à titre de compensation du préjudice subi

English translation: in compensation for losses incurred

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
French term or phrase:à titre de compensation du préjudice subi
English translation:in compensation for losses incurred

Law/Patents - Tourism & Travel / terms and conditions for boat tours
French term or phrase: à titre de compensation du préjudice subi
En cas de défaillance des visiteurs ou d’annulation tardive (-24h), X se réserve le droit de percevoir à titre de compensation du préjudice subi une indemnité équivalente à 50% du prix prévu.

I am awful at legalese anyway, and the heat/thunderstorm combination sure isn't helping much, but I am sure there is a much simplier way of saying this in English (as opposed to "reserves the right to receive compensation for the prejudice suffered!!")

Many thanks in advance.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Hi Monxmood, the harm is the "défaillance", the fact that the people who made reservations did not show up.
