Terms and Conditions
Last Updated: 19 Nov 2024
Welcome to Highland Celebrant. By accessing this website and using our services, you agree to comply with the following terms and conditions. Please read them carefully.
1. Services Provided
Highland Celebrant offers bespoke ceremonies, including weddings, vow renewals, baby naming, funerals, and memorials. Services are tailored to your requirements and conducted in accordance with Independent Humanist Ceremonies’ principles.
2. Booking and Payment
A non-refundable deposit is required to secure your ceremony date.
The remaining balance must be paid at least two weeks before the ceremony date.
Additional costs, such as travel (£0.50 per mile beyond Inverness), accommodation, or rehearsals, will be agreed upon in advance and included in your final invoice.
3. Cancellations and Refunds
Deposits are non-refundable.
For cancellations made by the client less than 14 days before the ceremony, no refunds will be issued for payments already made.
In the unlikely event that Highland Celebrant cannot fulfil a booking due to unforeseen circumstances, every effort will be made to find a suitable replacement celebrant. A full refund will be provided if this is not possible.
4. Client Responsibilities
For legally binding ceremonies, clients are responsible for submitting the required legal documentation (e.g., M10 forms and Wedding Schedule for weddings) to the Registrar within the specified timeframe.
Clients must ensure that all information provided for the ceremony is accurate and complete.
5. Ceremonial Content
All ceremonies are bespoke and created in consultation with the client.
Draft scripts will be provided for client approval. Final scripts must be agreed upon prior to the ceremony date.
Symbolic elements (e.g., handfasting, unity candles) or other additions requested by the client must be discussed and confirmed in advance.
6. Use of Personal Data
Highland Celebrant processes personal data in line with the Privacy and Cookies Policy, which is available on this website. By using our services, you consent to the use of your data as outlined in that policy.
7. Limitation of Liability
Highland Celebrant is not liable for:
Delays or cancellations caused by circumstances beyond our control (e.g., extreme weather or venue issues).
Errors resulting from inaccurate information provided by the client.
Any issues arising from the failure to meet legal requirements (e.g., late submission of legal documents).
8. Governing Law
These Terms and Conditions are governed by the laws of Scotland. Any disputes will be subject to the jurisdiction of Scottish courts.
9. Changes to Terms and Conditions
Highland Celebrant reserves the right to update these terms and conditions at any time. Please review this page periodically for the latest version.
