The terms and conditions set out below are binding for all ticket purchases sold by TimeTrap Escape Rooms (hereafter also referred to as ‘us’ ‘our’ and ‘we’). Please read and understand them. It is the responsibility of the purchaser, that is, the person first named on the booking (hereafter ‘you’ and ‘your’) to make sure that the team, that is, all those that attend the experience, also read and understand these conditions. The purchaser is also wholly responsible for all team members aged under 16 and their actions.

Any reference to ‘you’ or ‘your’ includes the first named person on the booking and all persons on whose behalf a booking is made or any other person to whom a booking is added or transferred.

All interpretations of the following terms and conditions shall be at the sole and absolute discretion of TimeTrap Escape Rooms.

These terms and conditions and any contract concluded incorporating these terms and conditions shall be governed by English law and all disputes shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.

By confirming your booking, you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions.

1. General

1.1. Nothing in these terms and conditions is intended to affect your statutory rights.

1.2. We do not recommend our experiences for children under the age of 10, but leave this to the discretion of the customer. No refunds will be given when requested due to unsuitability of the experience for those under 10.

1.3. Any persons under the age of 14 should be accompanied by a parent or guardian aged 18+. We highly recommend a 1:1 ratio for any children under the age of 14 due to the complexity of puzzles in the rooms.

1.4. Due to the nature of escape games, customers are not permitted to disclose specific details of the experience to others nor make any details of the experience public.

1.5. Due to the nature of the experience, no recordings are permitted. This includes the use of cameras, mobile phones and any other device capable of recording video and/or audio. Furthermore the use, copy, distribution, public display or creation of any imitative work from TimeTrap Escape Rooms is not permitted.

1.6. All trade marks and logos are the property of TimeTrap Escape Rooms. You are not permitted to use any of these images without the written consent of TimeTrap Escape Rooms and you accept that any such use may constitute an infringement of the proprietor’s rights.

2. Access

2.1. As we are in the centre of town, there is no car parking on site and, therefore, we recommend that customers factor this into their travel arrangements.

2.2. Due to the nature of the location, there is no disabled access to TimeTrap Escape Rooms. If you or any member of your party has a medical problem or disability which may be affected by this, please contact us before booking and we will endeavour to accommodate your party to the best of our abilities. If we are not able to accommodate you, we may not be able to confirm a booking with you. If you book without contacting us regarding the medical problem or disability of one of your team members and later realise the experience is not suitable, the level of refund you receive will be at our discretion.

We will endeavour to meet special requests where possible, but we regret we cannot promise that any requests will be complied with unless we have specifically confirmed this in writing before the booking was confirmed.

5.2. If you wish to rearrange a booking you must inform us at least seven days before the date of the experience. If contacted at least seven days before the date of the experience, we will endeavour to rearrange your booking, although we cannot guarantee that your preference of date and time will be available. If no appropriate date and time can be found, we reserve the right to cancel the booking. A rescheduling fee will be applied if an alternate date is found. 

5.3. As this is a live event, your experience will run from the time specified at booking whether the entire team is present or not. If late, you will be given the choice to complete your experience for the amount of time remaining but will not be allowed to overrun. No refunds will be given in this circumstance. It is your responsibility to ensure you arrive on time.

5.4. Experiences may not be transferred or resold for commercial purposes or at a premium. If it is believed that an experience has been transferred or resold without the permission of TimeTrap Escape Rooms, both the original purchaser and the person claiming the right to attend will be refused admission.

If this situation does occur, we will refund the payment made to us when the booking was confirmed, however, we will be unable to pay you compensation or meet any costs or expenses you incur as a result. ‘Force majeure’ means any event which we could not, even with all due care, foresee or avoid. Such events may include war or threat of war, riot, civil strife, terrorist activity, industrial dispute, natural or nuclear disaster, adverse weather conditions, fire and all similar events outside our control.
