Military Clause

Hey Ladies,
   I'm starting to look at reception locations and on previous posts I have heard others mention including a "military clause" in their contracts for rentals. Can someone explain to me what exactly that includes? I think it would cover a deployment but I wasn't sure if there would be any other cases that should be in there. Thanks!

    We asked every vendor we talked to about a military clause and then when we did contracts they mentioned the cancellation, and refund deposit and basically said we were exempt for military reasoning. Apartments do this too.

    They understand if they get called away, you can't chagne that.

    So mention to all your vendors you want something in writing that you WILL NOT be penalized if he gets deployed or orders to be elsewhere on that date.

    With mine, they said they would just hold out on us for a different date, not refund all of our money and act like it never happened, but we could change the date without penalty.

    I am ensuring every contract has a military clause, which basically says that if I get deployed or placed on orders, and I can prove to them my orders, then they either have to move to the date we choose, or, if they are already booked for that day, then they have to return my deposit.  It pretty much just covers anything you may get called away for.  Good luck!

    We just had our say that we would be able to reschedule if he received orders. We didn't specify what type of orders, that way if YFI gets sent TDY or something that's not a deployment, you're still covered.

    is this something we write up or something that every venue is aware of? I am so glad someone mentioned this to me because I had no idea and when I was talking to our reception venue about his deployment this may be coming up in Oct. she never mentioned anything, I had no idea this exsisted...thanks ladies!!!

    "Deposit applied up to 6 months from groom returning from deployment, dependent upon the availability of (reception hall)"

    That's a direct quote from my reception contract

    Hopefully the wording will help, I know it took my reception hall a lot of time to figure it out so that they weren't going to loose out.
