Online booking terms (businesses and consumers)

(1) Introduction

Please read these online booking terms carefully.

You will be asked to expressly agree to these online booking terms during the IAB event and training courses booking process on our website.

(2) Interpretation

In these online booking terms, “we” means IABUK (and “us” and “our” will be construed accordingly); and “you” means our customer or potential customer under these online booking terms (and “your” will be construed accordingly).

(3) Booking process

The advertising of IAB events and training on our website constitutes an “invitation to treat”; and your submission of a booking request for an IAB event and training constitutes a contractual offer. No contract will come into force between you and us unless and until we accept your order in accordance with the procedure detailed below.

In order to enter into a contract to attend an IAB event and training courses, you will need to take the following steps: (i) you must select the relevant IAB event or training course, and then proceed to the checkout; (ii) if you are a new customer, you must then create an account with us and log in; if you are an existing customer, you must enter your login details; (iii) once you are logged in, you must confirm your order and your consent to these online booking terms; (iv) you will be transferred to the SagePay website, and SagePay will handle your payment; (v) we will then send you an initial acknowledgement; and (vi) once we have checked whether we are able to meet your booking request, we will either send you a booking confirmation (at which point your booking will become a binding contract) or we will confirm by email that we are unable to meet your booking request.”]

We will not file a copy of these online booking terms specifically in relation to your booking. We may update the version of these online booking terms on the website from time to time, and we do not guarantee that the version you have agreed to will remain accessible. We therefore recommend that you download, print and retain a copy of these online booking terms for your records.

The only language in which we provide these online booking terms is English.

Before you place your order, you will have the opportunity of identifying whether you have made any input errors by reviewing your order before paying. You may correct those input errors before placing your order by going back into your order and editing your details.

(4) The IAB Event and Training Courses

The IAB events and training courses are provided by the IAB.

(5) Price and payment

Prices for IAB events and training are quoted on our website. However, it is always possible that some of the prices on the website may be incorrect. We will verify prices as part of our online booking procedures so that an event or training courses’ correct price will be stated when you pay for the event or training course.

Payment must be made in full [upon the submission of your booking request]. We may / cancel the contract between us if the price is not received from you in full in cleared funds.

The prices on the website include all value added taxes (where applicable).

Payment must be made by SagePay, BACS, and cheque.
