Booking, Payment, Refunds and Cancellations of want2race Events

Provisional bookings do not guarantee or howsoever confirm participation in any want2race Event unless or until all want2race Event Fees have been paid in full to want2race. All bookings are web based and want2race does not accept written paper bookings.
A provisional booking will only be confirmed as an actual booking when want2race has received payment in full and as cleared funds from You of the want2race Event Fee in the want2race bank account. VAT invoices are automatically despatched by web service (email) upon receipt of payment as cleared funds and accordingly the accurate completion of invoicing details and the provision of a valid effective email address are Your responsibility.
want2race Events are sold as actual bookings on a first-come-first-served basis. If an Event is full on receipt of your payment, a full refund will be made.
It is possible that a want2race Event may be cancelled for reasons beyond the control of want2race. If that occurs then regardless of when or how that occurs You agree that want2race cannot be held liable for any loss or expense incurred by You. If such a cancellation occurs then want2race will if possible compensate You in the form of an alternative want2race Event subject to these General Terms and Conditions or issue a credit note valid for 12 months from the date of issue. Alternatively, you may request a refund subject to deduction of a 15% administration charge.
Bookings cancelled by You more than 28 calendar days before the date of the want2race Event will be entitled to a credit note valid for 12 months from the date of issue or you may request a refund of the want2race Event Fees paid minus a 15% administration charge.
Bookings cancelled by You 28 calendar days or less before the date of the want2race Event will only be entitled to a credit or refund if the Event is full and a replacement booking is taken. Any credit note issued will valid for 12 months from the date of issue. If you request a refund instead of accepting a credit note, the refund will be made less a 15% administration charge.
Actual Bookings are not transferrable between want2race Events. In the event whereby credit notes are issued as an alternative to a refund, these credit notes expire after 12 months. Once a credit note has been issued it cannot be refunded.

Pricing

Prices of want2race Event Fees may vary up until the time a Booking is made and cleared funds received.

Driver must when driving remove any facial jewellery [eg ear rings, nose-rings] on grounds of safety. No hand held cameras (or camera phones) are permitted. Any on board cameras must be securely mounted using appropriate equipment.

You confirm that the car provided by You and driven at the event will at all times comply with the noise limits applicable to the Event as published by want2race. The suitability and safety of any vehicle provided by You is entirely a matter for You but want2race reserves the right to terminate the participation in a want2race Event if it is considered that the vehicle You present is at any time unsuitable and in such cases the decision of want2race is final and no refund will be given to You in respect of any vehicle rejected by want2race. Where a booking is made involving a single driver, any number of vehicles can be used on-track at no additional cost. Bookings involving multiple drivers are limited to one vehicle only. It is not permitted to swap stickers between vehicles.
You will pay to want2race forthwith on demand and as a debt the full cost of all and any damage occasioned by Driver to any vehicle (including all and any components of it) provided to You by want2race at an want2race Event except where any provable manifest failure of the vehicle occurs and which directly causes the damage arising.

Refer to paragraph 23 below.

If a vehicle provided by want2race breaks down and cannot be repaired or substituted for that want2race Event then want2race will provide You with a credit for use at an alternative subsequent want2race Event. The value of the credit will be proportional to the amount of the want2race Event that has elapsed at the point of such breakdown. No refunds will be paid.

Refunds will only be made by want2race in circumstances where (1) want2race has supplied or has caused the supply of goods to You otherwise than in conformity with the order placed by You and (2) provided that you return the goods within 7 days of the date of delivery to You at your cost to want2race or as directed by want2race and that on return the goods are in unused and as new condition.

You agree that these terms and conditions are reasonable. These terms and conditions are governed exclusively by English law and the English Courts. You agree that want2race is not and cannot be held liable for any event occurring outside its reasonable control.

Third Party Bookings

If You book a third party event (track day or test day or race meeting not organised by want2race) via the want2race website the above terms and conditions apply.
want2race have no operational control over third party events and any operational concerns should be communicated to the event organiser. want2race do not extend the no queues guarantee to third party events.

Track Car Hire

When you hire one of our cars you get exclusive use of the car all day (i.e. you will not be sharing it with anybody else). You are guaranteed use of the car for at least 20 minutes out of each hour the circuit is open. Depending on weather, track conditions and driving standards, time in the car is often unrestricted.
Accidents: In the event of an accident the excess liability is always with the driver and not the purchaser - all drivers must sign an agreement to this effect. This excess is paid in advance in the form of a credit card authorisation, which will then be destroyed at the end of an incident free day. Please see point 24 above.
Instruction: A session of instruction per driver is included in the price. You must add the instruction at the time of booking to ensure availability. We also reserve the right to enforce further chargeable tuition should the standard of driving or level of experience necessitate so.
Breakdowns: In the event of any incident that effectively makes THE CAR unusable, NO refund will be given. Please refer to point 31 above regarding mechanical breakdowns due to no driver / hirer error. Where fault is disputed in this instance, the opinion of an agreed independent assessor will be taken as final as to where the fault lies.
Engine Damage: All cars are fitted with a tell-tale instrument to measure peak engine revs. If the engine revs exceed 7000rpm a charge is incurred of £100 per 100rpm up to a maximum of the excess stated above. Please note that under normal driving it is not possible to over-rev the car (e.g. you cannot "drive through" the rev limiter). However, it is possible to change into the wrong gear and hence over-rev the engine through using momentum of the car.
Gravel Trap Damage: Please refer to point 30 above.
Age Restrictions: All drivers must be 17 or over with a full road licence. Please refer to point 24 above for excess conditions. Unfortunately, we do not allow junior drivers (regardless of race licences held) in our rental cars.
Physical Restrictions: There are no physical restrictions for driving our Caterham’s or Ginetta’s. However, drivers over 6'2" tall or over 16 stone may struggle to drive a standard car as cockpit space is limited. Conversely, drivers under 5'8" are unlikely to be able to drive the larger Caterham 'SV' models as the pedalbox is significantly longer.
want2race reserve the right to refuse access to the cars to any person not deemed safe to drive, or behaving in a competitive or aggressive manner. Additionally, we reserve the right to downgrade your booking to a car of lower-performance if we feel your level of experience is not suitable for the car you have booked. In this instance a pro-rata refund will be issued which reflects the difference in prices paid.
