3.1. Weather and Force Majeure Policy: In the event that the showcase must be cancelled, postponed, or interrupted due to force majeure (including, but not limited to: severe weather/thunderstorms, flooding, pandemics, strikes, government restrictions, or "Acts of God"), GTT shall not be liable to refund the registration fee nor to cover any travel or accommodation expenses. In such cases, the sole responsibility of GTT will be to offer a credit note or a rescheduling option for a future date, at the sole discretion of the organization.

-
To provide a comparable service (rescheduling the date or offering an alternative venue); or
-
To refund the proportional part of the service not rendered.
In any of these scenarios, GTT’s liability will terminate automatically, and the client shall have no further right to claim against the organization.

Right to Relocate: In the event of unforeseen circumstances or Force Majeure affecting the Original Venue, GTT reserves the right to relocate the training session to an Alternative Venue which, as far as reasonably practicable, will be within the same geographical area and maintain a comparable standard. Participants will be notified as far in advance as possible.
