VENUE TERMS & CONDITIONS
Terms governing venue participation, introductions and commission through Match My Venue
1. Purpose & Scope
These Venue Terms & Conditions apply to all venues working with Events Networking Limited, trading as Match My Venue, Match My Venue Limited, and The Events Consultant Limited (“Match My Venue”, “we”, “us”).
By listing with or accepting business through Match My Venue, venues agree to these terms.
2. Our Role & Legal Position
Match My Venue acts as an introducer, advisor, and venue sourcing agency.
We do not operate venues, do not enter venue contracts, and are not a party to agreements between venues and clients.
All booking contracts, invoices, payment obligations, and delivery responsibilities exist solely between the venue and the client.
3. Commission Entitlement
Match My Venue earns a flat 10% commission on confirmed bookings introduced through our services.
Commission applies to all revenue booked through the venue relating to the event, including (where applicable):
Room hire
Catering
Accommodation
Event services
Venues must provide Match My Venue with a copy of the final client invoice within seven (7) days of the event taking place.
Following receipt of the final invoice, Match My Venue will issue a commission invoice, which must be paid within fourteen (14) days of the invoice date.
Commission is payable irrespective of whether the venue has received payment from the client.
Non-payment by a client remains the venue’s responsibility and commercial risk, and Match My Venue will not be liable for unpaid venue invoices.
Match My Venue reserves the right to request reasonable evidence to verify event invoice values where required to confirm accurate commission calculation.
Late commission payments may incur statutory interest under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998, and Match My Venue reserves the right to recover reasonable enforcement costs
