Full T & C’s 

(The Nitty Gritty):

These Terms and Conditions set out our obligations to you (the client) and your commitments to us, Let’s Picnic Adelaide.

Your booking with us, electronic or otherwise together with the information contained in your booking confirmation issued by us, forms the basis of our contract with you.

Explanation of Terms

In these terms and conditions “we” and “us” means Lets Picnic Adelaide.

“You” means the event organiser who is the sole contact for your group booking with Let’s Picnic Adelaide Pty Ltd. By paying your booking deposit you are agreeing to these terms on behalf of each member in your group. If the booking is on behalf of a limited company “you” means the event organiser acting for that company.

“Event(s)” means all aspects of the group booking with Lets Picnic Adelaide.

“In writing” means by facsimile, email or letter, signed and dated.

“Force Majeure” means any event which we or the supplier of the service(s) in question could not, even with all due care, foresee or avoid. Such events may include war or threat of war, riot, civil strife, actual or threatened terrorist activity, industrial dispute, natural or nuclear disaster, viral outbreak, adverse weather conditions, fire and all similar events outside our control or the control of the supplier concerned.

1. Booking and Payment Terms

1.1.1 Once you have confirmed your booking with us, paid your non-refundable deposit (refer to your booking confirmation form for the amount), a binding contract between us will come into existence. In the event we acknowledge your booking verbally prior to sending a confirmation letter, such acknowledgement will be an indication that we are dealing with your booking only and not a formal confirmation of it. By making your booking with us, you will be regarded as having read and understood our Terms and Conditions of Booking and to have actually done so before a contract between us came into existence.

1.1.2 Having read these terms and conditions, and acknowledging that you have done so by way of paying a deposit, You are formally accepting that you are now dealing with us on behalf of all other participants. If for any reason you require to hand-over responsibility of event organiser to someone else you must notify us in writing immediately. We cannot acknowledge this change of responsibility until we have received your formal advice in writing. You are liable for payment of the amounts due and responsible for collecting all monies and making payments to us by the due date. Upon receipt of any confirmation letters, documents or invoices from us, you must check them and contact us at once if any information appears to be inaccurate or incomplete. It may not be possible to make changes after this time.

1.2 Payment of Amounts Due

1.2.1 You must pay the balance in full no later than the date listed in the booking confirmation, unless otherwise stated and agreed in writing. When payments are late, we shall always try to retain your events for you but in some cases this may not be possible. All details of total amount to be paid will be confirmed once the booking has been secured by the non-refundable deposit. Payments can be made using a valid credit card, bank transfer, PayPal or cash.

1.2.2 Should the balance not be received by us in time, we will inform you that the payment is overdue. At this time, if you do not make payment within 12 hours we will be entitled to treat your booking as cancelled by you and retain your payments.

1.3 Payment Protection We will hold your payments in a business account for payment as required by our suppliers for the various events.

1.4 Should your group booking numbers reduce after the deposit and final payment has been paid, the cost charged may be reviewed subject to our discretion. However if the full payment has not been made and your party number reduces, and your quote has been based on additional volume discounts, the final amount per head may increase slightly. We will always aim to avoid an increase in cost as far as possible, however any additional charges levied by our suppliers will be billed to you.

2. Behaviour

2.1.1 We reserve the right to terminate your event if your behaviour or that of any member(s) named in the booking is likely, in our opinion, to cause distress, damage, danger or annoyance to other customers, other members of the party, employees, property or anyone else who has a right to be on the site where the event is taking place. If you are prevented from traveling or participating in the event because we or any person in authority believes you to be unfit to travel or likely to cause discomfort to or disturb other participants, you will not be able to complete your events. We will not be liable for any refund, compensation or any additional costs you have to pay.

2.1.2 We cannot accept liability for the behaviour of others in your accommodation or any persons taking part in any event associated and/or in the same event environment which forms part of your event(s) or if any facilities or services are removed as a result of their action.

 

3. Cancellation Policy

3.1 By You – Changes, Cancellations and No Shows

3.1.1 If you wish to change your booking we will try to comply with your requests but we cannot guarantee that changes can always be made. Where a change can be made, you will be charged for any extra costs incurred by ourselves and any costs or charges incurred or imposed by any of our suppliers – we will advise you immediately of any additional costs. Where the price of your event(s) depends on the number of people booked and extra people are added to the booking, the price will be reworked on the basis of the new number of people going and we will send you a revised booking confirmation. You will be required to pay the increased fees immediately if your event is within 10 days of the event(s).

3.1.2 Where any cancellation reduces the number of full paying party members below the number on which the price agreed for your booking was based, we may recalculate these items and send you a revised booking confirmation.

3.1.4 If you indicate that you may not be able to proceed with your booking before the date of balance due, we reserve the right to cancel your booking. This enables us to accept other bookings and avoid loss of revenue.

3.2 By Us – Changes and Cancellations

3.2.1 Very rarely we have to make changes to and correct errors on our website and other literature after bookings have been confirmed. In the worst case we may have to cancel confirmed bookings. Whilst we always endeavour to avoid changes and cancellations, we must reserve the right to do so. Please note most changes are minor, and only in extremely rare circumstances will a significant change or cancellation be likely to be made to a confirmed booking. If we have to make a significant change or cancel, we will tell you as soon possible. If there is time to do so before the event, we will offer you the choice of the following options:

• Accept the changes.

