1.3 TANKS A LOT LTD will charge for any non-attendees at full price.

3.5 Any postponements of confirmed and contracted business will be considered as a cancellation in accordance with the above cancellation clause. However, provided the revised event date is agreed and takes place within 130 working days of the original event date, payments received by TANKS A LOT LTD from the client may, at TANKS A LOT LTD’s discretion, form a credit towards the future event.

4. Liability
The activities that Clients will undertake are inherently dangerous although all guests are fully supervised throughout. As such neither TANKS A LOT LTD or its employees or agents shall be liable for any damage, loss, delay or expenses caused to the client, its employees, agents, licensees or invitees or any other persons attending the event except insofar as it results from the proven negligence of TANKS A LOT LTD. TANKS A LOT LTD’s liability shall in all cases (individual personal injury excepted) be limited to the sums paid by the client and shall exclude indirect or consequential loss of whatsoever nature. Individuals are required to sign a liability waiver on the day of the event (although the same does not purport to exclude liability for personal injury arising as a result of the proven negligence of TANKS A LOT LTD).

5. Force Majeure
TANKS A LOT LTD shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform any of its obligations if the delay or failure results from events or circumstances outside its reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, strikes, lock outs, accidents, war, fire, breakdown of plant or machinery, and TANKS A LOT LTD shall be entitled to a reasonable extension of its obligations.

6. Severance
If any term or provision of these Terms and Conditions is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason by any court of competent jurisdiction such provision shall be severed and the remainder of the provisions hereof shall continue in full force and effect as if these Terms and Conditions had been agreed with the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision eliminated.

7. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
In the event of any dispute under the terms of this Agreement which does not prove capable of amicable resolution by the parties hereto, the parties agree that, save where there are substantial allegations of fraud, they will submit to Independent Mediation of their dispute through an independent mediator provided through either CEDR or the Academy of Experts and that the costs of mediation shall be shared equally between them. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that (fraud excepted) proceedings are commenced by one party to this agreement against the other without there first having been a referral to Independent Mediation, then such proceedings will be stayed pending such referral and the Claimant in such proceedings shall not, in those circumstances, be entitled to any costs up to the date that such proceedings are stayed.

8. Governing Law
These Terms and Conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of England and the parties hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.

9. Entire Agreement
This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter and supersedes any previous agreements, arrangements, undertakings or proposals, oral or written. Unless expressly provided elsewhere in this Agreement, this Agreement may be varied only by a document signed by both parties
