Events and Ticketing Terms and Conditions and Cancellation Policy

If we unfortunately have to cancel any particular event, we will issue full refunds to pre-paid ticket holders. If the event is not a ticketed event, and no pre-payment has been made, then we cannot make any payments for travel or other costs to customers in the event of a cancellation. We reserve the right to cancel an event at any time.

When booking a ticket online for an event, customers must register an account with the website, giving basic contact details (name, email address, phone number) so that we can keep them informed about the event itself. After the event is completed they can contact us to remove their profile entirely, but their names will still show up on transaction reports relating to the event until we remove their data entirely, after a period of 7 years.

These contact details will be used to contact the customer to let them know if there are any changes to the event, or if the event is cancelled. If a customer provides a means of contact which they then do not engage with (i.e. they don’t answer their phone and we leave a voicemail which they don’t hear; we email them and they don’t check that account) we cannot be responsible for any travel/other costs incurred to the customer for attending an event which has since been cancelled or changed. This does not affect their right to a full refund. We will post details on our website and any relevant social media channels immediately upon cancelling an event.

If the ticket holder cannot attend the event for any reason after purchasing a ticket then we cannot guarantee a refund. In some cases, where we have a waiting list for a popular event, we are able to offer a refund as we can guarantee filling the space – however we need at least 5 days notice in this instance.

Tickets you purchase are for personal use, and cannot be re-sold.

In the event that we can re-schedule an event, any pre-paid ticket holders will be contacted and automatically be transferred to the new date. If they cannot attend, we will issue a full refund. If you have any questions relating to cancellations or refunds, please contact us on 01234 762615 or alternatively email us.

If a mistake is made in pricing, for whatever reason, we will either refund the order entirely so that you can re-order, or refund the over-charged amount directly to you.

On rare occasions, events may be filmed/photographed for use in marketing materials. We will try, where possible, to ask for consent if we are taking a close up shot where you (the subject) are identifiable, however we will not take any photos of children or vulnerable adults without prior written consent. If you feel you were photographed/filmed without consent, then please contact us directly so that we can remove any footage or images from our library.

Tickets will either be sent via email, post (on request) or available for collection at the Forest Centre. We reserve the right to not release tickets for collection until the day of the event.

We reserve the right to remove you from an event, or not allow you to enter the event, if your behaviour is deemed inappropriate (abusive, threatening, drunken, or anti-social) or if you are found to be carrying offensive weapons or illegal substances.

Information given by you to purchase tickets may be stored on our system and used for marketing purposes. You can opt-out of marketing emails at any time, and we will not disclose your information to any third parties.

Donations and virtual gifts

Dedicate a Tree

Dedicating a Tree is a form of donation to the charity. When donating to Dedicate a Tree, you receive either a PDF file that can be personalised, or a printed copy, posted to an address of your choosing, as a thank you. This will be sent out within 3 businesses days of receiving the order.

Colours shown on certificates on your screen may not reflect the final print quality. An email containing your certificate should arrive within minutes of payment completion but due to circumstances out of our control, this may not always be the case. If your certificate hasn’t arrived within 24 hours, please contact us on 01234 767037 or email [email protected] and we will arrange for it to be re-sent at the earliest convenience.

Dedicated trees are not identifiable in any way, and are not marked. Your donation goes towards maintenance of woodlands across the Forest of Marston Vale.

Leaf Plaques

Leaf Plaques are a form of donations to the charity.

Plaques remain the property of the Forest of Marston vale Trust. We supply the plaque, and install at the earliest convenience. We do not accept plaques installed by alternative suppliers.

The Forest of Marston Vale Trust reserves the right to relocate any plaque as required. Where possible we will consult with the purchaser of the plaque regarding the re-location, however the final re-location decision remains with the Trust.

The Trust does not take responsibility for any damage caused to plaques either accidental or intentional by individuals or by natural forces, such as the weather. We will notify the purchaser of the repair/replacement costs, but will not be liable for these costs.

