We shall not be liable for any failure to perform our obligations due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, natural disasters, pandemics, government actions, labor disputes, or technical failures. In such cases, we may cancel or postpone events without liability.
If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. The invalid provision shall be replaced with a valid provision that most closely reflects the original intent.
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any legal action or proceeding relating to these Terms must be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Placer County, California.
