"We sometimes bring in our own AV company, so the (requirement to use inhouse AV) is a deal killer for us," said Allergan's Henry. "It is similar to paying corkage fees. I don't like being nickeled and dimed. I am finding a lot of hidden fees." |
Did you know you DON'T have to use In-House for your next event? |
EVERYTHING IS NEGOTIABLE EXCEPT GOOD SERVICE |
CLAUSE: Group will not be required to use Facility's in-house, exclusive, or preferred contractors or vendors for services such as audiovisual, security, exhibition services, and similar types of goods and services. If Group brings in outside contractors, Group will not be required to pay surcharges for use of outside contractors, nor will Group be required to pay Facility's employees or agents to supervise outside contractors. |
On the other hand, some planners feel that being required to use these vendors drives up the cost of services and increases the risk of poor service because of the lack of competition. A clause (such as the one to the right) preserves planners' right to shop around for the best price and service. This clause can be customized to exclude facility services restricted or reserved by union or other contracts. Tyra W. Hilliard, CMP |
