2. The Hirer shall, when making the booking, inform VAR staff of all their requirements for rooms, facilities and equipment and the likely numbers involved. Use of additional rooms, facilities or equipment during the period of hire (that were not booked prior to the event), will depend on availability at the discretion of VAR and may incur additional cost. To assist our bookings team, if you need to cancel or change your booking at any time then please email admin@varotherham.org.uk Subsequent changes will incur an administration fee.
3. Bookings are available for a minimum of 1 hour in multiples of 1 hour starting on the hour. Part hours booked are charged at full hourly rate (e.g. 1.5 hours will be charge at 2 hours). VAR reception is open between 9 and 4.30 during weekdays. Access to The Spectrum is available from 8.00 (by prior arrangement) and staff will normally be on the premises until 5.30 (4:30 on Friday). VAR can accommodate evening and weekend bookings by arrangement but these will be subject to an additional charge.
4. There will be no charge for cancellations made prior to 10 working days before the event, unless the hirer has previously requested an invoice. Cancellations made between 10 and 5 working days of the event will be charged at 25% of the full rate. Under 5 days’ notice will be charged at 50%. Cancellations of 24 hours (or less) notice will be charged in full.

5. We reserve the right to levy a cleaning charge if rooms require additional cleaning beyond reasonable expectations of use. No tacks, screw, pins or similar objects can be used to attach objects to the wall in any meeting room. Hirers will be liable for any damage to VAR equipment arising from misuse.
