In these circumstances, it is very important for you to review any applicable terms and conditions before you complete the transaction.
6.13. Where there are specific terms and conditions between us and you for types of Services provided by email, messaging or phone, these are outlined below.

7. Dining
7.1. Velloy works with third party restaurant and dining Suppliers to offer exclusive and non- exclusive bookings, special benefits and offers to Members as part of the Services.
7.2. You accept that special benefits and offers with Suppliers are subject to availability and may change from time to time and without notice. It is important to note that not all of the Services made available or provided on the Site or via Newsletter are available in all jurisdictions.
7.3. We reserve the right to deny restaurant reservation requests from you and/or charge cancellation fees on behalf of suppliers if you repeatedly fail to show up for bookings or violate any Supplier’s terms and conditions including their cancellation terms

8. Tickets
8.1. Velloy works both as a primary supplier and with third party ticketing and event Suppliers to quote details of face value tickets, hospitality tickets and tickets from secondary market agents to Members as part of the Services.8.2. All tickets are subject to availability and prices quoted may change should there be a delay in purchase.8.3. If you decide to order tickets from Velloy directly or a Supplier quoted by our Service Provider, you shall authorise Velloy to arrange for payment of the tickets on your behalf. Once you have given us authorisation to purchase tickets with the Supplier on your behalf, you will be liable to pay the full price for the tickets. Once the purchase is confirmed, no refunds or exchanges will be available.8.4. In some cases, Velloy may have to pay service charges resulting in above face value prices. These will be agreed with the member before any transaction takes place.8.5. You shall enter into a contract for the sale and/or supply of the tickets with the relevant Supplier. Velloy shall not be party to this contract.8.6. You should ensure that you check both the booking confirmation and the tickets you receive and notify us immediately if any details are incorrect or there are any discrepancies. Where an error has been made by us, we will endeavour to resolve the error with the appropriate level of cost and/or compensation. In all other cases, we will endeavour to assist you with correcting the error without incurring any financial liability.8.7. We will endeavour to advise you if any tickets have restricted view prior to your purchase. Tickets will be considered restricted view only if specified by the Supplier, box office, venue and/or on the physical tickets.8.8. The Supplier, together with us, will select the method and company used for ticket delivery. Often tickets will be sent via secure post or courier which will require a signature upon delivery. When delivery is attempted, if you are unavailable you will need to collect from the local sorting office or, where appropriate, organise a re-delivery directly with the courier company. We will offer support with any deliveries but will not be held liable for errors not caused by us.8.9. Tickets are usually delivered between 5 to 7 days before the date of the event, with the exception of theatre tickets, which are sent once after the booking is made. The date upon which tickets are released is controlled by the promoters of the event (and not us), who often delay delivery in order to reduce both fraudulent activity and the risk of tickets being misplaced.8.10. When tickets are purchased through secondary ticket agents, the Supplier will make every effort to deliver them several days before the event. However, they reserve the right to deliver tickets up to 24 hours in advance and on rare occasions may arrange for you to meet a representative at the venue.8.11. It is your responsibility to advise us of any change of address which may affect your booking, or if you plan to be away in the days leading up to the event.8.12. If tickets are misplaced and originally purchased through a face value box office, tickets can often be duplicated. It is unlikely that tickets will be re-issued prior to the event date and will therefore need to be collected from the box office. In order to collect tickets in this way, the cardholder and the card that was used to purchase the tickets need to be present. Letters of authorisation are subject to the venue box office’s discretion and in some instances, may not be accepted.8.13. If tickets purchased through secondary ticket agents are misplaced, it is extremely difficult to arrange duplicates or box office collection, since they usually need to be collected by the individual who originally purchased the tickets. If this occurs, we will endeavour to arrange for duplicates or collection, but if we are unable to do so we cannot provide a refund.8.14. If you find you are unable to attend an event and would like advice on re-selling your tickets, please contact us for further information.8.15. While we will endeavour to update you if we become aware of any changes made to the date or time of your event, we cannot take responsibility to inform you if an event is cancelled or to provide details if it is rearranged by the event promoter. Where tickets are purchased through the secondary market, tickets will usually be valid for the rescheduled date. If you are not able to make the new date, refunds are at the relevant Supplier’s discretion. We are not responsible for any additional financial outlay, such as for accommodation or transport, that occurs as a result of a cancelled or rescheduled date.8.16. For tickets purchased direct through the box office, if the event is cancelled, you will receive a full refund direct from the box office. If the event is postponed, refunds will not be given until a new date has been rescheduled. If you cannot attend the new date, then you are normally entitled to a full refund.8.17. Please ensure you check your credit card statement that your credit card has been charged for the amount of your tickets within 3 to 5 days of booking. If this is not the case, then please call your Lifestyle Manager.8.18. In the unusual event that a Supplier (box office or secondary market ticket supplier) goes insolvent, bankrupt or does not deliver the tickets, we cannot accept liability for the loss of tickets. The relevant terms and conditions between you and the Supplier will apply. We shall offer assistance and act on behalf of the Member to endeavour to remedy the situation. As a minimum, this will include:a) advising the Member of the chargeback process, if they have paid by debit or credit card, whereby Visa / MasterCard / Amex go to the vendor to try to re-coup the money. Note that there is a time limit within which this chargeback process is applicable; and / orb) if the Member chooses to purchase new tickets, sourcing alternative tickets to match the original order as closely as possible in terms of location, price and date.

