We will not be liable for any refund, in part or whole, where we are late accessing the venue and setting up because of earlier events over-running, or where we are prevented from accessing, setting up or providing our professional services by the venue management. Neither will we be obligated to provide an extension to the agreed timescale on a pro rata basis in these circumstances.
