Frequently asked questions

What clauses should an event contract include?

The essential clauses are: a detailed description of the services, dates and locations, fees and payment terms, a cancellation policy with penalties, a force majeure clause, liability for damage, intellectual property and the governing law and jurisdiction.

How do you protect yourself legally when organizing events?

Use written contracts with every supplier and client, take out event insurance that covers public liability, obtain all the necessary permits, check the venue's safety requirements and keep records of all communications.

What happens if an event is canceled due to force majeure?

A force majeure clause releases the parties from their contractual obligations when unforeseeable, extraordinary events occur (natural disasters, pandemics, public order measures). Always state in the contract what counts as force majeure and how refunds are handled.
