  7. The CLIENT first agrees to Fresh Entertainments’ terms and conditions by paying the reservation fee.  By completing the booking form, paying the reservation fee and signing the subsequent Adobe E-sign contract sent to you electronically, you, the CLIENT, acknowledge that you have read and agreed to Fresh Entertainments’ terms & conditions.
