Terms & Conditions

TERMS AND AGREEMENT

The rules set out herein form the terms of this agreement;

The website www.speyriverfarm.com, and all offerings made herein or through any outlet of the website, are provided on an “as is” basis, in the private;

For the purposes of this agreement, the land and property known variously as “Uvie Farm”, “Ovie” and “Spey River Farm”, at Newtonmore, shall herein be referred to as “the property”; use of any one of these names refers to the same land and property;

We of mankind offer our time, property and the use of property; that which is offered through this website or any outlet of the website remains the property of its respective owner and/or of the man or woman who created it, unless expressly agreed otherwise;

All who use that which is offered through this website or any other outlet of the website do so as a man or woman only and take responsibility for their own use thereof;

All who donate and/or give compensation for time, property or the use of property through this website or any other outlet of the website do so as a man or woman in the private;

Unless expressly agreed otherwise, all donations and/or compensation are given before time, property or the use of property will be shared or provided;

Each man or woman takes responsibility for themselves and agrees to treat others of mankind and their property with respect;

ACCEPTANCE AND COMMENCEMENT

These terms are made available before an agreement is completed and form part of the agreement upon acceptance;

Acceptance occurs when a man or woman, having been given or provided access to these terms, becomes a member, proceeds with a booking, gives compensation, places an order, confirms acceptance in writing, enters upon the property pursuant to an agreed appointment, or otherwise proceeds with an offering to which these terms apply;

Where a booking or order is arranged through a man or woman acting as an “agent”, acceptance may be communicated through that man or woman in accordance with the terms herein;

This agreement commences upon acceptance and applies to the booking, appointment, visit, order, offering, property or other matter for which agreement has been made;

Where compensation is required to secure a booking or order, acceptance of these terms does not of itself reserve a date, time or item; reservation occurs only in accordance with the applicable terms herein;

Any particular term expressly agreed by us in writing for an individual booking, order or offering shall apply to that particular matter together with these terms;

PAYMENT AND SETTLEMENT

Compensation may be accepted by the methods made available by us at the time of agreement, including cash and Bitcoin;

Where compensation is given in Bitcoin or another digital currency accepted by us, the amount due is determined by the agreed value in pounds sterling (GBP) at the time payment is requested;

Each man or woman making a digital transfer is responsible for using the correct currency, network, wallet address and payment details provided by us;

We shall not be responsible for property sent to an incorrect address, over an incorrect or unsupported network, or otherwise sent contrary to the payment details provided;

Any network or transaction fees incurred in making a digital transfer are the responsibility of the man or woman making that transfer;

Where compensation has been given in Bitcoin or another digital currency and a refund is due under this agreement, the refund will be calculated according to the original GBP value being refunded; the equivalent amount of the digital currency used for payment will be returned according to the market rate applicable at the time the refund is processed;

We are not responsible for any gain or loss resulting from changes in the value or exchange rate of Bitcoin or another digital currency between the time compensation is given and the time any refund is processed;

BOOKINGS AND VISITS

BOOKING CONFIRMATION

A booking is confirmed once either the required non-refundable deposit has been received or the booking has been paid in full;

Bookings are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis; an agreed date and time are secured only upon receipt of the required compensation;

Where a deposit is agreed, if the remaining balance is not received at least 14 working days before the booking date, we reserve the right to release the booking and make the date and time available to another man or woman;

Until the required deposit or full compensation has been received, any requested date and time remain available to others;

For larger bookings of a minimum of ten men and/or women arranged through a man or woman acting as an “agent”, a non-refundable deposit is required, with the remaining balance due 30 standard working days before arrival;

CANCELLATIONS AND REFUNDS

Unless otherwise expressly agreed for a particular offering, the following cancellation terms apply;

Where cancellation is made 15 days or fewer before the booking date, including on the booking date, no refund will be given;

Where cancellation is made between 16 and 30 days before the booking date, 50% of the compensation given will be refunded;

Where cancellation is made 31 days or more before the booking date, 95% of the compensation given will be refunded;

For the avoidance of doubt, no cancellation will result in a refund exceeding 95% of the compensation given;

The applicable refund is determined by the number of days between the date on which notice of cancellation is received by us and the agreed booking date;

Where a refund is due following compensation given in Bitcoin or another digital currency, the Payment and Settlement terms of this agreement apply;

ARRANGEMENTS THROUGH ANOTHER MAN OR WOMAN

Where a booking is made through a man or woman acting as an “agent”, that man or woman is deemed to act on behalf of the man or woman for whom the booking is being made and is responsible for ensuring that the man or woman for whom the booking is being made has received and agreed to these terms before the booking is confirmed;

