Tickets may be issued by us or may be administered by a third party online booking service, Eventbrite, in which case you will need to register with that service to obtain a Ticket and to comply with its terms and conditions. We do not guarantee to allocate any given minimum number of Tickets for any Event, nor do we accept any responsibility if Ticket supplies have been exhausted.

Nor will you be provided with refunds on any accidental purchases made.

Upon purchasing a Ticket and potentially at other times during the course of the Event we may collect information about you and/or the Student, including names, addresses, dates of birth, email addresses, phone numbers and other relevant details. You agree to provide accurate and complete information. We will use that personal information in accordance with our privacy policy.

5. Changes

8. Supervision and Disclaimers

8.1 We will endeavour to provide reasonable care of the Student while at the Event but you agree and acknowledge that to the extent permissible at law we shall not be liable for any damage, accident, injury, loss (including loss of property), expense or liability that may arise during or as a result of the Event.