The Trust reserves the right to remove plaques which it considers to present a safety risk, without further notification. In the event of a plaque being removed due to it being a safety risk, The Forest of Marston Vale Trust will offer a replacement at the prevailing market cost. The Forest of Marston Vale Trust will not be responsible for any costs of replacement.

The Trust will carry out basic maintenance of plaques and their surrounding areas, in keeping with its current maintenance policy and in line with the resources available.

The Forest of Marston Vale Trust reserves the right to make changes throughout its sites, including the areas near plaques, without any prior notification.

The Forest of Marston Vale Trust does not allow flowers or other tributes to be attached to or near plaques and any such tributes will be removed without any notification.

Personalised messages

For personalised products, please be careful when filling out details to be printed/engraved as once they have gone through to print they cannot be changed, and we cannot offer refunds.

The Forest of Marston Vale is not responsible for the contents of personalised certificates. By donating for a personalised, e-certificate you are agreeing not to send anything offensive, threatening, unlawful or abusive in your personalised message.

If we are made aware by a recipient that they have received a certificate that breaches the above rules, we reserve the right to ban the sender from purchasing further services from our website.

We will vet the contents of leaf plaques and printed certificates before they are printed for obscene or abusive language. We are not, however, responsible for proof reading the spelling of any names or messages on the plaque, and while we will point out any obvious mistakes, once the item has gone to print, it is final.

Friends of the Forest

Friends of the Forest membership is a form of regular donation (monthly/annually) to the Forest of Marston Vale Trust. Benefits can be changed at any time, but in the case of any changes, all members will be informed by their preferred means of contact.

Individual (adult) Friends receive a welcome letter, membership card, Forest leaflet, Wetlands map and a small joining gift. They also receive discounts in the gift shop and on weekend room hire at the Forest Centre, subject to availability. Membership gives one adult free access to the Wetlands Nature Reserve.

‘Kids’ Friends receive a welcome letter, membership card, poster, sticker and 2 gifts. They also receive discounts on various events and activities throughout the year, subject to availability. Membership gives one adult and one child free access to the Wetlands Nature Reserve.

If you wish to cancel your regular payment, and it has been setup to automatically come to us via Paypal/your bank account, then you must cancel the payment at your end and then let us know in writing, via email ([email protected]) or via post (Forest Centre, Station Road, Marston Moretaine, MK43 0PR).

Annual payments are non-refundable – we cannot offer partial refunds part way through an Annual Membership year.

Payments

If there is a pricing error, or for some reason one of the above products becomes unavailable for any period of time, we will notify all customers visiting that particular page of the website and/or refund existing customers who are not able to receive the product.

For all of the above products, we may need to contact you to gain further information. We will only use the means of contact provided when you sign up, and will not pass those details onto any third parties.

Prices include VAT – prices are subject to change without notice.

We do not file details of your order for you to access at a later date on our website.

We accept Visa Credit, Visa Debit, Mastercard Credit, Mastercard Debit, Maestro and Paypal. We cannot accept payment by cheque.

Payment will be taken effective immediately once the donation has been made online, using secure providers. Please see our Privacy and Cookies policy for details of our payment providers.

By law you are entitled to receive products which are as described, fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality. If you receive a product which is faulty or damaged, contact us for a refund or replacement.

All donations made to appeals on our website will go towards the allocated project, however if the maximum amount is reached we will put additional donated money towards the general needs of the Forest of Marston Vale. If you wish to make sure that your money is returned if it does not go to a specific appeal, you must tell us in writing, when making your donation.

For donations of £100 or more made on credit/debit cards, you are entitled to a refund if you let us know within a 7 day ‘cooling period’. For more information, see http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1992/41/section/61

If an appeal doesn’t reach its necessary total to complete a project and no alternative funding can be found, the funds will become unrestricted and be used for the general needs of the charity. You may tell us in writing if you object to any money you’ve donated going towards anything other than the project which you originally donated for and we will arrange a refund

For more details about where this money may go, contact us on 01234 767037 or email [email protected]
