These Terms apply in addition to Sections 7 (Assumption of Risk & Liability), 8 (Behavior & Conduct), and 12 (Property Damage), which apply to off-site events as though the Event Site were our property
- Animals remain in our care, custody, and control at all times. At no point does the client, venue, or any guest take possession of, transport, or independently handle our animals

- Our staff remain present and in control of the animal area for the entire event. Unattended "drop-off" animal rentals are not offered under any circumstances

3.2 Booking, Payment & Overtime

- Base pricing covers one (1) hour of guest-facing event time; setup and breakdown are additional and are not counted against your booked time

- Bookings are confirmed only upon receipt of the deposit and a completed event information form specifying the Event Site address, setup area, guest count, and expected age range

3.3 Travel Area & Travel Fees

- Our standard service area is within 30 miles of 8390 Eva Ln, Roseville, CA. Events beyond that radius are quoted individually and may incur additional travel fees, additional staffing charges, or be declined
- Travel time, parking fees, tolls, and any venue-imposed vendor or access fees are the client's responsibility
- Arrival windows are estimates. We are not liable for delays caused by traffic, road closures, weather, vehicle or trailer failure, or venue access problems, and such delays are not grounds for a refund

3.4 Event Site Requirements — Client Responsibilities
The client is solely responsible for providing an Event Site that meets the following minimum conditions. We will confirm requirements with you in advance; you are responsible for verifying them before our arrival.

- Vehicle and trailer access: a legal, unobstructed place to park and maneuver a truck and livestock trailer, with a clear path from parking to the setup area. No stairs, steep grades, or gates narrower than 48 inches along that path
- Setup area: a level, dry area of approximately 15 x 15 feet, free of debris, broken glass, standing water, chemicals, toxic landscaping, sprinkler activation, and hazards
- Surface: grass, dirt, or hard-packed surfaces preferred. Pool decks, interior floors, gym floors, artificial turf, and finished surfaces require advance written approval and may be declined or subject to a surface-protection fee
- Shade and water: shade and access to potable water must be available. From May through September, shade is mandatory and we may decline to set up without it
- Power: access to a standard outlet if requested at booking
- Other animals: all dogs and other pets at the Event Site must be leashed, crated, or fully secured away from the animal area for the entire event, including setup and breakdown. This is non-negotiable; loose dogs are the single most common cause of injury to our animals and we will end an event without refund if it occurs
- Crowd control: the client must keep vehicles, bicycles, motorized equipment, drones, bounce houses, amplified speakers, and fireworks or pyrotechnics clear of the animal area

3.5 Permits, Venue Approval & Insurance

- The client is responsible for obtaining any permits, HOA approvals, park or school district authorizations, venue permissions, or event licenses required to host live animals at the Event Site, and for confirming that animals are permitted at that location
- If the client misrepresents authorization, or if we are denied access, asked to leave, or cited by a venue or authority upon arrival, the booking is treated as a same-day cancellation by the client with no refund
- Certificates of insurance naming a venue, school, or municipality as additional insured are available on request with at least 10 business days' notice and may incur a fee. Requests made with less notice may not be accommodated, and we are not liable if a venue denies access for lack of documentation not timely requested

3.6 Animal Welfare & Our Right to Modify, Shorten, or End an Event
We may modify, pause, shorten, relocate, or end a mobile event at any time, without refund, if in our sole judgment:

- Animal health, safety, or stress levels require it
- Site conditions do not meet Section 3.4, are misrepresented, or deteriorate during the event
- Temperature, air quality, or weather creates risk to animals, staff, or guests
- Guests do not follow staff instructions, or the crowd size materially exceeds the count provided at booking
- Loose animals, alcohol-related conduct, or any other condition presents a hazard
- Animals require rest breaks at our discretion. Guest-facing time may be paused for animal welfare and such pauses do not extend the event or reduce the fee

3.7 Supervision, Hygiene & Guest Conduct at Off-Site Events

- The client is responsible for the conduct of all guests and for ensuring guests follow staff instructions at all times
- Children under 12 require adult supervision within arm's reach during animal interactions. Our staff supervise the animals; they do not supervise guests' children

- The risks described in Section 7.1 apply in full at off-site events, including animal behavior, bites, kicks, scratches, trampling, allergens, and zoonotic disease exposure

- The client represents that the Event Site is suitable and safe for the presence of guests and live animals

3.9 Property Damage, Site Condition & Indemnity

- Animals are live, working farm animals. Manure, urine, hay, feed scatter, hoof marks, and turf wear are normal and expected. We remove solid waste from the animal area at breakdown; we are not responsible for lawn recovery, turf damage, staining, odor, landscaping damage, or restoration of any surface
- Clients with sensitive surfaces should request surface protection at booking. We do not guarantee against damage to pool decks, pavers, artificial turf, sport courts, or finished flooring
- The client is financially responsible for injury to our animals and for damage to our vehicles, trailers, panels, and equipment caused by the client, guests, other vendors, or site conditions
- The client agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Molly's Mini Farm, its owners, employees, and agents from any claims arising out of the Event Site, guest conduct, or the client's failure to obtain required permits or approvals, consistent with Section 15

3.10 Weather & Heat — Mobile Events

- Mobile events are outdoor experiences and are weather-dependent
- We reserve the right to cancel or reschedule for severe weather, extreme heat, poor air quality (including wildfire smoke), or unsafe road conditions.
