Welcome to Men’s Porch. These Terms and Conditions govern your access to and use of our website, services, events, ticketing facilities and other content provided through www.mensporch.org.

Men’s Porch is a community-focused organisation committed to promoting men’s wellbeing, leadership, healthy relationships, family life, community development and positive social impact.

By accessing our website, purchasing tickets, registering for an event or using our services, you agree to comply with these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree with these terms, please discontinue use of the relevant services.

2. About Men’s Porch

Men’s Porch provides information, community engagement activities, events, awards, conferences, media content and other initiatives intended to promote positive social change.

References to Men’s Porch in these terms include the organisation, its authorised representatives and its official website and event activities.

3. Use of the Website

You agree to use this website lawfully and responsibly. You must not:

Use the website for fraudulent, unlawful or misleading purposes.
Attempt to gain unauthorised access to our website, systems or data.
Interfere with the website’s security, functionality or availability.
Upload malicious software or harmful content.
Copy, reproduce or distribute our content for commercial purposes without prior permission, except where permitted by law.

We reserve the right to restrict or suspend access where reasonably necessary to protect our website, users or organisation.

4. Event Registration and Ticket Purchases

Men’s Porch may offer tickets, registrations or bookings for events, including the Men’s Porch Legacy Awards, conferences, workshops and other community activities.

When purchasing a ticket or registering for an event:

You must provide accurate and complete information.
You must ensure that the selected ticket type, quantity and event details are correct before completing payment.
A booking is confirmed when payment has been successfully processed, where payment is required, and confirmation has been issued.
Tickets may be issued electronically and may be required for admission.
Each ticket is valid for the event, date, admission category and conditions stated at the time of purchase.
Tickets must not be duplicated, fraudulently resold or used for unauthorised commercial purposes.

We reserve the right to refuse or cancel a booking where there is reasonable evidence of fraud, payment failure, misuse or a breach of these terms. Where a booking is cancelled by us, any refund due will be handled in accordance with applicable law.

5. Event Changes and Cancellation

Men’s Porch will make reasonable efforts to deliver events as advertised. However, circumstances beyond our reasonable control may require changes to an event’s programme, speakers, performers, venue, timetable or other arrangements.

Where an event is postponed, relocated or cancelled, we will communicate material changes to ticket holders using the contact details supplied during registration.

If an event is cancelled or materially changed, available remedies, including refunds, exchanges or alternative arrangements, will be determined in accordance with the applicable booking terms and UK consumer law.

Nothing in these terms excludes any statutory rights you may have.

6. Refunds, Cancellations and Transfers

Refund eligibility may depend on the nature of the event, the ticket purchased, the reason for cancellation and the applicable legal requirements.

Unless otherwise stated in the specific event conditions:

Please contact Men’s Porch promptly if you need assistance with a booking.
Tickets are not automatically refundable simply because a ticket holder decides not to attend.
Ticket transfers or changes of attendee may be permitted at our discretion, subject to event-specific requirements.
Where a refund is approved or legally required, it will normally be returned using the original payment method, where practicable.

Some event bookings may be subject to statutory cancellation rights or exceptions under UK consumer law. We will not rely on this section to remove rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.

For refund or booking enquiries, contact us using the details published on our website.

7. Event Attendance and Conduct

All attendees are expected to behave respectfully and comply with reasonable instructions issued by event organisers, venue staff and authorised representatives.

Men’s Porch may refuse admission or require an attendee to leave where there is reasonable justification, including:

Abusive, threatening, discriminatory or violent behaviour.
Harassment or deliberate disruption.
Conduct that creates a safety risk.
Fraudulent use of tickets or other serious breaches of event rules.

Any decision will be proportionate to the circumstances and subject to applicable law. Admission restrictions do not remove any refund entitlement that may arise under applicable law.

Attendees are responsible for their personal belongings and for complying with the venue’s safety requirements.

8. Awards, Nominations and Voting

Where Men’s Porch operates awards, nominations, judging or public voting processes, participants must provide truthful information and comply with the published rules for the relevant award.

We reserve the right to investigate suspected manipulation, fraudulent nominations, duplicate or automated voting, conflicts of interest, impersonation or other breaches of published award rules.

