1. ACCEPTANCE

 

When making a booking with Doomsday Games (‘we’ / ‘us’ / ‘our’) you agree, on behalf of yourself and all persons taking part in that booking, to be bound by the terms and conditions set out herein. As part of the online booking process you will be asked to confirm that you have read carefully and understood the contents of this document.

 

These terms and conditions should be read together with our Privacy Policy in respect to the use of your personal information.

 

2. BEFORE YOUR EVENT

 

2.1 – AGE RESTRICTIONS

The minimum age for game participants is 10 years. Any participants under the age of 16 must be accompanied and supervised in the game room by at least one paying adult (aged 18+) who accepts responsibility for the welfare of those participants less than 16 years of age. Participants aged between 16 and 18 years will require an adult (aged 18+) present on site during their game (but not necessarily in the game room).

 

If all participants appear to be under 18 years of age we may ask for proof of age of at least one adult (aged 18+). If proof of age cannot be provided, the participants will not be allowed to start their game and will be ineligible for a refund or other remedial action.

 

2.2 – MEDICAL AND DISABILITY CONCERNS

We endeavour to make our games as accessible as possible. Should you or a member of your group have a disability or medical problem that could affect your game, please contact us before making a booking to discuss the suitability of our games.

 

2.2 – PRICING

Standard game prices can be found on our website and are subject to change at any time. Changes in pricing will not affect bookings that have already been confirmed, except in cases of obvious error where we reserve the right to invoice you for any monies that you subsequently owe to us. If we do not receive these monies in advance of your event then we will not be obliged to fulfil your booking.

 

2.3 – BOOKING

Online bookings are not made final until payment has been taken and booking confirmation has been received by you (on screen and via the email address you provided when making the booking). Any booking slot(s) selected by you on our online system will be temporarily reserved and held in a shopping basket for 20 minutes. If the 20 minute timer expires and your booking has not been completed then the selected slot(s) will be made available again to other customers.

 

All credit and debit card payments made online via our Bookify booking system are handled through our payment processor, Stripe. Your credit card information will not be stored by Bookify or by us.

 

We are not responsible for the accuracy of information submitted by you during the booking process and therefore are not responsible for any problems arising if the contact details you have provided are incorrect. If you do not receive a confirmation email after making an online booking, or if any details on the confirmation email are incorrect, please notify us immediately. Please check your spam folder before contacting us.

 

2.3 – GIFT VOUCHERS AND DISCOUNT CODES

Gift voucher codes or discount codes should be entered into our online booking system at the checkout stage. We will accept such codes so long as they are valid and have not exceeded their expiry date. If, prior to your event taking place, we discover that a gift voucher code has been stolen and/or falsely used then we reserve the right to reject the booking without notice.

 

Gift vouchers have no monetary value, cannot be exchanged for cash and are valid for 12 months from the date of purchase. Gift vouchers can be used as full or part payment for any game(s). If a voucher's value exceeds the booking cost then any remaining value will remain on that gift voucher, but will still be subject to the initial expiry date of 12 months from voucher purchase.

 

We reserve the right to withdraw and/or cancel any discount codes at any time without giving reason. We also reserve the right to remove any applied discount code from your booking in cases where there is an obvious error and to invoice you for any monies that you subsequently owe to us. If we do not receive these monies in advance of your event then we will not be obliged to fulfil your booking.

 

2.4 – CANCELLATIONS AND REFUNDS

Because our games are ‘live’ events, we operate a strict cancellation and refund policy.

 

Full cancellation requests that are received by us within 24 hours of your booking being made will entitle you to a full refund. Likewise, requests to cancel one or more participants that are received by us within 24 hours of your booking being made will entitle you to a partial refund (the value of which will be calculated based on team size prices, not per-player prices).

 

Any cancellation requests that are received more than 24 hours after the time of booking will not be eligible for a refund except in extreme circumstances, such as a death or bereavement, of which proof may be required.

 

Refunds will not be given for late or failed attendance to a scheduled game unless we have received prior notice and the reason falls under ‘extreme circumstances’, as above.

 

One free reschedule is available per booking as long as it is made more than 2 hours before the game start time. In the event that you are late for your booking by no more than 30 minutes, you will have the option to pay a £30 rescheduling fee to move your booking to a different date/time. If you are 45 minutes late for your booking, your booking will be automatically cancelled with no refunds or reschedules.

 

We reserve the right to cancel your booking in any circumstances. In the unlikely event that we do need to cancel your game we will make reasonable attempts to contact you via the details provided during the booking process. We will offer you the choice of rescheduling your game or receiving a full refund. We are not responsible for any associated costs such as travel and/or accommodation expenses that have already been incurred by you.

 

Once acknowledged and confirmed by us, all refunds will be processed within 14 days.

 

2.5 – RESCHEDULING

Should you be unable to attend your initial booking but do not wish to cancel (or are unable to cancel under our policy outlined above) then we will endeavour to accommodate rescheduling, depending on the availability of un-booked slots and the time remaining until your game is due to begin. If a game is rescheduled successfully, your originally booked slot will be offered to other customers.

 

All rescheduling will take place at the owner’s sole discretion.
