Terms & Conditions
In these terms and conditions "IET" refers to Ibtikar Entrepreneurial Training.
You may have to adhere to Government legislation or the Promoter/venue operator's specific terms of entry. This could be, but not limited to wearing face coverings, providing negative lateral flow test, or use of vaccine passports.
Purchasing tickets
-
Tickets you purchase are for personal use. Except as we may agree, you and your party must not re-sell or transfer the tickets in breach of the applicable terms. A breach of this condition will entitle IET or the Promoter to cancel the tickets without prior notification, refund, compensation or liability.
-
In addition to the ticket price your order may require payment of a booking fee per ticket, a transaction fees per order and/or other supplementary fees which may apply to the event. Those fees are not refundable except as set out in paragraphs 3, 4, 6, and 16 below.
-
If you order or buy more tickets than the maximum permitted per person, per card or per household, we may cancel all of the order or tickets, in which case you will be refunded the ticket price and any booking, transaction or supplementary fees you have paid.
-
To prevent fraud and protect IET and you, we may carry out checks and/or you may be asked to provide additional information (such as a copy of a credit or debit card statement) after your booking so we can verify your purchase. If we suspect fraud we may cancel any order or tickets.
-
You must inform IET of any change of address, contact phone number or email address, both before and after receipt of the tickets. Our contact details are below. Our preferred method to contact you is email, so you should take care to provide a current, valid email address and be aware that your email filter settings may treat our emails as spam or direct them to your junk folder.
-
An order for tickets is not complete until accepted by us. We try to ensure all prices are accurate but errors may occur. If we discover an error in the price of tickets you have ordered we will inform you as soon as possible and we may either cancel the order (in which case you will be refunded the ticket price and any booking, transaction or supplementary fees you have paid) or give you the option of confirming your order at the correct price.
-
Whilst we allocate specific seats to you we have the right to change these seats to others of equal value.
-
On rare occasions the event may be filmed or recorded. Buying a ticket affirms your consent to the filming and sound recording of yourself as a member of the audience. If you have any objection, should this happen when you attend a event, please contact a member of the Venue Management.
Delivery and collection
-
Tickets may be despatched to you electronically or by post (including secure, registered, recorded and regular post) or made available for collection at the venue.
-
We will try to despatch tickets to you promptly by the despatch method agreed at the time of booking but we may, where reasonable, make tickets available for collection at the event, or issue tickets electronically instead of posting them to you if:
-
posting is impractical due to timing or circumstances beyond our control; or
-
necessary for reasons of identification; or
-
your tickets are lost in the post
-
we are otherwise unable to post tickets to you for any reason.
-
You will be notified by phone, email or in writing (using the contact details provided by you) if this becomes necessary. Please note the conditions for collection at paragraph 13 below.
-
For tickets delivered by post, if you have provided an email address you will receive an email confirming despatch of your order. Tickets delivered electronically may be issued anytime from the date of purchase until the date of the event.
-
We cannot usually specify the dates on which you will receive tickets. If you do not inform us of the non-receipt of tickets within a reasonable time (in any event at least 72 hours before the event) we will have no liability to you.
-
If tickets sent by post are returned to us marked "address IET gone away", "address IET unknown" or similar words indicating that you do not reside at the address, your order may be cancelled and the ticket price and any supplementary charges (but not the booking fee or transaction fee) refunded, or your order may be made available for collection at the event venue.
-
To collect tickets at the event venue the cardholder must present the card used to book the tickets as identification. Other identification or letters authorising collection may not be accepted and the tickets may be withheld at the event venue.
-
Always check your tickets upon receipt and advise us promptly of any errors. Mistakes when ordering cannot always be corrected and any corrections are discretionary.
Cancellation Rights and Refunds
-
Tickets cannot be transferred, exchanged, or refunded once purchased other than for the reasons set out in these terms and conditions. This is subject to any rights you may have pursuant to Ticket Plan Protection purchased when you bought the tickets.
-
If the event takes place but you do not receive the tickets you have purchased for any of following reasons you will be refunded the ticket price and any booking, transaction or supplementary fees you have paid:
-
IET does not receive the tickets from the Promoter and cannot arrange for duplicates to be collected at the event venue; or
-
the tickets have been sent to an address different to the one you specified and you tell us within a reasonable period, as set out at paragraph 11 above, but replacement tickets are not provided; or
-
your tickets are not despatched and no arrangements are made for the tickets to be available for collection at the event venue
-
No duplicate tickets will be issued to replace tickets that have been lost or stolen after they have been delivered to you, and nor will such tickets be refunded.
Cancellation, change or postponement of an event
-
Decisions to change or cancel events are the responsibility of the Promoter. IET cannot guarantee to inform you of any change or cancellation of any event or be held responsible for refunds or for any resulting costs you may incur for travel, accommodation, any other related goods or service or other compensation.
-
You should always check that an event is going ahead at the scheduled date, time and venue.
-
If a Promoter cancels an event or makes significant changes to the venue, date, event time and confirms this to IET, IET will try to inform you. This will usually be contacted by letter for phone bookings or email for online bookings. In urgent cases it may be by phone.
-
If an event is rescheduled, changed or moved, the Promoter will usually give you the option of either retaining or exchanging your tickets for the new date/location. If an event is cancelled by the Promoter you will normally be offered a refund. Please note that the Booking Fee and any Transaction Fees are not refundable in these circumstances. If you opted for Ticket Refund Protection this is also a non-refundable fee. All refunds must be claimed no later than 5 days before the rescheduled date. Refunds will not be issued within 5 days of the event or once the event has taken place.
Refunds
-
If for any reason you are entitled to a refund, in most cases you must return any tickets you have:
-
follow the refund instructions otherwise you may not receive a refund. If these require you to return the tickets, do so promptly and within the timeframe communicated to you.
-
tickets should be returned (with copy of the email or letter entitling you to a refund, or a covering note containing your order reference number and contact information) to the specified address by registered post (or an equivalent secure postal method). Please note that the return postage cost is non-refundable.
-
Any refund will usually be paid, using the same method you used to buy the tickets, within 30 days of the original date of the event or the date that we receive your returned tickets, whichever is later.
-
For more information about refunds, please contact our customer service.
-
No refunds will be offered under any circumstances if you fail to comply with the all terms and conditions applicable to those tickets, the venue or the event (IET paragraph 26 below).

There will often also be rules restricting or preventing the admission of latecomers.
-
IET will highlight any terms, conditions or rules relating to the event of which it is aware and which it considers particularly significant, onerous or unusual. This will generally include age restrictions, ticket types etc. Information on where you can find full details of relevant terms, conditions or rules will be available venue operator via their website or during the online booking process.
-
Before you finalise your booking, please read all the information that applies to the event and/or ticket.

There can be no guarantee that requirements can be met if notified at the event.
-
When you receive your tickets check the details carefully. When attending the event, carry proof of age if appropriate.

Specific seats may be allocated to you at the time of booking, but the venue operator reserves the right to change these seats to others of equal value.
