In the case that Client payment is made prior to services being delivered or rendered, we realize that exceptional circumstances can take place with regard to the character of the services and rental items.  Therefore, we do honor requests for refund based on the following reasons:
- Non-delivery of the service due to unforeseen or emergency circumstances which prevent the delivery or rendering of the service within the agreed upon and necessary time of delivery or rendering.  Claims for non-delivery must be submitted to Anetia’s Catering in writing within 7 days from the agreed upon date of service delivery or scheduled use of rental items.  Otherwise, the service will be considered received and fulfilled.
