Please read this Agreement carefully to ensure you understand each provision.
These Terms of Service ("Terms") apply to all bookings through Oxygen Discos & Events, Gloucester, and the services that are made available by us. Please read these Terms carefully. By booking through Oxygen Discos & Events, and by selecting the tick box on our required form at time of booking, you are stating that you have read, understand, and agree to be bound by these Terms.
This agreement requires the use of arbitration on an individual basis to resolve disputes, rather than jury trials or class actions, and also limits the remedies available to you in the event of a dispute.
** DEFINITIONS OF TERMS INSERT **
Any cancellations or notified changes must be made at least 30 days prior to the date of event. If you fail to cancel your booking before this date you will be charged the full booking fee. This ruling may be wavered in very extreme circumstances, or should we manage to fulfill the date prior to the booking date.
When a booking has been formally cancelled, and that cancellation has been accepted by both parties, the Client forfeits any rights to use our services on that date, irrespective of deposits or cancellation fees paid.
Booking deposits will not be refunded under any circumstances.
Paying a booking deposit for your event or function is a 100% binding guarantee of contract and reservation of your function date.
Any non payment of a deposit within 7 days could allow us to change our work schedule without prior notice.
The client/hirer is responsible for any damage to our equipment caused by any person at your event. You will be charged for the full cost of any repairs, or replacements required. You will be advised of any damage as soon as it is caused.
We do not tolerate violent, aggressive or abusive behavior from anyone under any circumstances. We also reserve the right to terminate our services, at any time and without notice, if we feel our personal safety or equipment is under threat, or (in our opinion) inappropriate behavior is taking place. We do not take responsibility for ejecting any unwanted persons from any venue. You will be advised of any problems that we may have in this respect with any of your guests.
In the event of fire, flooding, public disturbance, terrorist activity or any other threat to the public, we will not be responsible to evacuate any venue or building where we are present and / or working within, unless the fire regulations for the venue specify otherwise. This would usually incur a vocal announcement.
