1. Binding terms
These terms and conditions, to which you (the “Delegate”) hereby agree to be bound, apply to your attendance of the Sociability workshop (the “Workshop”) and provision of such Workshop by The University of Warwick, University House, Kirby Corner Road, Coventry, CV4 8UW (the “University”). These terms and conditions form the entire agreement between the University and you with respect to the Workshop.
2. Applications
All applications to the University are applications for a place on the Workshop.
Applications for attending the Workshop must be made using the online registration form. The University may, in its sole discretion, accept or reject such an application and notify the applicant by email accordingly. If information provided by the applicant is found to be untruthful or falsified, the University reserves the right to reject an application or withdraw the acceptance of such application. All admission decisions by the University are final. The payment of any sum to the University by or on behalf of the applicant does not oblige the University to accept an application for attendance. In the event that your participation in the Workshop is terminated, the provisions for clause 4 (Cancellation) shall apply.
Admission to the Workshop is based on a ‘first come, first served’ basis.
3. Payment terms
3.1 Fee
The registration fee for attending the Workshop is as stated on the registration pages of the Department of History (EMECC) website (the “Fees”). The Fees will cover registration for the event as stipulated on the webpages under the options available and will cover costs associated with facilities and hosting the event as detailed on the website. Should you be offered a place at the Workshop, you are liable to pay the Fees in full upon registration for the Workshop. If the University has not received full cleared payment of the Fees from you by the relevant date, the University may terminate your participation in the Workshop without further notice to you.
3.3 General
All payments must be made in pounds sterling and are exclusive of Value Added Tax (VAT) and other taxes, where applicable. With the exception of credit card fees, any taxes, currency conversion costs or other charges incurred in connection with any payments shall be paid by you. The University will not accept any deduction from the Fees in any event.
4. Cancellation
4.1 Cancellations, postponement and changes by the University
(a) The University may alter or cancel any online registration where it deems, in its reasonable discretion, circumstances so require.

(b) Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing or to the provisions of clause 4.2, the University reserves the right to cancel your online registration with immediate effect and without liability under the following circumstances:

i. if in the reasonable opinion of the University, you act in such a way as to prejudice the reputation of the University;

(d) The University will not accept liability for other costs incurred by delegates or third parties as a result of Workshop being cancelled or postponed.
