MONARCH HV

Trading as IMPERIUM Life Limited

Events Terms and Conditions

These apply to any and all Packages/Experiences/Events organised by MONARCH HV, trading as IMPERIUM life Limited.

Our booking conditions set out clearly and simply the responsibilities which we at Monarch HV have to you and you, in turn, have to us when we make a contract between us.

This contract is made when you make a booking, and we accept it by written confirmation on these terms. If you make a booking by telephone or via the website, it will be accepted that you agree to these conditions.

YOUR CONTRACT WITH MONARCH HV

  1. When booking a Package/Experience/Event, you agree on behalf of all your party the terms of these conditions and pay the deposit stipulated for that Package/Experience/Event.

  2. Our Booking Conditions are available via the website, and a link will be sent out via electronic confirmation. Your contract with us shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of England and Wales. You agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales over any claim or matter arising under or in conjunction with your contract with us. You may however choose to submit to the law and jurisdiction of Scotland or Northern Ireland if you are resident in either of these jurisdictions but not to any other law and/or jurisdiction.

  3. Please be aware that any Package/Experience/Event organised by Monarch HV are bound by these Terms and Conditions.

2. CONFIRMATION OF BOOKING

  • These booking conditions together with our general information form the basis of your contract. Your booking is with Monarch HV. In the unlikely event of any problem with an online order, Monarch HV will contact you at the earliest opportunity. In some cases, a postal confirmation may be sent out to you if requested.

  • All purchases are subject to full payment via BACs. We do not accept Cheques and/or payment by Credit or Debit card(s). We also reserve the right to cancel bookings which we reasonably suspect to have been made fraudulently.

  • NB: Booking(s) included in a Package/Experience may have a lower face value than the overall Package/Experience/Event selling price you pay and represent(s) only an element of the overall Package/Experience price.

DEPOSITS / PAYMENT OF YOUR BALANCE

  • The balance of your Package/Experience/Event payment must be made once booking confirmation has been sent, as outlined and stated on your Booking/Reservation or reservation confirmation invoice.

  • If you do not pay by the stipulated date, we reserve the right to cancel your Package/Experience/Event and levy a cancellation charge of 10% of the total Package/Experience/Event.

  • All Deposits and Ticket Purchases are non-refundable. Please note that due to the international nature of Monarch HV Curated Pursuits — hosted across multiple countries — we are unable to recover costs once commitments have been made to hotels, venues, transportation providers, and event suppliers on your behalf. This makes issuing refunds unfeasible. Tickets may, however, be transferred to another party at your request, subject to confirmation by Monarch HV. Please contact us to arrange any such transfer.

3. IF YOU CANCEL YOUR BOOKING

  • If you cancel your Package/Experience/Event booking for all or any member(s) of your party, you must notify us in writing immediately to events@monarchhv.life at least 30 days before the event commences.

  • All tickets and deposits are non-refundable under any circumstances. Because Monarch HV events are hosted across multiple international destinations, payments made to hotels, transportation companies, event venues, and other suppliers on your behalf are typically non-recoverable and non-transferable. This makes it impossible for us to offer refunds once a booking is confirmed.

  • If you are unable to attend, you may transfer your ticket to another individual. To arrange a transfer, please contact us in writing at events@monarchhv.life. Monarch reserves the right to approve all transfers, and proof of legitimacy may be required.

  • We will acknowledge cancellation communications and send an amended booking confirmation or cancellation invoice accordingly. Should you not receive our acknowledgement within 24 hours during normal office hours, please contact us via email at events@monarchhv.life.

  • The following cancellation charges will therefore apply: 10% of the total Package/Experience/Event.

  • Any insurance premiums are non-refundable.

4. OTHER ITEMS

  • You are responsible for ensuring that you adhere to instructions provided by Monarch HV in respect to check-in times/arrival/departure points if applicable.

  • Monarch HV cannot be liable for any loss or expense suffered by clients because of their late arrival or failure to adhere to procedure provided in accordance with check-in/arrival instructions if applicable.

5. PASSPORT/VISA REQUIREMENTS

  • Should the destination for your chosen Package/Experience/Event require travel outside of your resident country, a full Passport/ID is usually required for travel.

  • Please note that it is the responsibility of the client to be in possession of a Valid Passport/ID with normally a minimum validity of 6 months, and any Visa that may be required.

  • Long delays in obtaining Passports/ID Cards and Visas can occur, so be sure to apply well in advance of Travel/Event Date. If in doubt, please check with the consulates of all the countries you will be visiting or passing through.

  • Monarch HV cannot be liable for any loss or expense suffered if you do not adhere to these requirements.

6. ADMISSION AND ATTENDANCE

(Subject to Venue and Booking Conditions)

  • Please be advised the venue reserves the right to refuse admission should patrons breach any terms and conditions of the event or Event Partner/Supplier. The venue may on occasions have to conduct security searches to ensure the safety of the patrons.

  • Every effort to admit latecomers will be made at a suitable break in the event, but admission cannot always be guaranteed.

  • There normally will be no pass-outs or re-admissions of any kind.

  • The unauthorised use of photographic and recording equipment is prohibited. Any photos, videos and/or recordings may be destroyed or deleted. Laser pens, mobile phones, dogs (except guide dogs) and a patron's own food and drink may also be prohibited. You and other ticket holders consent to filming and sound recording as members of the audience.

  • Special effects which may include, without limitation, sound, audiovisual, pyrotechnic effects or lighting effects may be featured at an event.

7. OUR OBLIGATION TO YOU

  • Once we have confirmed we have available space on the Package/Experience/Event of your choice, you will be required to confirm your booking by agreeing to pay a deposit and/or full payment.

  • Once payment has been successfully processed you will receive a formal booking confirmation directly thereafter, usually by email.

