For any specific access requirements, please contact the Events team (as above).On The DayWhilst in attendance at any Haymarket event, if your behavior is deemed disruptive, offensive, dangerous, illegal, or if you are found to be distributing unauthorized material we reserve the right to eject you without any prior notice or refund. Audio and visual recordings or the distribution of commercial materials are not permitted without our prior consent. We accept no liability for damage to or loss of personal belongings at the event venue.Speaker Confirmation & ChangesWe arrange our events and speakers up to 6 months in advance and, as the date of the event approaches, sometimes speakers are prevented from attending for personal or business reasons. With the increasingly challenging market conditions, we cannot guarantee any particular case study or speakers, as our speakers themselves cannot guarantee their attendance to us. We endeavor to find suitable replacement speakers of the same caliber. Often, however, a direct replacement cannot be found or found with enough time for the replacement to prepare a quality presentation. Please visit the website for regular updates on the speaker faculty. We appreciate your understanding.Terms And ConditionsConfirmation ProcedureOnce we have received confirmation of your booking in writing (either online, fax or post) we will send you a confirmation email. An invoice will then be generated and sent out to you via post. If your company uses Purchase Order Numbers, please supply this at the time of booking as failure to do so may cause problems with your booking. If you request to be invoiced, payment terms will be 28 days from date of booking. Please note that we must receive full payment prior to the event start date. Your receipt will follow once full payment has been received. Booking form submission (either online, by fax or by post) does not guarantee a place. The dispatch by us of an email confirmation constitutes a legally binding contract. If you have not received your confirmation email 14 working days after submission of your booking, please contact the Customer Services team on +44 (0)20 8267 4011 as there may be a problem with your booking. Haymarket Events are unable to accept responsibility for the non-arrival of information. Haymarket Events reserves the right to decline any booking. Haymarket Events reserves the right to vary the content, timings, location and/or speakers of events and as such accept no liability for variations.CancellationsAll cancellations must be made in writing to the address stated opposite, and received by us no later than March 3, 2010. Such cancellations are subject to a handling and administration fee of $125 per delegate, which will be deducted from any due refund or invoice, whichever is appropriate. We regret that no cancellations are accepted within 20 days of the event date due to the way in which we are in turn charged by our suppliers. However, a substitute delegate can always be nominated. Substitutions on the day of the event are made at the organizer’s discretion only. Pre-payments will not be refunded and invoiced sums will be payable in full, except in cases where it has been possible to mitigate loss. Haymarket Events will not offer refunds to delegates due to acts of God, war, terrorist alert or incident, government regulations, disaster, strikes, civil disorder or curtailment of transportation facilities unless the event is cancelled. In this instance, Haymarket Events will retain up to 50% of the event fee to cover marketing, administration and delegate registration costs.Sponsorship And Exhibition Opportunities Would your organization benefit from positioning itself as a key preventive maintenance supplier?
