EFFECTIVE 01/06/2020 (UPDATED / RELAXED 20/05/2021, EXTENDED 01/01/2022, EXTENDED 01/07/2022): COVID-19 PANDEMIC - CONTINUED VARIATION TO OUR BOOKING TERMS & CONDITIONS
Variation of Existing Bookings & New Bookings Made Before Midnight 1st October 2022
 

​

Tailored Events group recognises the evolving impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic on the local event and entertainment industry. With the situation changing on a daily basis we appreciate the difficulty for event organisers or hosts in making a balanced decision about whether to proceed, postpone or cancel their event.

 

Tailored Events Group acknowledges such difficulties and we have therefore made amendments to our standard Booking Terms & Conditions to facilitate greater flexibility for you in coordinating up-coming events. This is in addition to any standard Consumer Rights.

 

For any exisiting or new bookings made up until midnight 1st October 2022 we are offering the following options: 

 

Proceed with your Event:

It’s business at usual amongst the Tailored Events team. We are taking additional steps to minimise the risk of surface transmission including the cleaning / sanitisation of hire equipment, sanitisation of photo booth props  between all events given their communal use, the use of face masks where required in high risk environments, and the undertaking of Rapid Antigen Tests (R.A.T.) as clinically indicated (where stock is available). All staff are double or triple vaccinated against Covid-19 in line with WA Government recommendations (and mandates for Bar Staff under the Hospitality Industry Directive). Reserve staffing measures are also being put in place where possible in the event select staff are required to self-isolate / quarantine. We continue to closely monitor the latest WA Health Department / State Government advice to ensure all events are conducted safely and in accordance with government restrictions.

 

Postpone Your Event:

In the event you wish to postpone your event we will happily re-schedule this to an alternate date within 36 months (3 years) free of charge whilst subject to availability, providing up to 72 Hours notice is provided prior to your event (or 3 Hours where postponement is the result of newly announced [same day] Government imposed restrictions or lockdown), or the request is made prior to midnight 1st October 2022 (whichever comes first). The original pricing structure as stipulated on your Booking Confirmation / Invoice will remain the same, unless your newly appointed date falls on a public holiday or attracts an ultra-peak surcharge (Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Years Eve). In the event you are unsure of a new date we are more than happy to maintain your booking as pending and awaiting an allocation of date, with a credit note issued for use in the interim (with 36 months validity from time of issue). Additional costs / deposit losses may be incurred in exceptional circumstances in accordance with clause [3.3] (generally limited to the cost-price of fresh produce for Mixology packages, or non-recoverable or date-amendable staff accommodation costs for regional events).

​

Cancel Your Event:

In the event you wish to cancel your event we will issue an account credit for your deposit value (less the value of any pre-ordered especially sourced items that we are unable to return - i.e. perishable cocktail ingredients that have already been delivered to us) for use by you (or perhaps even a friend) for use in the next 36 months (from date of issue). This credit can be applied to any of our products or services. Any additional payments made by you beyond the minimum deposit requirement (set at either $250.00 or 50% of your order value, whichever is less) will be fully refunded within 7x business days to a nominated bank account. For security reasons this request must be made in writing from the same email account used at time of booking. Additional costs / deposit losses may be incurred in exceptional circumstances in accordance with clause [3.3] (generally limited to the cost-price of fresh produce for Mixology packages, or non-recoverable or date-amendable staff accommodation costs for regional events).
