Confirmation Process 1.1. Once you complete your online booking, please check the order carefully before confirming it. After you have confirmed and submitted your booking, we will process this immediately. Your booking is not confirmed until you receive an email confirmation from us which sets out details of the place at the event and other useful information. 1.2. If you do not receive our email confirmation within 24 hours for conferences and 7 days for forums of you submitting our online booking, please contact us at conferences@haymarket.com for conferences or live.events@haymarket.com for forums as soon as possible before the start of the event. It is your responsibility to update us of any changes to your contact details so that we are able to contact you. 1.3. These Terms & Conditions and the Agreement are made only in the English language. 2. Venue & Special Requirements 2.1. You must comply with the rules and regulations governing the Venue. If you bring any property to the Venue, you do so at your own risk. We are not responsible for any loss and/or damage to such property. If you are using car parking facilities at the Venue, you do so entirely at your own risk. We do not accept any responsibility for any loss and/or damage resulting from your use of such car parking facilities. We reserve the right to refuse admission to any person whom we consider in our absolute discretion to be unsuitable for admission to the event or to remove you without notice after the start of the event, for example if your behaviour is deemed disruptive, offensive, dangerous, illegal, or if you are found to be distributing unauthorised material. 2.2. We make every effort to ensure our events are accessible for all delegates. For any specific access requirements please contact the conference team at conferences@haymarket.com or the forums team at live.events@haymarket.com. 2.3. At our events, we provide delegates with a vegetarian lunch option as standard. If you have any additional requirements due to a disability, food allergies or for any other reason, please email us at conferences@haymarket.com for conferences and live.events@haymarket.com for forums as soon as possible and, in any event, 7 days before the start of the event. 3. Conference Changes 3.1. We reserve the right to make any changes to the event at any time without prior written notice. For example, such changes may include changing the programme (including, but not limited to, the speakers), date, time and/or the Venue. Additionally, any discounts or offers advertised for a particular event (such as “Early Bird” offers) may be time limited and/or subject to availability and will be subject to additional terms and conditions. 4. Cancellations & Substitutions 4.1. We reserve the right to cancel an event at our sole discretion for any reason and at any time. In the event of cancellation other than a Force Majeure Event, we will refund any registration fees paid. In all circumstances, we will use reasonable endeavours to notify you of such cancellation. 4.2. Conference cancellations; If you wish to cancel, you must email us at conferences@haymarket.com as soon as possible as this will impact on whether we can give you a refund of your registration fees. Unless stated otherwise in the online registration form, if you cancel 30 calendar days or more before the first day of the event, we will refund your registration fees minus the administration fee set out in the event information. However, if you cancel less than 30 calendar days before the first day of the event, we will not be able to refund your registration fees. 4.3. Forum cancellations: All cancellations must be made in writing to live.events@haymarket.com. It is your responsibility to ensure that we have received the cancellation. As there are a limited number of complimentary places available, our Forums Team wants to make sure that none of the places are wasted and all forum attendees, delegates and suppliers get the most out of the event by meeting each other and making profitable connections and partnerships. Therefore, if you cancel 6 weeks prior to the event, you will subsequently be charged a cancellation/non-attendance fee of £400. If you cancel 4 weeks prior to the event, fail to attend the event and/or fail to attend all of your pre-arranged 1-2- 1 meetings with suppliers, you will be charged a cancellation/non-attendance fee of £800. These charges are to compensate for hotel space that has been guaranteed in advance, the administration resulting from last minute changes in itineraries and the knock-on effect on other delegates and suppliers. If we have incurred costs in relation to your travel to the Forum or agreed to reimburse you for these travel costs, you will be liable for 100% of these costs in the event of cancellation. 4.4. Please note that any cancellations that still have payments outstanding will be liable for either the administration fee or the full registration fee, depending on the date and time of the cancellation. 4.5. If you cannot attend the event, we are happy to accept a substitute delegate without charge. Please send your request at least 72 hours for conferences and two weeks’ notice for forums before the first day of the event at conferences@haymarket.com for conferences and live.events@haymarket.com for forums setting out the name of the delegate who will not be attending as well as the full name of the substitute, job title and contact details. If the substitute delegate has differing requirements (e.g. dietary) from the original delegate, we may not be able to accommodate such changes if we have not been given sufficient notice as set out above. We may reject any unsuitable delegates at our absolute discretion. The substitute delegate must be from the same organisation and for forums, the substitute must have at least the same level of purchasing responsibility as you. 5. Registration Fees & Payment 5.1. Registration fees are correct at the time of going to press but may be subject to changes. For conferences and forums, the registration fees include light refreshments, lunch and event materials. Conference fees do not usual include transport and accommodation. Forums will usually include one night’s accommodation at the host hotel free of charge and we will pay for travel costs only at our discretion provided that we have agreed this in writing in advance. 5.2.
