2.0 Definitions

3.1 Details of the Event and those associated Services to be provided will be agreed between the Client and Chaika; and confirmed in writing by Chaika issuing a Booking Confirmation to the Client.

3.2 The Client will notify its written acceptance of the booking to Chaika, which is deemed to be acceptance of the Services to be provided as described in accordance with all specified terms and conditions, and the Event will be considered to have been booked when the Client pays the associated deposit to Chaika. No booking will be considered to be complete until the deposit has been received by Chaika.

3.0 Bookings

4.1 Chaika will provide a written breakdown of the fees for provision of all of those specified Services that constitute the Event to be performed for the Client, also specifying the terms in relation to the deposit to be paid and the arrangements for invoicing for the remaining balance of the Price.

4.2 Should any part of the Price need to be amended because of a subsequent price increase by any contractor or service provider, then Chaika shall pass on such increase to the Client.

4.0 Fees and Invoicing

5.1 The Price and all associated Fees relate to a clear identification of the Services required by the Client and the specific associated circumstances of the Event, including numbers of people involved and venue/location characteristics.

5.2 Chaika recognizes that circumstances can change and Chaika will apply best endeavours to accommodate such requests for change by the Client. However, the Client must accept that there will be times when a requested change cannot be accommodated, such as limitations on venue guest numbers, catering restrictions, or time constraints do not allow such changes to be made.

5.3 Where any part of the Event is to be or performed provided by a contractor or service provider specified by the Client, then that specific Fee payable to the contractor service provider will be individually identifiable within the Price.

5.4 The Booking Confirmation will reflect the Event as agreed by the Client and Chaika as in 5.1 above. Any material amendment to those arrangements described in the Booking Confirmation, and acceptance of those changes will be confirmed by Chaika, including any associated adjustment in Fees and the overall Price.

5.5 Where any part of the Event is dependent upon the performance of a Third Party organised by the Client, there shall be no liability upon Chaika where the work of that Third Party has any detrimental impact to Chaika in terms of Chaika's provision of its own Services or performance of the Event.

5.6 Where the Client has any dispute with a Third Party that it has directly engaged in relation to an Event, then the Client must resolve matters directly with the Third Party and shall not withhold any monies otherwise owing to Chaika that is due for payment.

5.7 Chaika will make every effort to engage and directly contract with those contractors and service providers who shall be part of providing the Services for the Event, including those specific contractors and service providers requested by the Client. In such case, Chaika will liaise with the contractor or service provider, and be responsible for making the arrangements with the contractor or service provider, thereby acting as the Agent of the Client for the payment of their Fees, subject to those Fees being chargeable to the Client.

5.8 If circumstances beyond the control of Chaika require that a substitution of a contractor or service provider is necessary to ensure that the Event can proceed, then whilst Chaika will endeavour to consult with the Client, the client must accept that it may not be feasible in the circumstances and in such case Chaika, acting as Agent on behalf of the Client, reserves the right to incur reasonable costs and expenses for which the Client will reimburse Chaika.

5.9 Where Fees are based on number of Event attendees, the Client must provide guaranteed numbers to Chaika at least 14 days prior to the Event. Chaika will reasonably endeavour to accommodate any subsequent increase in attendee numbers requested, though the Client must also accept that any increase may not be allowable or viable. The Fees will be based on that guaranteed number or the actual number of attendees, whichever is the greater. There will be no refund where numbers are less than initially agreed.

5.10 The Client and any of its Event attendees must comply with any reasonable request from Chaika in relation to performance of the Event.

5.0 Event Arrangements and Bookings

8.2 Chaika shall be excused from providing its Services in the event of circumstances arising (Force Majeure) that are beyond its control including war, civil commotion, industrial dispute, extreme weather conditions, pandemic; and Chaika will therefore bear no responsibility or liability where there is any failure or shortcoming in providing the services in relation to the Event, where that failure or shortcoming is reasonably beyond the control of Chaika.
