Definitions

In these terms and conditions, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below:

“Booking” means a reservation for a Room and any related facilities which you have requested by submitting an online booking or written request and which we have subsequently accepted in accordance with these terms and conditions.

“Contract” means an agreement between us and you for a Booking. These terms and conditions together with the Booking constitute the contract and can only be varied by our written agreement. Unless otherwise agreed with us in writing, each Booking will constitute a separate contract between you and us.

“Guests” means the individuals attending the Meeting at your request or invitation.

“Meeting” means the conference or meeting for which you require the Room.

“Room” means the room or rooms which you book for the use of your Guests.

“You” means the person, organisation, company or other body responsible for making a Booking.

Booking Arrangements

When you make a request for a Booking by completing and submitting an online booking or written request your request constitutes an offer to us to finalise a Booking. All such Booking requests are subject to acceptance by us, and no Contract will exist unless and until we confirm our acceptance of your request for a Booking. Confirmation of a Booking will be sent by email (the Reservation Confirmation) and the Contract between us will only be formed when we send you the Reservation Confirmation.

The most appropriate room will be allocated based on the number of delegates booked and paid for. We reserve the right at our sole discretion to refuse to accept any request for a Booking or to cancel a Booking due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control. In such circumstances we will advise you by email as soon as reasonably possible and refund any sum paid by you in full.

We reserve the right to change your assigned Room for one of equal suitability prior to the commencement of the Meeting. We will endeavour to advise you in advance of any such change.

Guest Numbers

Should you wish to increase the number of Guests for a Meeting you must email enquiries@andmeetings.com and we will do our best to accommodate such request subject to availability of additional Room space. If we agree to an increase in the number of Guests, we will send you confirmation by email and your Booking will be deemed to have been amended when such email is sent. You will need to make any additional payment due by credit / debit card prior to your Meeting.

Any reduction in Guest numbers will be subject to our cancellation policy as set out below.

Payments and Termination

In order to confirm your reservation, we require100% of the total amount to be paid at the time of the booking. Confirmation of the booking only takes place upon receipt by &Meetings of the payments due. &Meetings reserves the right to cancel this agreement in the event that the payment is not made.

Any additional charges for excessive or unreasonable use of office or other services (such as phone calls, photocopying etc) incurred during or in connection with your Meeting must be paid for by credit or debit card prior to departure. All local and national phone calls are free of charge. All international and mobile calls will be chargeable at standard BT rate – payment by credit / debit card will be required after your meeting.

All charges to be paid under the Contract are exclusive of VAT which will, where relevant, be charged to you at the then current rate. You can review the charges for any excessive or unreasonable use of office or other services upon request.

Catering

If you would like us to arrange food for your meeting, you are welcome to have it delivered to our venues. Please note that food must be collected at reception and all food and packaging should be removed after your meeting. If this is not done, a £50 cleaning fee may apply.
