Do not use the Togather Platform or accept direct introductions unless you wish to be bound by the Terms, Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.

Definitions

  1. Where we refer to “you”or the “Partner” in these Terms, we mean you, any company you work for and any person or entity that accesses or uses the Togather Platform or does work for a Client on your behalf.
  2. The term “we”means Karamu Limited, the owner and operator of the Togather Platform, (also referred to in these Terms as“we”,“us”,“our”or “Togather”) whose registered office is at 6 Orsman Road, London, N1 5RA and whose company registration number is 10186089.
  3. These Terms make use of the following definitions:
    1. “Client”means the person or entity which wishes to engage you to provide your services and is referred to you by us.
    2. “Commission”means the sum which we take as a commission payment for the referral of a Client.
    3. An “Event”means the event for which the Client wishes to book event services.
    4. The “Togather Platform”consists of the Website and the content and services we make available through them.
    5. The Togather Platform is designed to enable Clients to submit to us requests for event services (“Requests for Services”) and to receive responses from suitable Partners who are able to provide those services.Such services include but are not limited to food & drink catering, photography, videography, floristry and general amenities.

The booking process

  1. The Togather Platform acts as a marketplace where Clients who are seeking event services can receive quotes for their Events from suitable Partners.
  2. You will be informed by the Togather Platform of Requests for Services which we believe may be suitable for you, and give you the opportunity to quote for providing those services.
  3. We are not obligated to send you any Requests for Services and you are not obligated to provide quotes for any services requested. However, we do ask all our Partners to respond to us promptly on receipt of a Request for Services (preferably within 24 hours, and no later than 48 hours from receiving the Request for Services) confirming whether you wish to quote or decline the opportunity. This enables us to offer the work to an alternative Partner if you decline to quote, and ensures that we are able to meet our customer service aims.
  4. Part of your quote will be to provide the Client with a fixed fee for the event services they have requested (the “Booking Fee”). If at any time you agree any change to the Services Fee with the Client, you must inform us as soon as possible. We will automatically add our Commission to the amount of your Services Fee, and the fee which is shown to the Client will be the sum of your Services Fee plus our Commission (and booking fees) (the “Total Fee”).
  5. Where applicable (e.g. if you are a VAT registered entity), your fee quote or quote per head must include VAT, and you must ensure that your account details are reflective of your VAT status. Any quotes submitted must be gross of VAT where applicable.
  6. All fees to be paid by the Client will be taken by Togather before the date at which the event occurs. We will hold your Services Fee until the Event has taken place and deliver your Services Fee to you within the following 1-2 business days. You agree that we are entitled to deduct our Commission from the Total Fee received from the Client before sending you the balance, being your Services Fee.
  7. You agree to the following cancellation policy which will apply. In such a case, we will refund to the Client the relevant amount of the Booking Fee on your behalf, depending on how close to the date of the Event the cancellation is made, as follows:
    1. (a) If a Client cancels a Booking more than 45 days before the Event Date, you agree to us providing a refund of 90% of the booking fee and retaining the deposit.
    2. (b) If a Client cancels a Booking between 45 days and 29 days before the Event Date, you agree to us providing a refund of 75% of the booking fee, and you will receive 15% of this fee.
    3. (c) If a Client cancels a Booking between 28 days and 8 days before the Event Date, you agree to us providing a refund of 50% of the booking fee, and you will receive 40% of this fee.
    4. (d) If a Client cancels a Booking between 7 days and 48 hours before the Event Date, you agree to us providing a refund of 25% of the booking fee, and you will receive 65% of this fee.
    5. (e) If a Client cancels a Booking less than 48 hours before the Event Date, you will receive 100% of your services fee and no refund will be made to the Client.
  8. In the event of a cancellation in accordance with the above policy, we will send you the balance of the Services Fee (less the relevant refund) within 7 days of the cancellation being made.
  9. On extremely rare occasions, a booking may be cancelled due to a “Force Majeure Event”. A Force Majeure Event is a cancellation for reasons beyond either party's reasonable control including (but not limited to); extreme weather conditions, government actions, war, terrorism, riots, strikes, epidemics or pandemics, and acts of God. Where a Force Majeure Event has taken place, the cancellation policy above no longer applies and we will not be liable for your service fee and the cancellation terms are null and void. Subject to the other provisions of this clause, neither party shall be in breach of this agreement nor liable for failure to deliver services or for a delay in services for its obligations under this agreement if and to the extent that such delay or non-delivery is due to a Force Majeure Event.
  10. Please note that for cancellations related to COVID-19, our cancellations policy set out above in clause 7.2 applies and COVID-19 is not classed as a Force Majeure event.
  11. The Service Fee will be calculated as a proportion of the total fees paid for by the Client and collected by Togather at the cancellation date, reflecting amounts paid so far.
  12. If a Client wishes to make a change to a booking, we will inform you of the change requested. If the change is significant, we may consider it a cancellation of the original booking and the above cancellation policies will then apply. Each case will be judged on its own merits at our discretion.
  13. In the event you are unable to provide the event services which have been agreed in the booking, you must inform us as soon as possible. We will refund the Client the entire amount of your Services Fee and you may be liable for any additional claims which the Client may bring as a result
  14. You should not receive any payments from Clients except through the Togather Platform. If you receive any payments direct from a Client (other than a tip), you should inform us as soon as possible, and you will be required to pay our Commission on any such payment received.
