2. The Community Center reserves the right to cancel a contract, providing a two week notice to the licensee in which case fees will be fully refunded. In the event of any act beyond the Licenser’s control such as unforeseen casualty, occurrence, or inclement weather, that renders the facility closed or inoperable, this agreement terminates and Licenser shall refund in full all charges to the Licensee. The return of the charge shall be the licensee’s sole and exclusive remedy for termination of this Agreement and the licensee hereby waives any claim for damages or compensation as a result related to termination under this paragraph.

Inclement Weather
The Lauri Ann West Community Center strives to remain open to the public during inclement weather and will make every effort to do so as long as conditions are not hazardous. When the Center is closed, either completely or for part of the day, we will post a message on KDKA, our website, lauriannwestcc.org, and our main phone line 412 828 8566 x 101. If you have rented a room or the gym, and you cancel your event, please contact us on the main line 412 828 8566 x 101 and contact your attendees to inform them that you have canceled. If the center is open and you cancel your event, a refund is not provided. If the center is closed during your scheduled event, you may be refunded in full or reschedule. Please be advised that a power outage or other situation may warrant the closing of the Center. While it is our goal to serve the community, safety of our customers and staff is our number one concern. Please check the web-site and KDKA. The Rental Coordinator will make every effort to contact the leasee.
