HeadBox's responsibilities are limited to: (i) facilitating the availability of the Site and Services (ii) negotiating contracts on behalf of Guests (see clause 2.3) and (iii) as payment collection agent handling payments from Guests on behalf of Hosts and returning payments to Guests (where applicable) ("Payment Agent").

2.2 The Host agrees that payment made by a Guest through HeadBox, shall be considered the same as a payment made directly to the Host, and the Host will provide the Venue booked by the Guest in the agreed-upon manner as if the Host has received the payment directly from the Guest.

2.3 The Host authorises HeadBox to negotiate (and for Events where the Agreed Total Cost is £5,000 or more (excluding VAT) to sign or otherwise conclude) contracts with Guests for the hire of the Venue in the name of and on behalf of the Host, without prior reference to the Host, on the terms contained in the Booking Form, together with the following terms:

2.3.1 For Events whereby the Agreed Total Cost is less than £5,000 (excluding VAT), the Venue Hire Terms as set out in Schedule 8; or

2.3.2 For Events whereby the Agreed Total Cost is £5,001 or more (excluding VAT), the Venue Hire Terms as set out in Schedule 8 together with the Headbox Host's standard terms of hire supplied to HeadBox prior to submission of the Booking Form to a Guest and/or the Guest’s standard terms of use supplied to the HeadBox Host with the Booking Form. In the event of any conflict, the following order of predence shall apply:

(c) Guest’s standard terms of use

(each an “Event Contract”).

2.6 Once the HeadBox Host has confirmed the Booking Request, HeadBox will confirm this with the Guest and require the Guest to accept the Booking Form. The HeadBox Host will hold the booking for 24 hours from confirming the Booking Request to allow the Guest time to accept the Booking Form. HeadBox will then seek confirmation from the HeadBox Host that the booking is confirmed. For Events under £5,000 (excluding VAT) or otherwise agreed, once the HeadBox Host has confirmed its acceptance of the Booking Form via the Site, a legally binding Event Contract between the Guest and the HeadBox Host is formed at this point. For Events over £5,000 (plus VAT) or otherwise agreed, once both HeadBox (on behalf of the Guest) and the HeadBox Host have signed the Booking Form, a legally binding Event Contract between the Guest and the HeadBox Host is formed. 

2.7 In the event that the Host does not provide Headbox with its own standard terms of hire pursuant to clause 2.3.2 of this Schedule, then the Venue Hire Terms set out in Schedule 8 shall apply to the Event Contract.

2.8 The Host also hereby authorises HeadBox to collect payments from the Guest pursuant to the Event Contract as Payment Agent and remit the funds to the Host in accordance with clause 5.2.2 of this schedule and to repay funds to a Guest following cancellation in accordance with the Cancellation Terms.
