INTERPRETATION AND INCORPORATION

These Terms and Conditions of Sale should be read in conjunction with any specific Venue and/or Event Promoter terms, conditions and regulations, copies of which are available on request from the Venue and/or Event Promoter.

Tickets are issued on behalf of the organisation responsible for the performance or event to which it relates (the “Event”). Person(s) attending the Event (the “Customer(s)”) should note that tickets for Events are sold by Ticket Quarter, a trading division of The ACC Liverpool Group Ltd, a company incorporated in England with registered number 5204033 (VAT number 902 5534 7) and having its registered office at Kings Dock, Liverpool Waterfront, L3 4FP (“Ticket Quarter”) as agent for the organisation responsible for the Event (the “Event Promoter”).

Events will be held at the venue described in the description for the Event (“Venue”). Details of the identity of the Event Promoter are made available on the front of the ticket where possible; otherwise details are available on request from Ticket Quarter, located at Arena and Convention Centre Liverpool, Kings Dock, Liverpool Waterfront, L3 4FP or in the description for that Event.

TICKETS

1 – The National Diversity Awards will not be responsible for any ticket that is lost, stolen or destroyed and tickets cannot be replaced.

RETURNS AND REFUND

5 – Tickets cannot be returned to the National Diversity Awards after purchase, unless the Event is cancelled, or Ticket Protection has been purchased at the time of sale, or the Customer is instructed to do so by the National Diversity Awards on the basis that the National Diversity Awards is acting as a disclosed agent on behalf of the Event Promoter.

6 – Refunds for cancelled Events will be given by the National Diversity Awards under the instruction of the Event Promoter, and will be given once the National Diversity Awards is in receipt of such funds from the Event Promoter.

8 – If an event is rescheduled, changed or moved, the Promoter will usually give you the option of either retaining or exchanging your tickets for the new date/location. If an event is cancelled by the Promoter you will normally be offered a refund. Please note that the Booking Fee and any Transaction Fees are not refundable in these circumstances. If you opted for Ticket Refund Protection this is also a non-refundable fee.

In the event of a date change at short notice (within 1 week of the Event) the National Diversity Awards as agent for the Event Promoter will use reasonable endeavours to notify Customers who purchased tickets from the National Diversity Awards of the conditions that apply and if these are not acceptable, offer a refund as instructed by the Event Promoter.
