1. About these terms
These terms of use ("Terms") apply to your use of our website at [theborderbarn.co.uk] (the "Website"). The Website is operated by The Border Barn Limited ("we", "us", "our"), registered at Academy House , Shedden Park Road, Kelso, Roxburghshire, TD5 7AL.
By using the Website you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Website.
These Terms cover use of the Website only. They do not form a booking contract. Any booking of our venue is governed by a separate booking agreement and booking terms and conditions, which we will provide to you.
2. Using the Website
You may use the Website for lawful purposes, to find out about our venue and to contact us. You agree that you will not:
-
use the Website in any way that is unlawful, fraudulent or harmful;
-
submit false, misleading or abusive information through our contact form or by email;
-
attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Website, our servers or any connected systems;
-
introduce viruses or other malicious or harmful material;
-
copy, scrape or harvest content or contact details from the Website by automated means; or
-
use the Website to send unsolicited marketing or spam.
We may suspend or restrict access to the Website at any time, for example for maintenance or if we believe these Terms have been breached.
3. Enquiries and Bookings
Sending an enquiry through the Website, or by email or telephone, does not create a booking and does not reserve a date. A date is only secured when we have confirmed it to you in writing and any booking agreement has been agreed in accordance with its terms.
When you contact us, please provide accurate details. Your name and email address are needed so that we can reply, and a telephone number is optional.
4. Information on the Website
We take reasonable care to keep the Website accurate and up to date, but we do not guarantee that it is complete or error-free. In particular:
-
Availability and pricing shown or described on the Website are indicative only and may change. Please contact us to confirm current availability and prices.
-
Photographs, videos and descriptions are intended to give a general impression of the venue and its surroundings. Layouts, décor, capacities and facilities may vary from those shown.
-
Information about suppliers, services or local attractions is provided for convenience and does not amount to a recommendation or guarantee.
5. Intellectual property
All content on the Website, including text, photographs, video, logos, branding, design and layout, is owned by us or used with permission of its owner, and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws.
You may view the Website and print or download extracts for your own personal, non-commercial use, for example to plan an event with us. You must not copy, reproduce, republish, distribute or otherwise use any content for any other purpose without our prior written permission.
If you send us photographs, ideas or other material, you confirm that you have the right to share it and that we may use it to deal with your enquiry or booking.
6. Links to other websites
The Website may contain links to third-party websites, including social media pages and supplier sites. We do not control these sites and are not responsible for their content or privacy practices. A link does not mean that we endorse the site or its owner.
If you would like to link to our Website, please link to the home page and do so in a way that is fair, legal and does not suggest any endorsement by us without our agreement.
7. Privacy and cookies
We handle personal information in accordance with our Privacy Policy, which explains what we collect (your name, email address and, if you choose to provide it, your telephone number), why we collect it, how long we keep it and your rights. Please read it alongside these Terms.
The Website uses only strictly necessary cookies.
8. Our responsibility to you
Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded. If you are a consumer, these Terms do not affect your statutory rights.
Subject to that, the Website is provided "as is". We do not guarantee that it will be uninterrupted, secure or free from errors or viruses, and we are not responsible for any loss or damage arising from your use of, or inability to use, the Website, or from reliance on its content, except where we are legally responsible. You are responsible for ensuring that your own device and software are protected.
Our liability in relation to a booking is set out in the booking agreement and not in these Terms.
9. Changes to the Website and these Terms
We may update the Website and these Terms from time to time. The latest version will always be published on this page with the "last updated" date at the top. Your continued use of the Website after a change means you accept the updated Terms.
10. General
If any part of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the rest will remain in effect. If we do not enforce a right straight away, this does not mean we have given it up.
These Terms and any dispute arising from them or your use of the Website are governed by the laws of Scotland and are subject to the jurisdiction of the Scottish courts. If you are a consumer, you may also have the right to bring proceedings in the courts of the part of the UK where you live.
