Booking terms and conditions

Booking terms and conditions

    1. Introduction

    2.   Bookings made through our website, and our and your rights and obligations in relation to such bookings, are governed by these terms and conditions.
    3.   You will be asked to give your express agreement to these terms and conditions before you place an order on our website.
    4.   This document does not affect any statutory rights you may have as a consumer.

    1. Interpretation

    2.   In these terms and conditions:
      1. “we” means Unconventional Legal Events Ltd
        (and “us and “our” should be construed accordingly);
      2. “you” means our customer or prospective customer under these terms and conditions (and “your” should be construed accordingly);
      3. “booking” means a booking in respect of an event
        , which may be made by you under these terms and conditions; and
      4. “force majeure event” means an event that is, or a series of related events that are, beyond our reasonable control.

    1. Order process

    2.   The advertising of bookings on our website constitutes an “invitation to treat” rather than a contractual offer.
    3.   No contract will come into force between you and us unless and until we accept your order in accordance with the procedure set out in this Section 3.
    4.   To make a booking through our website, the following steps must be taken: you must click “make a booking” in relation to the relevant event; you will then be directed to the third party booking platform TicketTailor (tickettailor.com); you must then choose the event you wish to purchase tickets for along with the ticket type; you will then be asked to provide information about the person or persons who will be attending the event; you must then consent to these terms and conditions; you will then be asked to make payment through the third party ticket provider; our payment service provider Stripe (stripe.com) will handle your payment; and, finally, we will either send you an order confirmation (at which point your order will become a binding contract) or we will confirm by email that we are unable to meet your order.
    5.   You will have the opportunity to identify and correct input errors prior to making your order.

    1. Prices

    2.   Our prices are quoted on our website.
    3.   We will from time to time change the prices quoted on our website, but this will not affect contracts that have previously come into force.
    4.   All amounts stated in these terms and conditions or on our website are stated exclusive of VAT.

    1. Payments

    2.   You must pay the applicable prices for your bookings during the checkout procedure.
    3.   Payments may be made by any of the permitted methods specified on our website from time to time.

    1. Variation of booking

    2.   If you would like to change your booking in any way, you should contact us to discuss your requested changes. We reserve the right to accept or reject any changes you may request.
    3.   We may change the time and date and/or location of an event that is the subject of a booking by giving to you written notice of the change at least 14 days before the event is due to begin. If we notify you of a change to a booking under this Section 6.2, you shall have a right to cancel the booking and receive a full refund of the price paid in respect of the booking, providing that your notice of cancellation must be received by us within 7 days following the date of issue of our notification of the change. If your notice of cancellation is received after the end of that period, you will not be entitled to a refund under this Section 6.2.

    1. Cancellation of bookings by us

    2.   We may cancel a contract under these terms and conditions:
      1. at least 14 days before the event in respect of which the Contract was made begins; or
      2. at any time if in our opinion you have booked the wrong ticket type, for example you have booked a law firm delegate ticket but do not work for a law firm
        .
    3.   We will give you written notice of any contract cancellation under this Section 7.
    4.   If we cancel a contract under these terms and conditions in accordance with this Section 7, you will be entitled to a full refund of the price paid under that contract.

    1. Distance contracts: cancellation right

    2.   This Section 9 applies if and only if you offer to contract with us, or contract with us, as a consumer – that is, as an individual acting wholly or mainly outside your trade, business, craft or profession.
    3.   You may withdraw an offer to enter into a contract with us through our website, or cancel a contract entered into with us through our website, at any time within the period:

      2. if the services are partially performed at the time of cancellation, you must pay to us an amount proportional to the services supplied or we may deduct such amount from any refund due to you in accordance with this Section 9.
    5.   In order to withdraw an offer to contract or cancel a contract on the basis described in this Section 9, you must inform us of your decision to withdraw or cancel (as the case may be). You may inform us by means of any clear statement setting out the decision. In the case of cancellation, you may inform us using the cancellation form that we will make available to you. To meet the cancellation deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning the exercise of the right to cancel before the cancellation period has expired.
    6.   If you withdraw an offer to contract, or cancel a contract, on the basis described in this Section 9, you will receive a full refund of any amount you paid to us in respect of the offer or contract, except as specified in this Section 9.
