In the event of a change in circumstances unforeseeable at the time the contract was signed, rendering its execution excessively expensive for the Organiser (“Unforeseen Event"), including if there is an increase of over 20% in the cost of organising or holding the Show, as evidenced by a certificate from a chartered accountant or auditor, the Organiser may, after notifying the Direct Exhibitor promptly by any means, without this giving rise to a claim for compensation or indemnity: • enter into discussions with the Direct Exhibitor in view of renegotiating the fee for participating in the Show and/or any sum owed by the Direct Exhibitor in respect of participation in the Show (registration fee, Site provision costs, etc.); • failing an agreement with the Direct Exhibitor within 15 days of the Organiser’s notification of the Unforeseen Event to the Direct Exhibitor; this period may be reduced by the Organiser if there is an emergency (in particular if the Unforeseen Event occurs less than 2 months before the start date of the Show): o modify the material conditions for organising the Show as initially planned, including the date, location, duration and times of the Show (extension or early closure of the Show, adaptation to circumstances of the conditions in which customers and visitors are received or in which equipment is displayed, etc.); o modify the pricing conditions for participation in the Show, including increasing the cost of participation in the Show and/or any sums due by the Direct Exhibitor for participation in the Show (registration fees, Site provision costs, etc.) mutatis mutandis in line with the extra costs borne by the Organiser, as certified by the auditor (e.g. a 25% increase in its costs will entail a 25% increase in prices); o cancel all or part of the Direct Exhibitor's participation in the Show; o cancel all or part of the Show, including applications accepted by the Organiser and the allocation of Sites.
