Definition & Overview
Because conference interpreting represents unrecoverable professional diary time, standard international agreements enforce structured cancellation fee schedules: cancellations within 48 hours trigger 100% full remuneration plus non-refundable travel expenses; cancellations within 7 days trigger a 50% diary indemnity fee.
Operational Rules & Standard Guidance
- Inside 48 hours: 100% full agreed fee payable immediately.
- Inside 7 days: 50% diary loss indemnity payable.
- Requires automated timestamped dispatch records for legal enforceability.
Operational Impact: Proper understanding of cancellation indemnity schedule ensures conference coordinators, chief interpreters, and AV technicians prevent costly staffing miscalculations and acoustic failures during live sessions.
