If for any reason beyond the reasonable control of JamesSuckling.com there is any event that renders it impossible or illegal for JamesSuckling.com to hold the Great Wines of the World (GWOW) and Great Wines of Italy (GWOI), either of which may be referred to as “the Event”, or collectively as “the Events”, JamesSuckling.com shall, at its sole and absolute discretion, either (A) fully refund the Event Exhibitors, or (B) issue a credit note to the Event Exhibitors for its next event.
Additionally, in the event that it is legally permissible for the Events to be held but any of the following occurs:-
1. Any of the representatives of the Event Exhibitors is officially or legally subject to any travel and/or quarantine restrictions (whether imposed by Hong Kong or any other jurisdiction applicable to the relevant Event Exhibitor) and so is unable to attend the Events
2. Any of the representatives of the Event Exhibitors has been quarantined on suspicion of having contracted COVID-19 and/or tested positive for COVID-19 or been in close proximity to someone quarantined in the last 14 days or with COVID-19 symptoms,
3. Any of the Event Exhibitors withdraws from the Event or their representatives do not attend the Event (or intends to withdraw or their representatives intend to not attend the Event) for any reason(s) beyond the control of JamesSuckling.com, the relevant Event Exhibitor is required to, as soon as practicable and in any event within two (2) calendar days of such circumstance occurring, inform JamesSuckling.com of the relevant circumstances and upon doing so, immediately arrange for a local representative to attend the Event on behalf of the Event Exhibitor at the cost of the Event Exhibitor. Additionally, in the event that any such circumstances arise, the relevant Event Exhibitor shall also be deemed to have authorised JamesSuckling.com to, at the sole and absolute discretion of JamesSuckling.com, appoint a local representative, at the cost of the Event Exhibitor, to attend the Event on behalf of the Event Exhibitor.
For the avoidance of doubt, JamesSuckling.com reserves the right of final decision in assessing and determining whether any Event Exhibitor or their representative(s) are prohibited from attending the Event in the interests of the health and safety of the Event Exhibitors and attendees. JamesSuckling.com also retains the right to modify the event schedule of the Event and/or impose additional requirements (such as to limit the number of attendees at the Event venue) in accordance with any social distancing and/or health and safety regulations in place at the time of the Events.
