In such cases, the CSS is freed of all responsibility. Limitation of liability of the Control Systems Society: In the event of it being impossible for the CSS to carry out the IEEE CDC 2014 for force majeure cases, so long as this arises from a cause not attributable to the CSS, CSS shall only be obliged to reimburse the payments received subject to deduction of any costs it has incurred in preparing the event.
