TERMS & CONDITIONS
MADMAN LLC, dba Zeno Rossetti, Madman Events, and Madman Cotton Candy (collectively “MADMAN,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). These Fundraising Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) apply to all fundraising collaborations with MADMAN involving shows, live spun cotton candy, and/or pre-packaged cotton candy products. By booking a fundraising show, flat-fee spinning event, or pre-sold cotton candy campaign with MADMAN, you agree to these Terms.
Who We Are
MADMAN LLC operates under the names:
● Zeno Rossetti
● Madman Events
● Madman Cotton Candy
We provide live entertainment, live spun cotton candy, and pre-packaged cotton candy products for events, fundraisers, and campaigns.
Types of Fundraisers We Offer
Show-Based Fundraisers
● Ticket Sales: MADMAN keeps 100% of ticket sales to the show.
● Live Spun Cotton Candy: MADMAN donates 100% of live spun cotton candy sales from the event to the organization.
● Pre-Packaged Products at the Show: Any pre-packaged cotton candy products sold at the show are not included in the live spun donation and are retained by MADMAN unless otherwise agreed in writing.
Pre-Sold Online Orders (Campaigns)
● Customers pre-order cotton candy online through a MADMAN-controlled system that designates your organization as the beneficiary.
● MADMAN donates 20% of gross sales from that campaign back to your organization. (“Gross sales” here means the total before tax and shipping, unless otherwise specified.)
● Donations from pre-sold campaigns are paid within 7 days of delivery of the products (or completion of final deliveries for that campaign).
Flat Fee Spinning Events
● Your organization/event host pays MADMAN a flat fee for on-site spinning services.
● 100% of proceeds from live spun cotton candy sales at that event go directly to the event host/organization.
● If pre-packaged products are also sold at that event, the structure for those sales (who keeps what) will be clearly stated in the Fundraiser Summary.
Booking, Deposits & Payment
Booking
● Fundraiser dates are reserved on a first-come, first-served basis.
● A booking is considered confirmed when MADMAN accepts it in writing and any required deposit is paid.
Deposits
● For spinning-only flat fee fundraising or company events, a $100 deposit is required to reserve MADMAN.
● MADMAN may require deposits for other events as specified in your Fundraiser Summary.
● Deposits are non-refundable, subject to the rescheduling terms below.
Final Payment
Unless otherwise stated in your Fundraiser Summary:
● Flat fee balances are due on or before the event date.
● Any agreed fees due from the organization for show-based events are due on or before the event date.
● Bulk pre-packaged orders tied to a fundraiser are generally due upon delivery or within 7 days of invoice.
MADMAN may accept cash, check, credit/debit cards, or electronic payments as indicated in your invoice or confirmation.
Cancellations & Rescheduling
Cancelling
● Deposits are non-refundable.
● If you cancel later than 7 days prior to your booked date: ○ Your deposit for that date is forfeited for that date,
○ But it may be applied as a credit toward one rescheduled date, subject to MADMAN’s availability.
If MADMAN must cancel due to illness, emergency, or serious cause:
● Any deposit or prepayment received for that event will be refunded, and
● MADMAN will make reasonable efforts to reschedule, but is not liable for indirect losses such as lost fundraising opportunity.
Force Majeure
Neither you nor MADMAN are liable for failure to perform due to events beyond reasonable control (e.g., severe weather, disasters, government restrictions, etc.). In such cases, both parties will work in good faith to reschedule.
Permits & Compliance
Permits
● All required permits, if any, are the responsibility of the event organizer, not MADMAN.
● This includes event permits, fundraising permits, food service permissions, school district approvals, and any charitable registration requirements relevant to your organization.
You are responsible for complying with all rules and regulations that apply to your school, nonprofit, venue, or business.
Perishability, Risk & No Returns
Perishability
Cotton candy is a perishable and delicate product.
● Once products (live spun or pre-packaged) are delivered, handed over, or set up for your event, risk of loss passes to you.
● This includes melting, shrinking, settling, or texture changes due to time, heat, humidity, storage, or handling after delivery.
No Returns
● There is a no returns policy on all products and sales, for health and safety reasons.
Satisfaction Guarantee
● We do guarantee satisfaction at the time of delivery.
● If you see a clear issue with product quality at delivery (e.g., damaged in transit, incorrect order), notify us immediately or within a short, reasonable window stated in your confirmation.
● MADMAN may, at its discretion, offer replacement product, credit, or another remedy.
● After that initial window, and once products are in your control, perishability-related changes are your responsibility.
Event Logistics & Responsibilities
You agree to:
● Provide safe and timely access to the venue for setup and breakdown.
● Provide necessary utilities (e.g., electrical outlets) and reasonable weather protection for outdoor setups.
● Handle crowd management, line organization, and general attendee safety.
● Ensure any volunteers or staff who help with product handling follow basic instructions provided by MADMAN.
MADMAN reserves the right to pause or modify operations if conditions become unsafe.
