Event Specific Terms & Conditions

For All Events


At ThisWeekinFM (TWinFM/ the Company) it is of paramount importance to everyone in the Team that all our Clients (you) enjoy perfectly planned events and hospitality. Further, TWinFM want to ensure that both the initial booking and payment process runs smoothly subject to the Terms below.

Please note that all bookings (for packages, tables or tickets) ordered from the Company are subject to availability and prices are subject to change. All bookings made by the Client/you are bound by these terms and conditions and by placing an Order, you agree to be bound and adhere to these. These terms and conditions shall be governed by English law and shall be subject to the sole jurisdiction of the English courts.


1. Reservations/Bookings

Reservations/bookings are accepted strictly subject to availability and must be confirmed by email from the Client/you forthwith. The reservation only becomes an effective booking on the issue of a confirmation of booking to the Client/you by TWinFM.  A VAT invoice for the agreed amount will be sent automatically to the Client/you and payment of the sum due must be paid within 7 days of the date thereon, otherwise the Booking may be cancelled at TWinFM sole discretion. Any bookings which are made within 30 days of the event, must be paid in full immediately.

TWinFM will not dispatch tickets, passes and other documentation relevant to the booking, until all invoices then outstanding and payable to it by the Client/you are paid in full. No liability is accepted for losses suffered occasioned by late payment. A service charge of 2.65% will be added to each credit card payment to cover the bank charges, with 3.85% charged for American Express cards.

For reservations/bookings which involve foreign travel it is the sole responsibility of the Client/you to ensure that appropriate passports and any other travel documentation (including travel and medical insurance) are valid if details are required by TWinFM, they shall be provided promptly when requested, but TWinFM do not warrant that their inspection thereof will ascertain any deficiencies and if Clients/you are unable to travel as a result of failing to produce or have the necessary documentation, the Clients/you will be liable to pay any of the cancellation clause set out below. Furthermore, TWinFM will not and do not accept any responsibility or refund any money in cases where the Clients/you are unable to travel because of an invalid or mislaid passport or other necessary travel document.

Please note that the Company strongly advises all Clients to effect adequate Travel Insurance in connection with the Event and cannot be held responsible for any losses arising as a result of the Clients failure to do so.


2. Cancellation

In the event of cancellation by the Client/you, at any time after TWinFM has issued a ‘confirmation of booking’, the Client/you remains liable for the total value of the booking and any additional services booked. All cancellations are not valid until received by TWinFM in writing.

In the event of cancellation, TWinFM will use its reasonable endeavours to re-sell cancelled packages to mitigate the Client’s/your liability but no guarantee is given that this will occur. In the event of cancelled packages being re-sold, the Client/you agree that TWinFM shall be entitled to 25% of the total original booking value and any other services booked and subsequently cancelled such sum being deducted from any refund made.


3. Late Payments

Late payments of any invoice may incur an administration charge which is dependant on the number of outstanding invoices and number of notices sent.  Any interest charged to the Client/yuo will be payable on late payments at the rate of 4% above base rate from time to time. TWinFM reserves the right to withhold any part of the package if there is an outstanding invoice beyond 45 calendar days.


4. The Contract

The contract to provide the arrangements shall be created by TWinFMs confirmation email issued to the Client/you confirming the Booking. The parties making the contract are The Company and the Clients/you and no third party shall have any contractual claim against TWinFM of any nature whatsoever.


5. What Is Not Included In The Package

6. What Is Included In The Package

Only the items/ services detailed in the invoice.


7. Timetable Of Events

Whilst TWinFM provide timetables, the information contained therein unfortunately cannot be guaranteed and are specifically excluded as a condition, nor form part of a contract between the Client/you and TWinFM. Timetables are subject to alteration without notice, but every reasonable effort will be made by TWinFM to provide an alternative timetable if possible.


8. The Event/Occasion

The times and dates of an event/occasion may be modified or re-scheduled, under unforeseen circumstances including, without limitation, force majeure, safety and security concerns or a decision by a governing body, television broadcaster or any other competent authority. If an event/occasion is re-scheduled for one of the reasons contemplated above, TWinFM will use its reasonable efforts to arrange for hospitality services to be provided at the re-scheduled event/occasion. In this case the hospitality services contained in the hospitality packages remain valid for the re-scheduled event/occasion, but the Client/you acknowledges and accepts that the provision of the hospitality services may be altered.

TWinFM give no guarantee whatsoever that the event/occasion booked shall take place, eg weather, illness or through force majeure. Should any event/occasion be cancelled for any reason whatsoever, the client will have no entitlement to any refund of monies paid to TWinFM.

However, in some cases there may be a refund due from the ‘events rights holder’ for the ticket element of a package. Details of such refund schemes are sent out with the event tickets. It is the responsibility of the Client/you to adequately insure themselves against postponement or cancellation, for whatever reason, of the event/occasion. The provisions of the S1(2) of the Law Reform (Frustrated Contracts) Act 1943 (or any re-enactment thereof) shall not apply to any agreement between TWinFM and the client.


9. Third Parties

TWinFM in making arrangements on behalf of its Clients/you, contracts with third parties for provision of all of the necessary facilities including the provision of tickets for entry to the event/occasion. In doing so it expressly agreed that TWinFM acts only as an agent of the Client/you and that no liability of any kind howsoever caused shall attach to TWinFM in connection with or arising out of such arrangements. The contract with TWinFM and the Client/you shall be subject to any terms and conditions between TWinFM and such third parties. In the event that such facilities or tickets shall not be available, for whatever reason, any liability of TWinFM shall be limited to the return of all sums paid by the Client/you for such facilities or tickets and not any consequential loss.


10. Alterations Or Cancellations Of Arrangements By Third Parties

TWinFM will then conduct any reasonable investigation in connection with the problem reported by the Client, such investigation being at the Client’s sole cost, to the extent the Client turns out to be responsible for the non-delivery.


14. Code of Conduct

All events/occasions are subject to the rule of behaviour and proper conduct at the venue.

If a Client or guest is expelled from or refused entrance to an event/occasion as a result of any misbehaviour or inappropriate conduct whatsoever (even if subsequently acquitted of any offence by a Court), the Client and/or the guest shall lose all their rights with regard to the event/occasion with no right of refund.