• Purchase alternatives from us, of a similar standard to that originally booked if available.

• Cancel or accept the cancellation in which case you will receive a full and quick refund of all monies you have paid to us.

3.3 Please refer to our Covid policy here.

4. General Liability

4.1 Insurance We recommend that you take out adequate personal insurance for your protection. Such insurance should cover the cost of cancellation by you and/or any member of your party and the cost of assistance, including repatriation, in the event of illness or accident. Some of the events you may book are by their nature active outdoor events and while all normal risks are managed as far as practical some residual risk may remain and by participating in these events you assume the inherent risks involved. We cannot be responsible for injury or loss suffered by you or any of your party other than as expressly set out in these booking conditions. For this reason, we recommend that you be fully and adequately insured. Additionally, should you participate in events which do not form part of the event booked with us it should be understood that this is also at your own risk and it is your responsibility to obtain the relevant insurance. Please confirm with your Insurers that your insurance policy covers the activities you will be participating in.

4.2.1 Special Requests If you have any special requests, you must advise us in writing at the time of booking. Although we will endeavour to manage any reasonable requests with our supplier, we regret we cannot guarantee any request will be met unless we have specifically confirmed this. For your own protection, you should obtain confirmation in writing from us that your request will be complied with (where it is possible for us to give this) if your request is important to you. Confirmation that a special request has been noted or passed on to the supplier or the inclusion of the special request on your confirmation invoice or any other documentation is not confirmation that the request will be met. Unless and until specifically confirmed, all special requests are subject to review and availability.

4.2.2 Should any additional charge not included in the total price stated on our booking confirmation become payable (for example costs relating to a special request made by you), a revised booking confirmation will be sent to you showing the extra charge. Special requests made after the initial booking confirmation has been issued, will be billed separately. A separate booking confirmation will be issued.

4.3 Pricing Policy Prices quoted to you at the time of your enquiry are correct to the best of our knowledge at that time. It is possible that prices may change before you actually book the event. We will advise you of any change in price or error of which we are aware at the earliest opportunity before you book with us. We reserve the right to make changes to and correct errors in prices at any time before your event(s) are confirmed. Once your events have been confirmed to you by our booking confirmation then subject to other clauses in these booking conditions, the price will not change. However, if we make an obvious mistake in the booking confirmation such as an incorrect price or inclusion, we reserve the right to correct this any time and will not be liable for the cost of errors before or after the events if we can provide evidence of such errors.

4.4 Website and Quote Descriptions All website and quote descriptions are made in good faith and every care is taken to ensure their accuracy. However, errors may occasionally occur. We cannot accept any liability for any errors or omissions except where these have arisen due to our negligence or that of any our employees (as long as they were acting in the course of their employment at the time). We reserve the right to make changes to and correct errors in our website and quotes at any time.

4.5 Weather Conditions As you will appreciate we have no control over the weather. If the event needs to relocate to a indoor/ undercover venue this needs to be decided 3 days prior to the event if the new location is not withing the radius of the additional quote we will resend the additional travel fee which needs to be paid prior to the event day.

4.6 Force Majeure Except where otherwise expressly stated in these booking conditions, we regret we cannot accept liability or pay any compensation where the performance or prompt performance of our obligations under our contract with you is prevented or affected by Force Majeure. Additionally we cannot accept liability or pay any compensation where you suffer any damage or loss as a result of Force Majeure.

5. Our Personal Liability

5.1 We will not be responsible for any injury, illness, death, loss (for example loss of enjoyment), damage, expense, cost or other sum or claim of any description whatsoever which results from any of the following:

• The act(s) and/or omission(s) of a third party not connected with the provision of your event(s) and which were unforeseeable or unavoidable; or

• Force Majeure

5.2 Please note we cannot accept responsibility for any service which does not form part of your event. This includes, for example, any additional services or facilities which any supplier agrees to provide for you that we have not booked for you. In addition, regardless of any wording used by us on our website, in any of our quotes or elsewhere, we only promise to use all reasonable skill and care as set out above and we do not have any greater or different liability to you.

5.3 The promises we make to you about the event we have agreed to source and book as part of our agreement – and the laws and regulations of the location in which your claim or complaint occurred – will be used as the basis for deciding whether the event(s) in question had been properly provided. If the particular event(s) which gave rise to the claim or complaint complied with local laws and regulations applicable to those events at the time, the event will be treated as having been properly provided.

5.4 We limit the maximum amount we may have to pay you for any claims you may make against us. For all claims which do not involve death or personal injury, if we are found liable to you on any basis the maximum amount we will have to pay you is the same as what you paid in your booking (excluding insurance premiums and amendment charges).

5.5 Please note, we cannot accept any liability for any damage, loss, expense or other sum(s) of any description (a) which on the basis of the information given to us by you concerning your booking prior to our accepting it, we could not have foreseen you would suffer or incur if we breached our contract with you or (b) which did not result from any breach of our agreement with you or other fault by ourselves or our employees. Additionally we cannot accept liability for any business losses.
