Terms and Conditions
1. YOUR CONTRACT WITH US

Before placing any orders, please read carefully these Terms and Conditions, the Conditions of Use of our website and the Privacy Policy . In this document references to “we”, “us”, “our” or “Company” are to CF24 5EW trading as Twisted Hen & Stag Parties Ltd. References to “you” or “your” are to the customer who has placed an order with us to organise stag and/or hen events (“Service”). It is our intention that the Service is provided and accepted on these terms. If you wish to rely on any variation to these terms then you should ensure that the variation is notified to us in writing before issuing any instructions to us to provide the Service. To secure a booking, we require a deposit as notified at time of booking. All bookings are made and accepted as a group booking and the person placing the booking is deemed “Group Leader”. The Group Leader agrees, on behalf of all group members, to be bound by these terms. We reserve the right to decline a booking at our discretion. Once we have acknowledged your request for our Service by issuing a proposal which will outline your full package and prices (“Proposal”) to you, you will confirm your acceptance of the Proposal in writing and by doing so you acknowledge that our terms and conditions and the terms set out in the Proposal shall apply and you understand and agree these terms. We will then issue to you two invoices, one for the deposit and one for the remaining balance to be paid in accordance with clause 6 below. Please note that your deposit, once paid, will be non-refundable. Your contract is binding once we acknowledge your deposit payment by email.

2. PROPOSALS

If we have issued a Proposal for the Services then you have a reasonable period in which to accept the Proposal provided that in any event it will be deemed to be withdrawn 14 days from the date of issue, unless a shorter timescale is communicated to you by us.

3. SCHEDULING

By confirming to us your acceptance of the Proposal in writing you agree and accept the specified scheduling for activities undertaken. Failure to do so may result in entry to an activity being refused or in the curtailment of the duration of the activity. Where you do not adhere to our planned timings as set out in the Proposal (or as otherwise agreed) there may be a negative impact on the smooth running of your itinerary.

4. CHANGES

Changes By You

All changes must be requested directly with us and not with suppliers. If you make changes directly with suppliers, you may incur costs from both the supplier and from us, and in such circumstances you agree to pay our costs and any cost to us raised by our suppliers. We will attempt to reduce these costs as far as possible.

Changes to Activities Booked By You

Changing to different activities from those in the original booking must be confirmed in writing by the Group Leader and must be accompanied by an administration fee of £25 per amendment in addition to any extra costs associated with the revised activity bookings. However, there will be no administration fee if you ask us to book additional services that do not alter the original booked itinerary, providing they are booked at least 35 days prior to the commencement of your arrangements. In these circumstances you will be required to pay for the additional services only.

Change In The Date Of The Booking

A change of date of the original booking must be requested in writing by the Group Leader and must be accompanied by an administration fee of £25. You will also be required to pay for any additional cost of services and cancellation fees. These additional costs will be communicated to you by us as soon as it is reasonably practicable for us to do so and you shall pay such costs to us within 7 days of such communication unless we notify you otherwise if you contact us at least 35 days before commencement of the event then we will attempt to make these changes but it may prove difficult to do so and we are under no obligation to do so. All requested changes are subject to availability and if the change is not possible, the booking will not be changed and will be treated as being facilitated by ourselves within these terms. If we are unable to make the requested change, the administration fee will still be chargeable to compensate for our time spent ascertaining the details and availability of the request. Whilst every reasonable effort will be made to accommodate changes and additional requests their availability cannot be guaranteed.

Group Size Amendments

We will reasonably endeavour to amend bookings for any people additional to those in the original booking, subject to availability and costs applicable at the time of booking. If the costs have increased between time of original booking and adding extra people, you are liable to pay for the updated available charge. The addition of extra people within 35 days of the date of the party, when available, will incur an administration fee of up to £25, together with all other related charges and subsequent changes applicable to the additional persons.

Changes By Us 

While we will reasonably endeavour to honour all the activities and arrangements as advertised and booked, by entering into this contract you and your group members accept that it may prove necessary or advisable to vary or modify a booking due to prevailing local conditions. We reserve the right at any time to cancel or change any of the facilities, services or prices, including and not limited to activities, entertainment venues, vehicles and to substitute alternative arrangements of comparable monetary value. Where the proposed alternative arrangements are unacceptable you will be offered a refund of any monies paid to us (less any reasonable cost incurred by us) in respect of the element/s being altered. Should a major change, as defined below, become necessary after time of booking, we will endeavour to inform you as soon as reasonably possible, assuming there is time prior to commencement of your arrangements and providing you have given us all the necessary contact details we require. The definition of a major change will depend on the individual booking and circumstances. Usually a major change is when we have to change a date to ensure the event can take place but also includes, but is not limited to, war or threat of war, riot, civil strife, industrial dispute, terrorist activity, natural or nuclear disaster, flooding, fire, adverse weather conditions, or any other event that is beyond our reasonable control. When a major change is made, you will have the choice of accepting the change of arrangements or purchasing alternative available arrangements from us.

6. PRICE AND PAYMENT

The deposit price payable by you is as set out in our website booking form and system. If, after we have agreed to carry out the Services for you, the cost to us of carrying out the Services increases by reason of any increase in the cost of our suppliers and/or any other factor outside our control then we may increase the price of the Services save that if you are unhappy with the proposed increase then you will have a reasonable opportunity to cancel this contract with a refund of your deposit subject to a 3% transaction fee. By booking you agree to pay the prices quoted at time of booking together with any prices quoted for amendments to the original booking as requested by you. Without prejudice to paragraph 4 and this paragraph 6, these prices will not increase in any other circumstances except in circumstances where there are variations in tax rates applied by the government (for example, VAT rates) to the booking which we will pass on to you, and you agree to pay this increase.
