These terms will be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of England and Wales.

  1. SHOW ETIQUETTE

The following policy has been put in place by the event organisers for the safety and enjoyment of everyone at the RumFest show.

The RumFest unequivocally promotes and encourages responsible drinking by all visitors to the Show

The Show is all about exploring rum, education, fun and enjoyment – not excess.  In this respect, the Show believes in quality over quantity.

Visitors are strongly encouraged to eat before and during the Show.

As well as eating, visitors are encouraged to drink plenty of water in between drams and take regular breaks from tasting during the Show.

There will be free drinking water available on all exhibitor stands and in easily visible locations throughout the venue.

The above guidelines, if followed correctly, should greatly enhance visitors’ enjoyment of the Show and appreciation of the rums available on the day.

As part of their duty of care to the Show’s visitors, exhibitors will not serve anyone whom they believe to have consumed an excessive amount of alcohol.

Safety Stewards will be on duty at the Show for the help and protection of all visitors and exhibitors.

The Stewards will ask anyone who is inebriated or who becomes disruptive or offensive to other visitors or exhibitors to leave the Show.

No readmittance will be granted to anyone who has been asked to leave the Show or who has been removed from the Show for the above reasons.

Please note that following exhibitor complaints at previous events there is a strict sampling policy in place at The RumFest.

All samples will be poured by exhibitors only into the sample glasses provided and must be consumed at the Show.  It is against Show policy for samples to be poured or transferred into sample bottles and taken away from the venue.

We ask that all Show visitors familiarise themselves with the following important sampling policy conditions:

Please do not bring empty sample bottles into the venue or transfer samples provided by the exhibitors into any vessel other than the Show tasting glass.

Visitors bringing sample bottles to the Show venue will be asked to dispose of them before entry to the Show is permitted.

During the event, any sample bottles or other vessels discovered by Show staff to contain rum will be confiscated.

Any visitor to the Show found in possession of sample bottles (empty or full) during the Show will be asked to leave the venue.

Please refrain from soliciting samples from exhibitors to be taken from the venue for consumption elsewhere.  Exhibitors will be asked to report any instances of this activity, and Show staff will ask anyone found to be ignoring this rule to leave the venue.

There will be no refunds or re-entry for anyone asked to leave the Show as a result of breaching any of the above conditions.

  1. PAYMENT METHODS

Payment can be made by debit or credit card online, using the following cards: VISA, VISA Delta, MasterCard & Maestro.

  1. REFUND POLICIES

We offer a 7 DAY COOLING OFF  where you can cancel your ticket and receive a FULL REFUND. After this time there will be NO REFUNDS. Please contact us at info@rumfest.co.uk quoting your order number if you think there is a legitimate reason why you should be refunded. In the unlikely event of the event being cancelled all ticketholders will receive a full refund of their ticket purchase.

  1. MINIMUM LEGAL AGE

By purchasing a ticket to The RumFest, you are confirming that you are over the age of 18. Please bring and be prepared to show proof of your age to the Show.

  1. CONSUMPTION

The RumFest encourages consumption in moderation and our staff will ask anyone that becomes disruptive or offensive to other visitors or exhibitors to leave the Show.

  1. CONTINUITY OF ACCESS / SERVICE

Our objective is to offer our customers the best possible service, but we are unable to accept responsibility for interrupted access to www.rumshow.com due to technical problems outside of our control. Due to the nature of the Internet, access may be suspended, restricted or terminated at any time, and we are therefore unable to guarantee entirely error-free access and services.

  1. SECURITY

All visitors to the Show will have their bags, briefcases, parcels etc scanned by the security staff.

  1. WHEELCHAIR ACCESS

The Show offers full access for wheelchairs. If you have any special requirements or are likely to require additional assistance please advise us in advance.

  1. PHOTOS / FILMING

Please be aware the photography and filming will take place at the Show and you may be recorded at any point during the event. By entering the premises you give your consent to appear in any photographs or video footage produced by The RumFest.

  1. COPYRIGHT

No photography, imagery, text, source code and any other material shown on www.rumfest.co.uk may be reproduced or redistributed without our prior written permission.

  1.  TICKETS

You will be issued with an e-ticket and you are requested to print off and bring this with you on the day of The RumFest.

HOW IT WORKS

After making a successful purchase you will be given the opportunity to print a copy of the order confirmation page as your e-ticket for the event. An automated e-mail version of the e-ticket will also be sent to the address supplied by you when registering your account.

If, for any reason, you have not printed your ticket nor received the automated e-mail please email us info@rumfest.co.uk

You must present this e-ticket, along with valid ID, to gain admission to the event.

Please note:

Without a valid e-ticket and supporting ID, your admission to the event may be refused and under these circumstances The RumFestwill not offer any exchange or refund.

For this event no physical tickets will be dispatched.

If you are making a multiple or group purchase of tickets using this method, please be aware that only one e-ticket will be issued for the whole transaction. If, for any reason, individual tickets are required, then we strongly recommend that separate transactions are made.

Always check tickets on receipt, as mistakes cannot always be rectified later.

CHANGES TO EVENT AND CANCELLED/RE-SCHEDULED EVENTS

The Ticket Provider reserves the right to make alterations to the published Event programme where reasonably necessary.

It is your responsibility to ascertain whether an Event has been cancelled or re-scheduled and the date and time of any re-scheduled Event.

We cannot guarantee that you will be informed of such cancellation before the date of the Event.

PRIVACY POLICY

We collect some personal information in order to process and deliver any orders you make with us online, and also as part of the registration process for our mailing list form, so that we can contact you from time to time to let you know of offers that we’re running.

When you order from us, we require your name, email address, delivery address, credit or debit card number, registered address of the credit card, credit card cvc number and the card’s expiry date. This allows us to fulfil your order and to keep you updated about its status. We will also ask you for your telephone number, so we can contact you if there is an urgent problem with your order.

We take steps to protect your privacy and support all the requirements of the UK Data Protection Legislation; we follow strict security procedures in the storage and disclosure of information. We will not share the details that you have disclosed to us with any other parties except as required for the fulfilment of your order. If you do not wish to receive further information from us, please contact us. We will not contact you unless subsequently asked to do so.

PRIVACY POLICY IN FULL:

The RumFest is committed to ensuring your privacy is protected. This section explains how we use the information we collect about you on our tickets site and the procedures we have in place to safeguard your privacy. By submitting your information and using this site, you consent to the collection, storage and processing of your personal information by us in the manner set out in this privacy policy. If we change our privacy policy we will post the changes on this page so that you are aware of them. We advise you to check this page regularly.

If you register to purchase a Ticket you will be asked to provide personal information (such as name, address, email address and telephone number etc) and financial information. We use this information to fulfil your order and notify you of the status of your order and to process your order (for example to verify financial details provided, to despatch e-tickets and to contact you regarding an Event if necessary). We will only provide this personal information to third parties who help us operate the Tickets service (for example, despatch companies, payment processing companies) and will request that they only use the data as strictly necessary to provide the Tickets service. In assessing your order for Tickets we may also provide your information to third parties to help to ensure that your payment details are not being used without your consent and to assist in the detection and prevention of fraud.

The RumFest has implemented technology and security features to safeguard the privacy of your personal information from unauthorised access or improper use. Whilst we make every effort to ensure that your information is secure on our system, no data transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk.

Because the internet infrastructure is global, and it is not possible to predict the routes that information sent over the internet will take, the information you provide may be transferred temporarily via a route which takes it outside the European Economic Area as it passes between you and us. Territories outside of the EEA do not always have strong data protection laws. By submitting your information to this site you consent to this transfer.