Where there is credible evidence of misconduct, Men’s Porch may take proportionate action, including invalidating affected votes or nominations, subject to the relevant award rules and applicable law.

Judging decisions will be made in accordance with the published criteria and applicable procedures for the relevant award. Any specific eligibility, voting, judging or appeal rules published for an award will apply alongside these terms. Where there is a conflict, the specific award rules will govern that award process to the extent of the conflict.

9. Donations and Contributions

Where the website accepts donations or voluntary contributions, the applicable donation page will explain the purpose of the contribution and any relevant conditions.

Donations are distinct from ticket purchases and other paid transactions. A donation does not automatically entitle the donor to event admission, membership, products or other benefits unless these are expressly stated.

Refunds of donations will be considered in accordance with applicable law, the circumstances of the transaction and any applicable donation policy.

10. Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise stated, the website’s text, graphics, logos, photographs, videos, designs, publications, branding and other original content are owned by Men’s Porch or used with permission from the relevant rights holders.

You may view and share links to our publicly available content for personal, educational or non-commercial purposes, provided that you do not misrepresent the source or alter the material in a misleading way.

You must obtain appropriate permission before reproducing, commercially exploiting or distributing our protected content, except where permitted by law.

Third-party names, logos, trademarks and materials remain the property of their respective owners.

11. Photographs, Video and Event Media

Men’s Porch may photograph, film or record events for reporting, publicity, archival, promotional and community-engagement purposes.

Where recording may identify attendees, we will handle images and recordings in accordance with applicable data protection and privacy requirements, including providing appropriate notices and obtaining consent where legally required.

If you have concerns about the use of an identifiable image or recording, please contact us. We will consider your request in accordance with our legal obligations and the circumstances.

Separate arrangements may apply to speakers, performers, award recipients and other participants who have agreed to specific recording or publicity terms.

12. Privacy and Data Protection

We may collect personal information when you use our website, register for events, purchase tickets, submit nominations, vote, make donations or contact us.

Personal information will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable UK data protection legislation, including the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018, as applicable.

Our Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, how it is used, the circumstances in which it may be shared and how you can exercise your data protection rights.

Payment information may be processed by authorised third-party payment providers. Men’s Porch does not intend to retain full payment card details unless lawfully and appropriately authorised to do so.

13. Third-Party Services and Links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, payment providers, ticketing platforms, social media services or other external resources.

These services may be governed by their own terms and privacy policies. Men’s Porch does not control all third-party websites or services and is not responsible for their independent content, policies or availability.

Your use of third-party services is subject to their applicable terms.

14. Website Availability and Accuracy

We aim to keep our website information accurate and our services available. However, we do not guarantee that the website will always be uninterrupted, error-free or free from technical issues.

We may update, suspend or discontinue website features where reasonably necessary for maintenance, security, operational or other legitimate reasons.

We will take reasonable care when publishing information but cannot guarantee that every item of information remains current at all times. Important event details should be checked against the latest official announcement or booking confirmation.

15. Limitation of Liability

Nothing in these Terms and Conditions excludes or limits liability where such exclusion or limitation would be unlawful.

Subject to that protection, Men’s Porch will not be liable for losses arising from circumstances beyond its reasonable control, unauthorised use of a user’s account or booking information, or reliance on third-party services, except where applicable law provides otherwise.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

Where Men’s Porch provides services to consumers, your statutory rights remain unaffected.

16. Indemnity and Misuse

You are responsible for losses arising from your unlawful or fraudulent use of our website or deliberate infringement of our intellectual property rights, to the extent permitted by law.

Nothing in this section creates liability beyond what may lawfully be imposed on you, particularly where you are acting as a consumer.

17. Changes to These Terms

Men’s Porch may update these Terms and Conditions from time to time to reflect changes in our services, website functionality, operational practices or legal requirements.

The latest version will be published on this page with an updated revision date. Changes will not retrospectively remove rights already accrued or override contractual or statutory protections that apply to an existing booking.

18. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms and Conditions are governed by the laws of England and Wales, subject to any mandatory consumer protection rules that apply to you.

Disputes will be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales where legally appropriate. This clause does not remove any mandatory rights a consumer may have to bring proceedings in another court with jurisdiction.
