If an OACAC event is canceled by circumstances beyond the control of OACAC - such as acts of God, war, government regulations, disaster, civil disorder, inclement weather, sudden outage of electricity or water at the venue, or curtailment of transportation facilities - to the extent that such circumstances make it illegal or impossible to allow an OACAC sponsored event to occur, the registrant agrees that they will not hold OACAC liable for the cancellation and/or disruption of the program and thereby request a return of any paid fees.
