BOOKINGS TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Making a booking on the website at www.IntelligenceSquared.com (“Site”) or on the app known as “Intelligence Squared” (“App”) for any event or facility offered on the Site and/or the App, including without limitation a debate, talk, discussion, lecture, course or workshop (each an “Event” or, if outside the UK, an “International Event”) creates a legally binding contract between:

(1) You (“you”) (on behalf of you and each other person attending an Event under a booking made by you, including friends, relatives, acquaintances, employees, employers or any other person with whom you have a business relationship, each a “Guest”); and

(2) Intelligence Squared UK Ltd (a company registered in England with offices at 6th Floor, Newcombe House, 45 Notting Hill Gate, London W11 3LQ, UK (“Company”, “we”, or “us”)

By making the booking on behalf of one or more Guests you confirm that you are authorised to agree to these terms and conditions on behalf of each Guest.

1. BOOKINGS

When you book with us through the Site or the App, the booking will not be confirmed until we send you your electronic ticket. We reserve the right to refuse a booking for any reason. We will usually email you your e-ticket within 48 hours of booking (to the email address provided when you set up your account). If you have not received your e-ticket within 48 hours of booking, please check your spam or junk email folder or filter and then contact us. It is your responsibility to ensure that your email is set up to allow you to receive your e-ticket, and we cannot accept any liability for any consequences of your not doing so.

You’ll need to bring all your e-ticket(s) with you to the Event and show them at the door to be admitted, so make sure you have access to a printer and that you check the details carefully as soon as you receive the email. It is your responsibility to do this and we won’t be able to help if you get the date, time or location wrong, or to admit you to the Event if you forget to bring your e-ticket along. Incidentally, it’s fine to bring along any Internet-enabled device such as iPhones or Blackberries in order to show us your ticket, but make sure it’s charged and functioning, as we won’t be able to admit you unless the ticket is displayed to our satisfaction.

Please look after your e-tickets and keep them in a safe place. Each e-ticket is unique. We reserve the right to refuse entry to the original purchaser and any duplicate ticket holders should unauthorised duplication be detected. E-tickets should be presented at the ticket desk on arrival at each event. At our discretion and in exceptional circumstances, only the original purchaser may be refunded the original ticket price paid. Please note that if you ordered more than one ticket, the PDF document will include one ticket per page; please ensure that you print all pages at the best text quality your printer offers.

The price for each Event is displayed on the Site and/or the App and must be paid in full, and in the currency stated, by debit or credit card at the time of booking. On very rare occasions, the price might change due to unforeseen events, but you will be given an opportunity to cancel in the event that the price increases.

The Company shall not be held responsible for any tickets which are lost or stolen and we reserve the right to cancel ticket bookings that we reasonably suspect to have been made fraudulently. Any gift voucher purchased from the Company must be used within 24 months of the purchase date unless otherwise stated. If you have been given a voucher, or if you’re buying a voucher for someone else, please make a note of the purchase date and remember to use the voucher before it expires.

2. GIFT BOX AND MEMBERSHIPS

The Intelligence Squared service (“Service”) is available for use on either a non-subscription basis or a subscription basis (each user of the latter being a “Subscriber”) or a premium subscription basis (each such premium user being a “Member”). A “Gift Box” holder will receive six (6) reserved seats at the venue stated on his/her ticket. Members do not receive reserved seating. Gift Box and Member tickets can be redeemed in any combination, from one seat at six separate events to six seats at one event. Gift Box and Member tickets are guaranteed up to two weeks before an event, after which tickets will go back on sale to the general public.

In the event that an Event has sold out by a date more than fourteen (14) days before such Event, an allocation of seats will be held back and made available to Gift Box holders and Members. Gift Box and Member tickets cannot be used for “partnership” Events or any Events with external ticketing unless otherwise confirmed by the Company. Your tickets can be exchanged at any time up to 24 hours prior to the Event. We do not offer refunds. Please note that Event dates, venues and speakers are subject to change.

3. CANCELLATIONS OR CHANGES TO BOOKINGS

We do not operate a refund policy. If you cannot attend an Event we will allow you a credit note to the value of the ticket which can be used against a future Event. Credit notes will be issued up to 24 hours in advance of an Event and cannot be issued on the day of the Event. Credit notes must be used within 6 months of the date of issue and can only be used once. To obtain a credit note, email info@intelligencesquared.com or phone the Box Office on 020 7792 4830.

