5. Customer Cancellation
If a customer needs to cancel an event, the customer should notify Bluebird Meadows as soon as possible in writing.

SECURITY DEPOSIT
Refundable (and potentially fully/partially forfeitable) security deposit: $750, due with the half-down balance on

property/material removal; unauthorized overtime; additional rental charges; venue rule violations; unauthorized alcohol-related
costs; missing/damaged equipment; costs caused by vendors or guests; repair/restoration costs; and any other amounts for which the renter is responsible. Any remaining balance will be returned within a reasonable period after the event once Venue Owner determines no additional charges are due.
Renter cancellation, refund, forfeiture, and rescheduling rights are governed by Exhibit C. Renter acknowledges cancellation may cause Venue Owner to lose another rental opportunity. The Exhibit C amounts are agreed treatment of cancellation-related losses and administrative costs and are not intended as a penalty.
Venue Owner may cancel or postpone an event when circumstances beyond its reasonable control make the event unsafe,
unlawful, impossible, or impractical, including fire, flood, severe weather, natural disaster, government order, utility failure,

7. Venue Cancellation
In unusual circumstances, Bluebird Meadows may need to cancel or discontinue an event due to circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including severe weather, natural disasters, fire, unsafe conditions, governmental restrictions, emergency situations, or other circumstances that make hosting the event impractical or unsafe.
The rights of the customer and Bluebird Meadows in such circumstances will be determined by the applicable event agreement and applicable law.
8. Weather
Because Bluebird Meadows may offer outdoor event spaces, weather conditions may affect an event.
