4.7. When ordering a product or service, or accessing a benefit, you may be required to provide your Payment Card details. If you request and authorise CountryClubuk to use your Payment Card in order to pay a Supplier for products or services, you acknowledge and agree that CountryClubuk shall have no liability in respect of or be responsible in any way whatsoever in respect of the use of your Payment Card provided that CountryClubuk believes it is acting in accordance with the instructions issued by you in relation thereto.

5.5. If, due to your booking of a product or service, CountryClubuk has become obligated to a third party Supplier for making advance payments on your behalf, it will be deemed that full liability for such payments will fall to you and you authorise CountryClubuk to debit your Payment Card with any such charges.

Neither CountryClubuk nor its Suppliers will accept any responsibility for price increases which may occur between your order for tickets and your full payment. If it happens that, during the time between your payment of a deposit and your full payment, the price of tickets either increases or reduces, you will be offered the opportunity to buy the tickets at the up-to-date price or you can elect to receive a refund of your deposit within 30 days, minus a handling charge. If during the time between your payment of a deposit and your full payment, the tickets are no longer available (eg for a sold-out show or event), you will receive a refund of your deposit within 30 days, minus a handling charge. Please note that neither CountryClubuk nor its ticket agent Partners can be held liable in any way if tickets for which you have not paid in full are subsequently no longer available or have increased in price.

7.5. In the event of show cancellations directly by the artist/promoter, only the return of the face value of the tickets can be guaranteed. Shipping fees are non-refundable.

7.6. CountryClubuk or its ticket agent partner may, at its sole discretion, despatch your tickets by post at the standard rate. Please note that neither CountryClubuk nor its ticket agent partners can be held liable for any failure by the Royal Mail to deliver your tickets.

7.7. CountryClubuk or its ticket agent Partners usually despatch or email tickets well in advance. However, some events have posting restrictions and are not despatched or emailed  until the week prior to the event taking place. On certain occasions, our representatives may deliver your tickets to the box office on the night of the show or event at no additional cost, or email your tickets to the email address which you provide.

7.8. Bookings are personal and may not be resold, transferred, exchanged, or otherwise assigned without first obtaining the prior written consent of CountryClubuk, which consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of CountryClubuk. Any tickets purchased, resold or offered for resale in breach of these special conditions may be cancelled and invalidated in the sole discretion of CountryClubuk.

Goods remain the property of either the Supplier or CountryClubuk until they have been paid for in full.

8.5. CountryClubuk is a private membership club which exists to benefit its Members. Only fully paid-up Members of CountryClubuk are entitled to purchase items from CountryClubuk.
