Cancellation Conditions
Client Cancellation
If Client chooses to cancel an event with EIA, Client must provide a 30 day written notice of intent to cancel. Emails are an acceptable form of notification. TEXT IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE FORM OF CANCELLATION.
EIA Cancellation
If circumstances leave EIA unable to provide services due to weather, or any act or situation that is out of EIA’s direct control, the Client event may be canceled by EIA. 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
EIA will not be liable or responsible to Client, nor be deemed to have defaulted or breached this Agreement, for any failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of ANY Agreement when and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by or results from acts or circumstances beyond the reasonable control of EIA including, without limitation, acts of God, pandemic, epidemic, or quarantine, flood, fire, earthquake, explosion, governmental actions, war, invasion or hostilities (whether war is declared or not), terrorist threats or acts riot, or other civil unrest, national emergency, revolution, insurrection, lock-outs, strikes or other labor disputes (whether or not relating to either party’s workforce), or restraints or delays affecting carriers or inability or delay in obtaining supplies of adequate or suitable materials, or telecommunication breakdown or power outage (“Force Majeure Event”).
