A valid and compliant insurance certificate evidencing such coverages, terms, deductibles amounts, and indicating coverage for transit and offsite coverage must be submitted to PRG prior to the release of any Equipment or Services. If necessary, PRG will provide a certificate of insurance, as reasonably requested by a venue in order for PRG to perform its Services.
11. (a) Except as otherwise set forth herein, nonperformance by either Party of any of its obligations under the Agreement will be a Force Majeure, to the extent and only for so long as such performance is rendered impossible by fire, flood, earthquake, elements of nature or acts of God, acts of war, terrorism, riots, civil unrest, strike (other than of the nonperforming Party or its subcontractors), governmental acts, failure of suppliers, including supply chain and manufacturer issues, third party trucking and labor shortages (not caused by a Party), or any other similar cause beyond the reasonable control of the nonperforming Party that would make it impossible, inadvisable or illegal to either render the Services or hold the Event, and the nonperforming Party continues to use commercially reasonable efforts to recommence performance whenever and to whatever extent possible. In the event of a Force Majeure, Client shall reimburse PRG for its actual costs incurred, and PRG agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate such costs.

17. The failure by PRG to insist upon strict compliance with these terms and conditions even after a breach or default by Client shall not be construed as waiver of any of PRG’s rights under this Agreement.
18. Client agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless PRG Parties from and against any and all liabilities, claims, demands, actions, losses, damages and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable outside attorneys’ fees and costs) for personal injury, death or property damage to the Equipment or other property (“Loss”), in any way arising out of or resulting from any of the following: (1) the breach of any terms in this Agreement; or (2) Client’s use or possession of Equipment; or (3) Client’s negligence or willful misconduct or (4) the transport or shipping of the Equipment, if by or arranged by Client.
