C. If you are unable to keep your reservation and you fail to cancel in accordance with applicable Restaurant’s cancellation policy or at least thirty (30) minutes in advance of the time of the reservation, whichever is applicable, KATALYST will send you a communication to inform you that our records indicate that you were a “no-show.” Your registration with KATALYST will be terminated if you are a no-show for four reservations within a twelve (12) month period.
