You accept that for the latest information on Event, including Event prices You should speak, write or email directly to Our representatives at Our office using the contact details on Our website.
3.2 Our Event prices are set as given on the website, either on the date of Your signature on the Application Form, or no more than 5 working days before the receipt of the completed Application Form at Our Registered Office, whichever is the later. The price in force at this time shall be reflected on the invoice sent to You with Your Booking Confirmation.

3.5 We reserve the right (in very rare circumstances) to make alterations to an Event without notice, including alterations to the itinerary. If the alterations cause a Significant Change in the structure or duration of the Event prior to the start-date of Your Event, You will be entitled to change Your choice of Event, or receive a refund of the Event Fee, if paid. This shall be the limit of Our liability in the event of a significant change to the Event.

We accept no liability in respect of products or services procured by You from Third Party Suppliers, such as but not restricted to, travel agents, insurance providers and local suppliers.
4 Liability
4.1 Nothing in this Agreement shall exclude or limit Our liability for (i) fraud or other criminal act, (ii) personal injury or death caused by the negligence of Our employees in connection with the performance of their duties hereunder or by defects in any product supplied pursuant to this Agreement, or (iii) any other liability that cannot be excluded by law.
4.2 Subject to Clause 4.1 in no event will We be liable under this Agreement for any damages resulting from: (i) cancellation of flights or costs resulting from missed flights, (ii) loss of opportunity, and/or (iii) any indirect or consequential loss. Such liability is excluded whether such damages were reasonably foreseeable or actually foreseen.
4.3 Except as provided in Clause 4.1 Our maximum aggregate liability to You for any cause whatsoever shall be for direct costs and damages only (this does not include flights, insurance, visas, vaccinations and any other elements that are outside of our control) and will be limited to a sum equivalent to 125% of the Event Fee paid and payable by You under this Agreement.
4.4 We hereby exclude to the fullest extent permissible under the applicable law all liability that We have not expressly accepted in this Agreement. These limitations will apply regardless of the form of action, whether under statute, in contract, tort, including negligence, or any other form of action. For the purposes of this Clause 4, “We” includes Our employees, Sub-contractors, licensors and suppliers who shall therefore have the benefit of the limits and exclusions of liability set out in this Clause in terms of the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.
4.5 Save as provided in Clause 4.6 You shall have no remedy in respect of any representation (whether written or oral) made to You upon which You relied in entering into this Agreement.

Should it become necessary to abandon an Event because of such an event, We will be entitled to retain such monies received necessary to cover costs incurred.
4.8 You accept that weather conditions may prompt the cancellation of scheduled events within an Event, and that We cannot be held responsible for such cancellations.

5.2 Whilst We are committed to ensuring the safety of Our clients, We do not accept liability for any negligence on the part of Third Party Suppliers or any other agents used by You, which are not connected to Your Event.

Any further help will be provided at the discretion of the In-Country Coordinator.
5.3 Should We, in case of emergency, provide You with any financial support, You are obliged to reimburse all monies given to You by Us within 6 weeks of the Event end-date. The provision of such financial support is entirely at Our discretion.

You have the right to refuse the taking of any risks which You believe may endanger Your health and safety, or which are not covered by Your insurance as set out in Clause 6.1 below, and You agree that We will not be held liable for any injury or damage caused to You where You have taken a risk willingly, and the injury or damage arose other than as a result of Our negligence.
5.5 You accept that the health facilities in Your Event country may be of a lower standard to Your home country and consequently may not provide the level of treatment You expect in the case of an emergency.

Your insurance must cover cancellation, curtailment, repatriation, legal expenses, medical and emergency travel, personal accident, personal liability, rescue and assistance, hijack, and travel delay.

You are required to provide Your insurance to Us at least 4 weeks in advance of the departure date.
6.2 Your Policy cover should extend beyond the planned length of the Event by at least two weeks. You acknowledge that, although We have said this is the minimal level, it still may not be adequate. We recommend that independent advice be taken.

6.4 You agree to indemnify Us in respect of any claim for loss or damage arising from any accident, personal injury, loss of life or damage to property caused by You during the course of the Event.

8 Balance Payments, Cancellations and Amendments Policy
8.1 You acknowledge that Your payment for an Event contributes to the overall costs of equipment, staff and administration, incurred by Us in planning and organising Your Event, and that We will have incurred the largest part of Our costs on a non-recoverable basis before the Event start-date. Therefore if Your Event is terminated either by Us in accordance with Clause 2.4 above or by You for any reason other than Our breach of this Agreement then the deposit is non-refundable.

8.2 Any request from You to amend a booking must be put in writing and sent to contact@runweekends.com. If we agree to transfer Your booking to an alternative Event, then provided such an alternative Event commences within 12 months of the original booked Event start-date, We will transfer the Event Fee or any part of the Event Fee that You have paid to the new Event less a sum of £50.00 to cover Our costs incurred in re-arranging the booking.
8.3 In the unlikely event of Us cancelling Your Event before the specified start-date other than as a result of a force majeure event as set out in Clause 4.7 above, We will refund to You whatever portion of the Event Fee You have paid. This will be the full extent of Our liability.
8.4 In the event of cancellation of an Event as a result of a force majeure event as set out in Clause 4.7 above then We shall retain whatever portion of the Event Fee paid is necessary to cover Our reasonable expenses incurred in organising the Event and refund to You the remainder. This will be the full extent of Our liability.
8.5 If You leave Your Event before the specified Event end-date other than as a result of Our breach of this Agreement, no refund will be made to You.
8.6 At point of booking, You have the option to pay in full or with a deposit of 20%.

8.10 The full balance must be paid 60 days before the event date. If the full balance is not paid 60 days before the event you will lose 100% of your deposit with your remaining paid balance returned to you within 30 days.
