Terms and conditions - The Championships, Wimbledon
The Championships, Wimbledon
A booking cannot be considered as confirmed until Sportsworld has received from the client a signed Booking Reservation Form which incorporates acceptance of the Terms and Conditions and Sportsworld has issued a written confirmation of booking. A signed booking form must be returned to Sportsworld within 24 hours of booking to guarantee availability. If received after 24 hours then packages are subject to availability at the time of receipt of the booking form.
Payment Terms:
Deposits as stipulated at the time of booking and shown on the booking form must be paid to Sportsworld within ten working days from the date of invoices, otherwise the booking may be cancelled by Sportsworld and the space resold at the sole discretion of Sportsworld. Final balances must be paid to Sportsworld not later than eight weeks prior to the first day of the event booked. If the booking is made within 8 weeks of the first day of the event booked the final balance must be paid to Sportsworld within five working days from the date of the invoice. For bookings made within 7 days of the first day of the event and for additional services made during the event payment must be made by authorised credit card. Sportsworld reserves the right not to release documents, passes or event tickets for the Championships unless payment of all accounts has been received in full.
Credit Cards:
Sportsworld will accept all major credit cards, although a service charge will be applied in the following terms - Visa and MasterCard 2%, American Express 2.5%. This charge is subject to alteration in line with credit card rate fluctuations. Please note that there is no charge for Switch and Delta.
Cancellations:
In the event of cancellation by the client, at any time after Sportsworld has issued a 'confirmation of booking', the client remains liable for the total value of the booking and any additional services booked. Cancellations must be received by Sportsworld in writing and in the event of cancellation Sportsworld will use its best endeavours to re-sell cancelled packages to mitigate the client's liability. In the event of cancelled packages being resold, Sportsworld shall be entitled to retain a handling fee equivalent to 25% of the total original booking value and any additional services booked and subsequently cancelled.
Alterations:
In the event that Sportsworld is obliged to make any material changes in the package arrangements or cancel them as booked by the client for any reason other than 'Force Majeure' (Force Majeure meaning any event which we/or the supplier of services in question could not, even with all due care, foresee or avoid. Such circumstances may include, but are not limited to; war or threat of war, civil strife, terrorist activity, natural or nuclear disaster, fire, industrial dispute, adverse weather or all similar events outside our control), Sportsworld will always use its best endeavours to ensure that arrangements offered are of at least equal or superior standards. Should the event be cancelled or postponed other than by Sportsworld, the company will use its best endeavours to maximise the amount of refunds to its clients. It is the responsibility of the client to adequately insure themselves against cancellation or postponement of the event.
Liability:
Sportsworld accepts liability for the component parts of the package arrangements and undertakes that these should be provided to a reasonable standard. Sportsworld further accepts responsibility for any personal illness, injury or death which results from negligence on the part of our staff, agents, suppliers of their employees contracted or subcontracted to provide services or facilities to our client whilst acting within the scope of their employment.
Availability:
All packages are subject to availability. All prices exclude VAT.

All terms contained in these terms and conditions are subject to English Law and jurisdiction. The contract becomes effective on the issue of a "Confirmation of Booking" by Sportsworld.
