For cancellations made with 150 days or less until your event date, you as the client are liable to pay Ryan Grant the remaining balance fee for your booking within 14 days of cancellation.
13. In circumstances for reasons other than ‘change of mind’ e.i when events cannot legally take place or are cancelled by the client as a result of force majeure and through no fault of the Client or Artiste, Ryan Grant will offer the opportunity to reschedule or postpone your event and transfer the booking; carrying forward any fees paid and fees still payable.

At this stage, if any monies are still due, 25% of the current balance should be paid as a commitment to the new date. This is non-refundable. If a new date cannot or is not arranged, standard cancellation charges apply. If the rearranged date / event is cancelled and the performance cannot not take place, in all circumstances the full balance is payable, although Ryan may offer in exceptional circumstances the opportunity to reschedule again.
