I hired a PR company to organize an event for me and signed a contract with them. They threw an event and I was unhappy with the results and do not believe they gave me the outcome I wanted out of the event. We agreed that the event would be free and all I would have to do is ensure the bar made $1000. At the end of the night I was told that the bar made around $1200 and I would have to pay 20% or $200 of that as a tip. I refused to. This was not agreed upon beforehand I was told to tip and I tipped $60 even though people who bought drinks tipped the bartenders throughout the night. later they billed me and said that I had to pay their expenses which totaled $210 (which included $150 the remainder of the tip they claimed to have paid, which I refused to pay).
The contract states
"Expenses. During the term of this Agreement, {company deleted} shall bill and Client shall reimburse {company deleted} for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses which are incurred in connection with the performance of the Services hereunder. {company deleted} shall provide an invoice for such expenses at the end of each calendar month. Client agrees to pay such invoice within seven (7) calendar days of receipt. {company deleted} reserves the right to arrange for any expenses that are anticipated to be over $100.00 (one hundred dollars) to be billed directly to Client, unless the Parties agree to other arrangements. {company deleted} will seek Client's approval for any such expenses before incurring such expenses."
Am I liable?
