Cancellation of Event Subject to the termination provisions contained herein, if Emerald cancels the Event in advance of the start of the Event for reasons other than force majeure, Emerald shall refund to Exhibitor its booth space rental payment previously paid (less Exhibitor’s pro rata share of all costs and expenses incurred and committed by Emerald in the case of cancellation due to circumstances outside of Emerald’s control) in full satisfaction of all liabilities of Emerald and Facility to Exhibitor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Emerald, using its sole discretion, may cancel the Event in advance of the start of, or during, the Event for the safety and security of the Event participants without an obligation to refund any payments made by Exhibitor. If such cancellation is the result of force majeure for which Emerald recovers insurance proceeds, Emerald will offer, in any manner in Emerald’s sole discretion, all such proceeds for the benefit of Event exhibitors. Under all circumstances, Emerald reserves the right to postpone, rename or relocate the Event or change the Event dates. If Emerald changes the name of the Event, relocates the Event to another facility within the same geographic area, or changes the Event dates to dates that are not more than 30 days earlier or 30 days later, no refund will be due to Exhibitor, and Emerald shall assign to Exhibitor, in lieu of the original space, other space as Emerald reasonably deems appropriate, and Exhibitor agrees to accept such space under the terms of this Agreement.
