Terms of Service
Last updated: March 5, 2026
Services
Elite Personal Chefs provides private chef services including private events, meal prep, catering, trade shows, consulting, and related culinary services. All services are subject to availability and confirmation by our team.
Booking & Deposits
A deposit is required to confirm your booking. The deposit amount varies by service type and will be outlined in your proposal. Deposits are applied toward your final balance. The remaining balance is due on the day of service or upon completion.
Cancellation Policy
Cancellation timelines are measured from the scheduled service date:
- 90+ days before service: Full refund of deposit.
- 30–90 days before service: Refund minus a 5% administrative fee.
- 2–30 days before service: Deposit is non-refundable.
- Less than 48 hours before service: Full payment is due.
Please contact us as soon as possible if you need to reschedule. We will make every effort to accommodate changes.
Non-Solicitation
Clients agree not to directly solicit, hire, or engage any Elite Personal Chefs professional for services outside of the EPC platform for a period of 24 months following the last service rendered. Violation of this clause may result in a fee equal to 10 times the contracted rate.
Late Payments
Outstanding balances not paid within 7 days of the service date may be subject to a late fee of 3% per day until the balance is settled in full.
Liability
Elite Personal Chefs carries appropriate insurance for our services. Clients are responsible for disclosing all food allergies and dietary restrictions prior to the event. While we take every precaution, we cannot guarantee a completely allergen-free environment in home kitchens. Liability is limited to the aggregate amount paid for the service.
Changes to Terms
We reserve the right to update these terms at any time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
