OUR TERMS & CONDITIONS FOR BOOKINGS

 

AGREEMENT

Making a booking on The Talent Journal website involves creating a legally binding contract, the “Agreement”, between you, all of your Guests, and us. The parties to this Agreement are: (1) the person who makes the booking and enters into the Agreement and all Guests made under the same booking, referred to throughout the Agreement as “you” or “your”, and (2) our company, The Talent Journal, a publication of The Talent Publishing Limited, a company registered in England & Wales. Company no. 06320905. The Talent Journal is referred to in this Agreement as the “Company”, “we”, and “us”. By making the booking on behalf of one or more Guests you confirm that you are authorised to agree to these terms and conditions on behalf of each Guest.

 

We provide our events and services to you subject to this Agreement, so as always with a binding contract, you should read through it carefully before making a booking. We may make changes to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, but the latest version will always appear on this page. If you continue to use our website or services after changes have been made, you will be considered to have accepted the changes to the Agreement between us.

 

DEFINITIONS

In this Agreement, the following capitalised words have these specific meanings.

‘Event’ means any event or facility offered on the website, including without limitation classes, events, workshops, sessions, meals, weekends, retreats, university and hiring of premises.

‘Day Event’ means any Event not involving an overnight stay.

‘Guest’ means a person (including friends, relatives, acquaintances, employees, employers or any other person with whom you have a business relationship) attending an Event under a booking made by you.

‘Overnight Event’ means any Event involving the provision to you of at least one night’s accommodation.

‘International Event’ means any Event which takes place at a location outside of the United Kingdom.

 

BOOKINGS

When you book with us through our website, the booking won’t be confirmed until we send you your electronic ticket, even if you‘ve transferred money to us. We do reserve the right to refuse bookings for any lawful reason, although we don’t expect to have to do this very often.

 

We will usually email you your e-ticket, to the email address provided when you set up your account, within 48 hours of booking. If you have not received your e-ticket within 48 hours of booking, please check your spam or junk email folder or filter and then contact us. It is your responsibility to ensure that your email is set up to allow you to receive your e-ticket, and we cannot accept any liability for any consequences of your not doing so.

 

You’ll need to bring all your e-ticket(s) with you to the Event and show them at the door to be admitted, so make sure you have access to a printer and that you check the details carefully as soon as you receive the email. It is your responsibility to do this and we won’t be able to help if you get the date, time or location wrong, or to admit you to the Event if you forget to bring your e-ticket along. Incidentally, it’s fine to bring along any Internet-enabled device such as iPhones or Blackberries in order to show us your ticket, but make sure it’s charged and functioning, as we won’t be able to admit you unless the ticket is displayed to our satisfaction.

 

The price for each Event is displayed on the website and must be paid in full, and in the currency stated, by debit or credit card at the time of booking. On very rare occasions, the price might change due to unforeseen events, but you will always have the opportunity to cancel in the event that the price increases.

 

Gift vouchers must be used within 12 months of the purchase date. So if someone has been kind enough to buy you one, or if you’re buying a voucher for someone else, do make a note of the purchase date and remember to use the voucher before it expires.

 

If you have any special dietary, health or other requirements, please notify us at the time of booking at registry@thetalentjournal.com. We will try to accommodate you, although we cannot guarantee that we will be able to. If it turns out that we are unable to meet your requirements, you can cancel your booking up to 10 days for Day Events/30 days for Overnight or International Events in advance as normal and get a full refund. However, if you fail to notify us in advance and cancel within the stated period(s) as a result of our inability to accommodate you, we will not be able to offer a refund. In view of this, if you are booking within the relevant period, it is your responsibility to email us in advance of booking and obtain confirmation via email that we can accommodate you.

 

CANCELLATIONS OR CHANGES TO BOOKINGS

We want you to book with confidence, and as such we will accept cancellations up to 10 days before a Day Event or 30 days before an Overnight or International Event, refunding your money in full. You must notify us by email at registry@thetalentjournal.com, and we must receive your email, in order to receive a refund. Fewer than 10 days before a Day Event or 30 days before an Overnight or International Event, though, we will use our discretion, and in most circumstances we won’t be able to offer you a refund.

 

If you need to change the date of your ticket, or the name of the ticket holder, you’ll need to cancel, by emailing registry@thetalentjournal.com, and rebook. Unfortunately, we can’t alter the dates of tickets or the names of ticket holders.

