Important Information Regarding Covid-19 and Contracts
In the event that an event or service needed to be cancelled or postponed due to Covid-19, and penalty fees are to be assessed, please refer to the following language from our General Council to enforce the "force majure" clause in our contracts:
As a result of this international crisis and in response to recommended mitigation measures, the California State University has suspended all non-essential travel and cancelled our events, including those scheduled at [location] from [dates]. The contract allows us to terminate for cause in the event of “acts of God, war, government regulation, terrorism, disaster, strikes, civil disorder, curtailment of transportation facilities, or any other emergency of a comparable nature beyond the party's control that in each case make it illegal or impossible to perform its obligations under this Agreement. We are exercising our right to terminate the contract for cause as a result of this national emergency. Please confirm that the your organization will refund all deposits and/or prepayments made by the CSU per the terms of the contract.
