LIMITATION OF LIABILITY IN RELATION TO THE CONVENTION

The Actuarial Society of South Africa reserves the right to cancel the Convention without notice or compensation in the event of any delay, default, failure or cancellation of implementation of any deliverable to or for the Convention which has been caused, directly or indirectly, by any incident of “force majeure”. For the purposes hereof, the term “force majeure” shall mean any incident, circumstance or cause which renders delivery of the Convention substantially or totally impossible or impracticable and which is beyond the control of the Actuarial Society of South Africa. The term shall include but not be limited to the following:

• Any strike, or other industrial action of any kind;
• Fire, flood, drought, water shortages, or adverse weather conditions;
• Unavoidable breakdown or destruction of facilities or equipment;
• Failure of carriers, delays in performance or delivery by sub-contractors or any other breach by a third party of a material obligation towards the Actuarial Society of South Africa;
• Power failure;
• Promulgation/amendment/rescission of any relevant legislation or regulation by local or national government;
• Any occurrence of any nature which renders it reasonably necessary for the Actuarial Society of South Africa to cancel the Convention.

In such circumstances, the Actuarial Society of South Africa, the Convention Organising Committee and the Convention Organisers are hereby indemnified and shall not be liable to any participant, supplier or other service provider for any loss or damage save that the Actuarial Society of South Africa shall only be liable to reimburse the relevant party such amounts as may actually have been received by the Actuarial Society of South Africa, but after deduction of any costs that have been reasonably incurred by it up to the point of cancellation in preparing the Convention. This limited liability does not extend to any payments that may have been made directly or indirectly (on behalf of participants/attendees/service providers, etc.) to third parties such as hotels or airlines. The Actuarial Society of South Africa, the Convention Organising Committee and Convention Organisers shall not be responsible for any theft, breakage, destruction or damages of any kind whatsoever and howsoever caused to personal and/or business items of participants, accompanying persons, children, or other attendees.
