Decisions regarding Event operations may be based on weather conditions, public safety, governmental directives, venue requirements, emergencies, or circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the organizer.
Unless otherwise announced by Crafts in the Village, weather-related delays, closures, evacuations, or cancellations do not automatically entitle Vendors to refunds, credits, or transfers.
Vendor safety remains the responsibility of each Vendor. A Vendor may choose to leave because of weather or personal safety concerns, but doing so does not create an entitlement to a refund or credit.
