attrition charges

The Group will be responsible for ninety percent (90%) of its guaranteed sleeping room block. If the actual room usage by the Group falls below ninety percent (90%), the Group will still be charged the number of packages guaranteed in the contract, at time of signing, multiplied by ninety percent (90%).

cancellation charges

If the Group agrees that should it change its meeting location or otherwise cancel their contract, actual damages would be difficult to determine. The following cancellation fees represent a reasonable effort on behalf of UCLA Conferences & Catering to establish actual damages for such cancellation. In the event of a cancellation, the Attrition Clause is no longer applicable. Said cancellation fees shall be due and payable on demand to UCLA Conference Services:

• Written Notice Received 12 Months – 9 Months from scheduled event date: Cancellation fee – 75% of Group’s anticipated Gross Revenues*
• Written Notice Received 9 Months – 6 Months from scheduled event date: Cancellation fee – 90% of Group’s anticipated Gross Revenues*
• Written Notice Received Less Than 6 Months from scheduled event date: Cancellation fee – 100% of Group’s anticipated Gross Revenues*

*Gross Revenues is derived from the Package Rate value (inclusive of a meal plan) of contracted sleeping rooms, all Catering functions, and any auxiliary services if the conference/event was held as scheduled.
