Definitions in the Agreement shall also apply in these terms and conditions.

Orders / Acceptance to cover public events

All orders for Us to provide services at Your event ('the event') must be placed by You in writing either by post or e- mail.

The issue by Us of a quotation is not a binding offer and We will only assume contractual liability once We have accepted in writing and booking deposit of 50% of the estimate/quotation is paid as directed.

 Charges

Our charges are as set out in an individualised quote, which forms part of these terms and conditions.

 If an event continues beyond this finish time, the relevant excess duty charges shall apply, which will be calculated by the duty director. Where the finish time exceeds that of the stated time on the written request for medical cover, excess duty charges will become payable.

 All payments for services provided by TrailMed Ltd must be paid within 14 days upon completion of your event.

Every contract to which these conditions apply shall be construed and operate as an English contract and in accordance with English Law and all disputes shall be submitted to the jurisdiction of the English Courts.

Either party may cancel TrailMed Ltd services without penalty up to 30 days in advance of the event date. Subsequent to that date, if you cancel, you agree to pay a 50 % cancellation fee, from 14 days prior to the event a 75 % cancellation fee and within 7 days of the event the full fee is payable. With negotiation, there will be no penalty if the event is cancelled due to bad weather or conditions that make you postpone your event on the understanding that you book our services for the rearranged date. We will make every effort to accommodate this change in event date, but can not guarantee that it will be possible to do so.
