    2. Where a Booking is terminated by a Supplier due to unforeseen circumstances prior to the commencement of any Services, the selected cancellation policy will apply.
    3. Should an Enterprise terminate the Booking prior to the commencement date of any Services, the selected cancellation policy as per clause 17 will apply.
  12. BOOKING UPDATES, EXTENSION AND VARIATIONS TO BOOKINGS
