Weather and Attendance Policies

Weather

What happens if it rains?

The market operates rain or shine. If the Market is deemed unsafe to operate due to Weather Conditions we will notify creators prior to the event date.

Off the Grid may decide to implement a rain schedule with a modified layout. If so, the rain schedule will be communicated prior to any weather event.

Attendance Policies

Am I allowed any absences throughout the season?

ALL CANCELLATIONS MUST BE DONE THROUGH INFRASTRUCKTURE

One cancellation of a scheduled FMC Event shift is permitted without a penalty fee if Creator provides at least 30 days notice to Off the Grid of the cancellation. Any additional cancellations including, but not limited to, mechanical problems may be denied or billed in accordance with the below cancellation fees. Two (2) or more cancellations during the Contract Season of any kind may result in the termination of this Agreement at Off the Grid’s sole discretion.

• Submitted absence requests will be permitted on a first come first served basis. Requests may be denied due to volume of requests. Limited requests will be permitted on large festival weekends such as Outside Lands, Eat Real, Hardly Strictly Bluegrass, Bottle Rock and the San Francisco Street Food Festival.
