Indemnify???

adpod

Hello,

I posted before regarding an event which did not go as advertised. The promoter agree the event was poor but didn't offer any refund.

I contacted the venue (who was also the box office) and they tried to wash their hands off it saying its got nothing to do with them as they just take the money.

I told them that is similar to paypal yet they have a duty to sort out disputes and refund wronged parties.

SO I sent off a letter before action to the box office and got a letter back saying in the T-C's there is a part which indemnify the box office from any charges and that if I went to court they would counter claim for all legal fees.....

Any help?

Have you got a copy of the T&C's the box office in question 'abide by' - they may actually be 'unfair' terms and conditions but without seeing them it's hard to comment. Nevertheless they cannot put on 'rubbish' shows and expect customers to put up with them and try hiding behind T&Cs. I fail to see, however, that fair T&Cs would, by the nature of them being fair, indemnify a company or organisation against action being taken against them.

I assume you still have the evidence of the timings of the event and how they differed to those advertised?

Thing is, if it came to court then it would be up to the court to decide. Your case would be stronger if others complain and/or with evidence that what you saw was not what was advertised.

Was this the Billy Connolly show that was rubbish and finished early? (I vaguely remember the thread).
