Wedding-Connect shall be known as 'The Company' and the named person making the booking shall be known as 'The Hirer'. If 'Wedding-Connect' is merely acting as an agent for another company's wedding car service then the wedding car service will be known as 'The Associate'. It will be deemed that The Hirer accepts responsibility for every person in his or her party and fully agrees to the conditions of hire as follows:-

1. All bookings are to be pre booked only and must be confirmed in writing, with a deposit paid.
   
   
2. In the event that the company merely provides the service of arranging contact between the hirer and the Associate and thereafter a booking is confirmed then the Company's involvement will cease and the terms and conditions will automatically revert to that of the Associate. The company will accept no liability thereafter and in the event that this is the case the conditions stated from hereon in will not apply and The Hirer will be bound by the terms and conditions of the Associate. It will be the Hirers responsibility to ensure that they are happy with the Associates terms and conditions before making the booking. It will also be the Hirers responsibility to ensure that all relevant Insurances are in place.
   
   
3. In the event of cancellation by The Hirer more than 21 days before the hire period, any deposit paid would be forfeit. Exceptional circumstances may allow partial or complete refund of deposit to be made; (e.g. bereavement, however this is entirely at The Company's discretion).
   
   
4. Full payment must be made no later than 30 days before the Hire period. No refund will be made of monies paid after this time.
