EIA Cancellation

All monies paid will be credited to the Client’s account for use at another date and time. No Cash or Credit Card Refund Is Available.

Government Cancellation

If the event is canceled due to governmental requirements either by local, state, or federal mandates, that specifically restrict EIA’s ability to materially provide services due to impossibilities, the Client may reschedule without penalty and without 30-day notice to EIA and all money will be credited to the clients’ account. Cancellation must be due to a mandate that affects EIA and Client locally and not due to outside factors that do not directly relate to an official mandate. This includes but is not limited to weather, travel restrictions, accommodations, guests not attending due to choice. If Austin is not affected by a shutdown mandate this clause will not apply.

Force Majeure

Event Delays

If the Client directly or indirectly causes an Event delay of 30 minutes or more, a $200.00 delay fee will apply, assuming EIA determines that it is able and willing to go forward with the Event.
