The only exception to this clause is when the event date is 7 or fewer days from the date/time of the booking. In this instance the client shall be liable to make full payment and shall not be entitled to any refunds of deposits already made.

b) Cancellation after 7 days of the date/time of booking and more than 6 months until the date of the event: the client shall be liable to pay 0% of the outstanding balance.

25. The client should notify their wish to cancel a booking at the first instance available by telephone. This request should also be followed up in writing.

26. A booking shall only be deemed as cancelled once the company has sent confirmation of the cancellation in writing.

Rescheduling

27. It is not possible to amend the event date of a booking.

28. Therefore; unless otherwise agreed in writing, where a client wishes to change their event date from the one originally booked then this shall be treated as a cancellation of the original booking subject to the cancellation terms.

32. All ‘services’ provided on an unlimited basis are subject to a ‘fair usage’ policy whereby the company may exercise its rights to limit the usage of the service should it feel that the service is being abused or being used for purposes not stated at the time of booking.
