CLASS RENTAL POLICIES

Instructors are required to adhere to the policies on this webpage and within the Rental Agreement.

1) Insurance Requirement

SCCC requires liability insurance for all classes and Instructors. The policy must name the City of Sebastopol and Sebastopol Community Cultural Center as additional insured with $1,000,000 liability.

If you have substitute Instructors for your class, SCCC must be notified, provided with their contact information, and they must also adhere to all SCCC policies and insurance requirements.

Please refer to the document below for full details.

2) Reservation Accommodations

Room assignments will be made based on suitability and availability. Any change in room assignment before or during the reservation period may be made at SCCC’s discretion for any reason, including the accommodation of SCCC scheduling needs. SCCC will make good faith efforts to inform the Instructor as soon as possible of room assignment changes, so as to reduce inconvenience to Instructor and participants. If SCCC is unable to accommodate the displaced class, Instructor will be credited for any class meetings cancelled by SCCC to accommodate SCCC scheduling needs.

3) Non-Use Policy

Rental fees apply for times and days a room is reserved for an Instructor, regardless of the class being held.

In the case where cancellation is out of your control because SCCC has closed the facility (i.e., Sonoma County mandates a lockdown or there is a natural disaster), Instructor will not be responsible for the payment of fees due for the days impacted by those closures.

4) Class Meeting Cancellation

In case of emergency or illness THE INSTRUCTOR must inform all students and SCCC of the cancellation.

No unauthorized users: Instructors are not allowed to substitute another person as instructor without notification of, and approval by, the Programs & Events Manager. Please remember that all substitutes are also required to provide liability insurance which meets all requirements described above.

5) Rental Reservation Cancellation

If a rental reservation, or portion of a reservation (e.g. 2 weeks of a 4-month reservation), is cancelled less than 30 days prior to the reserved date(s), a $25.00 non-refundable cancellation fee will be due to SCCC.

6) Room Policies

Class spaces at SCCC are limited. SCCC assigns rooms and reserves the right to make room changes whenever necessary. Instructors must be respectful and considerate of other instructors by leaving the class space clean, orderly, and in a timely manner. Any complaints about the class space should be directed to SCCC staff.
