3. LEGALLY BINDING CONTRACT
Your contract begins once we confirm your order and ends immediately after the completion of the festival for which you have purchased “Product and Services”.
A booking is considered made with us upon your payment (either in full or the first payment plan installment). By making a booking with us, the lead booker agrees that:
He/she has read and has the authority to be bound by these Booking Conditions.
A booking fee applies to all “Product and Services” advertised and sold on our website.
He/she consents to our use of personal data in accordance with our Privacy Policy and is authorized to disclose personal details of all individuals on the booking, including special categories of data (e.g., health conditions, disabilities, dietary requirements) where applicable.
He/she accepts financial responsibility for payment of the booking in its entirety.
He/she consents to the use of his/her likeness in any film, photography, audio, and/or audiovisual recording without compensation, to be exploited in any media for any purpose worldwide. This includes filming by the police or security staff for customer security or crime prevention. An objection to such use must be made in writing to support@afronation.com. Valid credit or debit card issued in the lead booker's name is required.
We reserve the right to make changes to the booking conditions, and any updates will be posted on our website. We recommend checking them regularly to stay informed about the current terms.
All purchases are subject to the applicable version of these Booking Conditions published at the time of purchase. If you do not agree with any revised version of these Booking Conditions, or cannot comply with it, you agree not to purchase them.
4. PRODUCT AND SERVICES
We offer various types of tickets, which will be clearly defined at the time of purchase through Afro Nation. Additionally, addons and hospitality tables may be sold at separate and additional prices.
By making a purchase, you agree that all “Product and Services” are non-refundable and non-exchangeable.
Special Note: We do not sell packages, travel, or flights; therefore, no refunds will be granted for issues related to the performance or booking of flights and other travel arrangements associated with attending our festival.
5. CHARGEBACKS
Unless such rights have arisen under section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974, you agree not to issue any chargebacks or otherwise dispute transactions with your payment card issuer against us (“Chargeback”).
Your rights to refunds and other claims shall be governed solely by the terms of these Booking Conditions.
If you initiate a Chargeback or make a demand for payment, we are entitled to take reasonable steps to ensure you are not paid twice for the same claim. This may include suspending any obligations we may have to pay you under these Booking Conditions (or otherwise) until the Chargeback or claim is finally determined, and the time limit for any challenge or appeal has expired.
If you have defaulted on a payment plan or cancelled your booking with us [as detailed in clause 12], you will not be entitled to chargeback your credit or debit card and we will use this clause as evidence to defend any chargeback attempts.
6. FESTIVAL TIMINGS AND ADMISSIONS
Advertised festival start times are subject to change. Door opening and closing times do not indicate the festival's start or end time (or when an artist is scheduled to play or the length of the artist's performance), all of which remain at our and/or the artist's discretion and may be subject to change.
In the event that you are refused entry into our festival due to missing the designated entry deadline, Afro Nation Detroit shall not be held liable for issuing a refund or compensation. We strongly advise all customers to plan their trip in advance and adhere to the specified entry times.
We reserve the right to alter the artist lineup and/or the festival's program without obligation to refund or exchange tickets. Such changes will be deemed minor/immaterial changes.
Security searches may be conducted on patrons, and admission may be refused to individuals breaching or suspected of breaching these Booking Conditions.
Trading or promotional activities within the site require our prior written consent. Goods using unauthorized logos must be surrendered to festival staff.
Admission to the festival is subject to the terms of admission of the relevant venue. Certain items (e.g., laser pens, mobile phones, dogs - except guide dogs - and patrons' own food and drink) may be prohibited. Unauthorized use of photographic and/or recording equipment is also prohibited, and such material may be destroyed or deleted. The use of drones or similar equipment near the festival venue is strictly prohibited.
Patrons must not enter the site if they believe they may have been infected with Covid-19 or are displaying symptoms of Covid-19.
We or the venue reserve the right to refuse admission or remove any person from the venue for reasons of public safety, unacceptable behavior likely to cause damage, nuisance, or injury, or for any breach of Booking Conditions. No reimbursement or refund will be provided in such cases.
Unless expressly authorized, pass-outs or re-admissions of any kind are not allowed.
By attending our festival, you agree to be photographed, filmed, and/or recorded for safety and security purposes, including filming by the police. Resulting photographs, videos, audio recordings, and/or audio-visual recordings may be used in any media worldwide.
Prolonged exposure to loud music or noise may damage hearing, so adequate ear protection is advised. Special effects, including sound, audio-visual, pyrotechnic, or lighting effects, may not be suitable for individuals with photosensitive epilepsy or similar conditions.
Ticket holders should anticipate queues at the entry gate and arrive in time for the first act they
wish to see; no refunds will be provided for missed acts.
7. EVENTS BEYOND OUR CONTROL
We will not be liable or provide compensation for our contractual obligations affected by Events Beyond Our Control, which are events beyond our or our supplier's control, and the consequences of which could not have been avoided even with reasonable measures. Examples include, but are not limited to, warfare, acts of terrorism or threat thereof, civil strife, significant risks to human safety and health (e.g., serious disease outbreaks, epidemics, pandemics, including the ongoing effects of Covid-19), natural disasters (e.g., floods, earthquakes, or weather conditions making travel unsafe), acts of any government or authority, industrial disputes, labor strikes, lock closure, natural or nuclear disasters, fire, chemical or biological disasters, unavoidable technical problems with transport, and all similar events beyond our or the supplier(s) concerned's control.
In the event that the festival is called off early due to circumstances beyond our control, we hereby assert that we shall not be held liable for any losses, damages, or compensation arising from such situations.
It is your responsibility to ensure you can enter the country where the festival is held. If you purchase a ticket and are denied entry into the United States due to restrictions imposed by the country's officials, this is considered an event beyond our control, and no refund will be granted.
Special Note: No refund or exchange of tickets will be issued if elements outside of our control affect your ability to attend the festival, including but not limited to travel restrictions from your country of origin or where the festival is held in the United States, quarantine, and vaccination requirements, etc.
