Payments by Credit Card 

Credit card surcharges will apply when paying by credit card. If for any reason any Activity Operator is unable to provide the services for which you have contracted, your remedy lies against that provider, and not against Buttoned Up Events and in the event that payment has been made to Buttoned Up Events by credit card, you agree that you will not seek to charge back your payment to Buttoned Up Events.

For any payment by credit card, tickets and other documentation will not be issued until authorisation has been obtained from the relevant card company. Any confirmed booking is subject to your credit card approval for the transaction. In an eventuality where your credit card is not approved we will attempt to contact you but hold no responsibility for any subsequent non provision of services in the event we are unable to establish contact with you.

If GST becomes payable on any supply made or provided, on which GST is not payable at the date of this Agreement, you will pay us (or third party provider as the context permits) an additional amount equal to value of consideration for the supply multiplied by the prevailing GST rate.

Bookings

You expressly warrant, acknowledge and agree that by making a booking, you are the Group Leader and that you are responsible for all payments arising in connection with the total booking cost. Any automatic booking confirmations for such bookings are conditional, contingent on our view of any financial risks, potential ticket despatch delays, or applicable international regulations.  Buttoned Up Events makes no representation that its price sales are identical to prices on individual supplier sites that may exist from time to time.

We do not endorse or recommend any particular Activity Operator and you should make your own evaluation of the accuracy or completeness of any information, opinion, advice or other content available through the Service.

Buttoned Up Events shall only be liable to provide a refund to you to the extent that that it actually receives a refund from the relevant supplier or other third party.
