If You are terminating the Agreement for a reason set out at clause 2.1 to 7.2.5 below, the Agreement will terminate immediately and we will refund You in full, for any Hire of the Pitch which has not been properly provided. The relevant reasons are:
    • we have told You about an error in the price or description of the Hire of the Pitch You have Ordered and You do not wish to proceed;
    • the Hire of the Pitch will be significantly delayed because of events outside our control;
    • we suspend the Hire of the Pitch for technical reasons, or notify You are going to suspend them for technical reasons, in each case for a period of more than three weeks;
    • our material breach of the Agreement; or
    • any other legal right to terminate.
  • What happens if You terminate the Agreement without a good reason. Unless You have a right to terminate the Agreement immediately (see clause 2), the Agreement will not terminate until 30 days after the day on which You contact us. For example, if You tell us You want to terminate the Agreement on 4 February the Hire of the Pitch will stop on 3 March.  If you terminate the Agreement under this clause 7.3, you will not be eligible for any refund or credits in respect of any Pitch Hire paid for but not received.
  • If You terminate the Agreement and payments are outstanding to us, the Team Organiser shall be liable for any such outstanding sums on behalf of the rest of the team.
  1. OUR RIGHTS TO END THE AGREEMENT
    • We may terminate the Agreement if You breach it. We may terminate the Agreement and withdraw Your rights to the Hire of the Pitch at any time by writing to You if:
      • You do not make any payment to us when it is due and You still do not make payment within 7 days of us reminding You in writing or orally that payment is due;
      • If you are a Team Organiser, You do not, within a reasonable time of us asking for it, provide us with information that is necessary for us to Hire the Pitch, for example, details of players to be registered in Your club/team;
      • You abuse or insult TTR Staff, referees, volunteers or other players, whether in person and/or in writing, such as on social media channels and in correspondence; or
      • You act against the interests of TTR, for example by recruiting, or attempting to, for rival organisations or businesses at our leagues and venues.
    • You may be required to reasonably compensate us if You breach the Agreement and the circumstances outlined at clause 8.1.1-8.1.3 above apply. If we terminate the Agreement in the situations set out in clause 8.1 we will refund any money You have paid in advance any Hire of the Pitch which we have not provided. However we may deduct or charge You reasonable compensation for the costs we incur as a result of You breaching the Agreement. No refund will be provided when the Agreement is brought to end under circumstances outlined at clause 8.1.1-8.1.3 (inclusive).
  2. PRICE AND PAYMENT
    • Where to find the price for the Hire of the Pitch. The price of the Hire of the Pitch will be the price set out on our Website, in force at the date of Your Order unless we have agreed another price in writing. We use our best efforts to ensure that the prices of the Hire of the Pitch advised to You are correct. However please see clause 9.2 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the Hire of the Pitch You order.  Prices quoted on the Website show the total price payable under both the Pitch Hire Agreement and for the League Services.
    • What happens if we got the price wrong. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, the Hire of the Pitch may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting Your Order so that, where the Hire of the Pitch’s correct price at Your Order date is less than our stated price at Your Order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the Hire of the Pitch’s correct price at Your Order date is higher than the price stated in Our price list, we will contact You for Your instructions before we accept Your Order.
    • If Your payment is not authorised by our payment processor, Your Order will not be fulfilled.
    • When You must pay and how You must pay. We accept payment with online payment, bank transfer, cash, or over the telephone. The full cleared payment is due before either the second or third rounds of the competition league You have signed up for, as set out in the description of the Hire of the Pitch on our Website.
    • We can charge interest if You pay late. If You do not make any payment to us by the due date (see clause 4) we may charge interest to You on the overdue amount at the rate of 8% a year above the base lending rate of 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.
    • What to do if You think an invoice is wrong. If You think an invoice is wrong please contact us promptly to let us know and we will not charge You interest until we have resolved the issue.
  3. OUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE SUFFERED BY YOU
    • Nothing in this Agreement excludes or limits our liability for:
      • death or personal injury caused by our negligence;
      • fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; and
      • any matter in respect of which it would be unlawful for us to exclude or restrict our liability.
    • We are responsible to You for foreseeable loss and damage caused by us in breach of the Agreement. If we fail to comply with these terms, we are responsible for loss or damage You suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaching the Agreement or our negligence, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the Agreement was made, both we and You knew it might happen, for example, if You discussed it with us during the registration process.
    • We are not liable for business losses. We only supply the Hire of the Pitch for private, non-commercial purposes. You may not use the Hire of the Pitch for any commercial, business or re-sale purpose.
    • We are not liable for lost or stolen belongings at the Pitch. You are responsible for Your own belongings that You take to the Pitch.
    • Without prejudice to the generality of the above, our liability for all losses caused by a breach or tort giving rise to a claim shall be limited to damages of three (3) times the total amount paid by You pursuant to the Agreement and in connection with the Hire of the Pitch, and which both You and we have considered and agree is a reasonable sum given the respective positions of the parties and the types of direct losses likely to occur.
    • For the avoidance of doubt, Your ability to recover losses from us under this Agreement is limited to our breach of this Agreement, and not under any other Agreement between us.
  4. HOW WE MAY USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
    • How we will use Your personal information. We will use the personal information You provide to us to:
      • provide the Hire of the Pitch;
      • process Your payment for the Hire of the Pitch; and
      • if You agreed to this during the Order process, to inform You about similar products that we provide, but You may stop receiving these communications at any time by contacting us.
    • You have the right to withdraw the consent You have given at any time by contacting us at the contact details specified at clause 3.1. This will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out by us before you withdraw your consent.
    • We will only give Your personal information to other third parties where the law either requires or allows us to do so.
  5. OTHER IMPORTANT TERMS

    • If a court finds part of this contract illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the paragraphs of the Agreement operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.
    • Even if we delay in enforcing the Agreement, we can still enforce the Agreement later. A waiver of any right or remedy under the Agreement or law is only effective if given in writing and shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach or default. No failure or delay by a party to exercise any right or remedy provided under the Agreement or by law shall constitute a waiver of that or any other right or remedy, nor shall it prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy. No single or partial exercise of such right or remedy shall prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy. For example, if You miss a payment and we do not chase You but we continue to Hire of the Pitch to You, we can still require You to make the payment at a later date.
    • Which laws apply to the Agreement and where You may bring legal proceedings. The Agreement is governed by English law and You can bring legal proceedings in respect of the Hire of the Pitch in the English courts.
