2.2   You agree to comply at all times with the Venue’s policies and rules in relation to the Venue (particularly fire safety and health and safety rules). You will be required to leave the Venue if you do not comply with such policies and rules (and I shall not be obliged to refund you any amounts paid in relation to the Services).

2.3   You are responsible for your own belongings that you bring to the Venue and neither I nor the Venue will be liable for any loss, damage, theft or destruction of any of your belongings.

2.4   You agree to reimburse me in full and indemnify us against any claim from any third party (and associated costs and expenses (including professional fees)) arising out of your actions or inactions while at the Venue.

(b)   the full fee if you cancel the Services on or less than 4 weeks prior to the date of the VIP Day.

2.7    I may postpone the Services upon notice to you of at least 24 hours, in which case, we will re-schedule the VIP Day at the earliest mutually convenient time.

2.8    I will ask you to complete a questionnaire in advance of our VIP Day and you will provide true and accurate answers to the questions.

3.1   The Voxer Day will last for a maximum of 8 hours and will take place on the third party Voxer app.

3.2   The online sessions of the Voxer Day are held on third party secure servers and we have taken all reasonable steps to ensure that the online content will be available at all times during the course of the Voxer Day but in the event that such content is not available in whole or in part at any time, or becomes corrupted, is deleted or is failed to be stored, we shall have no liability in any circumstances.

2.3   You may postpone the Services by notice in writing to me, by email or by telephone by giving at least 24 hours notice.

If we send you invoices, these must be paid within 7 days of the date of the invoice. For the avoidance of doubt, if the VIP day is cancelled out of the stated cancellation terms, such instalments remain payable.

(b)  suspend all Services until payment has been made in full.
