health emergencies, communicable disease, epidemic or pandemic advisories or alerts, (viii) strikes or work stoppages, (ix) curtailment of transportation services (including, without limitation, travel bans and advisories), (x) public or private policies
which restrict or prohibit participants of the course from traveling to or attending the course. AOFAS shall promptly provide notice (which may be sent via e-mail to the address on the registration form) of a cancellation due to the
existence of one or more Force Majeure events, and Attendee agrees that AOFAS shall have no liability whatsoever to Attendee as a result of such cancellation or AOFAS’s partial or non-performance due to such Force Majeure.