By proceeding with the booking, both the man or woman acting as an “agent” and the man or woman for whom the booking is made are considered to have accepted the terms applicable to their respective involvement;

The man or woman attending remains the one accepting the agreement and remains bound by all terms governing the booking, visit and use of property, regardless of whether compensation is given directly or through a man or woman acting as an “agent”;

ARRIVAL, ACCESS AND APPOINTMENTS

Each man or woman attending an appointment is responsible for arriving at the property at the agreed date and time and for allowing sufficient time to locate the property and reach the entrance;

Once an appointment has been scheduled, it is the responsibility of the attending man or woman to ensure that the property can be located before the agreed arrival time and to follow the location information provided;

The entrance gates will be closed and locked 15 minutes after the agreed arrival time; where a man or woman has not arrived within that time, access to the property cannot be guaranteed and the appointment may be treated as missed;

A late or missed arrival arising from failure to arrive within the agreed arrival period does not oblige us to delay, extend, rearrange or repeat the offering, nor does it of itself give rise to a refund or other compensation;

We shall not be responsible for lateness, a missed appointment or any resulting loss arising from failure to locate the property, failure to allow sufficient travelling time, or failure to follow the location information provided;

THE PROPERTY, VISITS AND RESPONSIBILITY

By entering onto the property by appointment, each man or woman acknowledges and accepts the presence of free-roaming animals, including but not limited to Highland cows and goats, and willingly accepts the risks associated with being in their presence and upon rural land;

Each man or woman attending an appointment is responsible for their own circumstances and for their own application of any guidance they may receive while in attendance;

Each man or woman agrees not to attempt to make those who host, or any others of mankind who may be in attendance, responsible for circumstances arising from their own actions, choices or application of guidance;

By visiting the property, each man or woman accepts responsibility for loss or damage to the property caused by them and agrees to meet the reasonable cost of repairing or replacing that which has been damaged without unnecessary delay;

We reserve the right to terminate an offering or appointment, or to withdraw or remove access to the property, where reasonably necessary, including where these terms are not observed, property is placed at risk, or the conduct of a man or woman materially interferes with the offering or with others in attendance;

PHOTOGRAPHY AND RECORDING

Private photographs and recordings for personal, non-commercial use are permitted while visiting the property;

Photography, filming or recording for commercial, professional, promotional, advertising, publication, resale or other commercial purposes is not permitted without our prior written consent;

The presence of any man or woman acting as a “photographer”, “videographer”, “content creator”, “media representative”, or otherwise attending for a commercial or professional purpose, must be disclosed to and agreed by us in writing before arrival;

Permission to enter or visit the property does not of itself grant permission to photograph, film or record the property, land, animals, those of mankind present, or anything upon the property for commercial or professional purposes;

FOOD, DRINK AND DIETARY REQUIREMENTS

Each man or woman is responsible for making us aware of any dietary requirements or allergies before attending and for deciding whether any food or drink offered is suitable for them;

Each man or woman remains responsible for managing their own dietary needs and allergies and for their choice to taste or consume anything offered;

Our drinking water is naturally filtered and mineral-rich; any man or woman choosing to drink it does so by their own choice and accepts the ordinary risks associated therewith;

HANDMADE AND OTHER PROPERTY

Our items are handmade in house with care and attention;

We make every reasonable effort to display the colours, appearance and details of our items accurately;

RETURNS

Where a return is accepted, the item must be returned unused, unaltered and, where reasonably possible, in its original packaging;

The man or woman returning an item is responsible for ensuring that it is securely packaged and, where applicable, for the cost and risk associated with returning it to us;

Property returned incomplete, used, altered, soiled or damaged while in the possession or control of the man or woman returning it may be ineligible for exchange or may result in an appropriate reduction to any refund otherwise due;

Where a return is accepted, we will refund the applicable value of the item or, where agreed, exchange it;

Where a refund is made for an order originally settled in Bitcoin or another digital currency, the Payment and Settlement terms of this agreement apply;

Each man or woman ordering property for international delivery is responsible for determining whether any such charges may become due and for meeting them where required;

Where a man or woman provides specific delivery instructions, including instructions for property to be left in a nominated place, with a nominated man or woman, or otherwise delivered according to particular instructions, those instructions are given at their responsibility;

We shall not be responsible for loss, theft, damage or deterioration occurring after property has been delivered to the receiving man or woman or otherwise delivered in accordance with authorised delivery instructions;

Where a man or woman independently appoints and arranges a man or woman acting as a “courier” or “carrier” that was not offered or arranged by us, responsibility for the property passes upon the property being handed to that man or woman;GENERAL TERMS

Any property which we of mankind create remains our property unless expressly agreed otherwise;

This includes, without limitation, writings, photographs, artwork, illustrations, designs, recordings and other original property created by us;
