Fees
eventsave.co.uk is free to use for Buyers. A deposit fee (Deposit/Booking Fee) is payable by a Buyer when a bid is accepted. The Deposit amount payable is deducted from the total value of the bid displayed to the Buyer upon acceptance. The outstanding balance due is to be paid by the Buyer directly to the Supplier in accordance with the terms and in a manner as agreed between both parties.
The deposit payment is based on a percentage of the total agreed costs between the two parties. A minimum fee of £5.00 per confirmed and accepted sale plus 5% of any total fee greater than £99.99.
Suppliers are charged a transaction booking fee based on a tiered percentage of their accepted quote price.
We may voluntarily waive our right to receive a Deposit in certain circumstances, but any such waiver is entirely discretionary and without accepting any legal obligation to do so.
On accepting any Bid the Buyer must pay the Deposit to eventsave for our part in the introduction to the bidding supplier.
Suppliers are responsible for the collection and payment of all VAT associated with the supply of services to Buyers.
We may suspend, waive or change the method of calculation or rates of Fees at any time, either permanently or for any limited promotional or other period. Any changes will be described on the Site.

Cancellation
Booking contracts are formed between Buyers and Suppliers so the negotiation and agreement of any cancellation and its consequences are matters for them.
Deposit payments made to eventsave are non-refundable. eventsave reserves the right to refund in part or full any such deposit. Any refund is entirely discretionary and without accepting any legal obligation.
However, if the buyer cancels before any service has been provided and either party then wishes to recover their Deposit or Fee then they may make a request to us for repayment. No request should be made within 7 days of the date of acceptance of the Bid or until reasonable attempts have been made to agree the terms of cancellation directly.

We will review all cancellation requests. If appropriate the cancelled quote request shall be relisted or deleted. The Deposit or the Fee may be refunded at our sole discretion. Any request for a refund of the deposit fee paid should be made within 30 days of the acceptance of the bid. eventsave cannot be liable for requests outside this timeframe.

No cash refund will be provided once the buyer has received the contact details of the Supplier. In the event that the suppler in unable to fulfil its obligations as booked then the buyer must contact eventsave to assist with finding an alternative supplier.
