Terms and conditions – Awards

FoodBev Media does not accept provisional entry orders. All bookings must be made using an official FoodBev awards page.

Receipt of bookings will be confirmed via email by FoodBev Media upon your order. If you don’t receive this within 48 hours, please contact FoodBev Awards on +44 (0) 1225 327867 or email [email protected]

It is your responsibility to ensure accurate information is provided at the time of entry.

FoodBev Media reserves the right to alter the programme, venue or speakers without prior notification.

FoodBev Media will not be liable for reimbursing travelling, accommodation or any other expenses incurred by attendees who fail to attend an event for any reason.

By registering an entry, you confirm that you are 16 years or older.

Awards package
As part of your entrant package, you will receive a complementary one-year digital subscription to FoodBev and Refreshment magazines, and an industry-specific newsletter. You can unsubscribe from these at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link contained at the bottom of emails.

Payment terms
Unless agreed otherwise in writing with FoodBev Media, all award entries must be paid by the deadline specified on the relevant award scheme’s web pages in order to be accepted. Failure to pay by the deadline will result in entries being withdrawn from the judging process, but invoices generated by the entire entry process will remain payable if the published cancellation procedure has not been followed.
We accept payment by debit or credit card, or we can issue an invoice on request. Invoices must be paid within 20 days of the invoice date or by the closing deadline, whichever date is sooner.
All disputed items on an invoice must be raised in writing within 24 hours of receipt.
A late payment charge of £100 and interest accruing on a daily basis at the rate of 5 percent above the base rate for the time being of NatWest Bank will be charged on overdue invoices.

Cancellations and transfer terms
All cancellations need to be received in writing within 7 days of your entry or by 17:00 (GMT) on the entry deadline day, whichever is sooner.

Cancellations after this date cannot be accepted, therefore refunds cannot be issued and outstanding invoices will remain payable.

If an invoice remains unpaid on the deadline day, related entries will not be included in the judging process. The invoice remains payable if the cancellation criteria above have not been met.

Filming and photography
We may, at our discretion, choose to photograph, film, broadcast or record awards ceremonies. You grant us an irrevocable licence to use and sub-licence the use of your name, voice, likeness, image and any contribution made by you at or to the event in any and all media (whether now known or hereinafter invented) as part of FoodBev Media marketing communications.

Liability
The views expressed by any speakers at an event are their own. We shall not be liable for the views, acts or omissions of any such speaker or any other attendee at the event. Any information given or distributed as part of the awards ceremonies shall not constitute advice and should not be relied upon.

Applicable law and jurisdiction
These terms and conditions, their subject matter and their formation, are governed by English law.
The courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any disputes arising in connection with these terms and conditions (including any non-contractual terms).

However, if you are a consumer and are a resident of Northern Ireland, you may also bring proceedings in Northern Ireland, or if you are a resident of Scotland, you may also bring proceedings in Scotland.
