DEFINITIONS AND INTERPRETATIONS

These terms and conditions set out our obligations to you and your commitments to us when booking events with Red Cactus Events LTD. Our aim is to be as professional, resourceful and courteous as possible with both our customers, and suppliers. “we”, “our” and “us” means Red Cactus Events “you”, “Your” or “Yourself” means the person making the reservation, and “group” includes all people traveling with you. All events, activities, transport, accommodation, meals and other services of any description will be described as “Arrangements”. “In writing” means by facsimile, email or letter. “Lead Customer” means the person who has placed the booking. All bookings are made and accepted as a group booking and the person placing the booking takes responsibility for the reservation is the Lead Customer.

The lead customer warrants that he/she, and all group members, are over 18 years of age and that the Group Leader has full capacity and authority to secure the booking in accordance with these Booking Conditions on behalf of all persons whose names appear in the booking and of others whom he/she may later add to the group. The lead customer agrees, on behalf of all group members, to be bound by these Booking Conditions. We reserve the right to decline a booking at our entire discretion. All our arrangements are made up of different elements that are available to be purchased separately. This allows you to purchase just the accommodation element of the itinerary or any particular activities individually that feature within the quoted itinerary. We will treat each component separately so that the price charged in total for the booking of more than one component will always equal the prices charged separately for each individual component. Prices confirmed to you prior to your payment of your deposit will be listed and priced by component, with each component available to buy separately at the same price as if more than one component is booked. The flexibility we offer means that any multiple bookings do not constitute a package as defined in the Package Travel, Package Holidays and Package Tours Regulations 1992.

1.0 BOOKING

1.1 Bookings are taken on the basis that they are made by a Group Leader. When you make a booking and pay your initial payment we will take an estimate of group numbers and will reserve your arrangements in accordance with these Booking Conditions. A binding contract between us will come into existence only when we send our Booking Confirmation to you. Prior to doing so, we may send you an acknowledgement of your booking. Any such acknowledgement simply indicates that we are dealing with your booking request and is not a confirmation of it. If your preferred time is no longer available at the time of paying, the next available slot will be booked up to an hour either side of your preferred time.

1.2 Please check your Booking Confirmation together with all other documents we send you, as soon as you receive them. Contact us immediately if any information which appears on the Booking Confirmation or elsewhere appears to be incorrect or incomplete, as it may not be possible to make changes further down the line. We regret we cannot accept any responsibility if we are not notified of any inaccuracies in any document within 24 hours of our sending it out. Whilst we will do our best to rectify any inaccuracies notified outside these time limits, you will be responsible for any costs and expenses involved in doing so.

1.3 Any contract is with the Group Leader as shown on the Booking Confirmation. Unless you advise us to the contrary we will assume that every member of your group is over 18 years of age. If this is not the case and some members of your party do not fall into this age category, please check with us that the events you book can accommodate the younger members of your party. If this is not checked prior to your booking and you encounter problems during your arrangements, we cannot be held liable.

1.4 The Group Leader is responsible for ensuring that other members of his/her party are aware of these Booking Conditions and that they consent to him/her acting on their behalf in dealings with us.

1.5 The Group Leader is responsible for the reservation and for ensuring that all monies due for a booking are collected and paid on time by the members of the group. The Group Leader assumes all responsibility to settle the balance of the invoice for a confirmed booking before the final balance due date. An event pack confirming all elements of the event will be sent to the Group Leader once the groups payments have completed, no changes can be made by the Group Leader to any element of the event without Red Cactus Events confirming that changes can be made. In the event of any change by the Group Leader charges may apply.

1.6 The Group Leader is responsible for the venue if we are not providing the venue for your activity. We will need approximately 25m x 25m, access to power and the surface must be suitable for a sporting activity with no obstacles or uneven ground that could cause injury. The pitch hired must be either grass, astro, 3G/4G or all weather multi purpose. We cannot play on concrete or tennis courts. If you are playing indoors this must be a sports hall and we will need clearance from the sports centre to use the facility.

If you provide your own venue and we are unable to run your activity due to health and safety (above requirements not met) there will be no refund.

2.0 OUR PRICE POLICY AND PAYMENT TERMS

2.1 We reserve the right to alter prices shown on any website and we will inform you of any price changes prior to the issue of our Booking Confirmation. Once our Booking Confirmation has been issued then, save in the case of manifest or system error, the price shown on the Booking Confirmation shall apply and no surcharges or other fees will be levied save where expressly provided for in these Booking Conditions.

