Questions and answers
Is this legal advice?
No. It is a template for information. Consumer rules on deposits and cancellations differ by country, so have a lawyer check it before use.
Can I keep the deposit if the client cancels?
The contract states it clearly, but some countries limit how much you may keep. Your lawyer can confirm what is enforceable.
Does it cover force majeure and illness?
Yes. It says what happens if the event cannot go ahead or you cannot perform, including a replacement or refund.
