Force Majeure Cancellation Refund and Credit Policy (“Force Majeure Cancellation Policy”)

In light of the Covid-19 pandemic, as declared by the World Health Organization (“WHO”), and the continuing uncertainty related to governmental, health, and other restrictions and rules that may or may not be implemented by various governmental agencies in the future, B4 Sports, Inc., D.B.A. National Flag Football and B4 Sports, Inc.’s affiliates and subsidiaries, including without limitation ZBSports, LLC. (together with B4 Sports Inc., collectively “ZBsports”) is implementing a new Force Majeure Cancellation Policy.  All Participants must acknowledge and agree to this Force Majeure Cancellation Policy as an express condition precedent to their registration in the NFF 2020 Fall season. NFF expends considerable resources, time and effort in preparing for each season and in order to be able to offer a 2020 Fall season, this Force Majeure Cancellation Policy is necessary to protect NFF, as well as to fully inform all Participants of the uncertainty and risks involved in registering for a season. 

For purposes of the policies herein, a “season” of ZBSports means and includes a “Meet and Greet” and six scheduled games.  During season preparation, NFF will schedule a double header in the following week. A complete season will have been played so long as four games are played and a four-game season shall constitute full and complete performance by Zbsports.

Excusable Delays and Force Majeure:

Any delay in the performance by NFF  of its obligations to Participant under any written agreement shall be excused when such delay in performance is due to any cause or event of any nature whatsoever beyond the reasonable control of ZBSports, including without limitation, any act of God; any fire, flood or weather condition; any earthquake; any epidemic or WHO declared pandemic; any act of a public enemy, war, insurrection, riot, explosion, terrorist attack or strike; or any government demand, requirement or instruction (each, a “Force Majeure”).  A delay caused by Force Majeure shall not be deemed a cancellation of the season or termination of this Agreement unless NFF, in its sole discretion, provides Participant written notice stating otherwise (the “Cancellation Notice”).  The time for performance of NFF’s obligations may be amended for the period of delay or inability to perform due to such Force Majeure, as determined in the sole and absolute discretion of NFF.  If NFF provides Participant a Cancellation Notice, the 2020 Fall season will be cancelled and subject to the terms below.