2.2 When you make your booking the Group Leader is required to pay a non-refundable initial payment of £50 or such other figure that may be agreed during the sales process. Each member of the group is then required to pay a non-refundable minimum payment of £30 or such other figure as may be agreed during the sales process, in order to secure their place. Unless a different timescale for payment is confirmed by us in writing, the final balance of the total price of your arrangements must be paid by each member of the group at least 42 days prior to your arrangements commencing. It is the Group Leader’s responsibility to make sure that all payments are made by members of the group by the due date for payment. Each member of your group is able to pay separately through our online payment system and final numbers for your arrangements will be determined by us based solely on the numbers who have paid the balance required in full as at the date 42 days prior to the arrangements commencing (or any other final balance date specified). If your arrangements are due to commence within 42days of your booking, then the total price shall be payable at the time of booking and numbers will be confirmed at the point at which we accept your booking and receive payment. Any amendments must be confirmed by the group member and are subject to charges as outlined in 3.1.

2.3 Should the final balance not be received by us in time, we will inform the Lead Customer that the payment is overdue. If you do not, then pay us within three days we will be entitled to treat your booking as cancelled by you and retain your deposit. If we do not cancel straightaway because you have promised to make a payment you must in addition pay the cancellation charges (See 3.3 Changes and Cancellations by you) depending on the date, we reasonably treat your booking as cancelled. Under all circumstances; all deposits, part payments, treatments, theatre or show tickets, administration charges, insurance premiums, service fees and transfers are non-refundable and non-transferable.

2.4. The Contract set out in these terms and conditions will be between Red Cactus Events and with the person who requested and received a written quotation. Where a quote has been received and a different person pays the deposit, the contract will remain in the name of the person who received the written quotation. Once all group members have paid and the final balance has been cleared we will confirm your booking by sending a confirmation email at this point a binding contract between us will come into existence. By making your booking with us, you will be regarded as having had the opportunity to have viewed and understood our booking terms and conditions.

3.0 CHANGES AND CANCELLATIONS BY YOU

3.1 If you require a change to your booking in any way you must contact us in writing as soon as possible. We cannot guarantee that changes can be made but we will try and accommodate your requests as best as possible. You will be charged for any extra costs incurred by ourselves and any costs or charges incurred or imposed by any of our suppliers. These charges will be made aware to the lead customer who is responsible for the payment of all charges within 72 hours of an amendment being agreed. Please be aware these are not amendment charges but charges dictated on ourselves by our suppliers. As an example; if you require to reduce the number of players for an event to below the minimum number of participants stated for a booking the price per person will increase as we are required to pay for the minimum number of participants.

Note: We will always try to accommodate any changes, subject to availability. Charges are as follows:

• £10 administration charge should you need to need to change any elements of your event (eg. date, time or destination) when a deposit has been paid where it is more than 42 days prior to your event date.
• £15 administration charge should you need to need to change any elements of your event (eg. date, time or destination) or cancel your event after the balance has been paid where it is more than 42 days prior to your event date.
• £5 administration charge to remove someone after the balance has been paid where it is more than 15 days prior to your event date.
• Individual payments – £25 administration charge if after paying your deposits you wish to remove or add yourself or another group member to individual elements of the booking (e.g individual activities or accommodation).

3.2 Should your group numbers decrease and we are advised of the amendment at least 42 days prior to your arrangements start date, and the final payment has not been made, we will not charge you for the reduction in the groups size subject to the group numbers meeting the required number of participants for an event. Specific arrangements require a minimum group size, if your group size drops below the minimum required you will be liable to pay the final balance for this arrangement based on the minimum group size required. In the event that we are able to refund a participant who is no longer able to attend there will be a £5 administration fee applied to any refund whether full or partial.

3.3 All cancellations must be notified to us in writing immediately. If you cancel the whole booking before the final payment is due, your deposits will not be refunded. However, provided you notify us of your cancellation before your final balance is due; your deposit may be transferred to another mutually agreed date within 12 calendar months of the original booking date. If you cancel the whole booking after final balances have been paid by individual group members or part payments have been received, all monies are non-refundable in the event the lead customer cancels the booking within 42 days of the start date for packages that include accommodation and 35 days for activities only events.

Amount you must pay unless your event organiser has specified differently.

Where a whole booking is cancelled with more than 42 days’ notice your deposits are non-refundable but any final balances or part payments can be refunded to each individual with an administration charge of £5 per transaction.

3.4 All prices are inclusive of value added tax or similar sales tax.

4.2 Wherever possible we will always try and accommodate reduction in numbers incurring no cost to the group. However, should the numbers attending be insufficient to run all or part of the event we reserve the right to charge the group for the minimum numbers required for the event.

4.3 The majority of changes made by us will be minor for example a change in venue for an activity where the new venue also hosts the same activity or a change in accommodation where the accommodation is changed to the same or a higher standard. In the rare event that we are forced to change or cancel, we will inform you as soon as possible.

