-
Users are solely responsible for keeping their veenue account credentials secure and must not share such information with third parties. veenue representatives will never request sensitive information such as payment card details, bank information, or passwords via email, phone, or other external channels. Users must enter payment information only on the secure Booking Form page, as described in Section 4.6. Any suspicious communication should be reported to veenue via the contact form on our website.
-
- Scope of our services and bookings
-
veenue provides an online platform that connects Users who wish to learn about Venues and make Bookings with Venues that have created Profiles and published their Rooms on our Platform to make them available for Bookings (referred to as the “Services”). The veenue Platform allows Users and Venues to connect, communicate, and transact directly with each other via Booking Enquiries. veenue may provide Services online, by email, by telephone, or by any other means.
-
Users make Bookings and transact directly with Venues. veenue acts solely as an intermediary to help advertise Venues and refer Users to Venues. Any contract, arrangement, or agreement is between you and a Venue Manager. veenue is not a party to, and is not responsible for, any contract, arrangement, or agreement entered into between the Venue Manager and the User, nor does it act as a contracting agent or insurer. The Venue Manager is solely responsible for the quality and integrity of the services and the Room that they provide or do not provide to a User.
-
Through our Platform, you can view details and learn about Venues and Rooms and send Booking Enquiries, which Venues agree to receive and respond to, whether by replying to or rejecting your Booking Enquiry, and you may also make Payments for Bookings.
-
You can find Venues by browsing those that have registered with us and published their Profiles. Alternatively, you can complete the “Help me with Venues” form or contact us by any other means so that a veenue Representative can select or suggest a suitable Venue for you. As a result, you may send a Booking Enquiry to a Venue Manager, or a veenue Representative may send a Booking Enquiry on your behalf.
-
Where a Venue Manager offers the Invoice Payment Method, once the Venue Manager responds to a Booking Enquiry, you will receive the Venue’s contact details necessary to contact the Venue Manager and negotiate the Booking terms. Thereafter, at your discretion, you may contact a Venue Manager with an offer to make a Booking for one of their Rooms, which may be accepted or rejected by the Venue Manager. Following the Booking, the Venue Manager will issue an invoice, including (where applicable) a VAT invoice, and the User will make payment directly to the Venue Manager. veenue does not issue invoices to Users or process payments for Bookings where the Invoice Payment Method applies.
-
To submit a Booking Request by clicking a “Request Booking” button for a Venue that has opted for Online Payments, the User will be redirected to a “Booking Form” page where they must complete the necessary Booking details, including the payment details required to process the payment. Once the Booking Request is submitted, the User will be charged in full and the Venue Manager will receive an email notification with the Booking details. The Venue Manager is granted 2 business days from receipt of the Booking Request to accept, respond with a Custom Offer, or reject the Booking Request. If the Venue Manager does not respond to the Booking Request within 2 business days, the Booking Request will expire. If a User does not respond to a Custom Offer within 72 hours, it will expire. If a Venue Manager rejects a Booking Request or if a User withdraws the Booking Request, the hold on the User’s card will be released.
-
Although veenue encourages Venue Managers to respond to all Booking Enquiries as soon as possible, if a Venue Manager does not respond to a Booking Enquiry via their veenue account, it will automatically expire within 72 hours of receipt.
-
All communications relating to Venue or Room Bookings and any other activities conducted through the veenue Platform must be carried out through the Platform’s internal messenger. Members must not exchange personal, contact, or similar information or communicate with each other by any means other than the Platform’s internal messenger. If any communication, information, data, or details are exchanged between Members (whether in written, oral, electronic, graphic, or any other tangible form, including but not limited to text messages, instant messages, emails, phone calls, fax, post, data transfer, document exchange, online or in-person meetings) and/or any transaction takes place between Members in breach of this requirement, this will constitute a material breach of these Terms, enabling veenue to exercise the rights set out in Section 15 in relation to Users and Venues, without the Cancellation Policy applying.
-
veenue may contact you at any time after a Venue Manager has responded to a Booking Enquiry to ask about the status of that Enquiry or of a Booking made through our Platform.
-
veenue offers the ability and may invite Users and their Event Attendees to leave a review and rating of a Venue and/or a Room after a Booking made through our Platform. Such reviews and ratings will not be altered by veenue and will be published on our website as submitted to us, once a veenue Representative has reviewed them for obscenities.
