Legal Agreement
Weather Conditions
The MFA operates regardless of weather conditions unless we encounter some extreme weather conditions. Food vendors are expected to continue to man their stations unless given permission by the festival organizers to shut down due to extreme weather.
Cancellation by John Michael Kohler Arts Center Refunds. If John Michael Kohler Arts Center must close a food vendor’s station due to the vendor’s breach of this Contract or Code of Conduct, such cancellation shall be treated as a “Cancellation by the Vendor,” addressed below. If acts or causes beyond the control of the parties, including, but not limited to, accidents, labor disputes, pandemics, epidemics or other outbreaks of diseases or other infections, acts of war or terrorism, military or armed conflicts, insurrections, rebellions, riots, explosions, lightning, earthquakes, fires, storms, and floods make it impossible for the MFA to proceed or, if at the discretion of JMKAC any such acts or causes require cancellation of the MFA for safety or security reasons, at the discretion of JMKAC, a portion of the flat fee made by the Vendor to JMKAC may be refunded, and this Contract shall be terminated.
Absence. All Vendors are required to maintain their Season Availability throughout the course of the year; removing any dates that are no longer available and identifying ahead of time any potential time conflicts for the MFA dates. Contact the Arts Center prior to each festival in the event of being unable to attend unexpectedly, unless it is due to a true emergency. Failure to do so may result in a “Cancellation by the Vendor,” addressed below.
Cancellation by the Vendor. Should the vendor terminate their participation in the MFA at any time after payment is made, the Client must contact the Arts Center to inform of its absence and forfeit the nonrefundable fee.
No Liability for Cancellation. IN NO INSTANCE WILL JMKAC BE LIABLE FOR ANY EXPENSES OR COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH ANY CANCELLATION OR TERMINATION, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO FOOD AND SUPPLY COSTS, STAFF TIME, TRAVEL OR ADVERTISING EXPENSES, OR ANY LOSS OF GOODWILL OR OTHER INCIDENTAL OR ECONOMIC DAMAGES.
By submitting this application, I agree to be bound by all rules, policies, and statements herein. I understand that by submitting this application, I give permission to the JMKAC to use my images for publicity or other purposes for the MFA.
JMKAC is neither responsible nor liable for personal injury or loss/damage of property belonging to any food vendor. I, the food vendor, release and hold harmless JMKAC/John Michael Kohler Arts Center, their officers, directors, staff, volunteers, and agents from any claims including attorneys’ fees relating to such personal injury or damage.
