In the event that The Social Space is unable to fulfill its obligations under this agreement due to circumstances beyond its control — including, but not limited to, acts of God, fire, flood, severe weather, power outages, natural disasters, acts of government, pandemic restrictions, or other emergencies — the scheduled event may be canceled without liability.
