Covid-19 has caused a number of regulations to be released by the Government of Gibraltar under Gibraltar’s Civil Contingencies Act 2007 since the beginning of 2020 to regulate a range of matters to suppress the spread and effect of Covid-19 on individuals and society in Gibraltar. Such regulations have been changing at rapid pace on a daily basis and include regulations on the limitation of travel restrictions into or from Gibraltar, public and private gathering, sporting events, various liberties, face masks and more. As a result, the Government of Gibraltar may release further regulations at any time that may affect the conduct of the Tournament and Damex may be required to vary the terms of this agreement from time to time as a result of any changes to legislation in respect of Covid-19.

Any future changes that may take place are not likely to be in Damex’s reasonable control and therefore any attendee or guest to any event(s) agrees to hold Damex free from any liability as a result of any changes to this agreement following legislative changes introduced by the Government of Gibraltar or other competent authority insofar as they relate to Covid-19 health measures or a similar epidemiological event.

You also agree to hold Damex free from any liability as a result of Damex’s delay in performing or failure to perform any of its obligations under this agreement, in the recommendation of any accommodation facilities, having access to third party accommodation facilities or holding the Tournament where any such delay or failure to perform may result from events, circumstances or causes beyond Damex’s reasonable control including but not limited to where such events, circumstances or causes may be as a result of legislative changes introduced by the Government of Gibraltar insofar as they relate to Covid-19 health measures and restrictions.

In the event that Damex may be delayed in performing or shall fail to perform any of its obligations under this agreement as a result of any force majeure event described herein in this clause 5 of the agreement, Damex may at its sole discretion decide to reimburse participants or guests for the whole or part of any participation or other fee in relation to the Tournament. Damex also retains the right at its sole discretion to issue a credit note, cancel the Tournament, change the date of the Tournament or delay any part of the Tournament as a result of a Force Majeure event without notice.
