Most planners assume their contract already protects them.

But when a venue is technically open and new regulations make an event meaningless to attend, Force Majeure often fails.

That’s where a Frustration of Purpose clause matters. We’ve created a free, professionally written clause you can copy into your next agreement to exit without penalty when circumstances change.

No Cost Venue Services Questions

How does no cost venue sourcing work?

No cost venue sourcing means Thallo Events is compensated by the venue through a standard industry marketing commission. This allows clients to receive professional sourcing and negotiation support without paying a sourcing fee.

Will hotels raise my rates to cover your commission?

No. Hotels treat commissions as a marketing expense and do not increase room rates to cover them. In many cases, expert sourcing and negotiation leads to better rates and additional concessions.

What types of events qualify for no cost venue services?

Corporate meetings, association conferences, incentive programs, leadership retreats, and multi day events typically qualify for no cost venue sourcing.

Do I still control the final venue decision?

Yes. Thallo Events provides recommendations and guidance, but the final decision always remains with your organization.

Hotel Contract Negotiation Questions

Why is hotel contract negotiation important?

Hotel contracts often contain clauses that expose organizations to financial penalties, liability, and unexpected costs. Professional negotiation helps identify and address these risks before an agreement is signed.

Can you review a contract I already received?

Yes. Contract negotiation support can be provided for agreements that have already been issued, as long as the contract has not yet been signed.

What clauses do you typically negotiate?

Common focus areas include attrition, cancellation, force majeure, indemnification, concessions, and financial liability language.

When should I involve a contract negotiation expert?

Contract negotiation support should be involved before signing any agreement. Early review allows for stronger leverage and better outcomes.
