Services
The description of the services is as set out in the Website, catalogues, brochures or other form of advertisement. Any description is for illustrative purposes only and there may be small discrepancies in the final services supplied.
In the case of any services made to your special requirements, it is your responsibility to ensure that any information or specification you provide is accurate.
We can make changes to the services which are necessary to comply with any applicable law or safety requirement. We will notify you of these changes.
Personal information and Privacy
We retain and use your data strictly under the terms of our Privacy Policy.
We may contact you using e-mail or telephone unless you have expressly opted out of this.
Basis of Booking
Our acceptance of your booking will take place when we email you to accept it, at which point a contract will come into existence between you and us.
We will not accept your booking until you have paid the holding deposit of 50% of the Total Price as stated on the booking form. Your holding deposit is non-refundable unless specifically stated otherwise in the Contract.
In the unlikely event that we are unable to accept your booking we will inform you of this as soon as possible and refund your holding deposit.
Changes to Booking
Confirmations and requests for changes can be made by telephone or email and, where a request is material, this will be recorded by email or in writing. Neither party is obliged to agree to a request for a change but will use reasonable efforts to do so making clear any cost or other implications of such requested change.
Where we have to make a change to any component of the Event Services, we will use best endeavours to minimise the effect of this on you and to ensure that any replaced component is as similar to the changed component as is possible
If the client wishes to postpone the event, we will aim to accommodate for this. This may be subject to extra fees. If the client is unable to find a date suitable for both parties (Pristine Events and the client), we reserve the right to retain the deposit.
Price and Payment
You agree to make the following payments and any invoices which we submit to you are payable within seven days:
On signing the booking form: 50% of the Total Price (being the non refundable holding deposit).
2 months (60 days) prior to Event: the outstanding balance of the Total Price.
Immediately after the Event: the cost of any late add-ons previously agreed to which have not already been paid for.
For any amendments or add-ons which we both agree to, you agree to pay any additional costs which we have advised you of.
Certain components of the price for the Event may be subject to final confirmation, particularly for Events booked several months in advance. These components will be identified on the order form as “TBC” and confirmation will be provided to you as soon as possible.
All prices are inclusive of VAT however if the rate of VAT changes before the Event we will adjust the VAT you pay (and hence the overall price).
You acknowledge that the times of the Event as stated in the order form must be adhered to. If your Event continues beyond the agreed times, charges may be made, for example for further security, which you agree to reimburse in full.
If you do not pay us when you are supposed to (see section 23), we may suspend performance of the Event Services until you have paid us the outstanding amounts.
Additional Responsibilities
You are responsible for the actions of your guests and you must make sure that they do not do anything which would breach these terms and conditions. Any breach by your guests will be treated as a breach by you.
You must:
Provide us promptly with any information that we reasonably request from you (including a copy of the final guest list if required)
Provide us with final guest numbers no later than one month before the Event (however we should be able to agree revisions up to 2 weeks before the Event provided that numbers do not fall below the minimum level agreed in the order form)
Comply with, and ensure that your guests and Service Providers comply with, all of our reasonable instructions intended to ensure the safety and security of property and/or persons at the Venue.
Provide your guests and Service Providers with such information we may reasonably request regarding arrangements to be followed at the Venue (for example in relation to parking or vacating the Venue)
Where you engage a third party to assist or provide services to the Event, whether or not recommended by us (“Service Providers”), their actions and omissions and their compliance with the Contract are your responsibility.
You must ensure that all Service Providers:
Comply with the venues contractors policy which we will supply to you or them on request
