A separate invoice will be issued which will be due and payable by you within 30 days of its date or immediately if changes are made within 60 days of the event.

4. Your responsibilities

You are responsible at all times for your own health and personal safety and that of your party.
If you or any of your party has any medical problems, disability, special dietary requirements or allergies you should inform us at the time of booking so that we can try to make appropriate arrangements and/or pass this on to the relevant supplier.

5. Our liability to you

We have no liability to you when we act for you as booking agents only. Your contract is with the third party responsible (such as the sponsor, host, promoter or venue) and all liability to you for the booked event rests solely with them.
Where we act for you outside our capacity as booking agents only.
we accept no liability for any accident or illness to you whether before, during or after the event save for personal injury or death resulting from our own negligence;
we accept no liability whatsoever in connection with any activities you participate in during or associated with the event, with the exception of those activities arranged exclusively by and through us;

our liability to you is excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Save in respect of personal injury or death resulting from our own negligence our total liability to you shall be limited to the price paid by you for your booking.
We are not and cannot be liable at any time for any action, inaction, activity, inactivity, advice or guidance given to you by any third parties or any of our suppliers. Our suppliers may have their own terms and conditions of business which will affect you. Copies of these can be requested and where available forwarded to you.
Much of the information provided by us (and whether verbally, on our website or in writing) is supplied to us by third parties. Wherever possible this information is verified by us but we are not responsible for its accuracy or content.
We give no warranty whatsoever in connection with our services save as set out in writing in these Terms. All other warranties express or implied are excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law.

6. Amendment

By You
If you wish to amend your booking please let us know. We will try to make the change but it may not be possible and you may incur further charges. If we are unable to make the change you will be given the option of proceeding as arranged or cancelling your booking in which case our Cancellation Charges will apply.

Please be aware that certain arrangements cannot be changed once a booking has been made. Where we act as booking agents only and we have already incurred the costs of receiving your tickets we cannot provide you with any refund. If any of your party drop out or fail to show for an event for any reason no refund is payable.

By Us
We may occasionally have to make changes to your booking. We will notify you as soon as possible of any material changes affecting you or your party.

Where this involves an increased charge we may choose to absorb these for you or pass on these charges on to you, in which case you will be given the option of accepting the charge and paying the increase or cancelling your booking. In the event that you cancel in these circumstances we will provide you with a full refund. Our cancellation charges will not apply.

We have no liability to inform you of any minor and non-material changes to your booking or of any other changes which may occur due to circumstances beyond our control.

By Us

We may be forced to cancel any booking due to insufficient numbers or other circumstances beyond our control. Where tickets or places are unavailable for any reason we will refund to you all sums paid by you to us relating to your booking.

Where there is a cancellation, delay or suspension of any event by any third party (including any sponsor, host, promoter or venue) or due to any other circumstances beyond our control we will provide no refund unless and until we are reimbursed by the third party responsible.

In the event of your insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation, administration or receivership or any arrangement (voluntary or otherwise) being made or entered into by you with or for the benefit of any of your creditors or any such similar arrangement at any time, we reserve the right to treat your booking as being cancelled and our Cancellation Charges will apply.
