All Goods are offered and sold subject to sufficient stock being available and to the price being confirmed by us.

Cancellation of orders

We may cancel all or part of any order for Goods at any time before the Goods are delivered by giving written notice to the Buyer. On giving such notice we shall within seven days repay to the Buyer any sums paid in respect of a cancelled order. We shall not be liable for any loss or damage arising from such cancellation.

The Buyer may not cancel or vary any order without written consent from the Owner upon terms that shall indemnify us against all losses including loss of profits, costs, damages, charges and expenses incurred by the Buyer.

Price & Payment

We reserve the right at all times to revise the price of the Goods due to factors beyond our control including, but not limited to foreign exchange fluctuations, alteration of duties, increase in cost of production or transport.

Any price quoted by us at the time a Buyer makes an order for Goods shall be an estimate only and the actual price to be paid by the Buyer for the Goods shall be as set out on the invoice including VAT at the rate in force on the date of the invoice.

Payment of the invoice is due on the date indicated on the invoice. If no date is indicated, the invoice shall be due for payment within 30 days of the date of the invoice.

If the Buyer fails to make payment in full on the due invoice date, we shall be entitled to: -

• Charge interest on overdue invoices that shall accrue from the date of invoice from day to day until the date of payment at a rate per annum of 5% above the NIB base rate from time to time in force.
• Cancel or suspend any further deliveries or collections of Goods.

The method of payment shall be as specified on the invoice and all payments will be in Euros.

Delivery of the Goods shall be made to the Buyers address on or about the delivery date. The Buyer shall make all necessary arrangements to take delivery of the Goods whenever they are tendered for delivery. We shall not store any Goods on behalf of the Buyer after such date.

In spite of delivery having been made, title to the Goods shall not pass from us until:

• the Buyer shall have paid the price in full plus VAT in full; and
• no other sums whatsoever shall be due to us from the Buyer

Until property in the Goods passes to the Buyer in accordance with the conditions herein the Buyer shall hold the goods as our bailee. The Buyer shall store the Goods (at no cost to us) separately from all other goods in its possession and marked in such a way that they are clearly identified as our property.

We shall be entitled to recover the price (plus VAT) notwithstanding that property in the Goods has not passed from us.

Until such time as property in the Goods passes from us the Buyer shall upon request deliver up such Goods as the Buyer may have in its possession. If the Buyer fails to do so we may enter upon any premises owned occupied or controlled by the Buyer where the Goods are situated and repossess the Goods.

The Buyer shall not pledge or in any way charge by way of security for any indebtedness any of the Goods, which are our property. Without prejudice to our other rights if the Buyer does so all sums whatever owing from the Buyer to us shall forthwith become due and payable.

The Buyer shall insure and keep insured the Goods to the full price against all risks until the date the property in the Goods passes from us. Without prejudice to our other rights if the Buyer does so all sums whatever owing from the Buyer to us shall forthwith become due and payable.

Until such time as title in the Goods has passed to the Buyer any money received by the Buyer as a result of any insurance claim of whatever nature with regard to the Goods shall be held on trust for us as if it had been a payment received from a third party in accordance with the conditions above and shall upon receipt thereof by the Buyer be immediately remitted to us.


Force Majeure

We shall have no liability whatsoever under, or in any way related to the sale and purchase of the Goods or otherwise for any failure to fulfill any obligation hereunder if and to the extent that such fulfillment is prevented by circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

13. Travel and travel times
We reserve the right to change bus or bus supplier at any time.  Such change will not be regarded as a Major change for the purpose of this booking.

We will reserve a comfortable, clean and roadworthy vehicle with on-board toilet facilities for any journeys booked through us.   We will also ensure that travel times are adequate to allow for reasonably foreseeable traffic or other delays. 

However, we will not accept responsibility for failure by any third party travel supplier to honour our arrangements with them.

Some bus journeys may involve stops en route and as factors affecting this are not always known before departure we cannot always notify you in advance, though we will endeavour to do so.

Planned travel times will be outlined in any documentation that you receive.  These will be for guidance only.  Please check your final itinerary when you receive it as it will show the final schedule.

Please note that the driver or conductor of the bus will have absolute authority over the vehicle and passengers at all times when they are boarding or on board.  He can refuse to carry anyone if they are, in his opinion, unfit for any reason to travel or may pose a danger to the vehicle or other passengers.  

If you or any person for whom you are booking is refused carriage in these circumstances, the contract with us will terminate immediately and we will have no further responsibility or liability to you.

Arrangements in the event of a travel delay are the responsibility of the third party carrier.

14.  Festival Terms and Conditions
Please note that the Festival organisers retain the right of admission for all of the events included in the Comedyshop.ie packages.   In the event that a performer or performers are unable or unwilling to perform as scheduled the Festival will reschedule or substitute that performer as they see fit.  Comedyshop.ie will not accept any responsibility for such alterations to the elements included in our packages which are in the Festival’s control.  We will however, engage in dialog with the Festival to ensure that you are kept fully informed of your options and that those options are no less favourable than they would be had you booked your tickets directly with the festival. 

In the case of the ‘Golden Ticket’ package which includes access to the Festival Club the rights of admission apply in full and your admission and attendance is at the discretion of the Festival.  

Should you be refused admission or ejected from the Festival Club due to breach of any conditions herein or within the Festival’s or venue’s conditions you will not be entitled to any financial or other compensation for that element of your package(s).  Equally in the unlikely event that the Festival Club is cancelled no financial compensation will apply.

15. Complaints
If you have a complaint about any package booked with us please tell a Comedyshop.ie representative or the supplier of the service concerned immediately, preferably in writing. The problem can then be thoroughly investigated and we can make all efforts to try and remedy the situation there and then to prevent the package experience being spoilt.  If your problem still cannot be resolved please contact Peer Pressure office within 28 days of the completion of the package.  No liability can be accepted for claims not notified in that period or if the claim was not notified to our representative.

16. Website accuracy
We will endeavour to keep the information on our website as up-to-date as possible.   However there may be circumstances where an advertised package or element is either modified or not available.  Such situations may be dictated by local circumstances, accidental damage to accommodation, adverse weather conditions, or other circumstances beyond our control. 
 

17. Extras
All accounts for services and goods, provided as part of any package, which are not covered by the inclusive package cost, must be paid by the client before departing that hotel or commencing an onward or return journey.

18. Your responsibilities
It is your responsibility to:
     a. Ensure a reasonable standard of behaviour by yourself and by those for whom you have booked.  We reserve the right to decline to accept or retain any person as a client if their behaviour is, in our opinion, or in the opinion of the bus driver, hotelier, venue manager, accommodation owner or manager or any other person in authority, likely to cause distress, damage, danger or annoyance to other customers, employees,  entertainers, other people or to property.   You understand that we shall have no liability to pay any refund or compensation or costs incurred by any person whose behaviour is deemed thus to be unacceptable.
     b. The accommodation arranged for you is only be used by those people named on the booking form.   You must not share the accommodation or allow anyone else stay there.
