3. Venue Services Booking Process
3.1 Our Website enables our Customers to complete a short questionnaire to define their Event requirements after which they are presented with a list of Quotes based on the criteria they submitted. If your Venue meets the requirements selected by a Customer your Venue will be included in the list of
Quotes provided in the search result. A Customer also has the option to save, share, download or edit their Quotes further at this stage.
3.2 Once a Customer is happy with a Quote, the next step is for them to check whether their chosen Venue is available on their selected date or dates. To do this, the Customer will click to “Check Availability & Reserve a Date”. This will send an automated email to their chosen Venue and the relevant Quote will move to the “My Booking” section of the Customer’s Portal.
3.3 On receipt of an “Availability Check” email, it is your responsibility to review the request and to respond promptly to confirm whether your Venue is available on one or more of the Customer’s selected dates. You can do this by responding directly to the email or by confirming to one of our team via phone. In the event that you are not available on the selected date or dates, please provide details of any alternative dates you could accommodate.
3.4 By responding positively to an Availability Check email, you agree to reserve the dates that you have confirmed are available for the Reservation Period agreed and displayed on your Venue Profile.
3.5 Once you have confirmed your Venue’s availability the relevant Customer will be notified by email and invited to "Confirm the Booking" before the end of the Reservation Period. By requesting to “Confirm a Booking” the Customer is making an offer to purchase the relevant Venues Services on behalf of its Company as set out in the Quote.
3.6 By signing these Venue Terms and Conditions and appointing us as your agent, you expressly authorise us to accept or reject a Customer’s offer to purchase Venue Services on your behalf by sending the Customer a Booking Confirmation, providing that the Customer’s offer is for one of the dates you have approved and that such offer is received within the Reservation Period agreed. Acceptance of a Customer’s offer occurs on issuance of the Booking Confirmation by Events Made Simple on behalf of your Venue. It is at this point that a contract is formed between you and the Company for the relevant Venue Services.
3.7 Our agreement with our Customer sets out the terms and conditions between Events Made Simple and the Company for the Booking Services and, if relevant, any Activity Services. However, the contract for the provision of the Venue Services is a direct agreement between your Venue and the Company making the booking. As such, our terms and conditions expressly state that, save in relation to the payment and cancellation terms, any such booking is subject to your standard terms and conditions of service which may be provided to the Customer on request.
