Outdoor Engagements
If the act is in direct sunlight, please note this can damage equipment and could prevent performance without covering. It is ultimately the decision of the Company to judge, in good faith, whether or not personal safety or property are threatened or compromised by threatening or inclement weather. If, in the opinion of Company, inclement weather or other adverse conditions arise, Client must provide adequate protection from the elements (i.e. rain, wind and excessive sunlight) via tent or other means. Client is responsible for any damages in any case where Client fails to provide adequate protection for Company’s equipment.
If time permits, engagement can be moved to an alternate location, but performance time as stated on the face of this contract will not be extended to accommodate for a change of venue.