4.4 We will always endeavour to notify you of any changes as soon as possible. However, under no circumstance are we obliged to refund any element of a weekend cancelled due to war and, threat of war, riots, terrorist activity, industrial disputes, natural disasters, fire, airport closures (delayed flights), bad weather conditions and similar events beyond our control.

IF WE CHANGE YOUR ARRANGEMENTS BEFORE DEPARTURE

4.5 We hope and expect to be able to provide you with all the services we have confirmed to you in our Booking Confirmation. We plan arrangements in advance using independent suppliers such as venues, hotels, activity suppliers etc., over whom we have no direct control. On occasions changes do have to be made, and we reserve the right to make these. Most of these changes are minor. However, if we consider them a “Significant Change” we will endeavour to advise you as soon as reasonably possible. A Significant Change includes, purely by way of example, a significant change of booking destination.

4.6 In the case of a Significant Change before your departure we will provide you with three alternatives:

4.7 alternative arrangements of equivalent or of closely similar (‘like for like’) standard and price, if available, or

4.8 alternative arrangements of a lower standard together with a refund of the difference in price; or

5.1 In the unlikely event we need to cancel your arrangements we will tell you as soon as possible. If we have to cancel your arrangements, we will provide you with three alternatives:

5.3 Alternative arrangements of a lower standard together with a refund of the difference in price; or

5.4 cancel the particular arrangements effected with a full refund of all monies paid. In all 3 cases, compensation will be paid as detailed in clause 6.0 below unless the change occurs as a result of circumstances beyond our control (in which case clause 7.0 will apply) or we cancel as a result of your failure to pay your deposit or the balance or any other sum when due or where clause

5.5 applies.

5.5 We regret that some arrangements shown on our website can only be operated if a sufficient number of people book onto the group booking. If there are insufficient numbers booked on your group, we have the right to cancel the arrangements in question or require an increase in the total payable by each person in the group. If we have to do so, we will tell you as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event prior to the arrangement starting. Where we cancel for lack of numbers in accordance with this clause, no compensation or other amounts (for example, the return of monies paid or the cost of any connected travel arrangements you have made independently) will be payable.

9.1. SPECIAL REQUESTS

If you have a special request, we will do our best to help, but we cannot guarantee it except as set out below. Please advise us of your request at the time of booking and make sure that we are given as much detail as possible. If your special request is vital to your arrangements, it must be specifically agreed with us before or at the time you book. We will comply with any special request which we have specifically agreed and confirmed in writing. General confirmation that a special request has been noted or passed on to the supplier or the inclusion of a special request on your Booking Confirmation or on the acknowledgement of your booking or any other documentation is not confirmation that the request will be met. Unless and until specifically confirmed in writing all special requests are subject to availability. If any additional cost is applicable, it must be paid for immediately.

9.2 YOUR DOCUMENTATION

9.2.1 You are responsible for ensuring that you and all other persons included in your group satisfy all passport, visa, travel insurance and health certificate requirements and we accept no responsibility for any refusal of travel or entry into any destination or for any liabilities, losses, delays or expenses incurred through any irregularity in such documentation. If you have any queries with regard to documentation and insurance requirements you must raise them with us well in advance. This includes sufficient photo ID for venues requiring proof of age where we can accept no liability for refusal of entry, on this or any other grounds. In the event we are asked to re-issue tickets that have been lost, destroyed or stolen and we agree to do so, any charges incurred as a result of this will be payable by you.

9.3. HEALTH PRECAUTIONS

9.3.1 Some of our arrangements involve strenuous activities. It is your responsibility to ensure that you and your group members have the levels of health and fitness required for any particularly strenuous activities.

9.3.2 You must provide us with full details of any existing medical or physical problem (including unusual height or weight) or disability that may apply to any member of your group and which affect your arrangements (including, in particular, any accommodation requirements) at the time of booking. If in our reasonable opinion, your chosen arrangements are not suitable for the medical or physical problem or disability or you are not travelling with someone who can provide all assistance that may be required, we have the right to refuse to accept the booking or you may not be able to participate in certain events in which event we shall not be liable for any losses or compensation arising. If you do not give us full details of any medical or physical problem or disability at the time of booking, we can also cancel the booking when we find out the full details if in our reasonable opinion the arrangements are not suitable in the circumstances. If we cancel in this situation, monies paid towards the event will be non-refundable and cancellation charges as set out in clause 6.0 must be paid by the person concerned.