  • From this time Monarch HV has accepted your booking under the Terms and Conditions.

  • Please ensure your email address is entered correctly at the time of booking.

8. IF WE CHANGE YOUR TICKET PACKAGE/EXPERIENCE

  • It is possible that circumstances may arise that requires the organisers to make changes to the advertised Package/Experience/Event.

  • Should this be a fundamental change to the Booking Type or Date, we will do our very best to offer you an alternative package/experience/event.

  • Material Alteration to your Package/Experience/Event

  • If an event is materially altered, you will be offered an option to either reconfirm your order for the altered event or to claim a refund within such time as specified by us.

  • Failure to inform us of your decision may result in your order being reconfirmed for the altered event and you will not be entitled to claim a refund.

  • A 'material alteration' is a change which, in our and the Event Organisers reasonable opinion, makes the Event materially different to the Event that purchasers of Package/Experience/Events, taken generally, could reasonably expect.

  • Important note: Compensation payments do not apply to changes caused by reason of war, riots, civil strife, terrorist activity, industrial disputes, natural and nuclear disasters, fire, flood, technical problems to transport, closure or congestion of airports and ports, cancellation or changes of schedules by scheduled airlines/trains, concert/event cancellation and similar events beyond our control.

  • Any travel or arrangements not booked by Monarch HV are outside our control, even if they were to affect your booking arrangements with Monarch HV.

9. WHAT HAPPENS TO COMPLAINTS

  • We do try to ensure that your experience with us is as enjoyable as possible. However, very occasionally, something might go wrong. If you do encounter a problem, please inform our Host(s) immediately who will try and resolve the matter there and then. If the matter cannot be resolved immediately, the details will be recorded by our Host(s) and you will be asked to contact the Monarch HV office by email as soon as possible and no later than 21 days after the event.

  • You will be asked to put your complaint in writing, including your original booking number and all relevant information. Please email: events@monarchhv.life. We can normally agree on an amicable settlement. However, in the unlikely event of us being unable to do so, you may of course refer your case to the Small Claims Court which provides an inexpensive way of settling disputed claims.

  • Please note: We will not accept liability in respect of any claims, whether they are from the court or your legal representative, that we receive later than 14 days after the event has concluded.

10. SPECIAL REQUESTS

  • We will take note of any special requests made at the time of booking and will look where possible to assist.

  • We regret that we cannot guarantee all requests will be possible.

11. CLIENTS WITH DISABILITY

  • Please ensure that we are advised of any party members with disability at the time of booking or as soon after as possible as special arrangements may have to be made.

  • Whilst we will do our best to assist, in some cases venues, accommodation and experiences may not be conducive to clients with disabilities.

  • In the event that we are unable to accommodate any special needs, a full refund will apply, subject to being advised of any special requirements at the time of booking. Carers will normally be required to pay for tickets.

12. RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR TICKET PACKAGE/EXPERIENCE

  • We accept responsibility for the actions and/or omissions of our employees, agents, subcontractors and suppliers whilst they are acting within the scope of their employment with us.

  • We also accept responsibility should the service we offer prove deficient in any way. In the unlikely event that any part of your Package/Experience/Event is not provided in the advertised manner, we will refund that element of the Package/Experience/Event.

  • We will not however be responsible for nor accept liability for death, bodily injury or illness caused to the signatory to the contract and/or any named person on the booking form save insofar as such death, bodily injury or illness is caused by the negligence of Monarch HV or its employees or agents.

  • Where services are supplied by air/train, or by sea the limit of our obligations shall be those laid down by international conventions which govern such matters in respect of air/train or sea carriers.

13. ASSISTANCE

Where appropriate and subject to our discretion, we offer the following assistance to our clients.

  1. a) General Assistance. If any client who through misadventure suffers illness, personal injury or death during the period of the Package/Experience/Event arising out of an incident which did not form part of their Package/Experience/Event.

  2. b) If legal action is undertaken by our clients against any third party as a result of any loss or damage suffered during their Package/Experience/Event provided we have been notified within 30 days of the date of the misadventure and provided we agree to such action then we will meet initial legal costs.

  3. c) If assistance is provided under para a) and b) above we will limit any monies paid to £500.00 per booking form and in the event of there being a successful claim for costs against a third party or there being a suitable insurance policy(ies) in force our costs shall be recoverable from the client concerned.

14. EVENT CANCELLATION

(NB: This may not cover all personal cancellation circumstances)

  • Our responsibility is to provide you with the Package/Experience/Event as advertised by Monarch HV; consequently, we cannot be responsible for any expenses incurred by yourself as a result of the event being cancelled or postponed by the event organisers.

  • Any pre-booked hotel accommodation as part of your booking experience is non-refundable, dependent on when the event is cancelled/postponed or if you have checked in and utilised the room.

  • Similarly, should you for personal reasons not be able to continue with your booking, cancellation charges will apply. We therefore strongly recommend taking out Event/Personal Cancellation Cover.

15. CANCELLATION DUE TO LACK OF DEMAND

  • Very occasionally, we are obliged to cancel a particular Package/Experience/Event due to insufficient numbers; in the event of this happening, we will offer you an alternative Package/Experience/Event.

16. PRICES AND PRICE CHANGES

  • We always endeavour to ensure that prices quoted on our website are accurate. Should any subsequent additions to your booking take place, subject to availability, any additional services or ticket additions may reflect the new selling price.

  • Please note, Booking and VIP Booking Experiences can comprise of many other ancillary costs and will be priced accordingly. NB: The Booking Face value of ticket(s) included will not always reflect prices paid in a Booking or VIP Booking Experience and any Premium Priced purchase is an optional purchase over that of a Booking Only Purchase.
