**Travel days:
All required travel days are billed at 25% of our performance day rate. See our current travel day discount and free travel day information detailed above.

Airfare, rental car, ground transportation to and from airports at both ends, airport parking (currently $14 per day), and hotel fees (not covered by show producer) will be billed on a separate invoice following the event. This amount is due upon receipt of invoice.

Billing:
Fifty percent of the entire appearance rate is due upon signing of the contract. (If the show producer cancels following the signing of the contract*, this 50% down will act as a "kill-fee" and is non-refundable.) An invoice for this amount marked paid will be sent to the show producer following signed contract and receipt of check. Additionally, an invoice for balance including per diem charges to be paid at the event will be sent at this time (exclusive of incidentals - see below).
Checks are to be made payable to the order of: Octane Creative, (address on invoice).
*Dates will not be secured until contract is signed.

Sponsorships:
In some media markets a partial sponsorship is available for The Duct Tape Guys through Duck® brand tape. A sponsorship qualification form must be filled out and faxed to Tim Nyberg (see fax line information below). The sponsorship form is available at http://www.ducttapeguys.com/homeshow.
If sponsorship is not available from Duck® brand tape, show producers may seek other sponsorship from any source other than another duct tape company (The Duct Tape Guys hold an exclusivity contract with Duck® brand).
You are free to arrange for other sponsorship, but it can NOT be another duct tape company. We will gladly promote the company/organization that sponsors us at your event (provided, of course, that we do not find such endorsement morally objectionable).

Airline preference:
Because of flight availability, both Jim and Tim prefer Northwest and/or Continental airlines whenever possible. Tim and Jim fly out of Green Bay, Wisconsin. Frequent flyer numbers will be provided upon request.

Car-Travel events:
In the event that a performance is more easily reached by car, mileage reimbursement per mile based on current IRS standard will be invoiced with miscellaneous expenses following the event.

Hotel preferences:
Separate, non-smoking rooms (smoking rooms are not acceptable under any circumstances). Queen or king beds preferred. Hilton properties preferred when possible. High-speed internet access required in both rooms (if not complimentary, will be added to billing). We also encourage you to choose a venue that is within walking distance to the performance venue when possible - this relieves you of the necessity to truck us around.

Rental car preferences:
If a rental car is required (e.g. if no media escort and/or airport transportation is available), National Car Rental is preferred (although not required). The vehicle (midsize or larger) should be reserved in the name of Tim Nyberg (Emerald Club #562035972). Full coverage will be required.

If one of the Duct Tape Guys is unable to fulfill their oblication to entertain at your event, you will have the option of retaining the remaining (available) Duct Tape Guy at half of their performance day rate, or canceling the booking entirely - in which case your deposit will be returned to you in full. Airfare that has been booked is not refundable.

Note: In twelve years of entertaining, we have never had to cancel a performance. We feel responsiblie to provide our clients with everything that they have paid for, and more.

"We appreciate your business and look forward to working with you again and again."
