Any failure to attend a paid event may be subject to the Member Attendance Policy
Member Attendance Policy
A great deal of planning and preparation goes into each and every club event with the Iconic Marques Club management team and Club Ambassadors sacrificing many hours of their time for the benefit of the club and its members. For reasons of practicality and for the benefit of our club members, many club events have attendance limits based on the event type and the number of staff that will be running that particular event.
This frequently results in events being oversubscribed and the creation of an event specific ‘reserve-list’. When a member cancels an event registration, the first person from the reserve list is automatically ‘bumped’ up to the attendee list (on a first come, first served basis). Previously, there have been a small number of instances where a club member has failed to attend an event they have registered for (no-show), with little or no notice given. Furthermore, many of these events were oversubscribed, therefore had sufficient notice been given, another member could have taken this spare place. Due to the increasing number of club events that Iconic Marques Club are now running each season, it has become necessary for the club to introduce a temporary account freeze for any club member who fails to notify of their absence within an acceptable time period. Any member with a frozen account will be unable to register for any subsequent events until such time as the freeze is lifted. Should the club feel it necessary to impose an account freeze, the member in question will be contacted in advance and be given the opportunity to dispute (where appropriate). The length of any account freeze shall be kept within reason, but may be extended for repeat offenders. The club reserves the right to review each instance of the above on a case-by-case basis
Force Majeure
The Club cannot accept liability or refund monies if the Club Event has to be amended or cancelled due to any circumstances outside our control or that we could not foresee or avoid. Such as (but not limited to) war, threat of war, riot or civil unrest, disease, terrorist activity, industrial disputes, natural disasters, adverse weather conditions, ferry delays or traffic delays. Neither can we be held responsible if certain attractions change their opening times or are closed.
Changes/Cancellations
We reserve the right to change the Event itinerary and route at any time without notice.
Indemnify
You will indemnify the organiser, its directors, officers, employees and consultants against any and all claims, lawsuits and causes of action whatsoever or howsoever arising and brought against them by any third party as a result of your action or participation in the event, including without limitation, your violation of any laws or regulations or your breach of these Terms and Conditions.
Code of Conduct
All participants must conduct themselves responsibly and in an appropriate manner at all times. You must not consume alcohol whilst driving, driving whilst under the influence of alcohol (or any other intoxicating substance) or drive if your ability to do so safely is compromised by illness, lack of adequate rest, or any other condition. Any illegal behaviour will result in the cancellation of your participation without refund. Furthermore, any careless or reckless driving will result in your expulsion from the remainder of the tour without refund. Club Membership may also be terminated. It is strictly forbidden to create discussions on politics, sex, sexual preference, sexist or racist subjects in any of the Club group chats or groups. We withhold the right to terminate your Club Membership due to actions by a Club Member deemed unacceptable, offensive or outside the spirit of The Club.
