The agreement between you and Heavy Pour when you use our website or book our services.

Last updated: October 5, 2026

Agreement to terms

By accessing heavypourbar.com or engaging Heavy Pour LLC ("Heavy Pour," "we," "us") for services, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you don't agree, please don't use the site or our services.

Our services — dry-hire model

Heavy Pour provides dry-hire mobile bartending. We supply the bar, professional bartenders, glassware, ice, mixers, garnishes, and equipment. The client is responsible for purchasing and supplying all alcohol consumed at the event. We do not sell, resell, or provide alcohol. All alcohol remains the property of the client at all times.

Bookings and payment

  • A signed service agreement and a non-refundable deposit are required to reserve your event date.
  • The remaining balance is due before service begins, per the terms in your service agreement.
  • Final guest counts and event details must be confirmed at least 14 days before the event.
  • Pricing is based on the details provided. Significant changes (extended hours, additional staff, expanded scope) may result in additional fees.

Cancellations and rescheduling

Deposits are non-refundable. If you need to cancel or reschedule, contact us as soon as possible. Specific cancellation and rescheduling terms are detailed in your individual service agreement. Heavy Pour reserves the right to cancel service in cases of safety concerns, weather emergencies, or breach of these terms — in which case any unused portion of payments will be refunded at our discretion.

Client responsibilities

  • Purchase and supply all alcohol for the event, per the recommendations we provide.
  • Provide a level, accessible setup area appropriate for the bar (paved surface or firm ground for the trailer; for Bartending Service, room to work behind the bar you or your venue provide).
  • Provide access to a standard 110V outlet within reach of the setup area.
  • Ensure all guests served are 21 years of age or older and present valid ID upon request.
  • Communicate any venue rules, restrictions, or required permits in advance.

Service standards and refusal

Our bartenders are trained to serve responsibly. We reserve the right to refuse service to any guest who appears intoxicated, cannot produce valid ID, or is otherwise unable to consume alcohol safely. We may pause or end service early if safety becomes a concern. These actions do not entitle the client to a refund.

Insurance and liability

Heavy Pour carries $1,000,000 in liquor liability insurance. We are not responsible for damages, injuries, or losses caused by guest behavior, venue conditions outside our control, weather, or other circumstances beyond our reasonable control. To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim arising from your event is limited to the amount paid by the client for the specific event in question.

Property and damages

The client is responsible for any damage to Heavy Pour's bar, equipment, glassware, or property caused by guests, venue conditions, or third parties. Damages will be invoiced separately based on repair or replacement cost.

Photography

Heavy Pour may take photos and video at events for portfolio, marketing, and social media use. Photography focuses on the bar, cocktails, and ambiance — not identifiable guests in close-up. If you'd prefer we not photograph your event, let us know in writing before the event date.

Text messaging terms (SMS)

Program. Heavy Pour Event Updates is the text-messaging program of Heavy Pour LLC. When you opt in, we text the mobile number you provided about your inquiry and event: replies and follow-ups to a quote you requested, booking confirmations, proposal and payment links and reminders, and event details such as arrival time, setup logistics, and your alcohol shopping list. We do not send promotional or marketing texts through this program.

Opting in. You opt in by ticking the text-message consent box on our contact or booking form, or by asking us (in writing or by phone) to text you. Consent is optional and is not a condition of booking or of any purchase.

  • Message frequency varies with your event — typically a handful of messages from inquiry through event day.
  • Message and data rates may apply, depending on your mobile plan.
  • Reply STOP at any time to opt out. You will receive one message confirming you have been unsubscribed, and no further texts. Reply START to opt back in.
  • Reply HELP for help, or contact us at info@heavypourbar.com or (380) 246-1430.
  • Mobile carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
  • You confirm that you are the subscriber or customary user of the number you provide and are at least 18 years old.

We never sell or share mobile numbers or text-messaging consent with third parties or affiliates for marketing purposes. See the Text messaging section of our Privacy Policy for how your mobile information is handled.