If you wish to change the name of the ticket holder, you must cancel the ticket (by emailing info@intelligencesquared.com) and rebook. Unfortunately, we cannot alter the name of a ticket holder under any circumstances.

If we need to cancel an Event for any reason, we may do so at any time before the Event is scheduled to begin. We do not expect this to happen except in exceptional circumstances. If an Event is cancelled we will issue a refund or offer you a choice of alternative date or Event, except when the Event is cancelled due to force majeure, as outlined above. We won’t be able to compensate you for any other expenses you’ve incurred in connection with the Event under any circumstance.

We will try to notify you of cancellations by email and telephone, but we can’t guarantee this, especially when an Event is cancelled at short notice. Keeping us updated of your details will give us a better chance of reaching you in time.

It is the responsibility of the ticket holder to ascertain whether an Event has been cancelled and the date, time and venue of any rearranged Event by checking our website. If an Event is cancelled or rescheduled we will use all reasonable endeavours to notify ticket holders of the cancellation.

4. ATTENDANCE AND CONDUCT

Please ensure that you arrive on time for your Event. Every effort to admit latecomers will be made at a suitable break in the Event, but admission cannot always be guaranteed. Please note that for certain venues admission to latecomers will be granted only to the upper level(s) and/or the gallery of the venue. In addition, we may have to undertake security searches, and admittance will be conditional on your cooperation.

For everyone’s sake, we (and on our behalf, the staff of the venue) reserve the right to refuse you and/or any Guest admission or ask you and/or any Guest to leave if we think you and/or they are behaving in a disruptive way or in a way that violates the venue’s rules, or in a way that is likely to cause damage, nuisance, offence or injury (including without limitation your obstructive or invasive use of mobile phones, and your use of recording or photographic equipment). We will not issue any refund in this event.

You further agree, to ensure that you and each of your Guests comply with all health and safety, licensing, and other rules and regulations of the venue or applicable to the venue. It is your responsibility to familiarise yourself (and ensure all Guest(s) are familiar) with any rules and regulations that apply. You further agree not to attempt to bring in any illegal or hazardous items.

For the avoidance of doubt, you agree to comply with any reasonable request by the staff at the venue or supervising the Event (including, without limitation, requests relating to health and safety).

5. FILMING AND PHOTOGRAPHY AT EVENTS

We may film, photograph or otherwise record our Events. Please note that your consent to being filmed or recorded as an attendee is a condition of this Booking Agreement. By purchasing a ticket, you confirm your consent (and the consent of each of your Guests) to being filmed or recorded. The recordings may be made available to the public via the website or by other means.

6. LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY

Our total aggregate liability to you hereunder (in contract, tort, or negligence or breach of statutory duty) shall be limited to the total amount received by us from you in connection with the Event or Event(s) giving rise to such liability.

You agree to attend and participate in each Event at your own risk. The Company shall accept no responsibility for any of the following: (i) in respect of any person prevented from entering a venue, or asked to leave due to their conduct; (ii) travel or accommodation or similar costs or expenses whatsoever or howsoever arising out of or in connection with any Event; (iii) loss or damage to personal property; or (iv) loss of data, profit, revenue, use, business, anticipated savings, goodwill, reputation or opportunity, financial or economic loss or any indirect or consequential loss or damage.

Nothing in this Agreement excludes or limits either party’s liability for personal injury or death caused by negligence.

7. GENERAL

All materials provided to you by us or by our staff or speakers or associates, and any intellectual property belonging to or associated with our company and/or services, including any website, trademark or trade name, logo, software, text and graphics are the sole property of the Company or our speakers or associates, and you agree that you will not infringe any such rights in any way.

We will not be liable for any breach of this Agreement which is a result of circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including without limitation strike, lock-out, labour dispute, acts of God, acts of terrorism, war, riot, civil commotion, malicious damage, compliance with a law or governmental order, rule, regulation or direction, accident, breakdown of plant or machinery, insolvency or bankruptcy of either party or any third party, fire, flood, snow and storm, exceptional weather conditions, difficulty or increased cost in obtaining workers, goods or transport and other circumstances affecting the supply of goods or services.

You may not transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of your interest in this Agreement without our prior written consent.

If any provision in this Agreement is deemed to be illegal, unenforceable or invalid for any reason, it shall be deemed to have been struck out and the remaining provisions shall survive and continue to be binding and enforceable.

Any failure by us to enforce any provision of this Agreement at any time shall not be construed as a waiver of such provision and shall not affect our right to enforce such provision.

This Booking Agreement shall be governed by English Law, and the parties agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English Courts.