-
Users are requested to respect the property and safety of others. Booking a Room or Venue through our Platform is permitted and must be done only for lawful purposes. You and your Event Attendees must not damage any property or any part of a Venue or a Room, nor cause nuisance or inconvenience to third parties. You must comply with any Venue policies provided to you. You understand that if you breach such policies or damage any part of a Room or Venue or any of its facilities, fixtures, furniture, equipment, or personal belongings intended for the Event, whether such damage or breach is caused by you or your Event Attendees, you will be solely responsible and may be required to compensate the Venue Manager for the damage caused. You must have adequate insurance for any liability you may incur in connection with a Booking under these Terms or otherwise.
-
Users acknowledge that all communications relating to Venue or Room Bookings must be carried out via the internal messenger of the veenue Platform as specified in Section 4.8. veenue is not responsible for any losses, damages, or fraudulent activity arising from communications or transactions conducted outside the veenue Platform.
-
- Fees
-
Our service is free of charge. We do not charge you any fees for our services and we do not add any administration or booking fees.
-
Where the Invoice Payment Method is selected, we will not collect any payment and any sums you owe to a Venue for a Booking will be paid directly to that Venue as set out in the Agreement and the invoice issued.
-
Where the Online Payment Method is selected by a Venue, the following terms apply:
- 5.3.1. Members authorise veenue to collect and process payments via the Payment Processor for Bookings, whether in part or in full, including, where applicable, any Additional Charge as defined in clause 5.3.10 or any damage for which you are responsible.
- 5.3.2. Each Member appoints veenue as their limited payment collection agent solely for the purpose of collecting and processing Booking payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section, veenue assumes no responsibility for the acts or omissions of a Venue.
- 5.3.3. Each Member acknowledges and agrees that, although veenue is not a party to the Agreement and does not act as agent for any Member, we act as a Venue’s payment collection agent solely for the purpose of accepting payments from a User on behalf of a Venue. Once a User makes a payment to veenue via the Payment Processor, the User’s payment obligation to the Venue Manager is deemed satisfied.
- 5.3.4. You agree that payment made to a Venue Manager will be treated the same as a payment made directly to the Venue Manager. A Venue Manager will provide services to the User in accordance with the Agreement between Members as if the Venue Manager had received payment directly from the User.
- 5.3.5. veenue may refund a User in accordance with these Terms.
- 5.3.6. A User will be charged once a Booking is confirmed and the funds for that Agreement are deposited into the veenue Account, where they will be held in trust for the Venue. veenue will use reasonable efforts to initiate a Payout to the Venue Manager within 3 to 7 business days prior to the Event start time, subject to the agreed Booking terms and the services provided by the Venue.
- 5.3.7. If there are Additional Charges for extending the duration of the Booking or other charges associated with exceeding the agreed use of the Booking by a User (“Additional Charges”), a Venue Manager must report them to veenue within 72 hours after the Booking end time. Once reported, the User will have 48 hours to review and confirm the Additional Charges via their veenue account. A payout to the Venue Manager’s bank account will then be initiated automatically. Depending on when the Additional Charges were reported, the payout may be made separately. You acknowledge that Additional Charges form an integral part of your contractual obligations with the Venue Manager. Failure to pay such charges may result in legal action against you.
- 5.3.8. A payout to a Venue Manager may be withheld if a dispute is initiated between a User and a Venue Manager or as permitted by these Terms. Payouts of Additional Charges for overtime or damage, or arising from a dispute, will be made within a reasonable time once the dispute is resolved. The timing of payout may change if a Booking is updated, cancelled, or rescheduled.
-
Venue Managers advertise and quote their minimum rates on veenue on the basis that such rates (i) will not be higher than the rates they display, promote, quote, or communicate elsewhere for the same Venue, Room, or service and/or (ii) will not be higher than the rates they communicate or quote to Users for the same Venue, Room, or service.
-
Users should be aware that the only legitimate payment methods are those described in Section 5.2 (Invoice Payment Method) of these Terms. veenue is not responsible for losses arising from payments made to parties who fraudulently claim to represent veenue or a Venue. If you receive unexpected payment instructions or requests that differ from the methods agreed with the Venue Manager through the Platform, please report them immediately to veenue via the contact form on our website.
