2. Payment and Purchase of Hospitality Packages
2.1 The Hospitality Packages are subject to the addition of Value Added Tax and all other applicable taxes at the current rate (if applicable).
2.2 Unless otherwise agreed in writing, all invoices for the Deposit and the Fees must be paid within 7 days of the date of the invoice. If an Event is scheduled for less than 7 days, payment is due in full immediately on the issue of the invoice.
2.3 Any payment terms set out on an invoice shall take precedence over these Terms.
2.4 If the Booking Client defaults on any payment of the Hospitality Package(s), including any late payment, Wasserman reserves the right to cancel the Hospitality Package(s) and the Hospitality Package(s) may be resold by Wasserman. Any late payments may incur a late payment fee and/or be subject to interest, chargeable at a daily rate of three percent (3%) above the base rate for each day that any invoice remains unpaid.
2.5 If Wasserman is required to cancel a Hospitality Package pursuant to clause 2.4, Wasserman shall not be required to refund any Deposit or any of the Fees and if any of the Fees remain outstanding, the Booking Client shall be required to pay any outstanding Fees to Wasserman.
2.6 Wasserman will use all reasonable endeavours to adhere to the advertised Hospitality Package, though any component part of the Hospitality Package including, but not limited to, timings, dates, prices and arrangements may be altered, omitted or amended by Wasserman at its total discretion, and at any time.
2.7 Should Wasserman materially alter, omit or amend the advertised package (pursuant to clause 2.6 of these Terms) so that such Hospitality Package is materially different from that advertised, the Booking Client shall be entitled to cancel the Hospitality Package. In such circumstances, the Booking Client shall accept a refund of the monies paid to Wasserman (less any applicable booking and/or administration fees) as full and final settlement of the cancelled Hospitality Package. This clause shall not apply to any postponement or cancellation of any relevant Event.
2.8 When an amendment or change requires the payment to Wasserman by the Booking Client of a sum greater than that originally shown in the advertised package the difference must be paid before the Tickets are issued to the Booking Client.
2.9 The Booking Client acknowledges that the Promoter and/or Venue may set the Ticket pricing and that, in such circumstances, Wasserman has no control over the pricing of Tickets and that any description of the position of seats is that of the Promoter or the Venue. Wasserman, Venue and/or Promoter reserve the right to provide alternative seats at an Event to those specified on the Ticket if the staging of the Event reasonably requires, provided that they are of the same or greater value than stated on the Ticket.
2.10 The Booking Client acknowledges that Wasserman has no control over the Event and gives no warranty or representation that the Event shall take place on a specific date, specific time or that any other specific requirements shall be met including, if a sporting event, the identity of the players.

2.13 The Booking Client shall be responsible for (i) checking of all Tickets on delivery; and (ii) the onward delivery and/or distribution of Tickets to its Guests.
2.14 If there is price increase to the Hospitality Package (outside of Wasserman’s control, including currency fluctuations, changes in duties and taxes), Wasserman reserves the right to increase the price of the Hospitality Package commensurate to the price change to Wasserman. Wasserman shall provide written notice to the Booking Client of such price change and, if the Booking Client rationally deems such price increase unreasonable, the Booking Client shall be entitled to cancel the Hospitality Package, provided such cancellation is received in writing by Wasserman within 7 days of notification to the Booking Client of such price increase and, subject to the Promoter and/or Venue refunding the relevant Fees to Wasserman, the Booking Client may be entitled to a refund of the Fees.
3 Delivery of Tickets
3.1 Tickets will only be issued to the Booking Client, on receipt by Wasserman of all Fees, charges and costs in cleared funds from the Booking Client for each Hospitality Package purchased by the Booking Client.
3.2 Wasserman will endeavour to send the Tickets and information about the Event, to the Booking Client no later than 1 week prior to the Event.

Time for delivery is not of the essence and any quoted delivery dates are approximate and for guidance only.
3.3 Wasserman shall not be liable for any delay in delivery of the Tickets however caused.

4 Extras
4.1 If the Booking Client requests additional services and/or goods outside of the cost of the Hospitality Package, the Booking Client shall be required to pay for such extras within 7 days of the date of the invoice, or where an Event is less than 7 days, immediately using an authorised credit card.
4.2 Unless otherwise specified in writing by Wasserman or expressly set out in a Hospitality Package, the Booking Client shall be responsible for any costs and expenses it incurs under or in connection with its Agreement with Wasserman (including but not limited to travel and accommodation costs).
5 Cancellation
5.1 Subject to clauses 5.2 and 5.3, Wasserman shall not be liable to give any refund in the event of the Event being cancelled or postponed.
5.2 If an Event is postponed, provided that (i) the rescheduled event takes place at the same Venue; and/or (ii) with materially the same configuration; and (iii) the Venue and/or Promoter declare that the Hospitality Packages shall be valid for the rescheduled event, the Booking Client’s Hospitality Package shall be valid for the rescheduled event and no refunds of any Deposit or Fees shall be payable by Wasserman.
5.3 If for any reason the Event is postponed, cancelled or abandoned (whether wholly or in part and whether or not due to Force Majeure Event) any refunds of the Deposit or Fees (if any) shall be limited to refunds that may be received from the applicable Venue and/or Promoter, less any administration fees that Wasserman may incur. It is recommended that the Booking Client takes out its own insurance to cover such risks.
5.4 Wasserman may cancel an Agreement, including any Hospitality Package if:
5.4.1 the Booking Client is in material breach of the Agreement (including any late payment) and the breach, if capable of remedy, has not been remedied within the time required, as specified by Wasserman; or

5.5 Cancellation pursuant to clause 5.4 shall (i) not entitle the Booking Client to any refund (in whole or part); and (ii) if any portion of the Deposit and/or the Fees have not been paid, these shall become immediately due and payable in full by the Booking Client.
5.6 For the avoidance of doubt, cancellation of any Ticket shall automatically cancel any Hospitality Package related to that Ticket and any refund (if any) shall only be paid in accordance with these Terms.
