Your Membership

All events and membership options are subject to availability.
If you are opting for a residential option at an event, it is your responsibility to arrange another member to share the room with where applicable.
Once we have reviewed your registration and sent a confirmation to you via your chosen email address, you will be requested to pay the full amount of the registration fee. Should you fail to pay when requested, your registration may be cancelled and any place at the event lost. If you are struggling to pay your registration on time, please contact our team at registration@furrific.uk to review your options.
Equally, if your room share partner does not pay their registration fee on time, your room booking may be at risk. Please contact our registration team at registration@furrific.uk immediately if this is the case.
If you are a participant in a room share for which the other person is the leader, their room choice will override any that you have made and neither Furrific Ltd, the event venues, or any other entity will be responsible if this does not meet with your expectations or requirements. Please communicate clearly with your chosen room partner and agree on your requirements in advance.
You agree to the terms and conditions of whichever payment provider you use in order to complete payment of the registration fee.
Once your registration for the event is confirmed and paid we may be unable to refund this if you subsequently wish to cancel your attendance.
You may be given the opportunity to upload an image to represent yourself on your membership badge. By using this functionality you bestow upon us the right to reproduce the image for the sole purpose of adding it to your membership badge and that you have the right to do so. The club may, at its discretion, decline an image should it be considered offensive or could bring the club into disrepute.
Any items given to Sponsor level attendees or those opting to purchase a t-shirt individually with a standard registration are given as recognition for the attendees support of the event and have no monetary value in the event that they should be refused or returned. Should these be delivered to the member in faulty condition a replacement will only be available while stocks remain. Replacements will not be available for items sustaining wear and tear damage or damage due to negligence outside that of the event.

Cancellations

Furrific Ltd is not responsible for circumstances beyond reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, war, or terrorism, extreme weather conditions, pandemic, or government action. Furrific Ltd reserves the right to cancel events with no warning in these circumstances.
In the event that an event is cancelled, Furrific Ltd will offer members refunds to the amount possible given expenses already incurred directly and with respect to commitments. By registering you accept both this and the possibility that, should the cancellation occur at a late enough point, such refunds may not be 100% and could in fact be zero.

Events

Event venues are private property and they have the right to refuse entry for any reason.
Service animals are permitted, for pets permission must be sought from the club committee and are only permitted where venues allow.
You must respect the wishes and follow any reasonable instructions of both venue staff, the club's event team, and any security personnel.
You agree to read the safety plans provided by venues in case of fire or other emergencies and to follow the rules implemented by the venue for these scenarios if they occur.
If you are not the holder of a residential booking including accommodation at the event venue, you are not permitted to remain in the event spaces, communal areas, or venue rooms overnight and must leave the venue each day as soon as the last event or dance concludes. Attempting to stay in the venue overnight in contravention of this rule is strictly forbidden. The venue may seek to recover costs in these cases and the club will not be liable for covering these costs.
If you are the holder of a residential booking including accommodation at the venue, you must not permit any non-residential member to stay in your hotel room overnight.
Any instance of the above that is discovered may lead to the removal of both the non-residential person from the event and any other members discovered to be facilitating this action. No refund will be given for ticket or accommodation in these cases, nor any other form of remuneration. At the discretion of committee, such instances may lead to a temporary or permanent ban from the club or future events.
