Common use of Cancellation of Event Clause in Contracts

Cancellation of Event. If for any reason beyond Show Management’s control (e.g., fire, casualty, flood, epidemic, earthquake, explosion, accident, blockage, embargo, inclement weather, governmental restraints, act of public enemy, riot or civil disturbance, impairment or lack of adequate transportation, inability to secure sufficient labor, technical or other personnel, municipal, state or federal laws, or act of God), the Event, or any part thereof, is prevented from being held, interrupted or the Facility becomes unavailable, unfit for occupancy or substantially interfered with, Show Management may postpone as described in Section 16 or cancel the Event. If a cancellation occurs of such event (not a Postponement), Show Management shall not be responsible for delays, damage, loss, increased costs, or other unfavorable conditions arising by virtue thereof, and Exhibitor waives claims for damage arising there from. Upon a cancellation, Show Management may credit or refund to Exhibitor no more than a prorated amount of Exhibitor’s total cost of participation paid after deducting all expenses and reasonable compensation to Event. In no case, shall the amount of any credit or refund exceed Exhibitor’s total cost of participation actually paid.