9. Events and Benefits
9.1. Velloy works with Suppliers to share details of events and/or benefits to Members as part of the Services.9.2. Benefits are subject to availability.9.3. Benefits may be withdrawn at any time and without prior notice.‍

Section TICKETS: Purchase, Cancellations & Refunds

  1. Purchase, Cancellations & Refunds

1.1 Velloy aims to ensure that package benefits remain available to the Client at all times. If any of the benefits become unavailable, Velloy will make good faith efforts to see that prior commitments are honoured to the fullest extent possible, but shall not be responsible for any actions of third parties, third party suppliers or events beyond Velloy’s physical control. If entrance with procured invitation to the event is denied to the Client at no fault of the Client, a full refund will be issued to the Client via credit card or bank/wire transfer within 10 business days.

1.2 All sales are final. In the event a purchase results in cancellation by fault of the Client in which Velloy has acted as a credit agent or vendor on the Clients’ behalf and purchased invitations in advance of payment from the Client for said event, the Client hereby agrees to reimburse Velloy the full amount due for said invitations.

1.3 Refunds will only be issued in the event that Velloy fails to procure invitations for the Client. Some events are two fold in that an afterparty happens after an award or show or event. If the client attends an afterparty, the cost of this, determined by Velloy, will be deducted from any refund offered. In the event the venue does not perform the engagement or if invitations to an event are not issued or honoured at no fault of the Client, Velloy shall issue a full refund to the Client within 10 business days.

1.4 On occasion if agreed by Velloy, should a client cancel a purchased ticket, Velloy will make all efforts to resell their tickets on their behalf. Should Velloy be able to resell the tickets then the client will be refunded the lesser of:

a) 80% of the resale price of the ticket

b) 80% of the original purchase price from the client

1.5 Velloy’s procurement of invitations is subject to the following provisions:

a) Velloy is not the issuer, original seller or a reseller of invitations. Invitations purchased are not commercial offerings available through retail channels and are sold at prices obtained directly from suppliers, which may include service charges reflecting costs and efforts in obtaining the invitations.

b) Invitation prices are not set by Velloy and are subject to market conditions and demand.

1.6 Velloy will not be held liable for a venue’s failure or postponements and cannot be held responsible for venue’s inability to hold an event by accident, Acts of God, riots, strikes, labour difficulties, epidemics, any act of any public authority or any other cause, similar or dissimilar, beyond venue’s or Velloy’s control. In the event of the event being cancelled by the venue, Velloy will issue a full refund within 10 business days.

Section 2: Liability 2. Liability

2.1 Velloy shall use its reasonable endeavours to provide the services with reasonable care and skill and, as far as reasonably possible, in accordance with the Client’s request and instructions from time to time. Where Velloy supplies the Client with any goods or services supplied by a third party, then Velloy is acting as the Client’s agent in sourcing the goods or services. Velloy will use reasonable care in selecting the supplier and ensuring the order is placed in accordance with the Client’s wishes. For the avoidance of doubt, Velloy does not and will not provide any representations or recommendations in relation to any of the information and suggestions comprised within the services.

2.2 Velloy will only be liable to deliver the package described in the invoice sent (or the online payment gateway). Any additional event and package information required will be conversed to the client via emails or telephone conversations, however, it should be noted that though all endeavours will be made to ensure this information is accurate, Velloy will not be held responsible for inaccuracies in this information unless they result in the result in the client being unable to attend the event. Events do change each year and we rely on our previous experience and third party suppliers to provide this information.

2.3 The Client’s contract for the purchase of products or services is made with the relevant supplier/partner/vendor only. Velloy acts as an agent for the supplier/partner/vendor and, unless expressly provided otherwise, all the Client’s rights and remedies are against the supplier/vendor/partner. Velloy, as the agent of the Client, shall make all reasonable efforts to ensure that the Client receives the products/services as marketed/offered to them.

2.4 Velloy will not be responsible for products and services offered by Velloy as agents for the suppliers/vendors/partners or for any aspect of the relationship between the Client and any particular supplier/vendor/partner. Velloy will however do everything it reasonably can to assist the Client in any dealings it has with the supplier/vendor/partner.

2.5 Tickets are not always physical tickets, and may take many forms including, and limited by, names on guestlist, virtual tickets and passes, e-tickets, invitations, being escorted into a venue by a representative.

2.6 The Client agrees that any contract entered into by him/her with any of the suppliers/vendors/partners is an independent contract. Velloy hereby disclaims any and all liability for any act or omission of any supplier/vendor/partner or any loss incurred by the Client as a result of any act or omission of a supplier/vendor/partner whether or not arranged through Velloy.

2.7 Save in respect of death and personal injury caused by the negligence of Velloy or as expressly provided for in these Terms and Conditions, Velloy shall not be liable for any loss, cost, expense or damage of any nature whatever, whether direct or indirect, resulting from the provision of the services or the Client’s reliance upon the information and suggestions provided by Velloy hereunder and the resulting supply of goods and services to the Client by any third party.

2.8 Velloy shall have no liability to the Client for any loss, damage, costs, expenses or other claims for compensation arising from requests or instructions supplied by the Client which are incomplete, incorrect or inaccurate or arising from their late arrival or non-arrival, or any other fault of the Client.

2.9 Save in respect of death and personal injury and subject to the provisions of these Terms and Conditions, Velloy’ maximum liability to the Client for breach of any of its obligations hereunder shall be limited to the value of the services and the charge for the services to be provided.
