Each Guest further agrees that, pursuant to the provisions of the Club Med responsibility Clause, Classic Travel and Local Knowledge, as exclusive charterers of the Turkoise Resort, are included within the term “Club Med” in the Club Med Responsibility Clause and that Classic Travel and Local Knowledge shall be entitled to the benefit of all rights, terms, conditions, and limitations granted Club Med there under as a charterer of the resort as though Classic Travel and Local Knowledge were specifically named therein.
5. Breach or Cancellation by Performing Artist
Local Knowledge has entered into an agreement with the performing artists at the BHTM T&C Event to perform in accordance with terms specified therein. However, neither Classic Travel, Local Knowledge, nor Club Med shall be liable or responsible for failure of any artist or musician to appear or to perform under its agreement. Further, neither Classic Travel, Local Knowledge, nor Club Med shall be liable or responsible for any loss, damage, cost, or expense of any kind to any Guest or any other person or entity in the event that such performance is prevented or such loss, damage, cost, or expense is caused by or results directly or indirectly from any act of God, war, fire, collision, directions of underwriters, arrest, order or restraint by any government agency or official acting under color of authority, acts of terrorism, labor disturbances or disputes, civil commotion, weather conditions and considerations of the safety, illness, death of a family member or other cause or circumstance beyond Classic Travel's nor Local Knowledge's reasonable control. In the event of any failure of contracted artists to perform during the Event, Classic Travel and Local Knowledge, in their sole discretion, may engage a replacement artist or artists, or may change, postpone or terminate all or any part of the Event or the entertainment program or change the program. In such case, Classic Travel nor Local Knowledge, shall have no liability to any Guest for any loss, damage, and cost or expense whatsoever by reason of such change.
In any other case including without limitation any breach of contract or failure to perform by any artist or musician, Guest, Classic Travel, and Local Knowledge acknowledge that Guest’s actual losses arising from such breach, cancellation or termination would be difficult if not impossible to calculate at the time of entry into this Agreement. A number of factors contribute to these uncertainties including without limitation the fact that Guest has engaged in attendance at Event and other substitute entertainment will be provided for Guest’s enjoyment and the difficulty of arranging substitute entertainment. Therefore, Guest agrees that the remedies described herein (substitution for any particular artist or musician) represent fair compensation in the nature of liquidated damages to the exclusion of all other damages payable by Classic Travel, Local Knowledge, or Club Med, whether direct or indirect, proximate or incidental or consequential, for such modification, cancellation or termination of the Event by Classic Travel and Local Knowledge. No Guest shall be entitled to recover any incidental or consequential losses or damages sustained by him or her. Each Guest agrees this remedy shall be his or her exclusive remedy.
6. Cancellation of the Event
Local Knowledge and Classic Travel have reserved the right to cancel the Event, and by extension the Ticket Contract at any time prior to or during the Event. If the Event is cancelled before commencement, you will be entitled, as your exclusive remedy, to receive the applicable Refund Amount. If the Event is cancelled during the Event, each Guest shall receive a reasonable allowance determined on a pro rata basis by taking into account the time missed relative to the scheduled duration of the Event. Classic Travel and Local Knowledge shall have no further liability for damages or compensation of any kind.
7. Forum
It is agreed by and between each Guest and Classic Travel and Local Knowledge that all disputes and matters whatsoever arising under, in connection with or incident to this agreement or to the BHTM T&C, including any dispute or matter arising out of or related to Guest’s travel to the destination involving Classic Travel and Local Knowledge, shall be settled solely and exclusively by binding arbitration in Ventura, California in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association then existent.
