3. Session Overrun Procedures

   1. Session overruns are when room occupation persists beyond the booked session slot.
   2. Where a session overrun encroaches into the next session slot the normal charge for the next slot will be added to the invoice.
   3. Additional charges will also be applied to session overruns at a casual rate of $50 for every hour or part thereof falling outside normal operating hours.
   4. Please Note: In the interests of a smooth and uninterrupted event, if the next session slot is vacant, no notification, reminder, or warning will be given for session overruns or the additional costs associated therewith.
   5. If the session overrun exceeds our standard operating hours by an hour, the session will be interrupted and options regarding any continuation thereof presented at the discretion of The Meeting Rooms.
   6. As a matter of necessity, if there is another booking following your session and room occupation persists beyond your booked session slot, the session will be interrupted and a request for the immediate vacation of the room given.
   7. Please note: If room occupation persists into the next booked slot, and after the presenter, on-site contact or other general attendees have been asked to vacate the room, the lost revenue and incurred expenses as a matter of necessity or consequence by The Meeting Rooms in order to fulfil or inability to fulfil its contractual obligations to the succeeding booker, will be passed onto the individual or organisation responsible for the offending booking.
      
      Such expenses could be quite substantial and include, but are not limited to, lost revenue, alternate venue costs, catering costs, accommodation and travel costs for all attendees.
      
      
   To avoid additional charges, or differences in expectations, please communicate the booked session boundaries and the importance thereof to presenters and/or your nominated on-site contact.
