The meeting room and rest rooms must be left in a neat and clean condition after each use.
Equipment belonging to the building may not be used unless so specified in the application for building use.
Nothing may be taken from the building without the prior consent of the Superintendent of Parks.
All decorations shall be flameproof in accordance with the State Fire Code. In arranging, decorations, nails and other materials harmful to the finish of the building shall not be used.
It is your responsibility to set up chairs and tables if you need them, and take them down and put them away when you are finished. If you wish help with this, you may make arrangements with the custodian.
The renter agrees to assume responsibility for any damage incurred to the building, equipment or grounds during their use by those the function brings into the building.
Rental fees shall be charged for any activity which involves an admission charge and for all individuals and organizations except town committees. Any appeal from payment of fee shall be made to the Board of Selectmen.
A cleaning fee of fifty dollars ($50.) will be assessed to groups which leave the hall in a condition which is less clean than prior to use, per vote of the Selectmen.
On weekends when the custodian is not on duty, the renter is responsible for picking up a key from the Police Department, letting themselves into the building and locking up when finished. There is a deposit of five dollars ($5.) for the key, which will be returned to you when the key is returned to us.

The holder of a permit to use the town facilities agrees to accept all equipment and property as is and waives any and all claims against the Orleans Board of Selectmen, its members, employees and agents for any injury, accident, illness, expense or claim of damage of any kind whether to persons or to property which may occur as a result of the use of town facilities by said holder or by others under its express, implied or apparent authority. The holder of a permit further agrees to assume all liability and to indemnify and hold harmless the Board of Selectmen, its members, employees and agents for any and all claims, liabilities or expenses of any kind whether for injuries to persons or damage to the buildings, equipment or other property arising out of the use of town facilities by the said holder or by others under its express, implied or apparent authority. The above waiver, assumption of liability and indemnification shall be effective and binding, notwithstanding that the condition of the facilities may have caused or contributed to the injury, damage, expense or claim.
