TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR FUNCTIONS AND MEETINGS

This document contains the terms and conditions which will apply to the booking of a function between yourselves and The Marquis of Cornwallis Ltd. (hereinafter called "the Company").

1 CONFIRMATION Upon verbal or written confirmation of a booking the company assumes the terms and conditions as described within are accepted whether this document has been signed or not. Once accepted a confirmed booking can only be cancelled or varied in accordance with these terms and conditions.

2 DEPOSITS The Company requires payment of a deposit before confirming any function booking. Payment of any deposit must be made at the time of a booking. Such a deposit will normally be calculated at the rate of £10.00 per person or full amount of any function room hire fee. However, The Company reserves the right to amend the amount of deposit required upon accepting a confirmed booking or upon agreeing any variation of it. The final bill will be issued on the day of the function, and any balance payable should be settled before departure.

3 CANCELLATIONS If you cancel your confirmed booking more than 7 days before the date of the event, the Company will refund your deposit in full. If the cancellation occurs within 7 days of the date of the function, the Company will charge a cancellation charge of 100% of the deposit or hire fee paid.

4 CHANGES TO THE DATE A change of date of the function will be treated by the Company as a cancellation, unless a new date is set immediately. The Company cannot make any commitment regarding availability of alternative dates for postponed or changed events.

5 VARIATIONS IN NUMBERS The Company requests that final numbers for an event are confirmed no less than 48 hours before the event. The final number confirmed will be the minimum number for which the cost per person is charged. Should the number of guests decrease within 48 hours of the event date, the full set menu price or an estimated spend per person will be charged.
