This document is a Revocable, Non-Exclusive License Agreement for Food Service Facility operations at judicial buildings, issued by the Judicial Council of California. The agreement establishes the terms and conditions under which a licensee (food service provider) may operate a food service facility within a Superior Court facility. The licensee must obtain and maintain all required permits and licenses prior to commencing operations, including health permits and food service certifications. The license grants the licensee the right to prepare and sell food, beverages, sundries, and related items to court employees, staff, invitees, guests, and members of the public. The agreement specifies that the Judicial Council retains the right to terminate the license with thirty days' written notice, with or without cause, and the licensee may terminate with ninety days' written notice. The license is personal to the licensee and may not be assigned or transferred without prior written consent from the Judicial Council. The term of the license continues until terminated as provided, with no specific initial term length specified in this template document.

Monthly license fee payments are due within thirty days of month-end and should be sent to the Judicial Council's Branch Accounting & Procurement office. A late fee of five percent (5%) of the license fee or $50, whichever is greater, applies to payments received more than ten days late. The licensee is responsible for all operational costs including equipment, supplies, maintenance, repairs, and utilities except for building systems and utilities provided by the Judicial Council. The licensee must maintain minimum operating hours of 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, and comply with all health and safety directives, employment eligibility requirements, background check procedures, and anti-discrimination laws. The licensee is required to maintain comprehensive insurance coverage with minimum limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence for commercial general liability and must indemnify the Judicial Council and State of California against all claims arising from the licensee's operations. The licensee must submit monthly gross receipts reports within thirty days of month-end and annual financial reports within 120 days of the calendar year close, with all accounting records subject to audit by the Judicial Council for a period of four years following the license term.