-
- Booking cancellation policy
-
For each Room listed on the veenue Platform, Venues may choose one of the following cancellation policies, which will apply if a User cancels a confirmed Booking made through our Platform:
-
6.1.1. The "Very Flexible" Booking cancellation policy means:
- a) A full refund (including all Fees) will be issued to a User if the cancellation is submitted at least 24 hours before the date and time of the Event;
- b) No refund will be issued to a User if the cancellation is submitted less than 24 hours before the date and time of the Event.
-
6.1.2. The "Flexible" Booking cancellation policy means:
- a) A full refund (including all Fees) will be issued to a User if the cancellation is submitted at least 7 full days before the Event date;
- b) 50% of the total amount paid to the Venue Manager (excluding Stripe service fees) will be refunded to a User if the cancellation is submitted less than 7 full days but at least 24 hours before the date and time of the Event;
- c) No refund will be issued to a User if the cancellation is submitted less than 24 hours before the date and time of the Event.
-
6.1.3. The "Standard 30 Days" Booking cancellation policy means:
- a) A full refund will be issued to a User if the cancellation is submitted at least 30 full days before the Event date;
- b) 50% of the total amount paid to the Venue Manager (excluding Stripe service fees) will be refunded to a User if the cancellation is submitted less than 30 full days but at least 7 full days before the Event date;
- c) No refund will be issued to a User if the cancellation is submitted less than 7 full days before the Event date.
-
6.1.4. The "Standard 60 Days" Booking cancellation policy means:
- a) A full refund will be issued to a User if the cancellation is submitted at least 60 full days before the Event date;
- b) 50% of the total amount paid to the Venue Manager (excluding Stripe service fees) will be refunded to a User if the cancellation is submitted less than 60 full days but at least 30 full days before the Event date;
- c) No refund will be issued to a User if the cancellation is submitted less than 30 full days before the Event date.
-
6.1.5. The "Custom" Booking cancellation policy means that a Venue Manager may set their own cancellation policy and select an appropriate number of days and refund percentage. This cancellation policy is not available for Venues that opt to receive payments via Stripe.
-
-
All cancellation periods are calculated based on the Venue’s local time.
-
If a User has signed an agreement with a Venue Manager for a Booking on custom terms and the User cancels that Booking, in the event of a conflict the cancellation policy terms set out in that agreement will prevail.
-
For multi-day or non-consecutive Events, the cancellation period set out in the applicable cancellation policy will apply to the Event start time for each day the Venue is booked. Where a User cancels part of a multi-day Booking, fees and refunds will apply only to the specific dates cancelled.
-
For the purposes of this Section 6 of these Terms, a valid cancellation request will be deemed to have been made when a User contacts a Venue Manager through the veenue Platform as a follow-up message to the Booking Enquiry. A Booking will be deemed cancelled once veenue sends a cancellation confirmation to the User after the Venue Manager sends a confirmation to the User.
-
If a Venue Manager has received a cancellation request from a User and a full or partial refund is due, that Venue Manager must contact veenue and provide the Booking and cancellation details. From that point onwards, refunds to Users will be managed by veenue in accordance with the cancellation policy selected by the Venue.
-
Any tax that veenue charges in relation to amounts to be refunded to the User will also be refunded, and the non-refundable portion of a cancelled Booking will remain taxable.
-
If a Venue Manager changes their Booking cancellation policy, this will not have retroactive effect on any of their previous Bookings. Each Booking will be cancelled in accordance with the cancellation policy selected by the Venue Manager at the time the Booking was made.
-
Users who do not attend the Event or do not cancel a Booking will not be eligible for a refund.
-
All Bookings are subject to a 24-hour grace period after receiving the Booking confirmation, provided that the cancellation is made at least 48 hours before the date and time of the Event.
-
If a Venue Manager cancels a confirmed Booking for any reason, veenue reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to fully refund the User.
-
Venues may allow Users to reschedule a Booking free of charge and postpone the Event for up to 12 months, provided that:
-
The duration of a rescheduled Booking does not materially differ from the duration of the original Booking, subject to the Venue’s approval; and
-
Any rescheduled Booking must be confirmed between the parties before the original Event date and time.
In which case, this will not be treated as a cancellation and any deposit or prepayment will not be affected and will be applied to the rescheduled Event.
-
-
