| Cancellation and Rescheduling Policy |
| Notice of Cancellations and Rescheduling must be made in writing or by email. The Reservation and Ceremony Preparation Fee is non-refundable should you cancel your wedding. In addition, should you cancel or reschedule within 14 days of the reserved wedding date, you will be responsible for the remaining fee for the Performance of the Wedding Ceremony Fee. If you reschedule your wedding prior to 14 days before the reserved wedding date, and the new wedding date is available to Ric Justiss, you will not be required to pay another Reservation and Ceremony Fee, but only the Performance of the Wedding Ceremony Fee at the time of the newly scheduled wedding. These cancellation fees are not a penalty but rather shall be considered compensation to Officiant for loss of other business opportunities. (Having made the date unavailable by booking, then canceling within the specified time periods) |

| I will charge an additional $50 per half hour if I have to wait more than 30 minutes past the scheduled starting time of any ceremony. My ability to wait more than 30 minutes will be solely at my discretion. I may waive the late charge, at my discretion. No refund will be given if I am not able to perform the ceremony because of delays within the stipulated time period. |

| The Officiant will leave ample time to allow for the unforeseen, and will do everything possible to accommodate extenuating circumstances. In the event the scheduled Officiant is prohibited from officiating at the Client’s ceremony as planned due to hospitalization, auto accident, and/or transportation breakdown/disruption or other unforeseen incapacitation or cause of non-arrival on the day of the ceremony, thepreacherman.com, Ric Justiss, and their agents shall NOT be held liable for any compensation or damages due to non-performance of any ceremony/function resulting from such incapacitation, non-arrival, late arrival, errors or omissions of any type. If for ANY reason (by no fault of the officiant) the ceremony starts 30 minutes or more after it is scheduled, the Officiant may, at his/her option perform a very short ceremony in place of the agreed-upon ceremony. Neither thepreacherman.com nor Ric Justiss shall be held liable for any costs of the ceremony or reception, or damages of any kind.

The party against whom a waiver is sought to be effective must have signed a waiver in writing. |
| I reserve the right to refuse any request for a reservation and I further reserve the right to refuse to perform any service that I am not comfortable with, even though a reservation was accepted. If a wedding service that has been reserved is not performed, then a refund shall be due in the same form received. |
| If you would like to reserve my services for the entire day, this must be agreed to in advance, and will be an additional $500 charge.
