Buyer.

Order Cancellation
An order may be canceled by Buyer prior to the shipment only by written notice and upon payment to Rhino of reasonable cancellation and restocking charges, including reimbursement for direct costs, plus allowances for disruption, or call minimums. Cancellation charges associated with orders for custom services or Services specifically manufactured to Buyer’s specification may equal the actual selling price of the Services. Rhino has the right to cancel an order for cause at any time by written notice and Rhino will be entitled to cancellation and restocking charges as identified above. No termination by Buyer for cause will be effective unless and until Rhino has failed to correct such alleged cause within forty-five (45) days after receipt of the Buyer’s written notice specifying such cause.

Force Majeure
Rhino shall not be liable for any loss, damage, or delay arising out of its failure to perform hereunder due to causes beyond its reasonable control, including, without limitation, acts of God or the Buyer, acts of civil or military authority, terrorist threats or attacks, fires, strikes, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, war, riots, delays in transportation, or transportation embargoes. In the event of any such delay, Rhino’s performance date(s) will be extended for that length of time as may be reasonably necessary to compensate for the delay. An artist or performer’s cancellation (for any reason) shall not be considered an event of Force Majeure.

Miscellaneous
Buyer agrees that in the event legal action is necessary to enforce the terms and conditions set forth herein, Buyer shall pay all costs incurred by Rhino including, without limitation, attorney’s fees and costs of experts. Buyer agrees that it has selected the Services based upon its own judgment and disclaims any reliance upon statements or representations made by Rhino. All claims with regard to errors or defects in shipment or rentals must be made within five (5) days of delivery or such claim will be barred.
