7.1.1. a minimum of 10% (“Deposit”) of the Price upon entering into the Contract in accordance with Clause 5.1.;

7.1.2. a minimum of 50% of the Price no later than 7 days from the date on which the Contract comes into force in accordance with Clause 5.1.; and

7.1.3. the balance of the Price must be paid no later than 16 weeks before your Event Date.

We reserve the right to take automatic payment from your credit/debit card in order to reimburse us for any proportion of the Price which has not been paid to us in accordance with Clause 6.2..

7.4. If you fail to make any payment due to us by its due date, you will be in breach of the Contract. We shall be entitled to charge you interest on the unpaid sum in accordance with the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998, which is currently at 8% above the base rate of the Bank of England. This interest shall accumulate on a daily basis until you actually make payment, even if we have obtained a Court judgement against you for non-payment in the meantime.

7.4.1. We will try and reach you for the overdue payment for 14 days after the due date. If we are unable to reach you, we reserve the right to deduct the overdue payment with the interest fee and processing fee of 1.5% (including interest) from your credit/debit card.

7.6. All sums that you owe us under the Contract must be paid in full: you are not permitted to make any deductions unless the law permits you to. If we owe any sums to you, we may deduct from that payment any amount that you owe to us and, if we exercise this right, this does not prevent us from also exercising any other right that we may have under the Contract due to your non-payment.

8. INSURANCE

8.1. Adequate and valid travel insurance is compulsory for you and your Guests and it is a condition of accepting your Booking that you agree you will have obtained adequate and valid travel insurance. We recommend you take out insurance as soon as your Booking is confirmed.

9. ADDITIONAL SERVICES

You will be responsible for the payment of any additional charges outside the scope of the Services which are either requested by you or persons accompanying you at the Event verbally or in writing or incurred by you or persons accompanying you at the Event, such as in relation to additional refreshments, travel or accommodation. Payment for any such charges will be invoiced separately together with an additional handling fee of 10% of the relevant charges, and this must be paid within five days of the date of the invoice.

10. PROVISION OF SERVICES

10.1. The information that you provide to us when making the Booking must be complete and accurate to the best of your knowledge, and you must also inform us of any special requirements that you might have before entering into the Contract, including any dietary requirements of all persons detailed in the Booking. Although we use all reasonable endeavours to accommodate any special requests, all rooms, additional services or any other special requests such as early or late check-ins, dietary or access requirements are always subject to availability.

10.2. We may contact you to ask for further information that we require in order to enable us to provide the Services. If you do not, within a reasonable time of our asking for it, provide us with this information, or you provide us with incomplete or incorrect information, we may either end the Contract, in which event we shall have no liability to you, or charge you a reasonable sum to compensate us for any extra work involved.

11. YOUR OBLIGATIONS

11.1. You are responsible for your Guests and will procure that your Guests comply with these Conditions (where relevant) and with any rules, regulations and directions set down by us and/or our agents including, without limitation, any and all relevant statutes, safety announcements and venue regulations.

11.2. You will not resell or otherwise transfer or offer for sale or transfer any part of a Booking without our prior written consent.

11.3. You or your Guests must notify us of any special dietary requirements at least one month before the Event.

11.4. Guests are responsible to ensure that they possess all necessary travel and health documents before departure.

11.5. The safety of all our Guests is paramount. It is a strict condition of each Booking that Guests should behave in a reasonable manner at all times while at any of our Events.

11.6. Guests who we consider are behaving in a way that may create a danger to themselves or others, who act in a way that breaches the venue regulations, or who act in a manner which, in our reasonable opinion, is likely to affect the enjoyment of other Guests, will be asked to leave any of our facilities or events and we may take appropriate action to enforce this right.

11.7. We reserve the right to conduct security searches from time to time and confiscate any item which, in our reasonable opinion, may cause a danger or disruption to other Guests.

11.8. You will be liable for all damage and extra costs incurred by us as a consequence of unreasonable behaviour, carelessness or breach of this Condition 11. by you or Guests for whom your Booking was made.

11.9. Guests may not invite persons who are not Guests to any of our events at any time.

11.10. You agree that you will be responsible for your Guests’ conduct throughout the course of the Event and shall ensure that nothing shall be done which will constitute a breach of law or could in any way cause nuisance, damage, infringement of any third party licences, including any relating to entertainment, music and alcohol consumption. Please note that what is lawful or socially acceptable behaviour may differ from country to country.

11.11. You will be responsible for any breakages or damage caused to any property by you or any of your Guests and you will be required to indemnify us fully in respect of our liability for such loss or damage.

11.12. In addition to condition 11.4, the onus remains on the guest to ensure they comply with any and all travel restrictions imposed by their country/countries of destination. We shall have no liability or responsibility for any losses or complications incurred by the lack of compliance by any guest.

12. VARIATION

12.1. Whilst every reasonable effort will be made to ensure that the Services are in accordance with the details as set out in the Order, we reserve the right in our absolute discretion to change elements of the Services provided at any time in order to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements or to implement necessary technical adjustments and improvements, for example to address a security threat. These changes are not likely materially to affect your use of the Services. We shall not amend the Price in such circumstances.

