Specific meeting rooms cannot be guaranteed and are subject to change.
GUARANTEED ATTENDANCE AND MENU SELECTIONS: Though this number will not affect the Agreed Minimum Food and Beverage Revenue figure noted below, the final attendance for your function must be received in writing by the event services office NO LATER THAN 12:00PM, three (3) working days before the date of the function. This will be the number for whom the Hotel will prepare food for the function. The Hotel cannot be responsible for service, accommodations or guaranteeing the same menu items for more than three percent over your guaranteed number of people. If a guarantee is not given to the Hotel by the specified time and date, the original estimated attendance would be considered the final guarantee. Your final menu selections must be made no later than 10 days prior to commencement of your Event. A Banquet Event Order will be sent to you to confirm all final arrangements and prices. If you do not advise Hotel of any corrections or changes to the Banquet Event Order by the date requested by Hotel, the Banquet Event Order will be considered accepted by you as correct. Group will be responsible for the charges listed on the Banquet Event Order or the Agreed Minimum Food and Beverage Revenue figure, whichever is greater, plus applicable tax and service charges. Diagrams and identification of the Hotel’s meeting space to be used for your Event may not be disseminated by the Group without the Hotel’s prior approval.
SERVICE CHARGE: A service charge of 25% (or the current service charge in effect on the day of the Event) will be assessed on all charges relating to your Event including, but not limited to, food and beverage, audio visual, connectivity, meeting room rental, labor fees and any other charges relating to your Event, plus any applicable state and/or local taxes. This service charge is not a gratuity and is the property of Hotel to cover discretionary and administrative costs of the Event. We will endeavor to notify you in advance of your Event of any increases to the service charge should different amounts be in effect on the day of your Event.
AGREED MINIMUM ROOM NIGHT REVENUE: Based on the Total Contracted Rooms and the stated rates, the “Agreed Minimum Room Night Revenue” is $2,780.00.
AGREED MINIMUM FOOD AND BEVERAGE REVENUE: Based on the above Schedule of Events, the “Agreed Minimum Food and Beverage Revenue” is $2,500.00. This amount does not include applicable room rental $600.00, service charges, or taxes, if applicable, which are noted separately herein, and any additional requested function space or food and beverage shall be extra. If the Agreed Minimum Food and Beverage Revenue Figure is not met, any balance will be posted as a food and beverage attrition charge to your Master Account, plus applicable taxes and service charges.
ROOM BLOCK AND SERVICES COMMITMENT: When you contract for a block of rooms and meeting facilities and for food and beverage services, those room nights, facilities and services are removed from our inventory and considered sold to you, and the Hotel makes financial plans based upon the revenues it expects to achieve from your full performance of this Agreement. It is impossible for the Hotel to know in advance whether or under what circumstances or at what rates it would be able to resell your contracted room nights, services or facilities if you do not use them, either as the result of a cancellation of your Event (“cancellation”) or as the result of usage of less than your Total Contracted Rooms and/or contracted food and beverage services for the above Schedule of Events ("attrition"). In most instances, when groups do not use their contracted room nights or services, the Hotel is unable to resell those room nights or services and even when room nights or services are resold, they are generally not resold at the same rates, may be resold to groups which would have utilized the Hotel at another time, are resold to groups that do have the same needs as the original group, etc. Even when rooms or services may be resold, it is costly to re-market the rooms and facilities, and such efforts divert the attention of our sales staff from selling the Hotel’s rooms and facilities for other times. While your Room Block has been held out of our inventory, we may have turned away more lucrative groups in order to meet our commitment to you.
For all these reasons and others, the Parties agree that in the event of cancellation or attrition, the following charges, which represent a reasonable effort on behalf of the Hotel to establish its loss prospectively, shall be due as liquidated damages. Because the Hotel reasonably expects to derive revenue from your Event above and beyond the revenue derived from the provision of room nights and food and beverage services, and because it is difficult to estimate the actual revenue which may be derived from your Event, the amounts due as and for liquidated damages are intended to compensate the Hotel for all of its losses associated with cancellation and/or attrition.
ATTRITION: We agree to allow for a 20% reduction from the Agreed Minimum Room Night Revenue, (“Permitted Attrition”). At the conclusion of your Event, we will credit against the Agreed Minimum Room Night Revenue the guest room revenue derived from your Event and also credit any Permitted Attrition. Any balance will be posted as a charge to your Master Account, plus applicable taxes and service charges.
CANCELLATION: It is understood that Hotel loses substantial revenue upon the Group’s cancellation of an event. The amount of those losses is often difficult or impossible to determine. Hotel has set forth the following fee schedule in the event of cancellation. The parties agree that these fees are a fair and reasonable estimation of Hotel’s loss as a result of cancellation. Group shall pay the cancellation fee as liquidated damages, plus applicable taxes, if Group cancels or is deemed to have cancelled the Event.
If any single function is cancelled, the Group is responsible for the meeting room rental and any other applicable charges associated with that function. The Group is still expected to meet the Agreed Minimum Food and Beverage Revenue. Group agrees to notify Hotel in writing within five (5) business days of any decision to cancel. If the entire Event is cancelled Group agrees to pay Hotel, as follows:
CANCELLATION FEES:
Cancellation Fee is based on Agreed Minimum Room Night Revenue and Agreed Minimum Food and Beverage Revenue, all other applicable Event charges (e.g., setup charges, audio visual charges, etc.), service charges plus applicable taxes.
Cancelled within 90 days prior to arrival 90% of total amount, plus applicable taxes
Your written notice of cancellation must be delivered to Hotel, and may be made by facsimile or electronic transmission. Cancellation date will be considered the date such notification was received by Hotel. Liquidated damages resulting from cancellation shall be due and payable at the time of cancellation.
FORCE MAJEURE: No damages from either Party shall be due for a failure of performance due to Acts of God, war, terrorist act, riots, disaster or strikes, any one of which, to the extent, making performance impossible. Moreover, it will be considered a Force Majeure event if, within sixty days in advance of the scheduled event, the World Health Organization declares a pandemic, as the World Health Organization defines that term (or a previous such declaration remains in place), and as a result a government entity (other than Group or its affiliates in the case of a cancellation by Group) imposes a travel ban, or attendance ban for the location of the event that has the effect of prohibiting attendance at the event or use of the hotel facilities. In the case of a Force Majeure event, the non-performing party may terminate this Agreement, without liability, upon written notification. The Hotel shall have no liability for power disruptions of any kind.
DEPOSIT AND PAYMENT REQUIREMENTS: U3363 If you wish to apply for credit, please complete the enclosed direct bill application form and return it with the signed Agreement. Unless prohibited by law, a 2.5% processing fee will apply to all credit card payments.
Please note that any credit approvals will expire after 12 months. In addition, Hotel reserves the right to withdraw a prior credit approval if Group fails to pay in full charges associated with any prior event at the Hotel or any other hotel owned or operated by Atrium Hospitality or its affiliates, or if there is any material adverse change in Group’s credit standing. If credit approval is withdrawn or expires, Group must make deposit payments in accordance with the below schedule, with Group paying any previously scheduled deposit amounts by the earlier of (A) five (5) days after the Hotel notifies Group of the withdrawal or expiration of credit, or (B) three (3) days prior to the date of the Event.
If credit is not established in advance by Group with Hotel and maintained, you must make deposit payments in accordance with the below payment schedule. If credit is approved only in part, credit will apply only with respect to the last deposits to be made up to the extent of the approval and all prior deposits (and any balance on any deposit for which partial credit is established) must be made in accordance with the below schedule. All deposits will be credited to Group’s Master Account.

