Can I include a cancellation clause in an Event Services Agreement to protect myself from financial loss?
Business Contracts
General Services Agreement
New York
I am a professional event planner and I have been approached by a client to organize a large-scale event. Due to the nature of the event and the significant investments required, I am concerned about potential last-minute cancellations by the client, which could result in substantial financial loss for me. I want to know if it is legally permissible to include a cancellation clause in the Event Services Agreement that would protect me from such losses, and if so, what specific provisions should be included to ensure its enforceability.

The short is: absolutely! You should have a standard cancellation clause in your contract! I think there might be a broader issue w/r/t your agreement, and HIGHLY recommend you speak with an attorney quickly to make sure your contract is written to protect you in these and other adverse circumstances, while also making it so you client are comfortable with doing business with you. Good luck!
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.

Contracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.

I got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
