1. 4. If any of the Terms & Conditions of Entry are determined by a competent authority to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable to any extent then, they shall, to that extent, be severed from the remaining Terms & Conditions of Entry which shall continue to be valid to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws. A waiver of any right or remedy under the Terms & Conditions of Entry or by law is only effective if given in writing and shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent right or remedy. A failure or delay by a party to exercise any right or remedy provided under the Terms & Conditions of Entry or by law shall not constitute a waiver of that or any other right or remedy, nor shall it prevent or restrict any further exercise of that or any other right or remedy. No single or partial exercise of any right or remedy provided under the Terms & Conditions of Entry or by law shall prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy.

 

1. 5. No terms and conditions or similar provision of any document which you have provided or provide to us shall apply to us or the Terms & Conditions of Entry.

 

1. 6. The Terms & Conditions of Entry constitute the entire agreement between the Club and the Hospitality Holder in relation to the purchase and use of the Hospitality and neither the Club nor the Hospitality Holder shall have any claim or remedy in respect of any statement, representation, warranty or undertaking made by or on behalf of any other party in relation to the Terms & Conditions of Entry which is not set therein.

 

1. 7. Notwithstanding any other provision in these Hospitality Terms and Conditions and with the exception of any Football Authority, no other person other than you or the Club has any rights under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to rely on or enforce any term of these Hospitality Terms and Conditions.  Nothing in these Hospitality Terms and Conditions shall affect any right or remedy of a third party that exists or is available other than as a result of the aforementioned Act.

 

1. 8. You shall not use any of the Club’s intellectual property on or in any promotional or other materials whatsoever.

 

1. 9. Nothing in the Terms & Conditions of Entry is intended to, or will be deemed to, constitute a partnership or joint venture of any kind between the parties or create a relationship of agent and principal between the parties for any purpose.

 

1. 10. These Hospitality Terms and Conditions any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. The parties hereby submit to the jurisdiction of the Courts of England and Wales in relation to any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with these Hospitality Terms and Conditions (including in relation to any non-contractual disputes or claims). In addition, in respect of data protection matters within its remit the Information Commissioner’s Office shall also have jurisdiction.

 

1. 11. The Club shall at any time be entitled to transfer its rights and obligations under the Terms & Conditions of Entry to another organisation within its group. The Club confirms that: (i) any such transfer shall not adversely impact you and/or the continued provision of Hospitality by such group company; and (ii) it shall use reasonable endeavours to inform the Hospitality Holder of any such transfer (for example, by placing a notice on the Club’s website).

 

1. 12. Despite the Club’s best efforts, the pricing displayed for Hospitality may be mispriced from time to time. Except in cases of obvious error, the price of Hospitality will be as detailed at the point of purchase from time to time. The Club is under no obligation to provide Hospitality, even if a confirmation email has been sent in respect of that Hospitality or the Club has signed the Hospitality Booking Form, where the Hospitality is incorrectly priced and such error is obvious and could have been reasonably recognised by you as an error. If the Club has made a mistake and the correct price for the Hospitality is higher, the Club may either contact you to request whether you want to buy the Hospitality at the correct price or cancel your order. If the correct price for the Hospitality is lower than the Club’s stated price, the Club will charge the lower amount and send you the relevant Hospitality. Clause 12.2 shall apply in such circumstances. Nothing in this clause limits any other rights available to the Club.
