4.1.1 be 18 years of age or over and have the legal capacity to enter into legally binding agreements;
4.1.2 register with us on our Site (in advance or when Booking) or by telephone by providing your real name, phone number, email address and other requested information; and
4.1.3 possess a valid payment method such as a valid debit or credit card or PayPal or any other digital option as stated on the payment page.
Booking methods
4.2 You may make a Booking directly using our Site or by contacting us by telephone or by email using the details in the Contact us section.
4.3 If you provide your Booking details to us by email, we will send to you a link to the Site so that you can make a Booking and pay us online
4.4 By making a Booking with us you are making an offer to:
4.4.1 receive our Booking Service and make payment to us (at the relevant time) in respect of our Services;
4.4.2 pay us all amounts due in respect of the Deposit and Booking Charges.
4.5 The following steps have to take place before a contract is made between us for the provision of the Booking Services:
4.5.1 you submit your Booking to us on the Site by submitting your Booking Details and your payment details for processing.
Before submitting your Booking on the Site, the Booking process will give you the opportunity to review your Booking, these Booking Conditions and the Booking Details for your chosen Property and, if you require, make amendments to your Booking.
For telephone bookings we will read you details of your Booking and Booking Conditions for your confirmation. You may make any required amendments at this point. We will then request your payment details and we will process your payment in respect of your Booking;
4.5.2 you will receive an on-screen acknowledgement of your Booking and a receipt for your payment by email at the address you provided.
For telephone bookings we will verbally confirm your booking reference and will send you a receipt for your payment by email at the address you provided;

4.5.4 we accept:
a) your offer to receive our Services;
b) your agreement to pay us all sums due (at the relevant time) in respect of the Booking Charges (including the Deposit);
in each case, at the time we take any payment from you in respect of the Booking Charges. Accordingly, nothing that we say or do will amount to any acceptance of your offer until we actually take any payment from you in respect of the Booking Charges (including the Deposit) at which point a contract will be made between us for the Booking Services for the provision of the Rental Services under the Rental Contract.
4.6 When we accept payment for all or any part of the Rental Charges, you will no longer owe a debt to us for the associated amount.
5 Fees, charges and payment
5.1 The fees and charges will be as quoted on this Site from time to time and, unless otherwise stated, are quoted in pounds sterling. We use our best efforts to ensure that these are correct at the time when the relevant information was entered onto our systems. However, it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the fees and charges on the Site may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check these prices as part of our confirmation procedures so that:
5.1.1 where the actual Event and activity Charges or other fees are less than those quoted on the Site at the time you made your Booking, we will charge the lower amount when confirming the Booking to you; and
5.1.2 where the actual Event and Activity Charges or other fees are higher than those quoted on the Site at the time you made your Booking, we will contact you as soon as possible to inform you of this error and we will give you the option of continuing to book the activity at the correct (higher) price or cancelling your Booking. We will not process your Booking until we have your instructions. If we are unable to contact you using the contact details you provided during the Booking process, we will treat the Booking as cancelled and notify you in writing.
5.2 The fees and charges may change from time to time, but changes will not affect any Booking which we have confirmed with a Booking Confirmation.
5.3 All Event and activity Charges and all other fees and charges quoted on this Site include VAT, where applicable.
5.4 Before submitting your Booking online, you will be presented with details of the total Event or Activity Charges payable for your Booking together with details of the following amounts payable to us at the time of your Booking:
5.4.2 the Deposit and, if the date the Event an activity Balance would normally fall due for that Booking has already passed, the Balance too; and
5.4.3 any additional fees and charges quoted during the Booking process when you make your Booking (such as add on products or activities)
5.5 If you are paying a Deposit rather than the entire Charges when making your Booking, you will also be presented with the date by which you will need to make payment to us for the Rental Balance. Please note, we may (but are not obliged to) contact you to remind you of the due date for payment of the Balance.
5.6 We currently accept various forms of payment including via credit and debit card. Please refer to our Payment Methods page for details of the payment cards and other methods of payment that we currently accept.
5.7 We take the payments due at the time of Booking from your chosen payment method once you have entered your payment details and have clicked the ‘Confirm Card Details’ button, subject to payment authorisation.
5.8 If the Balance or any other additional payments are due after you make your Booking, then:
5.8.1 if you authorised us to take payment for these amounts from your chosen payment method when you made your Booking, we will automatically take payment from you using your original payment method. If there has been a change to the Charges due to changes in the exchange rates and additional amounts are payable, we will contact you before taking payment. Please see further paragraph 8.1 below; or
5.8.2 if you did not authorise us to take payment from your chosen payment method for these amounts when you made your Booking, you will need to make these payments either by using the payment feature within your account on the Site or by contacting us by telephone using the number in the Contact us section below.
6 Payment currencies, interest and credit card surcharges
6.1 During the booking process you may be presented with an option to pay for your Booking in one or more currencies. The payment currencies we accept for a particular Booking will be notified to you during the Booking process. The exchange rate for all payments will be based on exchange rates set by our internal systems which may increase and decrease based on changes in the market. If on the date your Balance is due, changes to these exchange rates result in an increase of 5% or more to the Charges we quoted at the time you made your Booking, then we may increase the Balance to include this additional amount. If you do not wish to pay this amount, you may end your Contract giving notice within 14 days of the date we notify you of the increase.
6.2 If you do not make any payment to us by the due date we may charge interest to you on the overdue amount at the rate of four percent (4%) a year above the base lending rate of the Bank of England from time to time. This interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. You must pay us interest together with any overdue amount.
6.3 Please we may choose to charge a ‘good housekeeping bond’, which will be included alongside the charges quoted to you during the Booking process. We will communicate directly with you to collect and (if appropriate) return this bond.
7 Your right to cancel or transfer a Booking
7.1 Please check all the details in your Booking Confirmation promptly after receiving the confirmation and notify as soon as possible if you think we have made any mistakes or errors with your Booking.
7.2 Please contact us directly using the contact details in the Contact Us section if you would like to amend your Booking. If we are able to amend the Booking, additional charges including additional Rental Charges and/or an administration fee may also be payable to cover our costs of making the amendment. This does not affect your legal rights.
7.3 After you receive your Booking Confirmation and within 4 weeks prior to your event date:
7.3.1 you will not have a legal right to cancel the Contract as the Services provided under it are event and activity services for which the contract provides a specific period of performance. You may, however, end the Contract in accordance with the section Your right to end a Contract.
7.4 You may not transfer your Contract to another person. If you do not take part in the event or activity but your Guests do, you will still be legally responsible for all your obligations under the Contract and these Booking Conditions and your Guests’ compliance with them. Please see further paragraph 13.4.
7.5 Acts of terrorism, force majeur, epidemics – please note Roman Kingdom will follow official Government advice regarding major disasters, natural or otherwise. If we are able to deliver the service or activity you have booked we will not be able to provide a refund. Customers are advised to take out relevant insurance.

If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these Booking Conditions, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of you breaking a contract made under them, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us or an Owner (as applicable) taking steps against you at a later date.
