In-Person Organizing Client Agreement – Please Read and Complete Form Below

 Organizing Sessions: Each session has a three-hour minimum unless otherwise agreed upon at time of booking. Organizing sessions require the participation of the Client, unless otherwise agreed. Clients should make arrangements for handling calls, visitors, childcare, pets, etc. in order to fully focus on the session. CGO will not call to confirm sessions. Clients should remove and secure firearms from work areas. During a session, the Client may be asked to personally handle their own items, such as jewelry, valuable collections, or medication.

Rates: The rate for this client is $90/hour. Hourly rates are rounded to the next half hour increment. CGO establishes rates unique to each client, based on a variety of factors, and is subject to change if factors or project scope change from initial consultation, or if CGO sets a new fee structure in the future. 

Cancellations: KV/CGO requires 48 hours’ notice of cancellation, with confirmed receipt. KV/CGO will not call to confirm sessions. These fees must be paid in full prior to any new appointments. Fees may be waived at the sole discretion of KV/CGO.

• Less than 24 hours: 50% of the fee for time booked, minimum 3 hours, will be due. It is understood that emergencies come up, and consideration will be given when conditions are out of the Client’s control and considerations may be made.
• If KV/CGO arrives for an appointment but the Client cannot work, the full fee for the session will be charged, minimum 3 hours.
• Both parties agree that travel during inclement weather for client appointments this event would not be advised for either party. In the event that the inclement weather is anticipated KV/CGO and the Client will confirm 24 hours prior to the event to discuss plans.
• Additionally, if KV/CGO is ill or otherwise impaired, to the point that it would meaningfully impact the session, cancellation may also occur, and again, 24 hours’ notice, whenever possible, will be given.

Travel Considerations:  CGO will travel the shorter of 20 miles or 30 minutes each way without charge. Travel time above that may be charged at 50% the hourly rate and may include tolls. Parking fees will apply when free parking is not available/convenient.
