THE CONTRACT – BOOKING

The Agreement is made between the French Branch of Ryder Cup 2018 Commercial Limited (TVA number FR 55 824 814 941) of Multiburo Trocadero, 14 avenue d’Eylau, 75016, Paris with worldwide (excluding USA) Professional Indemnity insurance of £5 million (underwritten by Nexus) (“RC18CL”) and the Client on the terms and conditions set out herein.
2. A Booking shall be made and a binding contract will be formed on the terms set out in this Agreement upon submission by the Client and receipt by RC18CL of a completed Booking Form as follows:

Within a maximum of four (4) business days from receipt of his/her request, RC18CL will send that Client by email a quote in the form of the Booking Form, which shall incorporate the Package Price (the “Quote”). Such Booking Form will also incorporate these Hospitality Terms and Conditions, and links to the Ticket Terms and Conditions and the Ground Regulations.

The validity period of a Quote is 48 hours from the time of its transmission by email. After this period, RC18CL reserves its right to update the content of the Package and the Package Price.

The Quote will be issued free of any charges or fees.

Having had the opportunity to review these Hospitality Terms and Conditions, the Ticket Terms and Conditions and the Ground Regulations, the Client must confirm the Booking by way of completing, signing and returning the Booking Form in accordance with the directions set out on the Booking Form.

However, RC18CL shall be entitled to assess such change and may send to the Client a new Quote by way of a new Booking Form, which shall also be subject to the provisions of this clause 1(b)(i).

In the event that RC18CL does not issue any such new Quote, the Client shall be entitled to choose between accepting the initial Quote or refusing it. For the avoidance of doubt, this clause, which provides for changes being made to the Booking Form prior to it being returned to RC18CL, does not affect clause 3(g) below and the process whereby a Client wishes to amend a Booking subsequent to the Agreement having been formed.

2. In all other cases, the Client cannot elect to return, exchange or alter any Booking or any Package which has been sold without RC18CL’s written consent (to be given or withheld in RC18CL’s sole discretion).

CANCELLATION OR CURTAILMENT BY RC18CL
1. RC18CL shall not be liable to refund any fees of any nature to the Client or costs incurred by the Client or otherwise be liable for any loss, damage or expense caused by cancellation, curtailment or change of schedule of the Event because of any unforeseeable and insurmountable act of a third party or event of force majeure as defined under Article 1218 of the French Civil Code or recognised by French courts.
2. Accordingly, the Client acknowledges that it has been advised to obtain its own insurance to cover its losses in the case of events referred to in the above paragraph (such as accommodation and travel).

The Client also acknowledges that it has either taken such insurance or it has, having been given advice, chosen not to do so.

7. All other requests for refund from the Client must be received by RC18CL at the latest one year after the end of the Event.

2. These minor modifications to the Packages shall apply immediately to new Bookings of Packages as well as to Packages already bought by the Client.

9. Packages and Tickets therein shall not be resold or transferred save as set out herein or as shall be set out in the Ticket Terms and Conditions, and shall not be purchased or obtained from or through any commercial agent or company or otherwise than directly from RC18CL. If more than one Package or Ticket is issued to a Client, those Packages or Tickets may be used only as allocated in accordance with clause 8(b) above. The provision of such Packages and/or Tickets by a Client to Guests without payment shall not contravene these Hospitality Terms and Conditions.

PERSONAL DATA

RC18CL respects the privacy of the Client and its Guests and strictly complies with the French laws in force on the protection of privacy and civil liberties. Thus, RC18CL does not collect any information relating to the Client and its Guests without their knowledge and without their consent.

Clients’ and Guests’ personal data is collected and used by RC18CL as the controller of the data being processed. Personal data may also be transferred (subject to non-disclosure obligations) to companies which contribute to the processing of Bookings made by the Client as well as to service providers in charge of the management of the Official 2018 Ryder Cup Website.

Personal data will also be used for the processing of Bookings, monitoring the commercial relationship between the Client and its Guests and RC18CL as well as for the purposes of feedback, commercial statistics, prospecting (marketing), assignment, licence or exchange of the Client’s and its Guests’ personal data, management of requests for access, rectification and opposition. Such data will not be transferred to third parties for advertising or marketing purposes without the Client’s and its Guests' consent. Likewise, RC18CL will not sell nor license any personal data collected from a Client or Guest without his/her express prior consent.

With the express prior consent of the Client and its Guests, information about them may be communicated to members of the RCE Group and the use of such data shall be governed by the PGA European Tour privacy policy at: //www.europeantour.com/aboutus/privacy/index.html. In the event of any inconsistency between the PGA European Tour privacy policy and these Conditions, these Hospitality Terms and Conditions shall prevail.

Depending on the choices made at the time of Booking, RC18CL may be entitled to pass on Client and Guest data to Event sponsors and partner companies as indicated in the order process, and accordingly such Clients and Guests may receive offers from those Event sponsors and partner companies.

Pursuant to the provisions of French law No.78-17 of January 6, 1978 (modified), each person whose personal data is collected has a right of opposition, of access, or correction and of deletion of his/her data. He/she may exercise this right at any time by writing to RC18CL’s customer service by email (rydercuphospitality@europeantour.com) or by mail (Ryder Cup 2018 Commercial Limited, Multiburo Trocadero, 14 avenue d’Eylau, 75016, Paris, France). He/she will have to prove his/her identity by attaching to his/her request a copy of his/her ID and to indicate in his/her email or mail his/her first name and last name and any relevant booking or account reference.

The data identified by an asterisk on the order form is necessary for the processing of the Client’s Booking, the performance of associated services and the monitoring of commercial relationships. In the absence of such data, RC18CL will not be able to process the Client’s Booking. Other data requested is intended to improve the Client’s experience and is therefore optional and the Client is free not to provide it.

The data collected is kept in a secure location accessible only by authorised employees. Any electronic backup procedures for the data collected are also compliant with French laws relating to personal data.

Personal data collected from the Client and its Guests is kept for the necessary time and as long as they have not asked for its destruction by RC18CL. In any event, personal data is not kept for more than 3 years from the end of the Event.

The Client certifies that it has: (i) informed all the natural persons whose personal data is collected, of the collection of their data, the purposes of the processing, the recipients of such data and their right of opposition; and (ii) obtained from them their express consent to communicate their data to RC18CL and allow its use according to the choices expressed by the Client on the Booking Form.

ETIQUETTE

If RC18CL considers that any person within the Client’s party behaves in a loud, disorderly, unruly, abusive or otherwise unreasonable or antisocial manner, then the Client, immediately after being asked to do so by a representative of RC18CL, shall procure that the relevant Guest(s) shall leave the Venue. RC18CL reserves the right to exclude or eject any person from the Venue if, in its opinion, his/her behaviour is likely to cause distress, damage or annoyance to other people or property. RC18CL shall not compensate any person in any way in respect of such removal or requirement to leave the Venue.

At a minimum, smart casual attire is required in the facilities (as per Ryder Cup 2018 Official Hospitality Programme) provided by RC18CL at any time. RC18CL reserve the right to refuse admission to any person wearing inappropriate items of clothing and/or footwear or to require any such person to leave the Venue.