9.4. INSURANCE

9.4.1 It is your responsibility to make sure you have suitable insurance in place prior to travel. We cannot be held responsible for any costs you incur as a result of failing to have suitable insurance in place prior to travel. If you are unable to attend all or some aspect of your arrangements for any reason outside of your control, and you have the appropriate cover in place, we will be happy to provide you with a Statement of Payments Received to support an insurance claim, but please note that we are unable to confirm or deny your participation in the event. 9.4.2 If you participate in sports and activities whilst travelling, whether or not organised and arranged independently of us, it should be understood that participation is at the individual’s own risk and it is your responsibility to ensure that such activities are covered by your insurance policy.

9.5. BEHAVIOUR

You must be responsible for the behaviour of yourself and your group, for the duration of the booking process and the event itself. We can refuse to accept you as a customer or refuse to continue dealing with you and/or any other member of your party by terminating your arrangements if behaviour is or is likely to be, in our reasonable opinion, or in the reasonable opinion of any accommodation supplier or other person in authority, disruptive, upsetting or dangerous to yourself or anyone else or if you or any member of your party have caused or are likely to cause damage to property. This includes but is not limited to the possession and consumption of illegal substances by any members of the group, which is strictly prohibited during all aspects of the itinerary. We will not pay any refund, compensation or other sum whatsoever or any costs or expenses incurred by you if we have to terminate your arrangements due to such unacceptable behaviour. In this situation we will then have no further responsibility for you or any other member of your party (including any return travel arrangements) and reserve the right to pass the contact details of the group leader to the provider in location, in order that they can attempt to recoup any charges they deem to be due in relation to damages caused by you, in line with clause H.2 below. Please be aware that if you have accommodation included in your arrangements, you are likely to be charged a refundable security bond on arrival. It is at the discretion of the accommodation provider to decide upon reasonable deductions for any damage incurred directly by your group, during your stay.

9.6. ACTIVITY TIMINGS AND LOCATIONS

Our itineraries are designed for you to achieve maximum enjoyment from your arrangements. The general advice and timings provided must be adhered to at all times and failure to do so may result in your group being unable to participate in particular activities. We cannot be held liable should you fail to follow our advice or adhere to our planned timings. You are required to contact us immediately if any information which appears on the Provisional Itinerary and/or Final Itinerary or elsewhere appears to be incorrect or incomplete, as it may not be possible to make changes further down the line. Please note on occasion certain activities such as dance classes and cocktail making will not confirm the venue until around one week prior to the activity commencing and as a result your itinerary may be sent without the location and will be confirmed to you nearer to the date of the activity in question taking place.

9.7. ACCOMMODATION AND SINGLE SUPPLEMENTS

When a group is staying at a hotel and there is an odd number in the group on any given night, we will, where possible try to place individuals in a triple room. If this is not possible a single supplement must be paid to cover the sole occupancy charge levied by the hotel. The single supplement charge will be specific to your hotel. We always try to place groups in twin rooms where available however if these are not available you may be in triple or quad rooms.

9.8. ACCOMMODATION AND ACTIVITY LOCATIONS

We define a “centrally located hotel” or similar as one approximately ten minutes’ drive or less from the respective city centre. We define an acceptable distance for an activity to be within one hour’s drive or less from the city centre. If the arrangements we are holding for you fall outside of this, you will be informed at the point of booking. For London arrangements, these distances cannot be guaranteed but we will aim to make your arrangements with no more than 40 minutes’ travel time between each element which we deem to be acceptable within this location.

In the event that the customer is unable to stay any compensation will be dealt with on a case to case basis.

In the event of an activity being unavailable we will endeavor to offer an alternative activity on the day of your event if we are able to offer an alternative, in the event that an alternative activity is offered to your group and accepted by your group by taking part in the activity a refund will not be applicable unless there is a different in cost between the original booked activity and the alternative participated in.

Please also be aware that some hotels may require a security ‘bond’ to be placed on hold with a credit card or cash, upon check in. We will do our utmost to give you prior notice where this might happen, but on some occasions this may not be possible. We accept no liability for any damage caused by any member of your group and will provide your contact details to any supplier seeking to claim compensation as a result of the actions of your party.

13.2 You accept and agree to indemnify us and our suppliers of any claim for injury, death or failure when participation of the booked itinerary is conducted whilst under the influence of medication, drugs, alcohol or any other substance, or against advice. Participation within the booked itinerary is at the sole discretion of the service providers and you may be refused participation or entry if the service provider deems group member(s) to be under the influence of medication, drugs, alcohol or any other substance and if this occurs, the service providers’ decision is final and we accept no liability whatsoever and you agree to indemnify us of any claim. All suppliers and hotels have every right to terminate, without notice, your stay or activity under threat of vandalism, violence or any other behaviour deemed inappropriate by them. In such cases all insurances will be invalidated and you will not have any entitlement to a refund of any kind whatsoever. No refunds will be made if you or any group members choose to leave your arrangements early or choose, for whatever reason, not to participate in any of the events on your itinerary.
