Making a booking on THE ADV_™ website may involve using a third-party application called Eventbrite. Booking an event means creating a legally binding contract between you, all of your Guests, us, and Eventbrite. When a person makes a booking via Eventbrite that person is strictly subject to the terms & conditions of that application or website. THE ADV_™ cannot be held liable for disputes and/or errors made through a third-party application, and will only admit people on production of a valid e-ticket or proof of purchase. Internet-enabled device such as iPhones or Blackberries in order to show us your ticket is acceptable, 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. Cancellations are again subject to the terms and conditions of Eventbrite, or whoever our third party booking agent so happens to be.

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 ADV_™. 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.

Please read these terms 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.

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, lectures, training, courses, and debates.

‘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.

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 15 minutes. 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).

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

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.

Variation: Agreement may only be varied by express written agreement of the parties.