 

If we need to cancel an Event for any reason, we may do so at any time before the Event is scheduled to begin. We do not expect this to happen except in exceptional circumstances, and of course we’ll refund your ticket money in full, or offer you a choice of alternative date or Event, but we won’t be able to compensate you for any other expenses you’ve incurred in connection with the Event.

 

We will try to notify you of cancellations, but we can’t guarantee this, especially when an Event is cancelled at short notice. Keeping your details updated by logging into the website will give us a better chance of reaching you in time.

 

ATTENDANCE AND CONDUCT

Please ensure you arrive on time for your Event. For the benefit of all attendees, we will not admit you to your Event any later than: (a) for Day Events or International Events, 30 minutes after the advertised start time; or (b) for Overnight Events, one hour after the advertised start time. In addition, we may have to carry out security searches on occasion, and admittance will be conditional on your co-operation.

 

We may sometimes film, photograph or otherwise record our Events. Please note that your consent to being filmed or recorded as an attendee is a condition of this contract. By buying a ticket, you confirm the consent of you and all your Guests to being filmed or recorded. The recordings may be made available to the public via the website or by other means.

 

For everyone’s sake, we (and on our behalf, the staff of the venue) reserve the right to refuse you and/or any Guest admission or ask you and/or any Guest to leave if we think you and/or they are behaving in a disruptive way or in a way that violates the venue’s rules, or in a way that is likely to cause damage, nuisance, offence or injury. Just to be clear, this kind of behaviour includes using mobile phones after being asked to turn them off, or using recording or photographic equipment without authorisation. We will not issue any refund in this event.

 

We also request, and by entering into this Agreement you agree, to ensure that you and all Guest(s) attending an Event under a booking made by you comply with all health and safety, licensing, and other rules and regulations of the venue or applicable to the venue. It is your responsibility to familiarise yourself and all Guest(s) with any rules and regulations that apply. You also agree not to bring in any illegal or hazardous items.

 

You also agree to comply with any reasonable request by the staff at the venue or supervising the Event (for example, without limitation, requests relating to health and safety).

 

LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY

Nothing in this Agreement excludes or limits our liability for personal injury or death caused by our negligence or in any other circumstance where such limitation of liability is not permitted by applicable law. The following two paragraphs apply subject to this paragraph, the provisions of which shall prevail in the event of any conflict.

 

Our total aggregate liability in contract, tort (including negligence or breach of statutory duty), misrepresentation, restitution or otherwise arising in connection with this Agreement, shall be limited to the total amount received by us from you in connection with the Event or Event(s) giving rise to such liability.

 

You attend and participate in Events at your own risk. We accept no responsibility for any of the following:

- in respect of any person prevented from entering a venue, or asked to leave due to their conduct;

- costs or expenses whatsoever or howsoever arising out of or in connection with any Event

- loss or damage to personal property

- personal injury, except as set out above. Liability is specifically excluded in respect of any dietary, health or other special requirement of which we were not informed at the time of booking

- loss of data, profit, revenue, use, business, anticipated savings, goodwill, reputation or opportunity, financial or economic loss or any indirect or consequential loss or damage.

Company no. 06320905. The Talent Journal is referred to in this Agreement as the “Company”, “we”, and “us”.

 

We may make changes to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, but the latest version will always appear on this page. Any changes to this Agreement will apply to all new orders placed after the change is published on the Website. You should check this Agreement before each order you place, in case it has changed since your last visit.

 

Separate terms and conditions apply for bookings with the Talent Journal, and to your use of the Website. By using the Website (even if you don't buy any goods) you also agree to be bound by the Website Terms of Use. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the Website Terms of Use, this Agreement will prevail.

 

DEFINITIONS

In this Agreement, the following capitalised words have these specific meanings.

‘Product’ means an item available for sale on the Website.

‘Website’ means The Talent Journal Website.

 

ORDERING

Orders of Product(s) are subject to availability. When you place an order, we will confirm it by email, but the order will only become legally binding on us when we send you an email confirming dispatch of the Product(s). If we cannot fulfil your order for any reason, we will notify you as soon as we reasonably can.

