Definitions
“Unified Dating”, “We”, “Us”, “Our” and “Ours” means Unified Dating Limited, Company Registration Number: 09421920; 8 King Edward Street, Oxford, OX1 4HL; (“Unified Dating” being a trading name of Unified Dating Limited) or its independent Host (as applicable).
“You”, “Your”, “Yours” means a client who participates in the Events, subject to these terms and conditions.
Once You complete the Order Form and submit it to Us, a binding contract between Us and You will arise.
Introduction of service offering
Unified Dating facilitates on-line speed dating (“OSD“) events, virtual on-line events and physical events and liaises with independent hosts (“Hosts”) who organise singles events on their own behalf, but on identical terms to these (“Host Event”), and Unified Dating also organises events itself (all such events including OSD being “Events”). It will be clear when you book an Event whether it is a Host Event or one directly organised by Unified Dating and therefore with whom you are contracting on these Terms and Conditions as Our Events will state the following words “Event Organiser: Unified Dating”.
Events are specifically for the attendance of people that are single and 18 years or older.
If You decide to attend a Unified Dating Event You agree that You are single and available and not attached.
Unified Dating/Host does not vet the validity and backgrounds of attendees. It is Your responsibility to verify personal information of other guests to Your satisfaction.
All information that You provide must be true and accurate in all aspects and no material information must be omitted.
Unified Dating will do its best to achieve a good balance of male and female attendees for each Event, however, this cannot be guaranteed.
Unified Dating can also create bespoke events at Your request. Depending on the nature of the request, We will issue You a quote for such an event. Additional terms and conditions may apply to such bespoke events as well as these terms and conditions.
Bookings
Booking Events is via https://www.unifieddating.com by clicking on the Book Here button.
By completing an Order Form you are agreeing to these terms and conditions.
Unified Dating reserves the right to refuse admission to an Event without providing a reason.
Event ticket price must be paid, via our web portal. In the case of a Host Event, the ticket price is payable to the Host directly at the time of booking onto an Event, via our web portal. Details of Events will be available via our web portal ticket booking sub domain: http://unifieddating.eventbrite.com.
Bookings for Events and places are available on a first come first served basis. Please find information about Events and book for Events via Our web portal ticket booking sub domain: http://unifieddating.eventbrite.com.
Please save a copy of Our Terms & Conditions of Business for Your own reference.
You are entitled to a cooling-off period of fourteen days once Your order is submitted. For the avoidance of doubt this will be from the date that You fully complete the Order Form and submit it to Us and accept Our Terms & Conditions. However, if You book an Event to take place before the end of the usual fourteen working day cancellation period then Your cancellation rights will end as soon as the Event commences. This cooling-off period is only applicable on any paid membership subscriptions if we have available to purchase. This cooling-off period is not applicable on Event ticket bookings.
Booking & Cancellation Policy
Events must be paid for, via our web portal, at time of booking. Your booking for an Event is only confirmed once payment is received by Unified Dating or the Host in respect of a Host Event. Payment must be made at the time of making Your booking via our web portal ticket booking sub domain. Information about the Event and what will be provided to You in the Event, including any food, drink or other products will be clearly displayed in the information about the Event. Any additional food or drink that You purchase during an event on top of that if any items are included in the Event ticket price will be Your responsibility to pay for directly to the venue. Unified Dating/Host will not take responsibility for costs that are incurred by You in this respect and You agree that it will be Your responsibility to pay for these. We cannot guarantee the number or make up of attendees at an event as sometimes those who have booked will not attend. We cannot guarantee the number or gender mix and do not offer refunds if some attendees fail to attend or the numbers are low or the gender mix skewed.
Our events are for mixed ages. Our minimum age requirement is that attendees must be 18+ to book on and attend our events.
We have a no refunds policy. However, we offer Event credits of equivalent value to what You paid if a valid reason is provided. If You inform Us or the Host less than 24 hours before the Event that you would like to cancel your Event booking then You will lose the total amount that You have pre-paid to Unified Dating or the Host for the Event ticket price. If You give more than 24 hours’ notice You will be offered an Event credit of the full amount that You paid to use towards booking a future Event with us. Please note that if you do not turn up to an Event that You have booked and paid for that no Event credit will be offered. Your booking for an Event is for Your attendance only and must not be transferred to another person. If you would like to bring friends, any friends must be booked on and have a ticket. Bring a Friend tickets are also available to purchase.
Unified Dating and Hosts reserve the right to reschedule or cancel a service or Event. In this instance Unified Dating/Host reserves the right to consider the provision of a rescheduled or alternative service or Event. You will be notified if an Event has to be rescheduled or cancelled. In this case, unless an alternative service or Event is agreed, You will be offered an Event credit to use towards booking a future Event with us. No additional compensation or refund will be offered. If an Event has to be rescheduled or cancelled You will be informed by email.
It may be possible for self service transfers on an event if You need to transfer to-and-from a ticket or event to another ticket or event. If transfers are available You will see the ability to process a self service transfer. To be able to transfer the event that You are looking to make the transfer on must not have ended and if You are looking to transfer to another event that event must not have started. Additionally, a transfer can only be made if there are available tickets on the ticket or event that You are looking to transfer to. If the price of the ticket that You are looking to transfer to is higher than what was originally paid then You will be charged the price difference. No refund will be provided if You are transferring to a lower cost ticket. There is a £2 fee that We charge for transfers. Transfers can only be processed on paid tickets. If you used a code for a free ticket on the event you want to transfer, i.e. because we provided you with an event credit then you will not be able to self service transfer. In this instance please contact us so that we can help.
Cameras may be present at some Events. Unified Dating reserves the rights to any photographs or video footage taken at Events. Such footage may be used for marketing and promotion subject to our obtaining express written consents from any attendees identifiable in such material prior to any agreed usage. You will not receive any compensation for this and hereby consent to your personal data being used for such purposes subject to our obtaining the above consents.
