Extenuating Circumstances Policy

Last updated: Sept. 13, 2022

This Extenuating Circumstances Policy explains how cancellations are handled when unforeseen events beyond your control arise after booking and make it impracticable or illegal to complete your integration.

When this Policy allows for cancellation, it controls and takes precedence over the reservation’s cancellation policy. Advertisers that are impacted by an event covered by this Policy can cancel their integration and receive, depending on the circumstances, a refund, credit, and/or other consideration. Creators that are impacted by an event covered by this Policy can cancel without adverse consequences, but, depending on the circumstances, their listing may be blocked for the integration type.

What events are covered

This Policy uses the term “Event” to refer to the following situations that occur after booking, are unforeseen at the time of booking, and prevent or legally prohibit completion of the integration.

Changes to government requirements. Unexpected changes to advertising, or content distribution requirements imposed by a governmental agency that prevent collaboration between creators and advertisers. This doesn’t include existing laws and regulations.

Declared emergencies and epidemics. Government declared local or national emergencies, epidemics, pandemics, and public health emergencies. This does not include diseases that are endemic or commonly associated with an area—for example, malaria in Thailand or dengue fever in Hawaii.

Government travel restrictions. Travel restrictions imposed by a governmental agency that prevent or prohibit traveling to, staying at, or otherwise impede the production of listing content. This does not include non-binding travel advisories and similar government guidance.

Military actions and other hostilities. Acts of war, hostilities, invasions, civil war, terrorism, explosions, bombings, rebellions, riots, insurrection, civil disorder, and civil unrest.

Natural disasters. Natural disasters, acts of God, large-scale outages of essential utilities, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, and other severe and abnormal weather events. This does not include weather or natural conditions that are common enough to be foreseeable in that location—for example, hurricanes occurring during hurricane season in Florida.

What is not covered

Everything else. This Policy only allows for cancellations for the Events described above. Everything else is excluded. Examples of situations that this Policy does not allow cancellations which include: unexpected disease, illness, or injury; government obligations like jury duty, court appearances or military duties; travel advisories or other government guidance (that fall short of a travel ban or prohibition); cancellation or rescheduling of an integration for which the reservation was made; and transportation disruptions unrelated to a covered Event like road closures, as well as flight, train, bus and ferry cancellations. If you cancel an integration in these cases, the amount refunded will be determined by the cancellation policy that applies to the reservation.

What to do next

If we notify you or publish information confirming that this Policy applies to your integration, please follow the cancellation instructions that we provide. When we have notified you or published information about how this Policy applies, you should have the option to cancel under this Policy by going to your Transactions page and canceling the impacted integration. If you believe this Policy applies to your integration, but we have not notified you or published information about the Event, please contact us to cancel your reservation. In all cases, you should be prepared to provide documentation that shows how the Event has impacted you or your integration.

If you have questions, please contact us.

While these guidelines don’t cover every possible scenario, they’re designed to offer general guidance on HOLLYFY’s community policies.