 

We try to ensure that product details displayed on the Website are correct and up-to-date. However, any error or omission in any information on the Website, or in any other communication or document issued by us, may be corrected without any liability on our part. You will then be given the option of re-confirming your order at the correct price or cancelling your order. If you have already paid for the Product(s) at the erroneous price, you will receive a full refund if you decide to cancel. Images of products on the Website are intended as a guide and the actual product may differ slightly in some respects. All weights and dimensions given are approximate. Before clicking the ‘Confirm Order’ button, you should check that your order summary is correct. You should print or retain your email confirmation in case you need to contact us about your order.

 

PAYMENT

Unless otherwise stated, all prices shown on the Website are inclusive of VAT (where applicable) and other applicable UK taxes. The prices shown do not include the delivery fee, which will be added to your total order price.

 

Orders must be paid for immediately by credit or debit card. If we cannot accept your order for any reason, we will process a full refund within seven days.

 

DELIVERY

We will endeavour to deliver the Product(s) as soon as possible after confirmation of your order. However, we cannot accept responsibility for loss or damage caused by any delay in delivering the Product(s). We will try to keep you informed in the event of any delay.

 

Delivery will be to the address specified by you when ordering. If you are ordering goods for delivery outside of the EU, please check what taxes or duties may apply, as you will have to pay these yourself. We do not know and cannot control what charges you may have to pay once the Product(s) reach the destination country.

 

As soon as the Product(s) are delivered to you, you become the owner of those Product(s) and the risk will pass to you. This means that you will be liable for any subsequent damage, loss or destruction to the Product(s).

 

RIGHT TO CANCEL THE CONTRACT

This clause applies only to consumers. If you are buying Product(s) as or on behalf of a business, the rights contained in this clause do not apply to you.

 

You may cancel the contract at any time within seven working days from the day after you receive the Product(s), and we will refund the purchase price and delivery fee in full within 30 days, subject to the following conditions:

- You must inform us in writing (email is fine) of your decision to cancel the contract.

- The Product(s) must be returned to us (at The Talent Journal) immediately, in the same condition in which you received them, and at your own cost and risk. If the goods are faulty, we will pay for the cost of returning them to us.

- If the Product(s) are audio or video recordings or computer software, you may not remove them from the sealed packaging. If you do this, you will lose your right to cancel the contract.

You must take good care of the Product(s) while they are in your possession. If you fail to do so, you may be liable to us for compensation.

 

LIABILITY

Our entire liability to you for loss or damage arising out of this Agreement is limited to the price paid for the Product(s) you purchased. The only exceptions to this are that we do not limit our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or for fraud, or for any matter for which it would be illegal for us to exclude, or attempt to exclude, our liability.

 

We shall not be liable for any loss of business, loss of revenue or profits, loss of goodwill, lost opportunity, or any indirect, special, exemplary, consequential, incidental or punitive loss or damage whatsoever, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

 

We do not warrant that the Website or the server that makes it available is error or virus free or free of other harmful components or that your use of the Website will be uninterrupted. We accept no liability for any inaccuracies on the Website, or for any decisions taken in reliance on information on the Website. We exclude to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law all liability for any loss, claim, expenses or damages whatsoever directly or indirectly arising out of the use or inability to use the Website. 

 

DATA PROTECTION

We may use a third party company to fulfil your order. In this case, we will need to share your personal information with them; specifically, your name, address and telephone number. By placing an order, you consent to our sharing your details with such third party for the purpose of fulfilling your order only.

 

FORCE MAJEURE

We shall not be liable for any breach of these terms and conditions which is a result of circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including without limitation war, insurrection, riot, civil unrest, sabotage, boycott, embargo, explosion, fire, earthquake, flood, unavoidable accident, epidemic, act of God, action or inaction of any governmental official or agency (civil or military) and refusal of any licences or permits, if properly applied for.

These links are provided as a convenience and these Websites are not controlled by us in any way and we are not responsible for the content, accuracy, completeness, legality or any other aspect of these other Websites including any content provided on them. You access such Websites at your own risk.

 

Assignment: You may not transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of its interest in this agreement without our prior written consent.

 

Rights of Third Parties: Nothing in the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 shall operate to give any third party the right to enforce any term of this contract.

 

Severability: If any provision in this agreement is deemed to be illegal, unenforceable or invalid for any reason, it shall be deemed to have been struck out and the remaining provisions shall survive and continue to be binding and enforceable.

 

No waiver: Any failure by us to enforce any provision of this agreement at any time shall not be construed as a waiver of such provision and shall not affect our right to enforce such provision.
