If Participant has elected for a Payment Plan: an initial non-refundable deposit of $495 is due upon execution of this Agreement (the “Deposit”), followed by 6 monthly installments of $895 for a total of $5865 (collectively, the “Program Fee”). Payments after the initial $495.00 Deposit shall be automatically charged monthly to the credit card provided at registration, i.e. Participants who register on March 30 will be charged $495.00 on March 30, followed by six monthly installments of $895 to be automatically charged on April 30, May 30, June 30, July 30, August 30, September 30.

Late and/or missing payments: Payments more than 7 days late are subject to a late fee equal to 10 percent (10%) of the outstanding balance. The Broadway Collective reserves the right to terminate this Agreement and suspend Participant’s participation without refund if any payment is more than 30 days past due.

3. TERM

The term of this Agreement shall commence as of the signing of this Agreement, payment of the Deposit and shall continue through completion of the Program, unless earlier terminated by either party in accordance with paragraph 4.

4. TERMINATION

(a) Participant Termination: Participant may terminate this Agreement for any reason by providing written notice to The Broadway Collective.

1. Termination of this Agreement by Participant for any reason at any time does not alleviate Participant’s obligation to pay Program Fees ias specified in Paragraph 2. Participant hereby acknowledges and understands that the Program Fee is not refundable, and Participant will NOT receive a refund of monies paid in the event of Participant’s termination of the Agreement Termination of this Agreement by Participant does not alleviate Participant of their payment obligations hereunder.
2. Participant acknowledges and understands that significant planning, preparation, reservations, hiring and a host of third-party services are secured by The Broadway Collective as a result of Participant agreeing to participate in the Program. As a result, Participant and The Broadway Collective agree that quantifying The Broadway Collective’s loss as a result of Participant cancellation is inherently difficult insofar as cancellation may impact The Broadway Collective’s obligations to pay for merchandise, tickets, housing/lodging, and other costs visited upon The Broadway Collective as a result of Participant’s cancellation. Therefore, Participant understands if Participant cancels this Agreement, Participant will not receive a refund for monies paid and the monies received shall be retained by The Broadway Collective as liquidated damages. Both Participant and The Broadway Collective agree that the monies received are not a penalty, but a reasonable measure of damages, based upon the The Broadway Collective’s experience providing the Program and given the nature of the losses that may result from cancellation.

(b) The Broadway Collective may cancel this Agreement at any time for any reason by providing written notice to Participant. In the unlikely event that The Broadway Collective cancels this Agreement prior to commencement of the Program, The Broadway Collective will provide a full refund to Participant.

The Broadway Collective is not responsible for any expenses incurred by Participant related to the Program prior to cancellation by the The Broadway Collective.

6. NO GUARANTEES

The Broadway Collective cannot guarantee the outcome of the Program and The Broadway Collective’s comments about the outcome are expressions of opinion only. The Broadway Collective makes no guarantees other than that the services described in Paragraph 1(a) shall be provided to Participant in accordance with this Agreement.

Participants understand that the event format, mode of delivery, venue, location, route, schedules, itineraries, amenities and mode of transport to and from any activities may be subject to alteration without prior notice due to Force Majeure Events, local circumstances or events, which may include pandemic or epidemic, sickness or mechanical breakdown, flight cancellations, strikes, events emanating from political disputes, entry or border difficulties, extreme weather and other unpredictable or unforeseeable circumstances or any other reason whatsoever.