Hotel may adjust the authorization if anticipated charges change or if credit approval status changes.

Embassy Suites by Hilton Lincoln Attention: Accounting Department 1040 P Street Lincoln, NE 68508
FRAUD ALERT: For remote payments the Hotel currently uses the Sertifi platform, which is the same platform that was used for transmitting this Agreement. Sertifi allows you to pay by credit card or ACH. You are responsible for ensuring that all payments are correctly made to the Hotel by using the Sertifi platform (or by paying in person at the Hotel). If at any time you receive credit card payment instructions that direct you to pay outside of the Sertifi platform, even if the same appear to be legitimate, you must verify the same by either calling the hotel accounting office using a trusted known or independently verified phone number, or by personally meeting with the Hotel accounting office.
For payment by wire transfer, the Hotel’s current bank wire instructions have been sent along with the Hotel Agreement through Sertifi. You are responsible for ensuring any wire is sent to the correct account. If you receive wire instructions not sent through Sertifi at any time, even if the same appear to be sent by the Hotel, you must verify the same by calling the hotel accounting office using a trusted known or independently verified phone number.
If any deposit payment is not made when due, Hotel may, at its option, deem the Event to be canceled, in which case cancellation charges will apply as noted above and the Hotel will retain any deposits on hand and apply them to the cancellation charges.
In addition to any other amounts authorized by this Agreement, the following items shall be charged to the Master Account: guest rooms, incidentals, self parking, banquet food and beverage charges, service charges, attrition charges, meeting space rental charges, cancellation charges, audio-visual charges and any other charges billed to the Master Account at the request of the authorized representative of the Group, as designated by the Group in advance of the Event, plus applicable taxes and governmental charges. Group further agrees that all charges associated with use of the grounds, function space, facilities and services of the Hotel by its vendors shall be posted to the Master Account.
During the course of your Event, we would be pleased to meet with you each day at a mutually agreed upon time to review the charges applied to your Master Account and to keep it accurate and up to date. Please inform your Event Services Manager of a convenient time that you wish to establish for a daily meeting.
If credit was not established and maintained, any Master Account balance is due at the conclusion of the Event. Where credit was established and maintained, the Master Account balance will be invoiced to the Group within 10 days after the Event concludes and shall be due and payable by Group within 10 days after the date of invoice. Master Account charges may be paid in the form of a check or bank transfer. All deposits, balances or charges not paid when due will bear interest at the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum rate permitted by law. Should the Hotel, in its sole discretion, deem collection action necessary in regard to any amounts payable by Group under this Agreement, all costs associated with that collection action, including reasonable attorney’s fees, shall be payable by Group and may be posted to the Master Account.
Individual guest accounts are paid via the credit card provided by the guest at check-in.
TAX EXEMPT STATUS: If Group maintains a tax-exempt status, Hotel must be provided with a valid exemption certificate no later than thirty (30) days prior to Group’s arrival in order to be exempt from taxes. Please note, tax exempt status pertains to the Master Account only. Individual attendees are not tax exempt. Tax exempt status applies to sales tax only; other taxes may apply.

If Hotel authorizes any unaffiliated subcontractor, service provider, or third party to process personal information of Group, Hotel shall enter into contractual provisions so that such subcontractor, service provider, or third party is a “service provider” as defined in the CCPA and not a “third party” as defined in the CCPA. As described in our privacy policy, as we buy or sell businesses or assets confidential customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets. In the event of a transaction involving the sale of some or all of our businesses, customer and site visitor information may be one of the transferred assets and may be disclosed in connection with negotiations relating to a proposed transaction. In such case, the transferred information may become subject to a different privacy notice.
18. COVID-19 DISCLOSURE. An inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 or other infectious diseases exists in any public space where other people are present. We encourage Group to establish appropriate protocols for its attendees consistent with CDC guidelines and recommendations, including directing attendees who are feeling ill or otherwise symptomatic to not attend.
