Parasol Projects

Booking Terms & Conditions

These terms apply to every Parasol Projects space booking, alongside the Parasol Standard Lease Agreement.

Payments & security deposit

What your booking includes

Best-efforts basis

The space and the services above — utilities, heating and air conditioning, Wi-Fi, trash collection — are provided on a best-efforts basis only. Parasol Projects cannot guarantee proper or uninterrupted delivery. A router may need resetting, a Wi-Fi provider may experience a wider outage, a trash company may occasionally miss a scheduled collection, and building or utility emergencies can require immediate shut-off of electricity or water with little to no notice. Parasol Projects does not indemnify against expenses or losses related to these matters.

What is not covered

Parasol Projects does not cover expenses or indemnify losses related to weather (for example, rain water leaking into a space, or a snowstorm that reduces turnout to your event), terrorism, crime, issues related to homelessness, or pandemics. While our team is here to help and support you as best we can, in essence you have “ownership” of the space during your stay — including all the risks and rewards that come with New York City commercial real estate.

Space hours

Access outside these hours must be arranged with Parasol in advance.

House rules

Trash removal

The included trash removal covers basic collection only. If bulk removal or a high volume of trash is expected, please advise in advance and we will coordinate and invoice for removal.

Deliveries

No deliveries may arrive at the space before your possession date and time. If deliveries are made before your possession, please assume no one will be available to accept them and your packages will not be secure. Parasol Projects is unable to take responsibility for any packages or deliveries.

Condition of the space

To the extent the space is not returned in the condition it was received — beyond the basics included above — repair costs are billed at $90.00 per hour and will be deducted from the security deposit.

Parasol Projects places small vinyl decals on the windows of each of our spaces. If you wish to remove this vinyl for your activation, the replacement cost is $300.00.

Vendors, painting & electrical

You are welcome to work with your own vendors, partners and providers. However, for painting and any electrical work, we ask that you hire Parasol. All installation plans must be reviewed and approved by our team in advance.

Access to the space

During your stay, Parasol staff, contractors or representatives, city officials and property management may access the space, whether you are present or not. The purpose may range from scheduled or unscheduled (urgent) maintenance, to a city fire inspection, to showing the space to a prospective client. If you vacate the space early, you relinquish any remaining balance of your license period, and our team will usually begin preparing the space for the next client upon your exit.
