Under no circumstances will a refund be made if cancellation occurs after November 16, 2009. If the Show is canceled or postponed by reasons of an Act of God, catastrophe, or other occurrence beyond the control of Show Management, exhibitor shall be refunded that portion of its payment which has been made for the Show.
