When a force of nature like Sandy happens, it makes you sitback and take a look at how we operate under such situations. As a planner youalways know to have a plan A, B and C. How many of us actually do that, andwould something like Sandy fit in to any one of those plans?
The most important clause for any planner is the ForceMajeure or Acts of God clause. It is usually at the end of our contracts –check venue and vendor contracts and you should see it. The clause basically statesthat failure to perform or carry out the duties specified in the contractcannot be held against you if caused by a Force Majeure. Sandy qualifies as anAct of God. And if you had an event planned on the East Coast last week – oreven in the upcoming weeks, you can expect some of your vendors to pull out oftheir contracts using that clause.
So, you know you have the clause. What Happens Next? Here isa great piece on Force Majeure by The Law for Creatives. Read it as it will tell you how you can use it to help yourbusiness. Don’t get caught out by not having the clause, but most importantlymake sure that you stipulate exactly what happens if a Force Majeure happens.You don’t want to be left paying your vendors out of pocket.
