Event Cancellation Policy – Important Information for Attendees

Any cancellation notices from the Client must be received by the Consultant in writing.

If Consultant receives a notice of cancellation from Client 61 or more calendar days prior to the date of event, Consultant shall return the entire Deposit to the Client.

If Consultant receives a notice of cancellation from Client between 15 to 60 calendar days of the event, and an agreeable alternative date cannot be scheduled by the Parties, the Client will pay a cancellation fee to Consultant equal to 50% of the Compensation indicated on the invoice total in addition to any travel or other non-refundable costs incurred by Consultant.

If Consultant receives a notice of cancellation from Client within 14 days of the event, the Client will be charged and pay the full amount for the event listed on the Proposal. Cancellation fees are not a penalty and are a reasonable estimate of Consultant’s damages if Client terminates this Agreement prior to the event listed in the Proposal.  It is impossible to determine Consultant’s damages should Client terminate this Agreement prior to the event listed in the Proposal so the Parties understand that a cancellation fee constitutes liquidated damages to Consultant and represents a fair and reasonable estimate of Consultant’s losses that may be reasonably anticipated.

Cancellations initiated by TSS are eligible for full refund of the Deposit and returned within ten days of notice to the Client. TSS reserves the right to cancel speaking engagements at any time for any reason.

Any cancellation by either Party shall not be considered a breach of this Agreement if such cancellation is caused by circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the Party affected, including, but not limited to, acts of God, fire, flood, labor strikes, riots, wars, civil disorder, pandemic, government order, wildfire, earthquake, and terrorism. If a force majeure event makes it impossible for the Agreement to be fulfilled, TSS shall be entitled to retain the deposit but shall not be entitled to the full payment, regardless of which Party is affected by the force majeure.
