NB: If another venue can host the performance in the allocated time, but no agreement of postponing the event could be found, the performance shall be canceled, and the Client fully reimbursed.

All force majeure events shall be examined and justified by one or the other parties in order to verify that it is indeed a case of force majeure. If the case is proven, any expenses, prior to the performance, invested by either party shall not give rise to any reimbursement.

-Up to 12 months, from the date of the event: 10% of the total amount in the invoice shall be kept.