12.2. If our performance of the Services is prevented or delayed by circumstances outside our control then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of those circumstances. Provided that we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by such circumstances, but if there is a risk that our ability to provide the Services is materially affected, you may end the Contract in accordance with our cancellation policy set out in Clause 16..

12.3. The steps referred to in Clause 12.2. may include offering you an alternative Event of similar nature and value (“Substitute Event”). You must let us know within 7 days of being offered the Substitute Event whether you wish to accept it. If you accept the Substitute Event, the terms of the Order will be deemed to have been varied accordingly, however we shall not amend the Price in these circumstances unless the cost of the Substitute Event is less than the Price, in which case we shall refund you in respect of any shortfall. If you do not wish to accept the Substitute Event or do not respond within the above time frame, we will treat this as a request to cancel the Contract subject to our cancellation policy set out in Clause 16..

12.4. If, due to circumstances beyond our control, we are unable to provide the Services or offer you a Substitute Event, without limiting our other rights or remedies, we shall be entitled to cancel the Contract immediately upon written notice and you will be issued with a full refund within a reasonable amount of time after such cancellation.

13. INDEMNITY

13.1. You shall indemnify us in full against and hold us harmless from all claims, costs, damages, liabilities, expenses (including but not limited to legal expenses) demands and judgements awarded against or incurred or paid by the us as a result of or in connection with any and all acts or omissions of you, your Guests, employees, agents or subcontractors including but not limited to acts or omissions at the Event and damage caused at an Event by you or your Guests.

14. MAKING CHANGES

14.1. Subject to Clauses 14.2. and 14.3., if you wish to make a change to the Services before the Event Date, you must contact us to request those changes in writing. Until we have confirmed that any such change is possible, the change will not be deemed to have been agreed. It might be necessary for us to revise the Price in order for us to agree to the change you require. In that case, we will confirm any change in Price to you in writing and ask you to confirm whether you wish to go ahead with the change. If you do not wish to go ahead with the change, the original terms of your Order will continue to apply.

14.2. Please note that if you wish to transfer your Booking to an alternative Event of equal or higher value, we will ask for 25% of the value of the alternative Event (less any sums you have already paid) to be paid to us before we are able to confirm the Booking. If you wish to transfer your Booking to an alternative Event of lower value, this will be treated as a request to cancel the Contract subject to our cancellation policy set out in Clause 16. and the alternative Event will be the subject of a new Booking.

14.3. Once you have entered into the Contract, if you wish to add any additional persons to your Booking, this will form the basis of a separate Contract.

15. FORCE MAJEURE

15.1. We shall not be liable to you or be deemed to be in breach of the Contract or these Conditions by reason of any delay in performing, or any failure to perform, any of its obligations in relation to the Contract or to these Conditions if the delay or failure is due to any act beyond the our reasonable control, including but not limited to; any act of God, adverse weather conditions, explosion, fire or accident, war or threat of war, terrorist activity or threat of terrorism, sabotage, insurrection, civil disturbance or requisition, regulations, bye-laws, prohibitions or measures of any kind on the part of any governmental or local authority, import or export regulations or embargoes, strikes, lockouts or other industrial actions or trade disputes, power failure or postponement or cancellation of an Event.

16. CANCELLATION POLICY

16.1. If you want to end the Contract at any time, you must notify us of this in writing. The Contract will end immediately upon our receipt of your notification, and 100% of the Price will become immediately due and payable, less any amounts you have already paid to us in connection with the Services. Upon cancellation of the Contract, you must immediately pay to us all of our outstanding invoices and any interest payable on any sums due to us.

16.2. In addition to Clause 14.2. above, the following applies:

16.2.1. if cancellation is made 16 weeks or less before the Event Date, then the full Price remains due by you and shall be payable.

16.2.2. if cancellation is made more than 16 weeks before the Event Date, then 75% of the Price remains due by you and shall be payable.

16.4. Upon cancellation of the Contract in accordance with Clause 16.1., we will use commercially reasonable endeavours to recover the underlying costs which represent the different elements of the Services, for example by attempting to re-sell the relevant tickets for the Event.

16.5. We will refund you any sums recovered under Clause 16.4., less the Deposit and any out of pocket costs or expenses incurred (including our reasonable legal fees) or other losses suffered in connection with such cancellation or recovery, including any loss of profit or labour costs reasonably incurred in re-advertising and re-selling the Services (including any tickets for the Event) (“Incurred Costs”). You acknowledge that any sums we are able to recover under this Clause 16.5. may not necessarily represent the full market value or best price for that element of the Services, and that any sums retained by us under this Clause 16.5. are intended to protect our legitimate business interests.

16.6. If you do not pay to us all of our outstanding invoices and interest in accordance with Clause 16.1., or the Incurred Costs exceed the sums actually recovered under Clause 16.4., you will be liable to indemnify us and keep us fully indemnified against any shortfall we suffer. We will process the remaining amount under the terms of Clause 7.4. and 7.4.1..

16.7. If account credit is offered as a gesture of goodwill at any time after a Booking agreement is signed, the respective balance must be used within 90 calendar days, after which time the standard cancellation terms (as per clause 16) will come into effect.

21.5. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these Conditions, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking the Contract that will not mean that you do not have to do those things or prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not require you to make a payment at that time but we continue to provide the Services, we shall still require you to make the payment at a later date.
